ANDREA SKEWS - BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT EVER. (Seriously, THE BEST!!)
To select a Real Estate agent to sell our home we decided to go to open homes in Karori and do some clandestine 'rate the agents'. It was an eye opener! Four Open Homes in (and beginning to loose hope) we arrived at one of Andrea's Open Homes.
Cue clouds parting and the choir singing.
Andrea was welcoming and interested in our thoughts on the property. She knew from the outset we were not buyers but was warm and convivial with us.
When we left Andrea handed me her business card and I explained that we were looking for a Real Estate Agent to sell our home.
Andrea came to our house, had a solid look and we put TOGETHER a plan. To be clear, Andrea knows the Wellington market intimately. We had draftsman plans and a builder lined up for renovations. Andrea talked through where and where not to spend money.
Throughout the new kitchen, bathroom and deck build Andrea assisted us in the myriad of choices.
Two Covid lockdowns and a tempestuous housing market changed nothing in Andrea's demeanor, she continued to be rock steady while supporting us to maneuver the obstacles.
Andrea talked through and provided options for the listing, including the photos, staging, Open Homes all while sorting a plumber (our hot water cylinder died 4 days before listing) a gardener (our lawn mower was in storage) and anything and everything that came up.
Andrea provided us updates after every open home and weekly stats on internet views.
When deadline arrived Andrea walked us through the offers giving us time to consider our next step and offering suggestions.
I can say with 100% certainty (with the turbulent Wellington housing market) we would not have sold our house in four weeks without Andrea as our agent.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. I cannot tell you the number of times her steady, solid, calm coupled with her rich, deep humor had us laughing in the most stressful times.
We feel humbled Andrea was captaining our 'sale' journey.
BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT EVER!
