We interviewed 5 different agencies and Carol came out on top. She came and saw my house and then told me how it was for the market. Other agents came in with photos from google that were years old and told me what they could sell it for, because the houses in the area were selling for that price. Carol managed to get 2 contracts on my property. With the first buyer, I requested to carry on with the marketing because they offer a price and then find a way to try and reduce it. Within a week she had an unconditional offer which came into affect the moment they tried to change the contract. The house went to the second purchaser and I'm very grateful for the extra work she did to make it happen.

Carole is a lovely person first and foremost. Professional as anything, but also, deeply relatable and human. She did a LOT of follow up calls, digging, extra call backs for our place, her dilligence was appreciated. She was always on time, able to take calls, answer my questions and more then happy to take time to have a chat about any worries. For a task thats thought of as bloody stressful, a person like Carol was a blessing.

From the first viewing to the last item on my check list, Carol was there to chase, dig and find an answer for every query to make this experience easy to me (and I believe to the seller as well). She always found the time to be there in person or online when we had question or needed communication. Thank you very much for helping us make this purchase painless.

Kia ora, We would like to share our sincere appreciation for the amazing work Vanessa did in selling our home in Whangārei. From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of dedication, honesty, and professionalism that truly set her apart. Vanessa didn’t just act as our agent ... she walked alongside us through every stage of the process with patience, care, and genuine commitment. What stood out most was her deep sense of Whanau and the way she brings that into her work. She understands that selling a home is not just a transaction... it is emotional, personal, and often stressful. Vanessa approached our journey with compassion and integrity, always taking the time to explain each step clearly and making sure we felt supported and comfortable with every decision. Her strong work ethic was evident in the way she went above and beyond for us, often anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. She advocated for us, guided us, and gave us complete confidence that we were in the best hands possible. In every interaction, Vanessa was transparent, trustworthy, and completely honest ...qualities that are rare and deeply appreciated in today’s real estate market. We cannot speak highly enough of her. If you are looking for someone who combines professionalism with heart, who values people as much as property, and who will genuinely look after you throughout your real estate journey, Vanessa is that person. We love you Ness, your the best. 💗 Whakataukī: “Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.” (With your contribution and mine, the people will thrive.) Ngā mihi nui, Sonya & Donny Stevenson

Carol made the buying process very seamless. She was realistic about the property and shared all the knowledge she had around its history. Her communication was excellent and always made time for us. She is super authentic and easy to talk to.

Hazely was super easy to deal with, was never too pushy, and let me take things at my own pace. He was super transparent and very flexible too.

Great in all aspects of the transaction on a professional level (knowledge, comunication, professionalism). Although obviously working for the vendor, it felt like Vanessa worked for both parties, and she managed to come up with a fair outcome, where both of us were happy. Vanessa seems like a genuine nice/honest person, and all you could ask for when selling/purchasing a property. Great experience all round, highly recommended.
