Genuinely went above and beyond for our family

Genuinely went above and beyond for our family

Demetria was outstanding to deal with throughout the purchase of 23 Red Beech Avenue, even though she was representing the vendor. We raised a genuine concern partway through the process. Rather than brushing this off, Demetria took it seriously, personally looked into alternatives, and helped us find workable solutions. She was also proactive and responsive when we needed it, helping coordinate our request smoothly with the vendor at a time when timing was tight due to a public holiday. Throughout the whole process, Demetria was warm, communicative, and genuinely seemed to care about the outcome for our family, not just closing the deal. Highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the Wellington area.

A pleasure to deal with

It was a real pleasure working with Demetria. Her open, transparent and timely communications made the entire process smooth. She acted as an excellent mediator between the vendors and us, helping both parties reach an outcome that everyone was happy with. Additionally, her genuine care, calm nature and professionalism gave us confidence and reassurance whenever we faced challenges or changes along the way. We truly appreciate her support and guidance and of course, would highly recommend her.

Fantastic Agent who made our purchase so much easier.

Fantastic Agent who made our purchase so much easier.

Demetria was fantastic to work with. She regularly checked in to offer support and guidance. Because we were purchasing from out of town, she took the stress out of what could have been a daunting experience. Demetria went out of her way to pick us up and took us to view various homes she thought would suit our needs. Demetria was entirely professional whilst also being super friendly and supportive. We highly recommend her.

Demetria is awesome!!

Demetria recently helped us purchase a home and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was one of her strongest qualities. She was highly responsive, always quick to return calls, emails, and messages, and kept us informed throughout every stage of the process. We never felt we were left wondering what was happening or what the next steps would be. She helped us make informed decisions with confidence. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, organised, and trustworthy. She handled every detail efficiently and made what can often be a stressful experience feel much smoother and more manageable. We would highly recommend Demetria to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her responsiveness, expertise, and dedication to her clients truly sets her apart.
