Ian, Jenny, Clare & Nicolette were knowledgable, professional, positive and all round just lovely to deal with selling my home. Loved the extra mile they did with a little staging.

The Special agents 003 being number one in this area year after year is well deserved.

The Special agents 003 being number one in this area year after year is well deserved.

After choosing Ian and the team to sell our property, the 'start' button was pressed on an amazing well oiled selling machine. Expert advice on staging and presenting the house, marketing, advertising, video/photography spread across multiple social media platforms and importantly it all worked with, as predicted maximum interest, 3 busy 'open home' weekends, with continued buyer visits during the week days, The team throughout this process never kept us guessing, with prompt and accurate detailed activity reports providing relevant information. We have no hesitation in recommending 003, Press the 'start' button and enjoy their process, it's quite a ride and you'll have some laughs along the way, I'm sure Ian can be serious some times

Ian's positivity and professionalism are outstanding. He communicates well and is highly supportive.

We have high trust when dealing with Ian. He demonstrates professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for us. His communication is clear, prompt, and reassuring throughout the entire process, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. He offers thoughtful advice without ever applying pressure. Ian's understanding of the local market is evident, which gives us confidence in our purchase. What stands out most is his integrity and dedication. We always feel that he advocates for our best interests. Beyond his expertise, Ian is extremely personable, approachable, and genuinely invested in us as his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Awesome Team! Making dreams of living on the pōhutukawa coast come true

We have worked with and engaged with all the team at 003 for a few years whilst we make the decision on when to finally commit and make the pōhutukawa coast our new home. This last time we engaged the services of the lovely Clare Dower of Special Agents 003 and even though it took a few months we finally found the perfect new home for us and are so excited to make the coast our new home. Exciting chapter awaits us . Clare was so patient with us snd understanding our requirements and her communication and updates on various homes was excellent and we can’t thank her and the team enough. Highly recommend if you’re in the market on the coast engage with Special Agents 003 and you won’t be disappointed.😊

Thank you!

Thank you to Jenny and the team for getting us over the line. It was a stressful time on our side, and you made a complicated process feel easy. Also thanks for recommending a local person to do the building inspection too - he was top notch.

Ian, as one of the 003 Team worked his magic in to separate ways wilt our sale. Firstly, I believe he came up with the marketing Headline of "Rase the flag." Appropriate as we proudly flew the NZ flag in an eye catching place. Ian's second bit of magic came with the staging of our home. Simple and supple changes with what we had. Ruthlessly de-cluttering us and add colour where a simple bloke like me would never even consider to.

An outstanding team; wise, friendly, constructive and flexible

An outstanding team; wise, friendly, constructive and flexible

We cannot fault the service we had from the entire team that Ian leads - including Jenny, Nicolette and Clare. They are all so well informed, flexible to accommodate client needs and incredibly collaborative as a team which is really special. We were buying an unusual property and had a lot of questions and needed several viewings which they accommodated whilst respecting the vendor. The warmth they showed was a real bonus as we were definitely out of our comfort zone, but they also respected our boundaries and didn't pester us - honestly we cannot praise them highly enough! If you are reading this team, massive thanks, your emotional intelligence, high quality communication and overall calibre of your work set you apart. You will always be welcome at our 'new home'...

Great first buy experience

Ian and Nicolette helped my wife and I hugely throughout the process of buying our first home. They went above and beyond when it came to arranging viewing and walking us through properties. Their open feedback throughout the entire process made what should have been a significantly more daunting event easy and seamless. I cannot recommend them enough and should any of my friends and family want to move to beachlands I will make sure to send them to Ian and Nicolette.

Friendly Local

Ian was a pleasure to meet and we were very impressed with his local knowledge and enthusiasm. Ian is supported by other special agents - all of them independently are indeed special - and Ian is the forefront of bringing the team together I believe - so there you go - Ian knows his stuff! He knows people so well - he’ll always find the right win/win situation 🥳
