Richard is a great communicator, doesn’t beat around the bush, knows the market well and does a great job at taking a property to market. Richard’s team went the extra mile to help out with getting the property ready for market including the likes of staging furniture coordination. They are our go to agents in Hamilton.

We recently sold our investment property with Richard Hartles from Lugtons and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The property was vacant, and while we had staged it and done everything we could to present it well, we were selling in what felt like a fairly average market. Having Richard alongside us made a real difference. He provided sound advice from the beginning, put together a clear and effective plan, and guided us through the process with confidence and professionalism. What stood out most was Richard's communication. He kept us well informed every step of the way, provided timely feedback, and was always available to answer questions and offer guidance. We genuinely felt that he was invested in achieving the best possible outcome for us. Selling an investment property can be challenging, but Richard made the process straightforward and stress-free. We really valued his expertise, honesty, and partnership, and would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking to sell their property.

I first met Richie five years ago when he visited my home to complete an appraisal and discuss my options. I was very impressed by the professionalism, friendly manner and honesty shown. I felt comfortable and did not feel pressured. This made my decision that when I was ready to sell my home, Richie and the team would be my first choice. Five years later, I listed my home with Richie, Hugo and their team. From start to finish the process was seamless. Their communication, attention to detail and well-executed marketing campaign gave me complete confidence and resulted in a successful sale of my home. I would not hesitate to recommend Richie, Hugo and their team to anyone looking to sell their home. They truly delivered on both service and results.

Anya's whole approach to securing a very successful sale of my was "calming". It is a stressful process selling a house especially with a limited time frame. However with Anya's knowledge, organisational and communication skills, everything flowed like clockwork.

I met Anya at one of her open homes in late 2023. We put my house on the market btwn Feb-May 2024. It attracted some interest, but the market was still precarious and uncertain post-Covid and the beginning of what would be a 2-year cost of living crisis. The challenge for Anya was that while I wanted to sell, until I found the right house to buy, I didn't want my house marketed too aggressively in case it sold to soon and I was left with nowhere to live while still searching for a new home. We kept the signs up while I kept looking, with Anya bringing the odd person through too, until early 2025. It wasn't until Oct 2025 that we marketed the house actively again. This time, I had finally found and secured an offer on a new home in Te Kauwhata (a new build), so we were able to throw my place onto the market right away. We hit a sweet spot, with 14 groups through at the first open home. This yielded a chain-free buyer with the right offer. My place effectively sold within a week of being re-listed, because Anya finally had my permission to unleash all of her skills. I would like to thank Anya unreservedly, for her professionalism, her tenacity, and her support throughout what turned out to be a very long game. As a single woman out of a 30-year marriage, I was so wary of going through this significant process for the first time on my own. Anya was by my side to literally hold my hand through what was a very stressful 2-year period. She never showed any frustration at my ambivalence at times, just quietly and patiently stuck with me and guided me through. She has the empathy and maturity to understand her clients' situations. Her expertise helped me to turn around a challenging scenario without being pressured, which made all the difference to me and my future. Thank you Anya for your expertise both in playing the long game - and going hard once given the green light - with spectacular results! Kaye
