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.
