His knowledge of the market was very key in helping give an understanding of my property valuation and what I would likely sell it for. He was very professional and kind in what was a very challenging sale and time, as well as quick to communicate and respond to any queries.

What more can you ask having presented four bidders at the auction and property sold at a price exceeding expectations during this market downturn. With Cecilia and Betty as our listing agent, we knew we were in good hands right from the start. They have good insight of the market, they understand how to present the home in a way that highlights its strongest features. It is no surprise that there were around 50 groups of buyers who came through during the campaign especially in this market! Their communication was exceptional. They constantly updated us, explained feedback from viewings, answered our questions promptly etc. Not only did they keep us well informed, they were attentive to potential buyers, to help facilitate their interest in the property. Their good communication also extends to other professionals involved in the sale, helping everything progress smoothly. Not only that, they always went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of. When unexpected issues arise, they remained calm and worked with all parties to find practical solutions. You can count on them to turn the situation around! Home buying and selling is a very stressful process, but their guidance and support made the process so much easier. We couldn’t have done it without Betty and Cecilia!!!

Working with Grant throughout our home buying journey has been an outstanding experience. Grant keeps communication flowing seamlessly. His responsiveness, integrity, and calm approach helped remove the stress from the transaction and ensured both sides reached a smooth, positive outcome. I truly appreciate his dedication, prompt problem-solving, and genuine guidance. We highly recommend Grant to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

We would highly recommend working with James to sell your home (and buy your next one!). He was amazing to work with and right from our first meeting, he was warm and friendly, honest about his thoughts and advice, but he also listened to us and our concerns or questions. James was so efficient with his communication and fast replies, always answering our questions within minutes. He helped organise contractors quickly for any work needed on our home, and he has such a good understanding and insight into the property market, which put us at ease. We are so grateful to have met James and to have worked with him to sell our home and find our next home. We would recommend him to everyone!

We couldn't recommend James highly enough. From our very first conversation through to putting the SOLD sticker up, James was incredibly proactive, responsive and genuinely invested in getting us the best possible result. This was our first time selling a home, and James made what could have been a pretty stressful process feel manageable. What impressed us most was how hands-on he was. When an unexpected issue appeared on an old council record, James didn't just tell us to sort it out — he immediately got involved, contacted people from his network, came to the property himself and helped organised an investigation. That level of commitment really summed up our experience with him. His advice around preparing and marketing the house was also excellent. He knew what was worth spending money and effort on, what buyers would notice, and how to make our property stand out. The photography and marketing looked fantastic and generated a huge amount of interest from the moment we went live. Communication throughout the campaign was exceptional. James kept us updated after viewings and open homes, followed up buyers, attended building inspections and was always available when we had questions — often well outside normal working hours. Most importantly, he delivered. We had around 40 groups through in our first week, received a strong unconditional offer, brought the auction forward and had additional bidders interested. We were absolutely delighted with the final result. James works incredibly hard for his vendors, but he's also a genuinely lovely person to deal with. We always felt that he was on our side and cared about the outcome as much as we did. Thank you James for everything. We wouldn't hesitate to use you again and would happily recommend you to anyone thinking of selling on the North Shore. A very well-deserved 5 stars!

Grant was a very good communicator throughout the whole process of selling our parent's house. He was very transparent and regularly kept us up-to-date on how the open homes were going. He gave us honest feedback and advice as to what we needed to do along the way. I know Grant worked very hard, and did a lot of extra work behind the scenes as we had a lot of groups through, and many people revisiting the property. Grant also explained the auction process to us very well and was a very calming influence on auction day. I would definitely recommend Grant if you are looking for an honest, unflappable, and dedicated real estate agent to work with.

James is incredibly good at his job. It ensures the bridge between sellers and buyers, and with clear guidelines, it identifies and informs them what is needed most quickly and accurately. I bought my first house that I loved because of a truly wonderful experience.
