According to Karl Polanyi Western society went through a great transformation in the middle of the 19th century when its economy was disembedded or divorced from the social. This divorce encouraged people (and companies) to become greedy; exploiting the environment and neighbours for profit. Polanyi, writing in the 1940s, foresaw that this would lead to the majority being dislocated through vice, crime and starvation; and our environment turned into a wilderness. Part of the solution to our ecological woes is to return our economy to the social. Economic transactions must take a similar form (or ethic) to transactions done with your family. When I looked around Hamilton for an agent to sell my house I found that Tracey and Warren came closest to embracing this ethic. Although they have not written a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy yet, and I hope they do so in the near future, there were features I saw in my dealings with them that I look for in a CSR policy. For example, I am retired and wanting to move to Lower Hutt to be nearer family, and need a certain amount to buy a property there. I have no substantial savings. Warren and Tracey were quick to recognise my situation and negotiated a reduced fee; and I in turn was able to accept a reduction in market value (compared to the Govt Valuation) in order to facilitate a speedy sale. From that reduced fee they were still able to buy me some choice wines as a farewell gift. I look forward to seeing CSRs that return excess profits to customers.

Overall it was a very positive experience with Tracey. She was easy to talk to and she was always positive and motivated. Tracey was always available and no question was ever any trouble. I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future.

Tracey is always willing to help in anyway she can, answer any questions we had and was always through with her communication. She is very understanding and helpful and made the process even from Australia a breeze. So thank you Tracey, can’t recommend you enough (:

We cannot rate Tracey and the team highly enough. Their up to date knowledge of local and national trends was instrumental in achieving the best possible outcome in a tricky market. Tracey's motivated approach and proactive marketing meant we were able to find the right buyer. Buying and selling a house can be stressful and Tracey was warm and approachable, and generous with her time and advice. Communication from Warren, Tracey and Brooke was slick.

It is very emotive experience to put our mothers 15-year sojourn on the market and we needed to trust greatly whoever was going to help us thru this journey. Adding to the challenge was very difficult market conditions! We already knew Tracy professionally and were aware of her longstanding good reputation as an agent However, we are hugely thankful for her perseverance, reassurance and comfort along this drawn-out process! Her positivity and understanding of the uniquity of Mums property and the assistance in helping to stage the house for sale was invaluable. It would be fair to say we consider her a friend!

Tracey was very helpful and very relatable. Easy to work with answered all our questions. Made the process very smooth and enjoyable

Whilst we delayed selling the property, Tracey kept us informed of issues in the Hamilton area that could affect the target market. The large section was prime for development, but with the weather events, Tracey kept us up-to-date with council conditions affecting potential developers. Once appointed to sell the property, Tracey kept us informed, particularly appreciated as we live out of Hamilton. Tracey and the Eve's Team made it clear to us, both pre and on the day of the auction the process they will follow leading to a final Sale Price that exceeded what we expected given the market conditions at the time. Overall, Tracey helped make this a stress free process, that we greatly appreciate.

I felt seen and valued with Tracey. She was very empathetic to our extenuating circumstances, providing support throughout the entire campaign and after. She communicated very well with us too. Always a quick reply and with information that was helpful. Always on hand and available if needed. She also gave me a reality check every now and then, which I appreciated. She worked very hard to get us a sale in a timely manner, and through this whole process I was very impressed with her and her entire team.

Tracey is very friendly, a good listener, and easy to communicate with. She has up-to-date knowledge of the real estate market and has given us strong guidance for my first home purchase.

Tracey, Warren and team are fantastic. Professional, friendly & engaging. Worked in partnership with us as vendors, open communication, and collaborative in their approach. Highly Recommend. We’ve used their services in both purchase & as vendor, and focussed on our needs on both occasions.

We were introduced to Tracey as she had quickly sold our neighbors home, and another friend and builder had recommended her and Warren as our house was full of "challenges". However, these challenges did not faze Tracey in the slightest and her confidence, and the hard work and support of her team, paid off with a successful sale - and to a family who we know will really enjoy our house which is important to us. Working closely with Tracey and Warren was a very enjoyable experience for us and I think we have all become good friends!

We recent purchased our first home - settlement today actually - we are beyond stoked with the work Warren put in for us. Absolute gem of a human and great agent. We appreciate your work. Though we didn't get to meet Tracey, we know she was working hard behind the scenes to help everything run smoothly. FORMIDABLE team right here. Thank you
