Excellent communication and friendly attitude .

I had the pleasure of Jake and Cara , taking care of me , through the purchase of my home in Cromwell . From the first open home visit , Jake was friendly and accomodating . Because I was in another city , he arranged a builder for me to do the inspection . Jake kept me up to date through the hole process. Then I had Cara, she was also great at communication . Accomodating in the pre inspection of the property . Very friendly . If you are buying our selling your home , I would highly recommend , Jake and Cara .

Quick to respond, sorted the details, made it easy

Quick to respond, sorted the details, made it easy

We bought an investment property through Steve at The Green Team (Arizto) and the whole process was easy. Communication was fast and clear the whole way through — Steve always got back to us quickly, no chasing needed. There were a few things in the paperwork that needed sorting — tenancy details, a few inconsistencies — and Steve just got onto it and sorted it without us having to push. Turned what could've been a stressful process into a pretty straightforward one. He knows the Wooing Tree/Cromwell market well too, which gave us confidence in the numbers. From the viewing through to going unconditional, everything moved quick with no mucking around. Easy to deal with, straight up, and got the job done. Would happily recommend Steve and the Green Team to anyone buying in the area.
