By reputation, we expected excellent service and efforts on our behalf from Simon. What we didn’t expect was the added value that Cooper now brings to Spiller+Spiller and their clients. We’ve been in our home for almost 24 years, so to say that we went through the process of selling our home with a degree of anxiety would be an understatement. Added to that, there was a lot of decluttering required to get ready for photos and open homes. Spiller+Spiller were there every step along the way, putting us at ease, helping to show rooms to their best advantage during photos, and working with us to make sure the property looked its best when we got to the first open home. We’ve always believed that when you engage experts, you take their advice. Simon and Cooper made doing this very easy by clearly explaining why they were making their recommendations around the marketing investment to be made. As to the results - our highest hopes were exceeded! Spiller+Spiller ensured that enthusiastic buyers saw and appreciated our property and were motivated to own it themselves. We can’t thank them enough!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the fantastic job you did in selling our property at Muriwai. Ian and I appreciated your professionalism and timely communication throughout the whole process. You have exceptional knowledge of the West Auckland, Waimauku and Muriwai markets and this was evidenced by us achieving a sale price within the range that you had indicated. Selling a house can be stressful at the best of times, however, your approach and manner made the experience almost enjoyable. Thanks again, we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.

Simon has successfully marketed our property which resulted in a very quick sale. Simon went over and above expectations throughout. He initially alerted us to the advertisement for our new home, although it was not listed with Bayleys. Simon worked absolutely in our best interests on our sale, and managed to push up our sale price even higher than we expected to settle on. This was a positive and hassle-free experience for our family. We will certainly recommend Simon to our friends and family, and will be using him again ourselves when needed in the future.

Simon’s recommended marketing campaign identified and described the merits of our property and then put it in front of what he thought was our buyer market which attracted large numbers, approximately 90 in 4 weeks, of buyers to the open homes from all over Auckland. I had a pre-auction offer which Simon recommended I decline as he felt we could do better and to continue with the auction where he subsequently managed the competition between several buyers to obtain an excellent result well above the pre-auction offer. Simon said he wouldn’t leave any stone unturned finding buyers which in turn would result in a great price and that is exactly what he did.

Selling my piece of paradise at Muriwai was not an easy decision to make. Once the decision was made I knew that Simon would be the best man for the job. Having first met Simon when I purchased the property, we have kept in touch over the years and he has always been obliging in providing context of the current market and the likes. Simon knows the local northwest, including Muriwai, property market very well and clearly is passionate about it. Given I am living abroad Simon had to conduct all elements of the sale - marketing campaign, tenancy management, paperwork, open homes and the auction itself without any face-to-face contact with me. Despite this, his great communication and transparent approach ensured I was well informed at every step of the process. I was in good hands. Of course the end result is really what matters, and I was very pleased with how it came together. Simon secured a great result which was above my expectations for my sale and found fabulous new owners to now live in and love my little slice of paradise. I am thrilled.

Simon was professional and approachable. He marketed our property very well and achieved a great price in a moderate market. We also bought our new lifestyle property from Simon and this was a smooth process. Highly recommend Simon Spiller.

“Simon says” I say, and we all have a giggle. Simon has been in and out of our family lives for at least a decade and a half, guiding us through the tortuous paths of buying and selling property. Locally, he knows everybody and everybody knows him. If you've been in real estate for two decades that’s to be expected but we are a tight little community in Muriwai and Simon is an important part of it. I started out to set down something funny but as often happens with writing, it takes on a life of its own. So here is a list of bullet points as a guide to the Simon I know: He likes driving big powerful cars, He supports his community through the Gannet.. It’s not an advertising tool but a serious effort to inform and amuse us all, He loves Muriwai with a passion - as we all do who live here, Except for Saturday, which is family day, he is at our beck and call, I doubt there is much about real estate that he doesn't know, He loves his mum, As much as he can, he makes an effort to take the stress out of buying and selling, He loves and is very proud of his kids, He is hooked on gluten-free ginger nuts. Well, that’s the Simon I know - and he is well worth knowing!

When it came to making a decision about an agent for the sale of our rental property we had no hesitation in enlisting Simon Spiller, as we had already experienced his high standard of professionalism when we purchased our current home through him. We found Simon to be a real asset in the successful sale of our property. And, since it was our first time selling a property at auction, his extensive knowledge of the local property market combined with his honest and direct approach was invaluable. He kept us focused and well informed and made the entire process stress free. Simon confidently guided us in the positioning of the property to achieve a high level of interest from the most relevant potential buyers. Using his extensive local network, he went out of his way to ensure as many people viewed the property as possible, and that the auction was full of genuine buyers. We also undertook a marketing campaign he recommended and this created increased interest from appropriate buyers. His follow up after each open home with detailed feedback and comments - both positive and negative - and how many people came through the property and what type of potential buyers we had, was fantastic. We had several interested parties turn up to the auction. Simon and the Bayleys auctioneer were fantastic on the day. They kept us informed throughout the auction and we were extremely happy when the property sold to happy buyers over the reserve. Whether you’re selling your house, or buying one, we highly recommend Simon Spiller who will always obtain you the best sale price and give you the most honest and direct advice when buying.

We chose Simon Spiller as our real estate consultant over other local agents due to the following: Recommendations from others, His enthusiastic and confident approach to auctions, The quality of Bayleys’ marketing material and Simon’s upfront and realistic appraisal of the local property market. We could not have been happier with our choice, as Simon either met or exceeded our expectations throughout the entire marketing period. The quality of the photos and marketing material were very high, and we appreciated being consulted prior to promotional material being finalised. We felt the photos gave a positive, but accurate reflection of the property. The weekly feedback after each open home was extremely detailed and included both the positive and negative comments, which we felt were very important to be aware of. We were kept very informed throughout the period leading up to the auction and Simons PA was approachable and helpful. On the auction day, both Simon and our auctioneer were amazing and we were extremely pleased and relieved that the property sold at auction to happy buyers. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon Spiller to anyone considering selling a property in this area.
