Approachable, realistic, knowledgeable about local market and inspired confidence

We found Ben to be very knowledgeable about the local market and realistic about the price and method of sale that would suit our property. He and Michelle efficiently got the initial paperwork completed for us to sign. We had worked with Michelle before and found her to be very professional, honest, encouraging and empathetic. We received regular feedback, both verbal and written, after the open homes. Both Ben and Michelle worked hard to guide us through the process of the property sale to get us the best price. Thank you for your patience and encouragement.

Great team work.

Great team work.

In the initial interview I thought Ben had a good grasp of what was happening in the market at the time. He convinced me to go with an auction so that the price would be more accurate with the current market. He appeared to want to get the best price for me. This was evident at the final stages as he negotiated a favourable price on my behalf. After the initial meeting I was told that the photos would be done that following week and the house would be advertised soon after that. However, it took nearly 4 weeks to have the house put on Trade Me and one more day to have a sign put up. During this period the lack of communication regarding the progress made this time quite stressful. I appreciated Ben’s colleague Michelle Sunderland’s friendly and open communication after Open Homes as well as her detailed reports. Also Ben’s administrative assistant, Laura, was supportive and efficient as she kept me informed of Open Home times and other details. An anomaly with the title was later discovered by my lawyer which therefore influenced the auction as the title was now deemed defective. I asked for another meeting to see what our next step would be. Ben was very positive about keeping up the open homes and viewings. This gave me peace of mind that we could work through this new challenge. This was proven to be right as we had an unconditional offer within a couple of weeks.

Great team!

Ben and Michelle were awesome from the get-go. Their appraisal was thorough and they were realistic with their indication but worked hard to get top dollar. We sold ahead of time thanks to Ben’s great negotiation skills. Communication was good throughout the open homes and Ben & Michelle balance each other very nicely with their skills complementing each other and rounding off the whole package. Thanks Ben and Michelle, we are so glad we used you to sell our home!

Ben is a very good agent with a good understanding of the marketplace and people. He listened carefully and brought ourselves and the vendors together to a satisfactory negotiation. I like the way he was very straight up and down-to-earth.

Ben was easy to deal with through a lengthy negotiation process. He was always professional and transparent, and responded to any query very quickly. We ended up buying the property he listed, and we’d work with him again in future.

Throughout our journey he offered us expert advice ensuring we could confidently make informed decisions making all the difference in our successful outcome.

Support and advice every step of the way

Ben and Michelle were incredible, we felt it was certainly a buyers market. However with Ben’s knowledge and negotiation skills he made it happen for us. I think with any other agent we may have given up. We would not be sitting in our new house now if it was not for Ben. Thank you so much Ben and Michelle.
