Calm, professional and easy to deal with

We had a really positive experience working with Mathew on the sale of our home. He was professional, approachable and easy to deal with throughout the process. Communication was very good and he kept us informed along the way, while providing clear and practical advice when we needed it. We appreciated his calm approach, local market knowledge and the work he put into getting the sale across the line. We’d happily recommend Mathew to anyone looking to sell their home.

Sally gets the job done!

We have sold three properties with Sally. She’s a bit of a character with a great personality and we loved working with her. Sally is incredibly professional and focused and each time we have worked with her, she has got the job done and sold our house. She knows her area really well, having built up a great network of clients and potential buyers, which helps the whole process of marketing and selling the property to happen relatively quickly. Sally just seems to make things happen and we highly recommend her as an agent who can sell your house.

Great result and exceptional local knowledge

We had a fantastic experience with Sally selling our home at 17 Hilltop Road. She was professional, friendly, and supportive throughout the entire process, making what can be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. Sally’s knowledge and expertise in the Greerton/Parkvale area were invaluable. Her understanding of the local market, the neighbourhood, and what buyers are looking for gave us real confidence throughout the sale. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us informed every step of the way. We really appreciated Sally’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible result for us, despite a challenging market. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sally to anyone looking to sell their home, especially in the Greerton/Parkvale area. Thank you, Sally, for making the whole experience such a positive one!

Amazing Service - went above & beyond!

We first met Mathew at the open home. He was incredibly professional, friendly, and easy to speak with - he built a good rapport effortlessly with us. He showed great knowledge of the Pyes Pa area and surrounding suburbs and was able to let us know all the local facilities and benefits of buying in this area. During the buying process he was an absolute pleasure to work with and was very professional in his approach. Mathew was a very clear communicator and responded quickly to all requests. He was very positive about outcomes to do with the home which helped build good trust with us in the process of purchasing this home. Mathew negotiated well with the vendors to ensure all checks were done and any minor work to be done on the home (that arose from the building report) was rectified before settlement date. He worked very well with our Mortgage broker Jack and other key people too. Mathew was there for us at every step – pre-settlement checks & then on/around settlement day. He went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly in all areas! We were blown away by his kindness and his genuine nature and would absolutely work with him again in the future. We will be recommending him to friends and contacts who wish to buy in Tauranga. We are so happy in our new home and are very grateful to Mathew for all his help and support! Thanks again Mathew!
