Cleighton Ahipene
I approached Ray White as they were close by to Havenbrook and I wanted an agency different to what the majority were using at the village. Cleighton and Thomas were able to meet with me straight away and we visited my mum's place the same day. I mentioned to them was there young age a barrier to working with older people. Cleighton expressed their energy was a positive from their experience working with older folk. I found this to be true for myself and also when we met with my Mum at the restroom They communicated in a way that I know my mum was appreciative of with respect, clearly communicating what she didn't hear or understand. Mum sadly passed away during the time of the selling process which moved it to Public Trust as the executors. I found that Cleighton kept me fully informed through What's App, phone calls and emails. This was an effective and efficient communication style for me as the epoa. He had to adapt to the challenge of dealing with a Trust and the delays that brought with it. I found Cleighton to be calm in the face of challenges, of which there was many, in reaching solutions for his vendors and purchases. I feel Cleighton is a compassionate soul in helping others. He kept his integrity and positive attitude despite difficulties along the way. I appreciated his honesty if there was something he wasn't sure of he would find out and let me know. I felt Cleighton's youthful energy, professionalism and negotiation skills to keep things moving forward impressive. Knowledge of the market, particularly around lifestyle villages similar to Havenbrook was helpful. Thank you Cleighton for getting the sale across the line for us. My mum would be very pleased it has sold
