Vaughan and John worked diligently with me over nine months. My needs changed during that time – they understood and adjusted their approach. These guys are genuine – they are in it for the long haul. I’ve bought two properties through Vaughan and John. The first was a rental investment – they provided very effective communication with the seller to achieve vacant possession earlier than expected. They linked me up with a great contractor and have continued to provide advice and support during renovations. A great result, restoring the charm of one of Marewa’s deco beauties, and securing a solid investment. Vaughan identified the second property which is now my Ahuriri home. It ticked every box – location, sun, privacy, and character. I got detailed advice and support during my due diligence. They guided me carefully through my first auction experience. Five months later I’m continuing to enjoy the perfect result of their efforts. Vaughan and John know real estate. They are quick to spot issues and deal with them. Their communication throughout each transaction was always timely and there were no surprises. Above all they were always supportive of my needs and provided constructive advice. If you deal with Vaughan and John you are in good hands. Thanks, gentlemen.

What a team! These guys were amazing from day one. Awesome communication, lots of hustle and not to mention sold in under a week. Would highly recommend these guys for any real estate needs.

I would recommend Vaughan to anyone, buying or selling. We had the pleasure of working with Vaughan when we were purchasing a property in an unfamiliar area. He was knowledgeable on the things that mattered to us and gave us comfort that we were making the right decision. Vaughan was great when it came to negotiating the offer, he knew I loved the house, so worked hard to pull it together. I feel that we had the best experience you could possibly have in one of the biggest moments of your lives. Thank you Vaughan

Vaughan is a speedy communicator which I really appreciated in a housing climate such as this one! He helped me to make quick decisions by responding to texts and emails and supplying relevant information quickly which allowed me to act fast and informed decisions.

I have dealt with Vaughan over my last 3 property sales, and have had numerous dealing with various agents over the last 30 years. I can honestly rate Vaughan amoung the best agents I have ever dealt with. His enthusiasm, market knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile for his clients, means I will continue to use Vaughan and Sotherby's in any other property dealings I have. The professionalism of the company and its agents make the process as stress free as it can be. He was always available, and kept me up to date every step of the way. Cannot recommend his service highly enough. Thank you Vaughan.

Vaughan had a clear vision of what we were looking for. He took so much time to help us find what we were looking for. Nothing was ever a hassle and made our house hunting journey an enjoyable experience!

Both Vaughan & John were extremely professional & proactive. The sale of our house was sealed quickly with top notch price & outstanding service. We would highly recommend to others. Thank you Vaughan & John for an amazing outcome & job well done.

We recently bought a house with Vaughan and John and they were great to deal with. They had great knowledge about the house, answered all our questions and were very professional. We have dealt with other people at other estate agents, Vaughan and John were so much better. We would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future. Many thanks to you both

Fantastic knowledge, integrity, professionalism, and a brilliant result to match. You spend a lot of time with your agent, so they need to be nice people, and then you rely on them to get the results when you aren't around to see, so you need to trust them without question. I couldn't recommend Vaughan and John any more highly. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Vaughn and John both have outstanding knowledge about not only the Hawkes Bay market but the market in NZ in general. They were extremely supportive and helpful throughout the whole process especially considering this was my first house sale. I will definitely be using their expertise again either through buying a new property and/or getting advice before I do. Thank you for making such a stressful experience such a pleasant one.

Vaughan and John was amazing professional and the fact he know the home help enormously never give up attitude right to the end Thanks for your support

Vaughan is the ‘old school’ professional agent, which is a rarity today. His knowledge of the Hawkes Bay market is excellent. Worked tirelessly to market and sell our house. Great communicator, keeping us informed of all feedback from prospective buyers. The best agent we have used in our 8 years (and four houses) living in NZ.
