I've deal with Sharon and her team a couple of dozen times over the last 5 years. As both a vendor and purchaser, and for personal transcations as well as via our commercial endeavours. At the end of the day, there are some simple reasons Sharon is at the top of her game, and I would put that down to balance. There's the balance between profesionalism and being down to earth. There's the balance between knowing when to listen, and when to advise. There's the balance of knowing when to seek my input, and when to just get on with it. There's also a balance to be found between result, and time taken to achieve said result. Sharon and her team understand this balance better than any other in Wanaka. I don't doubt they also adapt the particular balance for individual situations and/or parties. Generally speaking, I'm one to back the "little guy", and to spread work around. I've acted this way with property transactions, motivated to "give someone else a go". But, for me at least, Sharon has set my level of expectations, and I've yet to find someone else in the South Island that comes anywhere close. There's say 100 agents in Wanaka at a guess? And Sharon and her team appear to me to be a third of the market, perhaps more. Proof is in the pudding.
