Highly recommend

We had a really positive experience with Wanly. From the beginning, she went well beyond what I would expect from an agent, helping us organise jobs around the property and dealing directly with tradespeople to keep everything moving. She kept us well informed throughout, gave good advice and was always responsive. Most importantly, she got us a great result quickly. We were very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend her.

Fortune Favours the Brave

Julie proved to be right! I was keen to sell my home but nervous about timing given the market conditions prevailing at the beginning of winter. The US/Iran war and subsequent oil crisis were causing huge uncertainty/volitility to global financial markets. New Zealand was not immune. Julie was certain motivated buyers were on the horizon. I followed her marketing advice, took the plunge and put my home up for sale. Her local knowledge proved correct and I was happy to accept what I believed to be a good, unconditional, offer immediately after the first weekend of open homes. With many years of selling houses on Birkenhead Point her instinct and local knowledge proved correct. Thank you Julie.

Sold my home from overseas — completely stress-free

I can't recommend Joe highly enough. I had to sell my property while working overseas, under real time pressure to relocate — and with my job being extremely busy, I simply couldn't be hands-on with any of it. He took the entire process off my shoulders. He arranged all the repairs, organized professional staging, and ran the open homes seamlessly. On top of that, he went well beyond what any agent is expected to do — he even helped me sell my furniture and my car. Being on the other side of the world, I had to trust him completely, and he earned that trust at every step. Everything was handled professionally, and he kept me informed throughout. If you're selling a property and need someone reliable, proactive, and genuinely willing to go the extra mile — especially if you can't be there yourself — he's the person you want. Thank you for making a stressful situation completely stress-free.
