About Adrienne

It’s a pretty exceptional occurrence when a real estate agent gets invited to go on holiday with her clients after she’s secured the sale of their home. But Adrienne Gooch can lay claim to that distinction. Her capacity to build life-long friendships with her clientele is a reflection of the trust and respect she has earned from them. She is confident that she leaves no stone unturned in obtaining the best price for her sellers - many of whom readily acknowledge her skills with written recommendations and testimonials. Adrienne comes from a legal background. With a number of years spent as a legal executive with a large Auckland city law firm gave her a significant understanding of the legalities of property transacting. Much of her conveyancing work was carried out for developers and Adrienne moved into real estate with a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area. It was 2004 when she began as a property manager but quickly saw that her primary strength lay in real estate sales and she’s never looked back. Two years in, and Adrienne was selling homes in the Herne Bay, Ponsonby and Mt Eden areas. An astute businesswoman, she invested in a Mt Roskill real estate agency whilst continuing to maintain a property management roll. As she grew the business she completed a Diploma of Business Studies majoring in real estate from Massey University. She also achieved REINZ accreditation as a Property Manager and all this whilst raising four children and renovating her own villas in the Herne Bay, Ponsonby and Grey Lynn areas. Adrienne's clients like her professionally and love her personally. Not afraid to get her hands dirty, Adrienne’s courage and a determination to succeed has kept her at the top of her game over the years when negotiating the sometimes choppy waters of the property market. A recent decision to partner up with Rob Jones, an agent well known in the industry with a fantastic track record, has augmented her business and she is excited that they will be able to offer their clients a complementary team with a mix of valuable skills. Adrienne and Rob’s high impact team offers twice the expertise for a single goal – to sell your home in the perfect time frame.

Exceptional Service

I've worked with Col 5 times now on buying & selling homes. She's just like a fine wine and gets better and better. Col is calm, organised, honest and communicates super well, nothing is too much to ask and she always keeps you informed of everything that goes on. She's very easy to build a rapport with and her real estate knowledge makes the process seem very stress-free. I'll use Col for my next sale and am very happy to recommend her to anyone in the market!

Excellence and Professionalism

Col and Richard listed our house- we chose them because we looked at another house for whom they were agents and admired their approach and felt they would be able to apply that expertise to the sake of our home. Also Col has been in the Mount Eden market for years and everyone knows and respects her. Col and Richard were so supportive in every part of the process, using their extensive buyer network to attract large numbers of potential buyers despite a challenging market. This ensured we got our price. They provided weekly reports to us on activity for our home and the wider market during the listing/open home process. Post sale there have been a few unusual requests from our buyers and Col has managed this beautifully - keeping us and our purchasers relaxed and the process leading to settling smooth. Regardless of the market conditions Colleen is the agent to go to to get the best possible results. She knows the market and the overall support Col offers before, during and after the offer has been accepted is nothing short of exceptional. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Efficient and friendly agent

Janet is a very efficient and friendly agent. It took us less than 12 hours from the first meeting at open home to get the deal done, thanks to her high efficiency and strong communication skills. Even though some of our conditions sounded difficult, she still helped us through them. We are very happy that Janet was able to help us secure this property. I would also absolutely recommend Janet to my friends as their agent.
