They worked seamlessly

They worked seamlessly

We recently engaged The Cleaves to sell our family home of 40+years, an old house on an exceptional piece of land. It was a tough proposition in the current market and we looked to Myles and Peter for their guidance on the best sale method, settling on an auction. With one of us based in the UK and the other in NZ, they worked seamlessly to accommodate our time zones and remained highly communicative throughout. We were well prepped for the auction day and the process delivered.

13 years ago we bought our Kohimarama home through Peter Cleave and chose The Cleaves to sell it recently. They were professional and made the whole process easy. Their knowledge of the local market and clear communication delivered a great result. We highly recommend them.

They truly go above and beyond.

I had an outstanding experience working with The Cleaves. From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and genuinely committed to getting the best result. Their communication was excellent - they kept me updated at every stage and always took the time to explain things clearly. What really impressed me was their attention to detail and how smoothly they managed the entire process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their knowledge of the market was spot on. Thanks to their hard work, everything felt effortless and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend The Cleaves to anyone looking to buy or sell. They truly go above and beyond.

Highest level of professionalism

We recently engaged with The Cleave's to sell our family home, and can absolutely attest to the highest level of professionalism and outcome for the successful sale of our property. We considered multiple agents, including ‘local’ agents however The Cleave’s were by far the most professional throughout the entire process and delivered results that aligned with their initial appraisal. Throughout the sale process, communication was clear, open homes very well run leaving us with the highest of impressions of The Cleave’s. We would only consider their services in future should we look to list again.

Absolute Standouts! The Cleaves - Peter, Lisa, and Myles are true professionals

With the superb support and efficient service provided by Peter, Lisa and Myles, we have recently purchased a permanent home and sold our holiday home (both in Kohimarama). During the process, we were based in Tauranga and valued the excellent communication and superb efforts by Peter, Lisa and Myles to ensure that everything ran smoothly. The Cleaves operate calmly and effectively, and have the clever ability to keep up traction without any pressure. Peter is a smart negotiator bringing deals together, Lisa is a perfect organiser, and Myles is an enthusiastic, hard-. working Property Guru. We were also impressed with their honesty and integrity and would highly recommend The Cleaves as a team that takes real estate marketing to the next level. Marj & Peter Ayson

Myles, Lisa and Peter were absolutely amazing to work with to sell our property. They truly understood our outcomes and stuck with us through to ensure we got an optimal outcome. Their professionalism, persistency to find the right buyer by going above and beyond the usual 'open homes' truly impressed us. I look forward to working with them again.

We hold them in high regard and are pleased to recommend their services.

We have had the privilege of both purchasing and selling property in Parnell with the assistance of the Cleaves. Both campaigns were undertaken during soft market conditions and involved property-specific challenges. Despite these factors, the Cleaves demonstrated professionalism and unwavering commitment to achieving outcomes. Their clear communication and persistence throughout the processes gave us confidence and ultimately delivered successful results. We hold them in high regard and are pleased to recommend their services.

A seamless and stress free process

Working with The Cleaves to sell our home was a seamless and stress free process. Selling a home can be such a challenge, but The Cleaves made what could have been a tremendously stressful experience an absolute breeze. We were very grateful for the regular, clear and thorough communication we received at every step of the process.
