Gavin and Bel were fantastic to deal with. They came up with a clear plan to get our property sold quickly and kept us informed every step of the way. Their communication was excellent throughout the process, and Gavin did a great job as auctioneer on the day. We really appreciated their guidance, professionalism, and the great result they achieved for us. We would happily recommend them to others.

Chris has excellent market knowledge and is a true professional. We had every faith that Chris would conduct our sale in a friendly professional way and he certainly did just that. Highly recommend Chris as a very knowledgeable approachable and professional consultant. We were thrilled with the result and the whole selling experience.

We believe Chris's honesty with us and particularly prospective buyers helped keep a large number of buyers interested up to the auction. This in turn drove the auction dynamic towards a favourable outcome for us. Chris also made some suggestions such as carrying out asbestos testing and then completing a building report that turned out to be invaluable tools to be used for the sale of the property. The small things matter. While preparing the property for the first viewing Chris arrived with a lawn edging tool and tidied up the lawn along the footpath. He also arrived a little early before each open home with a leaf blower to have a quick tidy up. Staging the house with large print outs of virtual staging pictures was a fantastic idea and helped prospective buyers visualise what each room could look like. Communication is key and Chris kept us informed throughout the whole process. This kept us relaxed and at ease which was important as we were away on holiday for some of the time during the lead up to the auction.

Gavin and Bel were fantastic to work with. Their strong knowledge of the local market gave us confidence, and they stayed motivated and positive even when our sale took longer than expected. They made the whole process feel easy, and we really appreciated how quick they were with feedback and keeping us in the loop.

We had a great experience selling our home with Bel and Gavin. They were professional, approachable, and easy to deal with throughout the entire process. What stood out was the accuracy of their advice from the beginning. Their assessment of the property's value proved to be spot on, and they guided us confidently through each stage of the sale. Communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and supported. We're really happy with the outcome and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bel and Gavin to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

Bel and Gavin did an excellent job selling our property, and turned a complex process of both buying and selling at the same time into a relatively seamless and stress-free experience. They helped us achieve a result that we could not have done alone. We really appreciate their skill and diligence in bringing everything together and would definitely work with them again.

Tom was approachable throughout the entire purchase process. He was always available to answer questions and provide local knowledge of the housing & apartment market in Central Otago. Tom was extremely professional in his approach towards us as the purchaser.

As soon as I contacted Tom with my check list for a new property, he swung into action. He listened to what I wanted and didn't waste my time with unwanted viewings or communication. He is very easy to talk to, always got back to me when I messaged and when it came to negotiation....he is the best. He gave great advice, no if's or buts and didn't try to wrangle more money out of me. He's a great guy to have as an agent and also a fabulous friend, going above and beyond the call of duty. Highly, Highly recommended.

Tom has an excellent understanding of the market and useful information to assist with helping in decision making along the way. Always very friendly responsive and professional. Gave regular updates and realistic appraisals of buyer interests after showing the property. Thoroughly recommend.

I chose to work with Gavin and Bell regarding the sale of my Lake Hawea primary residence after liaising closely with them over a five year period. During that time frame I saw them become the leading sales experts for our eclectic local market. So away we went. Communication was extremely timely, clear and concise and openly honest. It's OK to have differences of opinion. In fact its a good thing to have with your agent. Finding compromise and having 'what if' scenarios within our comprehensive 'three option' selling proposition was part of our sales discovery process. Its essential that Gavin and Bell attended all the open homes personally. What you learn in conversation, post open home follow ups, and casual viewing commentary is and was critical for full discovery outside of the offers in our case. We picked the perfect time for the open home sessions with people everywhere during the peak summer season. We attracted close to 30 groups to come through over that period. The photos were 'money' and spot on to maximize the effect of the property. With respect to our objective of price discovery, I would say the offers received did not show us a true indicator regarding appropriate value pricing given the type of buyers coming through, ( many locals seeking to relocate), the competitive offerings and the macro economic environment of the Gulf Conflict. We did get good input into value from the buyer feedback, particulary with lot #47's empty section requiring power and water connections. Today's buyers want and need turn key solutions Here is perhaps the most important part of the review, through the process and into a period of post deadline viewings and follow ups, Gavin remained incredibly positive and continued to run the process after I had pretty much given up. As a result of that continued optimism and commitment, an acceptable offer came out of the shadows. Job well done, kudos to all at Harcourts that played their roles in the team approach.
