The vendor was actually the Public Trust as administrators of my brother's estate, but I was heavily involved with Ilse in the process. I believe Ilse achieved the best possible outcome for the sale due to: Market knowledge, particularly of the Hauraki area. (She had a better handle on the market than anyone else dealt with.) Buyer contacts.(Very important). Hard work in promoting the property during the selling process. Ilse is a very pleasant person to deal which makes the whole process so much easier

Provided us with useful advice on getting our home ready for sale.

A wonderful Professional Lady. Leaves no stone un -turned and ensures you understand all steps in the process of selling your property. Trust her to get the best results for you. We were very lucky to have Ilse go into bat for us. Very hard working and dedicated to her customers. Everything on time. Everything taken care of. Excellent communicator. A great experience for us.

Ilse was always going to be the person we wanted to sell our house when the time came. She truly is the Hauraki real estate specialist with her extensive local knowledge and understanding of a very changeable market. We found her to be attentive, focused, positive and realistic, not to mention committed.Nothing was too much trouble and she was always at the end of the phone with any queries we had. As promised, our house sold on the day of auction at a price we were happy with. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ilse to sell your house, and we also would be happy to buy a house marketed by Ilse because we know there will have been a thorough assessment of the property made by her.

I found Ilse to be professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the local Hauraki area. In particular, Ilse’s attention to detail stood out from my experience with other real estate agents. She made sure every detail of my campaign was perfect. From tweaking the staging positioning through to the photo shoot and photo choices. Right through the process she communicated well with me ensuring I was in the loop at all times, nothing was too much trouble for her, at any stage of the process. The campaign turned out to be smooth and flawless. Ilse, I would definitely recommend you to anyone selling in the Hauraki area. You exceeded my expectations in all areas!

"Very proactive to achieve a good result for both parties."

When our family decided to sell our mother's home in Hauraki, there was simply no other agent we wanted. Ilse has a well-deserved reputation for professionalism, integrity, hard work, and results. Her knowledge and advice proved invaluable and an extraordinary result was achieved on schedule. Ilse's communication throughout the process was beyond compare and I can only describe Ilse, Andrew and the management at Harcourts Takapuna as the "Auction Dreamteam"!

Ilse took us under her wing and coached us through the process of getting our property to market, presented to promote its best features and create all-important positive first impressions for all interested prospective buyers. The sales preparation tips were practical and very useful and the marketing effort was comprehensive with all details efficiently taken care of in a timely fashion, as scheduled. Ilse's communications were constant and thorough. We couldn't have asked to be "kept in the loop" any better. The benefit of having the Harcourts network of professionals and their comprehensive marketing and administration machine powering along in the background ensured that awareness of our property was promoted across the North Shore and beyond, and ultimately, that we had several bidders registered on auction day. This house has been our home for almost two decades and Ilse's reassurance, understanding and guidance made the process of selling, a lot less taxing than it might otherwise have been. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ilse and her team to any Hauraki resident wanting to sell their property. You will be in very professional, caring hands.

"My husband and I were looking for our first home recently after the birth of our baby girl. One beautiful Saturday afternoon we arrived at a home and got a great vibe straight away - from both the home itself and from Rachael and Rozina. Their friendly and welcoming smiles and genuine interest in what we were looking for made everything feel so easy and natural. The communication was regular and efficient and we cannot fault their professionalism. Buying a home is a big deal, especially the first one. I am so glad we meet Rachael and Rozina they made the experience a truly special one."

Ilse was great at giving advice. Her marketing put us in a great position for a quick sale which exceeded our expectation.

I asked for one thing beyond anything else when I approached Ilse about listing my Takapuna apartment - communication! She delivered perfectly. I was kept in the loop every step of the way. When she said she would arrange things - she did. But best of all she had the power of all the contacts of Harcourts behind her so that she had our house sold on the same day we had the photos taken. Can't ask for better than that. A textbook example of how to sell a house well. Thanks Ilse and her team.
