As we are not based in Twizel, Jess kept us informed with the progress of the sale of our section throughout the process. She gave great, helpful advice and was always available for us to call her sometimes it had to be in the evening.

Soffe answered the phone promptly, fielded a myriad of questions, answered our questions comprehensively and read our reactions to her information accurately. Additionally, Soffe also met us at short notice whenever we asked.

Being local I feel makes a big difference. I have had a long and happy association with Karan and knew that she would be the person to sell my property. Her assistant, Soffe, is an asset to the business.

Excellent experience with great promotion of our property for sale and an outstanding outcome

From the first appraisal by Karan to the sale of our house, the experience was excellent. We were kept informed at all times, the electronic updates of open homes and viewings were extremely helpful. We were also well looked after in Karan's absence by Jess and Soffe. The team were all a pleasure to deal with. The whole sales process was made so easy for us. Both the sales result and the level of service we received exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Karan and the Team.
