We recently sold our home in Parkside Street after listing our property with Peter, Lisa & Myles Cleave from UP Realty. The Cleaves are great to work with - very professional with a wealth of experience and market knowledge. The marketing campaign for our home was fantastic with awesome exposure. Communication throughout the process was also excellent and the reports after our open homes were very comprehensive and insightful of our prospective buyers. We are very happy with the result achieved .

Alison is a professional agent with great knowledge of her area. She sold our house for us at a time when the market was unpredictable and sales activity had slowed right down. Its easy to praise an agent when times are good, properties virtually sell themselves and you exceed your price. We had very quiet open homes and one bidder at auction. Negotiations were tough and we did not get our price. We were not in a position where we had to sell but decided to press on with this one buyer. The deal was done and Alison was professional throughout. I would recommend her services highly.

As vendors we found Karen to be hardworking, thoroughly professional and focussed on a result. Her communication was excellent and at all times we felt we had a clear, up to date understanding of the sales campaign. To prospective buyers she comes across as friendly, approachable and accomodating - just the person you need when selling your house. We are very happy to endorse Karen to any prospective home owners wishing to sell

We became aware of a property the day before the auction, Karen managed to get us through the property, provide us with all the necessary documentation and get our auction variations signed off that day. We were able to bid at and win the auction; a happy outcome for us and the vendor.

Karen was without exception always very energetic and strongly focussed towards achieving a sale. She often added little touches such as bringing fresh flowers for open homes - while not expected this was greatly appreciated. Karen maintained regular, detailed and focussed updates on the sales process. We were greatly impressed with Karen’s tenacity and regular follow up with prospective buyers.

I first came across Karen when I was hoping to purchase a property which I missed out on. Karen worked to try to find me something else by approaching people on her database that might have suited my requirements. When the apartment came up again Karen helped me to secure my dream place, and I then listed my property with her. I've never seen such efficiency in getting a property ready for listing in about three days, yet not one corner was taken. She then delivered the sale within seven days of the first open home, getting me a price I was really happy with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen for any purchaser or seller. She will treat you as much more than just another listing.

“It is with great pleasure to have this opportunity to recommend Lorraine as a Real Estate Agent whose professionalism, skill and honesty is outstanding. For the second time we have had the benefit of Lorraine marketing a property for us. There is no doubt the successful sale of both properties was down to Lorraine. Her understanding of market conditions and needs for the property’s sale was very apparent. It was very clear to us that Lorraine was very robust regarding full disclosure to the buyer. Which clearly demonstrated a professional in all respects. We have no hesitation in recommending Lorraine to others and if the occasion should arise, Lorraine would be the first person, we would contact to sell a property for us.”

Dear Sir/Madam, Alison and I go back to 2012 when my husband and I started looking for our first home in Auckland to raise our two little boys in. I immediately struck up a good relationship with Alison due her warm smile and her sincere genuine understanding of our goals. Her excellent knowledge of the market, her expertise in negotiations for the best price, her attitude of going above and beyond in helping us find that perfect home and keeping it real made me want to seek her out again when it came to sell that same property nearly eight years later. With out her I don’t think we could have got the job done as in the end it became quite a sad and challenging property to put to the market. Her expectations were spot on and she was always there to reassure us that we were on track, her feedback and research was outstanding and we felt safe in her very capable hands. Alison worked very hard for us and bent over backwards so I can only express nothing but the highest of recommendations as she continues to help people buy and sell real estate. Sincerely, Emma Hamilton.

Alison is professional and easy with a delightful personality. She managed the sale of my house extremely well, with a total of 8 offers presented at the end of the deadline sale process. What could have been a very stressful time was made streamline and simple with Alison's consistency and attention to detail. Alison was happy to listen to my thoughts and requests during the process, whilst sharing her knowledge and experience with courtesy and consideration. Thanks Alison!

Dear Barry and Grant It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to you both, but I'm well aware that as a friend of Alison's it will not hold quite the value I wish it could. I entrusted Alison (and Robert) to sell our family home in Stonefields, while we were effectively half a world away in Amsterdam. And as I expected it has been the easiest and most pleasurable experience possible. I knew Alison as a real estate agent would be gentle, professional and relentless when required and she has surpassed all expectation. Alison (and Robert I suspect) went above and beyond the requirements of a real estate agent and friend by vacuuming cat hair, picking up rubbish blown into the garden, collecting the mail, feeding the cats in the weekend, covering the staging furniture to ensure the cats don't scratch it, the list is endless. I'd like to think all of the above is because of our friendship teehee, but in reality it's both that and the fact the Alison is the consummate professional. I cannot recommend her and Robert enough and please feel free to post this letter to the public in whatever medium you both wish. Thank you Barry and Grant for your part in the sale of our home. I wish you and the UP family all the best, and of course most of all the biggest thank you and appreciation to Alison and Robert for such amazing work and result.
