Perseverance and a great result

Perseverance and a great result

I had a fantastic experience with James Blackwood and Anna Allen from Tremains Real Estate selling my home in Masterton. From the beginning, James stood out from the other agents I spoke with. He was prepared to entertain the possibility that my property could achieve a higher price and could see potential in it that others perhaps didn’t. Throughout the sale, James was professional, approachable and kept me well informed. When things became a little stressful, his calm and reassuring manner was particularly appreciated. He helped me keep things in perspective and guided me through the process without ever making me feel pressured. In what was a relatively quiet buyer’s market, James and Anna worked hard and ultimately achieved a very reasonable price for the property. I always felt he was focused on getting the best possible result for me. I’m very pleased I chose James and Anna and would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking to sell their home in Masterton or the wider Wairarapa.

James and Anna were amazing to deal with. The advice was spot on, from the asking price to the marketing. James was excellent at keeping us well informed of progress at every turn. I was impressed with the friendly professionalism from everyone involved. James negotiated a far better deal than I ever imagined, we’re very impressed. Wouldn’t use anyone else. Thanks guys!

We recently sold our home with James, and his optimistic energy truly gave us hope during a stressful time. He brought a positive, problem-solving attitude to every challenge and made all the complicated paperwork feel incredibly easy. He connected us with the right lawyers to get everything sorted out quickly. We felt completely supported and after lots of fingers crossed we got a good result. We highly recommend him!

It was a pleasure working with Anna on the purchase of my new property. She was a great listener and fully understood and worked around my personal requirements. Anna was always readily available to answer any queries I had and her knowledge of the local market was invaluable.
