Experience and service paid off!

We listed our investment property in Birkdale with Chris Gemmel as we felt his long and successful career over many years would give us the best result possible. As we live out of Auckland we relied on Chris and Team to communicate with tenants, property manager,organise a building report and following that a builder and painter to do necessary remedial work. Chris and sales partner Dolly communicated well during the Open Home process with phone calls and professional reports. We were very happy with Chris’s negotiation skills and advice to us. We have no hesitation in recommending Chris and Dolly, they worked hard and achieved a good result Many Thanks to you both.

Stephen provided an excellent service insuring great communication at all times through the sale.

Since I last sold a property a lot has changed. Stephen kept us well informed of what needed to be done including staging the property, dealing with building report, LIM report items held by council etc. He completed numerous open homes even when the property was under conditional contract. He provided photo updates of some work that needed to be done. I found him to be very professional with a good understanding of the current market. He communicated consistently through the negotiation period insuring that we had a full understanding of where we were at with the sale. We have another property we will be selling in the future and will certainly be approaching Stephen to take on the next sale. Excellent

Exceptional Service with Genuine Care and Professionalism

Thank You and Review for Your Outstanding Support. Dear Marty, I hope you are doing well. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your hard work and dedication in helping us successfully sell our home. It was truly a wonderful experience working with you. From the very beginning, you showed great professionalism, responsibility, and genuine care. Your efforts, including hosting open homes on weekends and consistently going the extra mile, made a significant difference in achieving such a successful outcome. We were especially touched by your warm personality, your constant smile, and your ability to understand our feelings throughout the process. You made us feel comfortable, supported, and confident every step of the way. We sincerely appreciate everything you have done for us.

    Exceptional Service Beyond Settlement

Exceptional Service Beyond Settlement

Working with Marty was such a positive experience from beginning to end. From our very first meeting, he was warm, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the process with patience and genuine care. Buying a home can feel overwhelming at times, but Marty had a calm and reassuring way of making everything feel manageable. What stood out most was his willingness to go above and beyond, even after the sale was complete. When we encountered an unexpected issue after settlement, Marty stepped in promptly and helped sort everything out with professionalism and kindness. That level of support and integrity speaks volumes about the kind of person and agent he is. A home is more than just bricks and mortar, it’s the beginning of a new chapter, and we’re truly grateful to have had Marty helping us along the way. We would happily recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who is not only skilled and informative, but also genuinely cares about his clients.

Great Agent

As a first time buyer I found Stephen to be very helpful, as if he was on my side. He explained the process to me and made sure I understood the complex cross-lease details and extended posession timeframe. I would go back to Stephen for any future needs.
