Marty Makes Selling in a Difficult Market Feel Easy.

Marty Makes Selling in a Difficult Market Feel Easy.

We had an excellent experience working with Marty. He is an absolute delight to work with. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the property market, highly competent in guiding the sales process, and remarkably skilled at matching the right buyers with the right properties. Even in a difficult market, Marty turned selling our property into a smooth, positive, and enjoyable experience, a true win for everyone involved. He was consistently reliable, readily available, and always quick to respond. His warm and motivating nature radiates positivity and integrity, making every step of the process feel easy and well managed. Marty communicates in a way that makes his clients feel genuinely seen and understood. He guides the process with kindness, professionalism, confidence, and care. We felt completely supported from the first conversation until the sale was complete. His negotiation skills are effortless and he meets individual communication needs with ease. We can recommend Marty wholeheartedly to anyone considering selling a property, particularly in a challenging market. What can easily be a stressful and distressing time, Marty somehow makes feel straightforward, reassuring, and even enjoyable.

Andrew was great to deal with, handled everything right down to the settlement. He always said he would get it sold which other agents hadn’t been able too. And he did. So great end result.

Experience and service paid off!

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
