A Professional and Persistent Approach

A Professional and Persistent Approach

Selling our property was never going to be an easy assignment. It was quite a unique property and, combined with a difficult market, it took time and persistence to find the right buyer at a price we were prepared to accept. What impressed us most was that Cristina remained committed throughout the entire process. She kept working with prospective buyers, followed up opportunities and remained positive and persistent even when a sale didn't happen as quickly as we might have hoped. She understood that we weren't simply looking to sell at any price and continued working until an acceptable result could be achieved. Cristinas communication throughout the process was excellent. We were regularly updated on buyer interest and feedback and always felt comfortable discussing the campaign, the market and the various options available to us. We never felt left wondering what was happening. Her persistence and hard work resulted in a successful sale at a price we were happy to accept. We genuinely appreciated the effort she put in, particularly given the challenging market conditions and the unusual nature of the property. She was professional, approachable and easy to deal with from start to finish, and we would happily recommend her to others.

A pleasure to work with

Cristina was with us for a 3 year process on our house sale. As the market worsened and sales were hard for all in Auckland Cristina kept positive and managed to find a buyer so we could move forwards with our new life in Christchurch. Always courteous and passionate about her role despite a roller coaster ride, it was a pleasure working with Cristina.

Knowledgeable, well connected and a pleasure to deal with

Cristina was a pleasure to deal with throughout the sale of my property. She has a strong knowledge of the market and made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. What particularly stood out was the strength of her network and her ability to connect the right buyers with the right properties. She was professional, approachable and easy to work with, and communicated well throughout the process. I was very happy with the outcome and would have no hesitation recommending Cristina to anyone looking to sell their property.

Warm, engaging and gets results

We chose Cristina for her warm, engaging style backed by a deep understanding of the market and proven results in the area. She was easy to work with, gave us good sales direction, and we were very happy with our final sale in what is a tough market right now.

Cristina is thoroughly professional, kind and caring. A wonderful agent to work with.

We chose Cristina to market our Herne Bay home as we very much liked her marketing style and how professional and caring she was. She gave us excellent advice on staging and what we needed to do to get the house ready for market. She left us to get organised, and when we were ready, she presented us with a very professional plan that culminated in a good result. Cristina is a lovely person to deal with, very kind, caring and goes the extra mile. Thank you for everything Cristina you're a gem.
