Smooth and Simple Selling Experience

Smooth and Simple Selling Experience

We’ve had a really positive experience working with Liam throughout the entire process. From the beginning, he was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market for our property. Liam was especially accommodating of our family’s needs, working around shift work and the commitments that come with having young children. He was always attentive, his communication was on point, and no question was ever too much to ask. The photos taken of our property really showcased it beautifully, and we’ve been so happy with how everything was presented, including the video and drone footage. As vendors, we also found the whole system incredibly easy to use — being able to manage everything from our mobile phones made the process simple, efficient, and easy to follow. The regular reports kept us well informed, which we really appreciated.

Working with Liam was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer any questions and provide guidance whenever I needed it. I felt completely confident in his expertise and trusted him fully throughout the entire process. His professionalism, knowledge of the market, and genuine care made what would normally be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. I’ve already recommended him to friends because I know anyone working with him will be in great hands.

Mikaela is a friendly, helpful communicator.

We viewed a property with Mikaela but it had just gone to contract. She listened to what we wanted and told us of another property coming to market soon. She arranged for us to see and we bought it. She listened and acted positively.

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.

Great Service

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.

Community Minded - Excellent

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.
