Exceptional Estate Agent Goes Above and Beyond in Delivering Great Result in Tough Market!
over 3 years ago
Exceptional Estate Agent Goes Above and Beyond in Delivering Great Result in Tough Market!

We had the pleasure of working with Marilyn as our estate agent and we can confidently say that she is an exceptional agent. Marilyn was incredibly responsive to our needs throughout the entire process, making this stressful experience easier to manage. Her attention to detail was outstanding, and she worked tirelessly to ensure that our property was marketed in the best possible way, especially in a tough market to sell in. Her hard work paid off, as our property sold quicker than expected and at a price we accepted. We would highly recommend Marilyn to anyone who is looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and trustworthy estate agent. She is truly one of the best in the business, and we are grateful for all her hard work and dedication.

Superior Communication, realistic and focused

Superior Communication, realistic and focused

We vetted a few agents before deciding who to use as our agent to sell. Penelope won the vetting process, and I'm very pleased she did. To start with, we didn't know which method of sale would be best. Penelope provided an excellent explanation as to why she recommended a particular method (auction in this case) and compared it with other methods as part of the explanation. Her experience in the market was clear from how she explained this to us. As it turns out, we achieved a result beyond all expectations by using the method that Penelope recommended, and in a short period of time. I found all aspects of the engagement to be excellent. Communication in particular was outstanding. Although Penelope had several other listings at the time, we would never have known it because she was so flexible with meeting times, both for meetings with us and with potential purchasers. We were kept well informed with market indicators i.e. recent sales of comparable properties, what other comparable properties are currently on the market e.t.c. When it came time to choose the reserve, I felt that we were well informed. The auction itself was another time that Penelope impressed. During negotiations, she provided reassurance and suggestions, which ultimately resulted in a much higher sale value than we initially thought was achievable. Penelope maintained a high level of professionalism throughout and was always immaculate with her personal presentation. Whilst being highly professional, she was always very friendly and easy to talk to. A pleasure to deal with.

marilyn is absolutely wonderful to work with.

Marilyn HongMa was the agent for 20 Routhmore St. Marilyn was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, she really cared about us, understood our needs from the very first open house even giving us ideas on how better utilise the space. She responded fast all the time and always follow up all our questions. After dealing with several other brokers in the Auckland area and being disappointed, we felt lucky to find Marilyn.

Marilyn has been on this sale for the long haul, we purchased off plans for a December 2020 completion, for a variety of reasons we decided to sell a year ago as the property had not been completed and didn't look like finishing until late 2021. We sold and Marilyn kept the buyer onboard with numerous extensions. It finally went unconditional July 2022; 2 years late. We were thrilled with the attention to detail, follow up, communication and assistance Marilyn provided throughout the process. We absolutely recommend Marilyn to you.
