Purchaser - An agent that goes over and beyond!

Purchaser - An agent that goes over and beyond!

AAA+++ 10/10.... As a purchaser, I had exemplary service from Shane and cannot recommend him highly enough. Top notch communication and full transparency. All questions answered in a timely manner, and with excellent detail. I purchased a home through Shane June 2024, and every detail from initial contact, viewing, offer contract, negotiation and final purchase felt transparent and secure. Shane's knowledge is solid and his ability to tune into the client's requirements seems intuitive. Unfortunately possession day was challenging due to the Northland power cuts. But Shane went over and beyond to find a solution to settlement in the absence of power and computers holding up legal transactions. It was a late settlement (think dark and raining) but Shane was supportive through the whole ordeal. Just having someone empathetic and who cared made a huge difference to navigate a frustratingly long and stressful day entirely out of anyone's control. I don't see myself moving anytime soon (I found my perfect home), but if I do, I will be calling Shane first. I can't recommend Shane highly enough. Thank you!

Jennifer is very easy to deal with and displays very strong communication skills. This honest and forthright communication enabled us to secure our property for a price we felt was appropriate.

A very welcomed relief !

Roxanne brought honesty, reliability, energy, intelligence and great integrity to her work with Harcourt's and assisting me with purchasing a home here in Whangarei during a very stressful time. I would have no hesitation in using Roxanne again with purchasing or selling a home given her hugely reliable and honest nature, and the all round positive experience.

Roxanne is an agent who works hard but what is even more impressive, works smart by understanding what I was looking for as a buyer, using market research tools to identify potential opportunities. Throughout the whole process from viewing to finalising the purchase, she provided much needed guidance, also excellent communication between vendor, lawyers, home inspector and myself, with gentle yet professional demeanor and a positive can-do attitude. Whenever I needed advice or information, she is always there answering queries in a timely manner. I can only imagine how stressful the job of a real estate agent can be, but despite juggling multiple properties at different stages, each posing its unique challenges, Roxanne could still answer my phone calls by addressing my name made me feel I was well looked after. I would highly recommend her.

We cannot rate Roxanne high enough. With a difficult sale, she has shown perseverance, reliability and positivity. Roxanne has been extremely professional throughout the process and updated us on a timely and regular basis. Would definitely recommend her to future sellers.

The best we've dealt with

The best we've dealt with

As first home buyers we nervous and unsure. We went to many open homes and dealt with a variety of agents from different agencies. Aiden stood out from the first email and after the first call. Responding and keeping true to his word we felt at ease signing the S&P. As you do, we had a variety of set back and changes which included having to change our broker in between and asking for extensions. Through out this whole process it felt that Aiden was not only on the Vendor's side but also on ours. Aiden is someone that can be trusted and is the only agent that I will recommend to family and friends. Not only did we buy our first home, we also made a new friend.

Highly recommended

Dianne was excellent to work with in selling our property. She was empathetic, knowledgeable, honest, and realistic the whole time. I was impressed with how she communicated with us as a separated couple, with respect and care. She really wants the best outcome for all involved. We had some unknown elements pop up during the sale and she was helpful and provided support, advice and contacts to help us work those things out. I would highly recommend Dianne to anyone wanting to sell their home.

Very happy vendor.

Very happy vendor.

Carina and Greg provided an excellent service in the recent sale of my property. I was overseas at the time and they did an amazing job of preparing and marketing the property. I literally didn't arrive back in the country until the day before the auction where a sale was achieved. I would highly recommend their professional and friendly service and would not hesitate to use them again.

He is trustworthy, very friendly and polite, not easily offended, and straight to the point. We would hire him above most others of the trade. Well done Aiden.

Carina was so kind and explained everything so nicely and professionally. It was a luck for us to meet Carina. If you want to meet a fantastic helper who makes you want to buy a house meet Carina.

We purchased 2 houses on a single cross lease section listed by Jennifer. Right from the start our experience was positive and up front about property details.
