Being our first move in 50years , John very helpful, patient, knowledgable and very experienced.

We have really apreciated the help & advice we received over the past 18 months or so from John Gavin. John was always available & happy to offer advice . It became obvious to us that he was very experienced. John was very patient with us and in no hurry as he was with us for about 18 months and we were on a very uncertain road.The experience was arduous but we felt we were in good hands. When getting a sale did not seem to be happening John made some changes to his approach. He even offered to stand aside & let us go through someone else. We declined that as we felt that John with his experiance was on the right path. We had a potential buyer who was hoping to sell his place first. Later John told us to let this guy go as he had another possibility, then suddenly a new cash buyer said he wanted to be in the place in 4 weeks. That made things a bit difficult but with Johns help we got through it all. He even corrected our agent's advice in Tauranga on what day to move out, this plan worked well as we were out of our place & into our new place all an the same day. As this was our first move in 50 years we totally relied on John for advice about when to contact our soliciter etc. We would highly recomend John to anyone who was buying or selling as we know they would be in vey safe experienced hands. Thankyou John, Len & Janet Daniell

Absolutely outstanding service in every respect

Absolutely outstanding service in every respect

Angela came highly recommended by a colleague, and she exceeded those recommendations in every possible way. I was overseas throughout the entire process, yet I never once felt concerned or out of the loop. Angela took complete ownership of everything, managing all details from start to finish with exceptional care and precision. She organised removals, coordinated all parties involved, and handled the final handover flawlessly, making the entire experience effortless for me. Her market knowledge is exceptional, her communication was consistently clear, proactive, and reassuring despite the time difference, and her professionalism was second to none. I had total confidence in her judgment and execution at every stage. Angela truly goes above and beyond what you would expect from an agent, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking absolute peace of mind and outstanding results.

John was wonderful to work with. We were based overseas and his communication was excellent. House sold in less than 3 weeks with multiple offers. Would recommend.

Service with a Smile

Service with a Smile

My wife and I live in Tauranga and we were looking for an investment house in Hamilton. We were so glad when we met Sam Ghanghas at one of the Open Homes! He took us under his wing showing homes, emailing, texting and phone calls. Nothing was a problem to him and his follow-up was fantastic! Sam's work ethic is outstanding, very professional and knowledgeable on the area. We are very happy with our home purchase. Sam played a big part in sealing the deal for us. Definitely will recommend Sam to our family and others, who are looking for their real estate purchase in the future.

We had a great experience working with Sam to buy our first home. He was always quick and helpful with his communications, keeping us updated throughout every step of the process. As first-time buyers, we really appreciated Sam’s practical advice and his help in navigating the different stages of the purchasing journey. We highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Intensive knowledge in the housing market and very professional

Sam got us out first home. We never thought we would be home owners this early but Sam made it happen. We told him in which area we are looking for the house, he made sure that the house has gas stove. He made our journey very smooth. Got us the best deal for the house we chose. He went out of his way to make sure all the boxes were ticked. I will highly recommend Sam for his hard work

Goes above and beyond

I’ve know John since he sold my mums place many years ago. So it was obvious who I needed to sell mine now. He went above what you expect with making sure everything was done and that we were up to date on everything that was happening. Thanks John for everything
