Derek was positive right from my first encounter with him, that he could give me a good result with the sale of my treasured home of the last eight and half years in Otaki. He respected my wishes re pricing and presentation. Within a week he had clients viewing and very shortly after it was sold. He enabled the process to occur with little stress to me ,keeping me informed along the way. He showed empathy to me and the buyer with his caring, kind, professional and friendly personality. Thank you Derek and your team who are a real asset to Otaki Real Estate.

It’s been a pleasure to deal with this firm’s staff. For reasons unbeknown to me, two agents took on the task of marketing my house. Both Maureen Wallace and Tracey Savage worked on it. Now that it has sold I admit to missing their visits, regular, informative, and supportive. I have no hesitation in recommending this pair’s services, and I offer them both my heartfelt thanks.

From my first phone call, through to settlement, Tracey has been extraordinary in her manaaki (generosity) and support of our home purchase. She patiently walked us through the many aspects of the property, fielded every question we had, and worked in a manner that was both humble and empathetic. Tracey made this sale happen, upholding the mana both of us as purchasers, and the vendor himself, until we arrived at a mutually respectful agreement to purchase the house. Tracey went above and beyond, accommodating us at all hours to fit in with our own busy schedules. In working with her, we never felt like 'a number', but valued and respected - important to keep in mind given how alienating the property world can be (and often is) for whanau. She is, by far, the best realtor and guide we have ever worked with, whose style of working reassured us until the end. She is someone of great mana, who the Kelly & Co Otaki team is privileged to have on their waka. Nga mihi nui rawa, our heartfelt thanks to you Tracey!

Derek's accessibility was notable, always making himself available to promptly respond to our questions through texts and phone calls, providing genuine and thoughtful responses. His commitment to communication was a testament to his dedication to ensuring our peace of mind throughout the entire journey. Upon setting foot on the property, we instantly knew it was the one. The space perfectly met our requirements for a whānau papakāinga, offering a setting where our wider whānau could reside. Derek's understanding of our vision to build future homes, fostering a true papakāinga-like setting, demonstrated his keen insight into our unique needs. Derek went above and beyond for us, radiating authenticity and a sincere desire for our well-being. His commitment, along with that of his team, to support the housing aspirations of local families is a rare gem in today's market.

Selling our house with Derek and Te Ataahua was a breeze, the moment we met Derek we knew he was the right person for the job. Derek and Te Ataahua are very knowledgeable about Ōtaki real estate and ensured we were realistic in our expectations. Communication from the pair was second to none and we were always kept up to date with any developments. They are a great team and we would recommend them to anyone who is thinking of selling.
