Wonderful experience overall start to finish

We highly recommend Sharnika to anyone looking to buy or sell a home We recently worked with Sharnika to sell our home in New Zealand while living abroad, following a recommendation from a friend. She kept us well-informed throughout the process with timely updates, focusing on what we needed to know to manage everything from a distance. Sharnika was alway available for questions, responding quickly to our calls and texts, which provided peace of mind. Selling our home while living overseas felt daunting at first, but the entire process, from start to finish, turned out to be surprisingly very easy thanks to the support of Sharnika!

We have bought and sold with Liam a number of times now, and he continues to exceed our expectations. He is a true professional who consistently provides great advice and a seamless experience. In our most recent sale, Liam’s ability to work effectively with other agents ensured everything moved forward smoothly, resulting in a quick sale. His market knowledge and collaborative approach make him stand out from the rest. We highly recommend Liam to anyone looking for a reliable, results-driven agent.

Liam was great from start to finish, he was upfront and honest. He was able to sell our place without taking it to market, due to his great network of people. Would definitely recommend Liam and his team.

Trident High School runs a building programme - ATT (Allied Trades Training) which we renovate a house. This is the second year we have been running this programme. Sharnika approached the school as she was aware of the programme through media publications. Both myself and the principal - Mikaere October were pretty blown away by her offer of advertising the house for sale via The Northern Group, One Roof and Trade Me all free of charge! The amazing team from The Northern Group team visited and professional photos were taken. These were shared online where we had amazing numbers visit the sites. During this time Sharnika kept us informed about any potential buyers with great communication all the way along our journey, she was very professional and friendly to deal with. As the ATT programme is a school run project we really appreciated all the time and effort that Sharnika put in, we would like to acknowledge her community spirit as all her services were free of charge. I would highly recommend Sharnika and The Northern Group Real Estate, they are community minded and care about their clients. Sharnika sold the house to a local couple so we are pleased the ATT House is staying in Whakatane.

I had a very short timeframe to sell my property before moving on into the retirement village. Liam went above and beyond to make this happen. Knowing if it didn’t sell I would miss out on the opportunity to get the unit I wanted. Liam had multiple offers and had my house sold a week before Christmas. He’s so easy to work with and made the process simple, this is my second property he’s sold for me and I wouldn’t have another agent. Thank you Liam

Liam listened to what we had to say and interpreted our thoughts and requirements very well. He only showed the property to the 'right' people, so no time and effort was wasted on both sides. Finally his negotiating was professional and efficient concluding in a fair deal for both us and the purchasers. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.
