Marilyn HongMa is the most trustworthy and outstanding real estate agent I have ever met.

In New Zealand, I have purchased houses three times, sold houses twice, and rented houses and shops several times. I have met several real estate agents. No matter in every aspect, Marilyn HongMa is the best among them, bar none. Marilyn HongMa's service attitude has always been positive, she is always full of energy and enthusiasm, and she is always infecting the people around her. Moreover, Marilyn HongMa is also particularly outstanding in time management. She always controls every progress node accurately and never makes me worry about these problems. In short, Marilyn HongMa has excellent performance in all aspects. Due to the limited number of words, I will not go into details here. I will actively work hard to recommend Marilyn HongMa to my friends as their real estate agent. This is my promise, and This is already done. Moreover, my friends also had the same positive feedback as me.

Penelope was really pleasant to deal with, Communication was on point and no disingenuous vibe from her at all. We’ve dealt with several agents over the last few years and Penelope by far the best we have experienced.

Best service I have ever experienced. Very Highly recommended & a delight to deal with!

When I first approached Penelope she was out of Auckland on holiday. I explained what I was trying to achieve and the next day she sent one of her team members to my place for a face to face chat and signing some work. By that evening I was on a chat group getting regular updates. All of this while she wasn't even at work in the State. The communication I received was top notch. Penelope delivered on all of her promises at each stage and was extremely patient every time I changed the plan on her. Penelope managed to sell my house within the price range I wanted and more importantly the time period with minimum fuss. She has a great database of buyers and managed to get me offers within the first week itself. During settlement I needed an early release of the deposit which Penelope facilitated for me. Quite honestly it was like having a $2000/hr lawyer in my corner. I would very highly recommend Penelope to any one selling or buying. Thank you Penelope for a great experience.

Exceptional Real Estate Agent

Exceptional Real Estate Agent

Penelope Franca is an exceptional real estate agent! We had lived in our property for 38 years and were a little apprehensive around the specifics of selling, however Penelope, with her knowledge of the East Auckland market (and particularly Pakuranga) was able to guide us through selling our property with ease. Her professionalism, great communication and marketing expertise ensured that we were kept fully informed each step of the way and we were delighted to receive a top result at auction. Penelope impressed us so much that she is now selling one of our relative's property too.

Excellent! Always knowledgeable, punctual, professional and honest. A compassionate team player.

Penelope was strongly recommended, by word of mouth, to be my agent and guide. She has proved herself AGAIN! Not many people can boast the full package! Penelope has it all - Sound all round knowledge of the market and Council rules and regulation. Selling a much-loved home is not easy for a vendor. Penelope’s honest and caring manner brought needed comfort throughout the process. Thank you Penelope for your positive attitude.

Outstanding First-Time Homebuyer Experience with Penelope

I had the pleasure of working with Penelope, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was quite nervous about the whole process, but Penelope's expertise and approachable nature put me at ease from day one. One of Penelope's standout qualities is her open and transparent communication. She kept me informed every step of the way, promptly answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had. Her guidance and advice were invaluable, helping me make informed decisions throughout the buying process. I recommend Penelope to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent. Her professionalism, communication skills, and genuine concern for her clients make her a top choice in the industry. Thank you, Penelope, for making my first home buying experience a smooth and memorable one!

A Stellar Home Selling Experience

A Stellar Home Selling Experience

Selling a home can be a daunting task, but with Marilyn by our side, the process was nothing short of exceptional. Marilyn's professionalism, expertise, and dedication made all the difference, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. From our very first meeting, Marilyn's knowledge of the real estate market was evident. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire selling process, ensuring we were well-informed and confident in our decisions. Her keen understanding of market trends, pricing strategies, and effective marketing techniques set our minds at ease. Marilyn's attention to detail was remarkable. She went above and beyond to stage our home for optimal presentation, making it look stunning for potential buyers. Her expert eye for highlighting the property's strengths and making necessary improvements was invaluable.
