Recently we sold a home that had been in our family for more than 70 years, and working with Belinda made all the difference. From the very first meeting, Belinda showed genuine compassion and understanding for what was an emotional and significant time for us. Belinda's professionalism was outstanding, but it was her empathy that truly set her apart. She told us exactly what was involved and guided us through every step of the process with patience, clarity, and kindness, making a daunting process much easier. We are incredibly grateful for the care Belinda showed throughout the sale. We would recommend Belinda without hesitation to anyone wanting an agent who combines exceptional skill with genuine kindness.

From our first interaction through to completion, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She kept us well informed at every stage, taking the time to clearly explain each step and ensuring we understood what to expect. Her communication was excellent – always prompt, transparent, and proactive – which gave us real confidence throughout the process. Belinda’s attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was evident, and she consistently went the extra mile to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We truly appreciated her guidance, professionalism, and genuine care during the process. I would highly recommend Belinda to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dedicated to delivering outstanding service.

Great and sold our property quickly

This was looking like a difficult sale, but Belinda and the team at Harcourts came through to get us an excellent price at the auction. Subsequently, Belinda worked through a few problems with closing the sale and everything is now looking rosy. I'm sure that the sale would not have gone so well without such a high-calibre team behind it. Throughout it all, Belinda was cheerful and upbeat and always answered her phone. She did lots of work for us in the background. She provided us with excellent advice, which we really needed a few times. Thanks, Belinda.

This is the 2nd home Belinda has sold for us in 3 years. Both houses were deadline sales and Belinda securred for both homes multiple offers. A Very committed real estate agent who knows the business of selling houses. We have watched other houses around us using other real estate agencies, and we are currently the only house sold. That tells the true story of Belinda's commitment and experience.

Our case was somewhat complex as we have just learned about monolithic cladding and it should have been clearly disclosed to us before we bid on the property at auction four years ago. Luckily, our selling agent Belinda Dunster handled the situation very well by apologising on behalf of Harcourts, where certain practices may put the real estate industry into disrepute and fall short of the community's expectations. From start to finish, Belinda demonstrated flexibility and efficiency. She is diligent and confident, with a strong customer focus approach. Her broad local knowledge will benefit everyone who is seeking help in selling their homes. We can’t recommend her enough for her expertise, dedication and genuine commitment to helping her clients achieve the best outcomes possible.

We had a fantastic experience with Belinda. From start to finish, she made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and even exciting. Her communication was outstanding- she was always available to answer our questions, explain the details clearly, and guide us through each step with patience and professionalism. Belinda was genuinely enthusiastic and supportive. She really listened to what we wanted, gave us great advice and went above and beyond to ensure we have a successful and quick sale of our home as we had put an offer in on another home. It could have been a very scary and stressful situation, but Belinda ensured the process went smoothly. We were shocked to have sold our home in a week(!) to make sure we could be unconditional for the other. We can’t recommend Belinda highly enough! If you’re looking for someone not only skilled and reliable, but also kind, approachable, and truly invested in helping you achieve your goals, then Belinda is the person you want by your side. Thank you, Belinda!

Belinda Dunster was superb to work with, from the moment I met her through to the sale of my property and subsequently. Not only was the property sold very quickly--in about one month, sooner than I had anticipated--but the sale price also exceeded my expectations. Belinda's advice about the best marketing strategy was 100 percent accurate (e.g., to have the home staged professionally and to choose an auction). I had always thought that an empty property needs to be staged and that, given the school catchment area, an auction would obtain the best result for me. After speaking with Belinda my hunch was confirmed. Belinda also gave me regular updates about every open home that was held as well as feedback when other realtors took their clients to view the property. I sensed from the outset that Belinda would commit herself fully to obtaining a very good result for me as the property owner. At no stage was I disappointed. Belinda's energy and enthusiasm was infectious. Her professionalism was always to the fore. I chose Belinda to be the realtor for the sale of my property because of the many positive reviews I'd read about her along with recommendations from people I knew who had worked with Belinda. Her warm personality, great communication skills, delightful sense of humour, and her sincerity impressed me. I knew she would be a superb advocate for selling my property and I willingly took her advice about anything associated with the sale. Belinda never waivered in her dedication to obtaining a very good sale outcome. She certainly succeeded! I have no hesitation in recommending Belinda as a superb person to work with whenever a property is being considered for sale. I would gladly deal with her again!

Belinda is a "people person" who is genuinely looking to help you navigate selling your property with as little stress as possible—she’s warm, empathetic, and absolutely “walks the talk.” She has natural intuition about the market and the best strategy for the season, with an uncanny ability to pick the right moment to list—my home sold after just a week and a half in the middle of winter, not by “waiting for summer”! The staging crew she engaged did an amazing job and made the property look a million dollars, which clearly lifted buyer interest. “Nothing’s a bother” for Belinda—she’s exceptionally hard‑working and proactive, and she does it all for you, not for herself. With my sale, she achieved an excellent result fast; one that was beyond my expectation! I highly recommend Belinda and the Harcourts Gold team. Thank you so much, Belinda! A++

Belinda blew us away with her confidence but it became clear that this was based on her extensive experience - she knew Wainoni and what buyers were wanting. She was a calming influence and made what we thought was going to be a stressful time much smoother and even enjoyable. Belinda’s communication was brilliant - we were kept up to date and in the loop about everything. Thank you Belinda - you’re the bomb!

Having never been involved with a deadline sale before, Belinda had her work cut out explaining the process to us - but did so with patience, vast knowledge and care. She was forthcoming and honest about the situation and did what she said she was going to do. Belinda’s comms were great and we felt informed at every step of the process. She was super professional with lovely personal touches as well. We were well taken care of!

Belinda showed great knowledge of the Woolston market and recent sales in the area. Her extensive experience really shone through as she guided us through this unfamiliar process - her confidence and smooth handling of everything was really reassuring. Belinda’s communication was outstanding - clear and prompt.
