It was an average experience. She was accommodating. Could be better by being more flexible with schedule and having more knowledge about the property details.

Now Debra has just sold our home with that same friendly and positive attitude, not to mention the attractive 1.25% fees. thanks Debra

Debra was very professional at all times, she kept us well informed at all times.

This has been the third time I have used Debra to sell properties. She has a good knowledge of the market, strives to get the best possible deal, communicates well with the vendor. In using Debra 3 times indicates my trust in her to sell. You don't have to pay huge commissions to get a great job done, that's why Smart Real Estate rocks....

Debra and her team wasted no time in following my initial enquiry to discuss the prospect of selling my home. A face-to-face conversation in which we discussed an appropriate sales strategy was informative and put my mind at rest as to what to expect. Debra quickly arranged the relevant marketing initiatives and conducted the process from start to finish, keeping me informed all the way. Any concerns I had were carefully and sensitively addressed; the momentum gathered pace and within a very short period of time, I was facing a multitude of offers. Debra allowed me to consider each on their own merits before settling on a final offer, and what was by now 'true to style', Debra conducted the next and final stages of the process with attentiveness to my nervousness and kindly reassured me when I felt somewhat overwhelmed by the stresses which can arise during the buying and selling process. In summary, I liked Debra's style of engagement, her ability to 'run with the ball' and bring about a successful conclusion to the sales process - highly recommend this agent, it was an enormous pleasure to trust this process to such a skilled professional. Thank you, Debra!

Debra was an excellent vendors agent, as we bought our first home. Good and prompt communication between ourselves the buyers and the vendor, it was a great experience. Many thanks!

For someone who had not purchased a house in 20 years it was great to work with Debra in the purchase of my new pad. She was honest and provided guidance through the process working with both myself and the seller for the best outcome. It was also pleasing to have feedback from others in the market from agents to lending providers espouse the virtues of Debra lending more weight to the opinions and confidence he had in her.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Debra and the Smart Real estate team, thank you very much for all of your hard work - much appreciated! Sandi & Scott

Debra was onto selling my property straight away even though I’d emailed in the evening I still received a call that night. Easy to deal with and exceeded my expectations. Would 100% recommend.

Immediate assessment of what was required,followed by appropriate marketing package,signage,staging and critical reporting of progress,culminating in the presentation of all offers and recommendations. Property sold without any hassles and most of all without the usual EXORBITANT fees charged by her competitors. Smart Real Estate is exactly what the name suggests but could be renamed Very Smart Real Estate. Thoroughly recommend Debra Hakaraia and Smart Real Estate for your next Real Estate project.

The best real estate company I have ever dealt with. Debra Very professional, experienced and helpful agents and brokers. Highly recommend.

I found my experience with buying my first home rather stressful and I did not feel the support or comfort with this agent even though she informed me she was there to support me as well. It is clear this is a very small and new company luckily I found support in buying this lovely home which I just love elsewhere. In the post expection I noticed carpet stains that were obviously hidden when dressed for viewings when told it was new carpet. Excited to get into my new home I asked agent if I needed to clean down before moving in her response was depends how clean you like things. I initially gave it a clean anyway and found more dirt n grime which should of been wiped down prior to selling. She advised she had emptied the bins which was fine till I opened them and the smell of horse manure or something really off ranked the bins out and cleaning them wasn't pleasant. My heatpump needed the filter cleaned a few weeks ago after only been in the property 4 weeks it looked like it had never been cleaned. I suggest some improvements to be made with this company if you wish to survive in this economy and thanks very much for the sale I am really enjoying my new home.
