The Wallaces

We have purchased multiple homes being represented by the Wallaces and each time had an exceptional experience, including this purchase in Parnell. The Wallace's are brilliant communicators, they know the best marketing methods, and negotiate hard on behalf of their vendors. They are also delightful to work with. Highly recommended by the Martelli Buyers Agents team.

We had the property on the market for 6 months without any real interest. The newspaper advertising probably had negligible impact, the Open Homes produced no genuine buyers, the market in Auckland in our price bracket is clearly difficult. This was after we were led to believe the house was special & would appeal. We were fortunate an offshore buyer saw the advertisement on line & through a Buyer's Agent bought the house. The price was about 25% below expectation & 10% below RV, That is the Market! The Wallaces are all lovely people & lovely to deal with, its just "Hard swimming up the Rhine"!

I worked with both Sam and Andrew during the process of buying a new place and selling my own. I predominantly worked with Sam but was great to know Andrew was also available if required. Sam was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and real. I never thought I was being sold anything. Was never put under any pressure to make decisions and he did a great job at managing my expectations and preparing me for all potential outcomes. I also can't speak highly enough about the communication. There is nothing worse than having to chase someone for information and this was never the case with Sam. I left the process knowing I got the best deal I could in the market we are in and you can't ask for more than that. I can't rate Sam and Andrew highly enough - thank you!

We had sold half a dozen properties in Australia previously but not through tender, which is what was recommended. The Wallaces had suggested this method as there was some time pressure and also having 2 little kids it was a challenge to have too many open homes. We agreed with their approach and got the result we were after. Throughout the process there was regular communication which we felt was genuine and honest which is critical when going through a property sale. They are clearly an experienced team. The final offer of the buyer was significantly above their first which indicates a strong negotiating process from the Wallaces. Overall it was probably not the best time to sell but we were very happy with result and felt the Wallaces could not have done a better job.

great advice on marketing and knowledge of the market . realistic and pragmatic advice all stages of the process very well handled prompt and very well organised. the outcome was within our expectations, the importance of having their expertise and just excellent to have as our agents

Vicki, Gary and the team are great at what they do. Their experience is evident and they know the Remuera market so well. They sold our house with enthusiasm, attention to detail, discretion and hard work. In a tricky market and with significant challenges, they were so kind and professional.
