Great sales experience

Once we had decided to market our property Leanne was excellent to deal with. From start to finish of the process she kept us fully informed every step of the way and if plan A didn't work there was always a back up. Nothing was too much trouble and Leanne went above and beyond to secure us the best possible price for our property. A pleasure to work with and well backed up by the rest of the Southerby's team.

Excellent Real estate agent, very highly recommend.

Excellent Real estate agent, very highly recommend.

Mike Hughes is a very good, thorough Real Estate agent. His extensive knowledge and experience of the housing market and area makes me feel very safe and comfortable to totally put my trust in him. Having sold us 2 houses now, I completely and honestly could not recommend an agent high enough. His great communication and attention to detail is testament to his success. Mike makes the whole process of buying a house simple, uncomplicated and a pleasurable experience.

Excellent Knowledge and Service

Mike provided a thorough written market comparison and appraisal prior to us making a decision to list our property. He clearly explained the selling options and marketing process with us and at no time did we feel pressured. His knowledge and communication was great and we were very happy with the sale outcome. We would be very happy to recommend Mike.

Reliable and dedicated to the end result.

Reliable and dedicated to the end result.

As any buyer in the current market will say it is a very competitive, difficult process negotiating against numerous others with prices at record levels. We were the successful buyers against numerous others all the while communicating with Mike on a daily basis as the deadline date approached. Mike was particularly fair and open with us indicating that all buyers are treated equally and given the multi offer situation Mike was at pains to ensure all offers were not presented through him, but rather the independence of the Office Manager. This gave us great confidence in Mike's trustworthiness and professionalism and experience. Mike remained in touch and kept us abreast of developments throughout what turned out to be a lengthy negotiation process, handling the expectations of the vendor with expertise, ultimately resulting in a successful contract for both parties. Of course we would have no hesitation in recommending Mike as trustworthy, straight up and dedicated to a good end result.

Kim's knowledge, passion and attention to detail makes her a great agent!

Kim conducts herself with the utmost professionalism and integrity. She has a large data base and excellent marketing skills. The Property Information Memorandum that she presented for our sale was very impressive with great attention to detail complimented by lovely photography. Kim communicated regularly with weekly updates during the sale period. We would definitely recommend Kim to anybody who is looking for an honest and reliable agent.

Outstanding service and result - from start to finish we were totally impressed

Outstanding service and result - from start to finish we were totally impressed

Penny and Sacha were our pick from the three agencies we took appraisals from and we were 100% happy with the decision to go with Sothebys. From the beginning they grasped our situation, timelines and understood the complications of arranging open homes and viewings around guests (we were selling a holiday home rental apartment). Everything was easy and communication was clear and consistent. They generated great excitement in the apartment even during Levels 2 and 3 of Covid restrictions, and the marketing was right on point. Finally, their advice of going to auction (with their selection of exactly the right auctioneer) was right on the mark. We were sad to sell a wonderful property but achieved a great result. Would definitely recommend Penny and Sacha to anyone looking at selling a property in Taupo.

Kim was a pleasure to deal with. Very good communication. Kim went the extra mile to provide FaceTime video tours of the property while we were trapped in the Auckland lockdown.
