Brent and Hunter displayed great knowledge of market conditions and how to target the right purchases in our opinion, and gave us an excellent overview of the necessary processes to follow. Also had a great team of "stager " and photographer who guided us in what we quickly saw was ideal presentation , which made us feel much more confident it would appeal to buyers. Brent impressed us as a very competent "team leader", as his experience had obviously guided Hunter whose steady and calm confidence mixed with his natural enthusiasm and his ability to explain procedures put us at ease. Overall, we were most pleased to have engaged Bower.

Brent and mini Brent (Hunter) were very professional, but at the same time very easy to talk to, also great with communication throughout the whole process, Would highly recommend them both and the team, the girls in the team kept us up to date with reminders for open homes and meetings, which we found helpful.

We recently sold our house with the help of Andre, Brent and the Bower team. And we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were incredibly kind and friendly, making the whole process feel a lot smooth. Their organisation was outstanding, every detail was handled with care, efficiency, and professionalism. What stood out most was the open communication. We always felt like we were kept well informed, supported, and able to ask questions or raise any concerns at anytime. They were honest, approachable, and consistently kept the process flowing smoothly which made a real difference during what can be a high-pressure time. We’re truly grateful for their hard work and dedication.

What a team! Thankyou Brent, Andre and all the team who sold my house in a ridiculous fast time. Professional service throughout from all staff. Thanks to the ladies for keeping me informed and the great photographer. An absolute pleasure doing business with you, thankyou very much.

A very efficient purchase of our new home! Hunter was friendly and approachable the whole journey.

We have used a large number of Real Estate Agents over the years and in the last year have sold 4 homes with Brent Bastin and Andre Stewart from Bastin Group, part of Bower in Tauranga. What a real difference working working with this team has made! The whole experience from appraisal, to marketing plan, to going live then negotiation and sale, we have felt excited, informed, reassured, listened to, and elated with the final results over all 4 property sales. The team dynamic works in the vendors favour as every person in the team has their strengths and niche skills making the whole experience seamless and exceptional. Andre remains calm, dedicated and in control of the campaign, alongside Brent; who brings unmatched market knowledge, enthusiasm & outside the box expertise while remaining humble and approachable. Everyone in the Bastin Group team is friendly & professional and the communication etiquette throughout the entire process has been spot on. We look forward to working with Brent Bastin and Andre Stewart in the future and would recommend them (and have done) to anyone looking to sell their home in the Tauranga area.

We had such a great experience working with Brent and Andre! From the very first meeting, we felt confident we were in good hands. Their communication was always clear and timely — we never felt out of the loop, and every question (big or small) was answered with patience and honesty. Their knowledge of the market and insight into what buyers were looking for made a huge difference, and their support throughout the process made everything so much easier and less stressful. It really felt like they cared about getting the best result for us, not just making a sale. We’re so grateful for Andre's hard work, professionalism, and down-to-earth approach. We’d happily recommend Andre to anyone looking to buy or sell — you couldn’t ask for a better agent!

We found the Bastin Group very attentive to our house purchasing requirements. Andre was our main point of contact and being from out of the region his knowledge of the property, communication, requests for information and organizing of viewing times, were invaluable, thus making it easier for us to make a purchasing decisions. After signing the S & P agreement, Brent did the presentation and negotiating of our offer very professionally, keeping information flowing between both parties till a mutual agreement was reached. Happy endings!!! We would have no hesitation recommending the Bastin Group, whether buying or selling, they made the experience less stressful and getting it signed by the selling party

This is our third sale with the Bastin Team and we would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking of selling. Brent has an incredible ability to gauge the right strategy for your property in the current market, and we’re always impressed by the amount of work he puts into truly understanding what’s happening out there. Andre was our main point of contact for potential buyers, cool, calm and collected, and that balance worked perfectly. As a team they complement each other so well. The rest of the Bastin Team were also fantastic to communicate with, and we never felt left in the dark at any stage. Professional, reliable and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We would like to sincerely thank Brent, Andre, and the entire team for once again helping us successfully sell our property. This is the second time we’ve worked with their team, and just like the first experience, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism, care, and dedication. Their communication, market knowledge, and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. We truly appreciate their hard work and commitment in achieving another great result for us. Thank you once again for your outstanding service — we’re so grateful for your continued support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Warm regards, JinTae & Carol

Sitting here with a sold sticker on our sale board it’s easy to feel pleased however it has been a long journey to putting up that sticker! The right buyer took a while to appear. People ask would we use Brent and Andre from Bower_ again? The answer is simple; in a heartbeat. Not once during the 7 months to find that buyer did we feel abandoned, let down, conditioned to take a lower price or anything less than their number one focus. Every person in their team is highly professional, personable and ready to achieve the end result, a great sale for us. Communication is a key focus at Bower_. Other companies could take a leaf out of their business model. Thank you again to all the team. Why would you choose anyone else.

the most outstanding agent I’ve ever encountered across dozens of property transactions. His professionalism, sincerity, and razor-sharp instincts delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. Andre was never pushy, yet always proactive; never rushed, yet lightning-fast when it mattered. Every question – technical or trivial – was answered with patience, clarity, and expertise. In negotiations, Andre’s mastery shone brightest: he handled every complex detail with flawless efficiency, shielding both sides from stress. As a buyer, I felt genuinely supported. As a seller in past deals, I now see how rare Andre’s ability is to spot critical opportunities and close outstanding deals for vendors with integrity and precision. Andre doesn’t just facilitate transactions – he elevates the entire process. True excellence.
