I met Anya at one of her open homes in late 2023. We put my house on the market btwn Feb-May 2024. It attracted some interest, but the market was still precarious and uncertain post-Covid and the beginning of what would be a 2-year cost of living crisis. The challenge for Anya was that while I wanted to sell, until I found the right house to buy, I didn't want my house marketed too aggressively in case it sold to soon and I was left with nowhere to live while still searching for a new home. We kept the signs up while I kept looking, with Anya bringing the odd person through too, until early 2025. It wasn't until Oct 2025 that we marketed the house actively again. This time, I had finally found and secured an offer on a new home in Te Kauwhata (a new build), so we were able to throw my place onto the market right away. We hit a sweet spot, with 14 groups through at the first open home. This yielded a chain-free buyer with the right offer. My place effectively sold within a week of being re-listed, because Anya finally had my permission to unleash all of her skills. I would like to thank Anya unreservedly, for her professionalism, her tenacity, and her support throughout what turned out to be a very long game. As a single woman out of a 30-year marriage, I was so wary of going through this significant process for the first time on my own. Anya was by my side to literally hold my hand through what was a very stressful 2-year period. She never showed any frustration at my ambivalence at times, just quietly and patiently stuck with me and guided me through. She has the empathy and maturity to understand her clients' situations. Her expertise helped me to turn around a challenging scenario without being pressured, which made all the difference to me and my future. Thank you Anya for your expertise both in playing the long game - and going hard once given the green light - with spectacular results! Kaye
