Yas was very professional even though she knew us for many years. Happy to recommend any one buying/selling. The auction process could have been better but thats not on her.

Professional throughout the process. Well done Penelope

Penelope is a thoroughly competent agent. She has an electric personality, friendly, competent and knowledgeable. She exudes enthusiasm. During the process she provided excellent weekly feedback on how the market was going and what potential buyer’s thoughts were. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would strongly recommend her to others.

An experience of first home buyer going like a dream.

An experience of first home buyer going like a dream.

Marilyn HongMa has been our agent all along the purchase process of our first home. Honestly, we faced few real estate agent before Marilyn, and I can tell you that regarding our previous experiences we were not expecting someone with this level of professionalism. The level of stress you reach at some different stages during the process can be really high. I think that we have been by sometime exigent as per you could imagine when you are dealing a project of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And the best thing is to have trust in the person you work with. And If you wish to be able to trust your agent from A to Z, and we are not exaggerating by telling this. Then Marilyn is the person you need. Marilyn will always respond to you, to all your requests and questions, she will track, search, and get what you are asking her. She makes you feel safe in all the aspects, because she will be always there to help, answer and guide you all the way through. We are really thankful towards Marilyn and her high level of professionalism. I don’t think you will find better than Marilyn. Thanks a lot. Big big thank you for your hard work.

The Best Decision We Made: Choosing Penelope as our Agent

The Best Decision We Made: Choosing Penelope as our Agent

Selling our home was no easy feat—it presented significant challenges that required a skilled and determined professional. From day one, Penelope brought optimism and expertise, turning what initially felt overwhelming into a well-organized and manageable process. The sale came with unique challenges due to the level of work required, but she approached it with determination, using her knowledge to find a way forward (even when the situation was new to her!). Beyond her strategic approach and deep industry insight, what truly set her apart was her relentless work ethic. She was fully committed to making this sale happen, constantly putting in the effort to ensure every detail was handled with care. No matter how demanding things became, she maintained clear and consistent communication, ensuring we were always informed and supported. She made sure we never kept our concerns to ourselves, fostering open dialogue and ensuring we both stayed fully across every development. Looking back, the one decision we absolutely got right in this journey was choosing her as our agent. Her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering positivity made all the difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her hard work. If you're looking for an agent who will lead with expertise and support you every step of the way, you're in good hands with Penelope!

Going the Extra Mile!

Going the Extra Mile!

Marilyn was amazing to work with. We met her when we enquired about a different property, she was the listing agent for. She mentioned that she can help us to view other properties as well as we were living more than an hour away and wanted to make the most of our day. She organised a couple of viewings for us until we found the property we loved and purchased. Marilyn's communication was excellent and working for us to get the purchase done. We would highly recommend Marilyn as an agent that can be trusted to work with!

Thank you to Marylin and Ally for helping me find my first home. I found their approach very professional and were great to work with. Any questions or concerns I had were answered promptly and that was very much appreciated. Would recommend both Marylin and Ally to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you again :)

Absolutely amazing!

Absolutely amazing!

Penelope was an absolute pleasure to deal with from appraisal, throughout the campaign, auction and settlement. Her friendly, welcoming and warm nature was a joy to be around and the exact type of person you want welcoming potential buyers into your property. Penelope has extensive knowledge regarding the East Auckland area and loves what she does – this is evident through her positive energy and the results she achieves! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone selling and would have her sell my property again.

Hard working agent!

We have 4 high-end townhouses to sell, and Marilyn has worked hard to get our first sale over the line, at a very good price (given the market). We are looking forward to seeing the sale of the rest of the houses.

Above and Beyond - incredible agent!

Penelope worked SO hard for us and nothing was a problem. She went above and beyond what I would expect of a real estate agent and worked so hard for us. She was patient, efficient and so helpful as well as great at communicating and following up with potential buyers. We felt supported every step of the way through selling our house. We would definitely recommend Penelope Franca.
