I could tell straight away that I was in safe hands. Gary knows his stuff and his knowledge and experience of the market was very reassuring, especially when choosing the best way sell the property. He made himself readily available and kept me informed every step of the way. When it came to preparing the house to go market Gary helped me organise gardeners, cleaners, tradespeople and rubbish removers, taking a massive stress off of my shoulders. The marketing of the house was simple but effective. From very impressive photos that showed off the properties true appeal, to several highly successful open days that pulled in substantial numbers of people. The house was sold on schedule and Gary negotiated the best offer on the day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend First National Waitakere to any future seller or buyer.

We had an outstanding experience working with Olivia. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. Olivia took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. Her expertise in the local market made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. She was always available to answer my questions and provided valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated real estate agent who truly cares about her clients’ satisfaction.

We have just brought a house from one of Olivia's clients and we found that Olivia was really easy to deal with, fast, efficient and very up front with all our dealings. If you are selling or buying real estate in the Waitakere area then you couldn't go wrong by contacting Olivia.

I can't rate Gary highly enough and his expert guidance and understanding of the real estate process, from the very start of valuing and marketing our unique property through to securing a 'sold' sticker, made this the best possible experience in a challenging marketplace. While Gary acted on behalf of us as the vendors, he has the ability to relate to potential purchasers and ensure they are receiving a great level of service also to help them in their decision-making. Nothing was too hard for Gary and he listened patiently to our requests, acting on most of what we asked for but suggesting alternatives when he knew the request was not in our best interests. Most of all, I had the utmost trust in Gary and the team at First National Real Estate Waitakere to act on our behalf, using his extensive understanding of the local market and years of experience to get the very best outcomes for us and the purchasers who bought our Waitakere wonderland.

There are not enough stars to rate Olivia! I am so incredibly grateful to have had Olivia as our agent and making an unbelievable sale after three months of steadfast dedication to selling our unique property. The way Olivia conducts herself is so personable while being equally professional. Her knowledge of the local market made such a difference, not only in guiding us and managing our expectations, but also when she was talking to potential purchasers. I really couldn't have asked for anything more and so appreciate Olivia's prompt responses and timely communications, along with her calm and patient manner. She is a real all-rounder, making sure that we as the vendor were well looked after and potential purchasers were treated with respect, not just as a means to an end.

we recently listed and sold our home at 9 Millstone Lane with Olivia. She was extremely professional, the whole process was a lot less stressful than expected and nothing was a problem. Olivia had great advice, was very efficient and the line of communication was always excellent, informative and friendly. I would not hesitate in recommending Olivia.

We couldn't recommend Gary and the team at First National Waitakere enough. Right from the start they understood how we wanted to handle things and helped us to achieve a great outcome in a difficult market. Our values matched those displayed by Gary and the team and while things felt relaxed and stress free the attention to detail and focus on getting a result was always front of mind. We were aligned on where we saw the value of our property and together we saw this achieved. Too often you see properties sold too quickly and below their true value. You won't see this from Gary and his team. If you are looking for down to earth, good humans who get great results - First National Waitakere is where to go.

We had the pleasure of working with Olivia Aitken as our real estate agent, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Olivia is friendly, personable, and above all, up front and honest in her approach. Her style of communication made us feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire sale process. The marketing she put together was top-notch—everything from the photography to the listing details was carefully crafted to highlight our property at its best. We honestly couldn’t fault the process at any stage. Olivia made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for an agent who is professional, approachable, and delivers excellent results, Olivia is the one to call! Highly recommended.
