TESTIMONIALS Tina promised me a 'happy ending' as I'd previously had 2 unsatisfactory experiences with estate agents. It took a while due to the current market, but I got my happy ending! Tina is impressively hard working and professional at every stage of the process. I personally think it's a bonus to have an agent who effectively moves between Chinese and English speaking buyers. K Parker Both Helen & I were very pleased with the diligent and professional service we received from Tina. The key to any good customer service is keeping the customer informed and updated on developments; Tina certainly excelled with her communications. I would recommend Tina to anyone considering selling in the Howick area. Martin & Helen Peters Tina has been amazing in her presentation in representing me in the process of selling my property. I find her to be incredibly professional, courteous and honest. She has shown that she undeniably put my interest at heart. I've been very happy with her approach and successful outcome. She's a dynamic salesperson and appreciate her suggestion to improve presentation of property. Thank you very much Tina! Shereen White Tina is a lovely person. Very helpful during the entire process especially as we are both new to the real estate process in NZ. Arranged for us to see the house as many times as we wanted. Tina behaved in a courteous and professional manner at all times. K & N Bishop Many thanks for selling the family home in such a short marketing time frame. It is a testament to your realty skills. What a huge relief to us that the reserve price was reached given the fast pace in which the Auckland market is changing. For a small piece of dirt it is a great result. So again fantastic result, and I hope this sale puts Team Tina firmly on everyone’s wish list in 2016 for marketing their properties M Newbold Tina is nice, patient with her professional performance. She knows how to build a rapport with her client in a very short time. She did an excellent job in selling our property, put in a lot of hard work towards the very satisfactory outcomes. I will highly recommend her to my friends and also choose her again when I get another new property Harry & Jun Tina is very calm and professional. She always seems at least one step ahead and understands the dynamics of marketing and selling a property. She appears to have a wide personal network and knows how to get maximum exposure of the property. We would certainly recommend Tina to friends and neighbours. A D Harsant and L Dai

About Karl
Born and raised in the Eastern Beaches, Karl’s unmatched affinity and knowledge of the area comes from being a long-time local. Over 25+ years after turning a burgeoning interest in real estate into a bonafide career, Karl has faced the challenges of the property market’s booms, slumps and recovery cycles and has come out the other side with a loyal customer base that is a testament to his unsurpassable levels of passion, service, and knowledge. Karl’s unwavering dedication to ensuring his clients get the best outcome possible has led to his outstanding sales total of $870 million +, which is solidified by the beaming smiles on the faces of over 4,000 happy clients. This roaring success has earned Karl multiple awards, including “Top Harcourts Consultant in Howick”, and a place in the “Top 5 Harcourts Real Estate Agents Internationally”. Aside from the property market taking up a lot of real estate in his heart, Karl has always had an adoration of nature. This has lead to his 5-acre lifestyle block out in Whitford to be home to not only his beautiful wife Louise and their two kids of 11 and 16, but dozens of rescue animals too! All surrounded by more than 20,000 (predominantly native) trees. Tucked away somewhere among all that are a few of his favourite Barry Crump books. If not enjoying the sunshine on his own property, Karl loves to explore near and far - from visiting surf spots in NZ with his family, to travelling through his favourite parts of Europe and Asia. Many of Karl’s adventures go hand in hand with his love for being active - especially water sports and martial arts.

Hard working and personable ladies.

Cherie and Lisa worked solidly for over a year during the 14 month renovation and marketing of our home in Shelly Park. They were communicating with us on a weekly basis as well as covering weekly open homes and appointment viewings. We developed a wonderful relationship with them and will miss that now that we have sold. They were truly professional and but at the same warm and supportive.

The stars aligned at Aries.

We had a really positive experience with the agents involved in purchasing our first home. The property was presented beautifully, and the tour of the house gave us a good feel for the home. We particularly appreciated their quick and clear communication. They responded promptly and were efficient at liaising between us and the vendor, helping keep everything moving smoothly. As first-home buyers, this made the process feel much easier. They also demonstrated deep insights to the surrounding neighbourhood. Thank you for your professionalism and support—we would happily recommend the team!

Fantastic experience!

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Sherry throughout the process of purchasing my property, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From being incredibly welcoming and professional at the open home, to being clear, helpful, and constructive throughout the sales agreement process, Sherry made the entire experience feel effortless. His communication was exceptional, and he was always happy to take the time to explain things again whenever I wasn’t sure or didn’t fully understand. He went above and beyond what I would expect from a real estate agent and genuinely made the whole process much easier. I couldn’t recommend Sherry highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping, Sherry is your guy.

A proven real estate professional who went above and beyond to secure the sale.

Kevin is an experienced and knowledgeable agent. He provided considered advice on what would be needed to sell our house, in a tough market, and this made all the difference in getting a great sale. We needed to renovate our home (carpet, paint, garden, electrics, cleaners, staging) after many years of being well lived in. Kevin was able to recommend a wide range of contractors to assist us. The prices were reasonable and the quality of work exceptional. As we don't live locally Kevin supported us in overseeing that the work got done in a timely fashion. Kevin was a great communicator and kept us updated on every step of the sale/auction process. He supported us through the auction process and realistic on the results we would obtain. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone wanting to sell their home in the Botany area.

Team Tina – The Best Team in Auckland!

We would like to say a huge thank you to Tina, Sherry and the entire Team Tina for their incredible work selling our project at 14 Vida Place. Our property had been on the market for several months with another agency, but unfortunately, we had very little interest and no successful result. We were beginning to feel frustrated and uncertain about what to do next. Then we decided to relist with Team Tina — and everything changed! From the moment Tina and her team took over, the energy, professionalism and commitment were completely different. They created a strong marketing campaign, followed up with buyers tirelessly, and most importantly, they knew exactly how to create competition in a challenging market. The results were beyond our expectations. Within just four weeks, Lot 3 was sold and another two lots were placed under contract, with multiple offers coming in almost immediately. To achieve this in the current market is truly remarkable. We were incredibly impressed by the communication, dedication and genuine care shown by Tina and the whole team. They didn’t just list our properties — they believed in the project, worked incredibly hard for us, and delivered results. We are so grateful that we chose Team Tina and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property and achieve the best possible result. Thank you, Team Tina, for turning a challenging situation into an amazing success story! Professional. Dedicated. Results-driven. Simply the best team in Auckland!
