Excellent service, realistic expectations, great result!

Excellent service, realistic expectations, great result!

Placing a family home of 50 years on the market was challenging for our family. Te Ataahua provided clear communication and extensive knowledge of the market. She talked us through the process, expectations for the sale, and the issues relating to a lack of market history for the house, and current market environments. After setting realistic goals for the sale that met all parties needs, the advertising, marketing and communication was excellent, with the result being an offer (that ultimately became a sale) within 10 days of listing. Amazing outcome, thanks to Ta Ataahua!

A Heartfelt Thank You to Derek and Maureen

A Heartfelt Thank You to Derek and Maureen

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Derek to both purchase and later sell our beloved holiday home. When we first bought the property, Derek was there every step of the way—his enthusiasm was infectious, and he went above and beyond to help us secure our dream holiday getaway. He made us feel completely safe and supported throughout the process, and his genuine excitement for us made it clear we were in the very best hands. There was never any question we would call on him again when the time came to sell. Living out of the district, we were so grateful for Maureen’s exceptional support and communication. She was incredibly efficient in organizing and managing open homes and always kept us updated with thoughtful detail. Her attention to detail and dedication made the entire selling process so much smoother for us. Selling this home was a tough and emotional decision, but having Derek and Maureen by our side brought us real peace of mind. They truly did their utmost for us, and we are so thankful for the care, professionalism, and heart they brought to the experience. Thank you both, from Pete & Debbie Smith

When first meeting with Derek and Tracey I immediately felt at ease and was comfortable talking about my wishes for the sale process. They listened and guided me through what they thought was the best and most effective way of marketing my property. Also they eased my concerns about having open days. Their knowledge of the local market especially lifestyle blocks was a major factor in me selecting them. The fact that we received a firm offer within four days of the property being listed was totally amazing . They were very supportive throughout the whole process and particularly with discussions to meet the conditions of the offer. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Derek and Tracey to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in this area.

We recently sold our parents home and were very pleased with how the process was handled. From the first meeting with Maureen and Tracey, to the final settlement, everything was clear, efficient and well managed. They were both professional, communicative, and had a strong understanding of the local market. We would confidently recommend them to others. Thank you again Maureen and Tracey.

Professional, personable and a pleasure to work with - highly recommended!

Professional, personable and a pleasure to work with - highly recommended!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Derek to sell our property, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the outset, he was professional, kind, and down to earth, making the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. He offered a thoughtful and strategic sales approach, giving us a range of options and tailoring the plan to suit our goals. He had a great eye for what made our property special and highlighted those features to make it stand out to buyers. His follow-up with potential buyers was thorough, and we really felt he went the extra mile to generate interest and maintain momentum. What truly set him apart was his clear, prompt communication - and his sense of humour! He patiently answered our (many!) questions, often with a dash of humour that helped ease any stress and kept us smiling through the process. Reliable, personable and incredibly knowledgeable, we highly recommend Derek to anyone selling their home. You'll be in great hands.
