Nicole was energetic about securing a sale and kept me informed by emails, WhatsApp and personal chats. At all times she was personable and professional. Her humour helped to relieve the stress and after the open homes you could never tell she had been in the house. Nicole made this experience as smooth as it could be. I thoroughly recommend her.

Alwyn and I first met up with Katie and Sharon From Ray White Real Estate in Orewa after I gave them a call to come to our home and give us an appraisal of our home here at Stanmore Bay. We hadn't sold a property for 14 years and things have certainly changed .. We chose the auction process for us as the market was changing all the time. There first reaction was " whats up with those kitchen green walls . We had renovated the rest of our home and then run out of steam. We renovated our kitchen, painted walls to match the dinning room. Took off the cupboards doors painted, new door handles to match the rest of our home new appliances, and WOW it did the trick. when the girls came back they where amazed and told us so. Declutter your home and you stage it, like you want it to look. One piece of advise is listen to Sharon and Katie. There local knowledge and how things worked was explained to us in detail Sharon and Katie kept us up to date of interested parties. Due to there work we had an amazing amount of interest in the property. We had a pre auction offer which exceeded expectation, auction was brought forward and a very active auction followed. Sharon and Katie where so happy for us, but they had worked so hard to achieve our goal, and theres as well. Thank you both so much for your advise and knowledge you shared with us the seller and the buyers. We would highly recommend them to family and friends. Sue & Alwyn Blackley. Stanmore Bay.

Adam sold the property off market - he approached me. as they had sold another house in the area and had interested buyers. In doing so, I didnt have to stage the property or go through the time involved in open homes and I sold the house a lot earlier than I had planned, but the buyer was genuine and so we sold off market. Adam was always very courteous in making sure viewings were working around us and gave us as much time and communication as possible for viewings. He has been helpful post sale which has also been appreciated.

Lilia has been fantastic right from the get go. We knew the property market was really uncertain when we put the house for sale, but she used her expertise and negotiation skills to help us navigate this environment. We finally got an nice offer and she helped us to sell our house. We were selling our NZ house from overseas, so Lilia was always available to have a chat via what's up. She also accommodated the process to make it successful in the end for us and the purchaser. We are deeply thankful to her and I 110% recommend her to be your real state agent! Thanks

First home for me and my partner, Lilia made it an extremely easy process and was always very easy to get hold of if we had any question.

Kylie is an exceptionally warm and genuine person, who we first met more than 2 years ago at an open home in our local area. We were very impressed with her at the time and once we decided to sell our house, she demonstrated outstanding professionalism, market knowledge and negotiation skills in achieving a cash unconditional sale for us in a difficult market. She is easy to talk to and provided reassurance and confidence that with realistic pricing and the right marketing strategy, our house would sell within a reasonable timeframe. Kylie's analysis of the market was thorough and relevant, and she has an excellent knowledge of properties in her patch. She and her colleague Jaxon make a great team, each having different skills and perspectives. She has worked very hard on our behalf and was always available to discuss our questions and concerns. Her management of the process involved in selling our house exceeded our expectations and has enabled us to begin the next chapter of our lives. She is very highly recommended.

Zena was always available and quick to respond to all our questions and requests. She was knowledgeable and informative and always kept us updated with buyers feedback.

We had a fantastic experience dealing with Zena throughout the process of purchasing our home. She was so lovely and personable, and we always felt she took a genuine interest in us. Communication was excellent and she kept us informed throughout the entire process. There was quite a bit of back and forth during negotiations, but she handled everything professionally and was always approachable, helpful and responsive. We really appreciated her time, effort and genuine care throughout the process. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

Nico was easy to work with throughout the sale of our property. She was patient, offered honest and practical advice, and did her best to get the deal across the line. We appreciate her hard work and would happily recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property.

When Nicole says trust the process, you must trust the process!! Our journey from a sellers perspective, initially felt like a bit of a mountain to climb. At no point did Nicole share in our worries, instead she was confident in the most steady, grounded way. It felt almost decided from the get-go that somehow our house would be sold easily, even though the market was flat. We were able to hand over our concerns and let Nicole breeze through the answers. Best of all. Our house was set for a deadline sale in a flat market. Nicole, with her laser focus, drew dozens of potential buyers and got us to a multi-offer situation on the date of the deadline. We were able to negotiate that evening and fast forward a week, we went unconditional with zero hiccups. Not one! Life is hectic and selling a house often comes with a lot of stress. If you want to go through the process and have someone that just ‘gets it done’, Nicole is your person. So much gratitude to you and also to Brooke Kennedy who was always there as support. Do not hesitate in your decision, Nicole will look after you from start to finish. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us.

Nicole was exceptional throughout this whole sale process. I use the term Exceptional and Outstanding not lightly. Nothing at all was an issue for Nicole. We had regular updates, our advertising was always refreshed, Nicole attended all the open homes, even putting extra open homes on. Nicole was relentless when a prospective buyer came through and it was as a result of this we got our sale. We are in a tough market and as the saying goes, "When the going get's tough the tough get going" It was evident Nicole worked through creative ways to advertise and sell our property. Imagine her ability in a good market. We spend a lot of time overseas and Nicole even arranged to have the power put on in her own name. What agents will do that. Nicole arranged the staging with discounts, extra time for staging at no cost and did a whole lot of extras for us which we greatly appreciated. I have several properties and when the time comes the decision will be very easy as to who I will choose to sell them. Can't thank you enough Nicole.

Sharon, Kirk and the team are super professional, excellent communicators with great market knowledge. They came in with a plan to sell the house and executed it flawlessly. Got us a good price in a struggling market, and wasted no time in getting it done. Highly recommend this team to sell your house!
