In most areas, Giles Simons has been great - good knowledge of the market on Banks Peninsula, prompt answers with our questions and good suggestions on different paths forward. A couple of areas are of concern: - Not revealing the consequences of accepting a lower deposit. Should the prospective purchaser fail to fulfil his contractual obligations, the lower deposit will be completely used up by real estate agent fees, lawyer's fees and auctioneer's fees. Indeed, we may well have to pay extra monies for these fees (over and above the deposit) and still have no sale of our property. - Although not completely the fault of Harcourts Grenadier, a cash buyer was allowed to slip through the net at the auction.

Giles was able to give our property context and background when he wrote the promotional material, his knowledge of Bank Peninsula was unique and personalised. Giles is a great communicator and responded to all our questions and concerns promptly and directly which was appreciated. He was professional and worked hard to get our property sold.

We are happy to recommend Giles to anyone looking at selling their home. Giles went above and beyond and his communication was excellent, keeping us updated throughout the process. Giles has wonderful knowledge of the Real Estate industry and supported us through the auction process which we were a bit worried about. A lovely man who knows his stuff and has become a family friend.

We have been privileged to have had the opportunity to negotiate our purchase of the Akaroa property with Giles as Harcourts agent. His outstanding knowledge of the Akaroa area and of the property at Selwyn Ave gave us much confidence in arriving at the decision to purchase on auction day. Post auction we now consider Giles also as a close friend and Harcourts should be proud to have Giles as their agent representing property owners in the Banks Peninsular area. We cannot speak more highly.

Professional and experienced with great knowledge of the area.

Giles Simons was our agent selling a house in Akaroa. He organized everything and we merely complied with his advice trusting that he knew much more about the entire process than we did. In fact we weren’t even in the country through most of the marketing process. He kept us updated with regular marketing reports so by auction date we had as much information as available which helped our decision-making.

Giles was a pleasure to deal with from the start. He offered a realistic property value assessment from the outset and prepared an effective marketing plan. Feedback during the auction process was excellent and he maintained this throughout the subsequent process. He was able to re-group quickly once the auction process fell over. Undeterred, Giles’ dedication to open homes and his local market knowledge, yielded buyers in the target price range. He used his professional experience and buyer-assessment skills to weed out the tyre-kickers to secure a genuine, realistic buyer. Giles exhibits genuine, thoughtful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly personality traits that help make him an awesome choice as a realestate agent. We have no hesitation in recommending him as a first choice agent.
