We couldn't recommend Dave & Leah highly enough! From the very first open home, their communication was consistent, clear, and reassuring we always knew exactly what was happening and never had to chase them for updates. Despite receiving an offer after the first week, they remained fully committed to seeing the process through properly, continuing to present the property brilliantly at every open home, private viewing and even securing a backup offer along the way. That kind of dedication really showed their professionalism. What made the whole experience stand out, though, was how enjoyable they made what can otherwise be a stressful process. We had a genuine laugh with Dave and Leah throughout, and that lightness made all the difference. Thank you team!

Dave and his entire team have been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Selling a house can be daunting however team McCartney made it very easy. Realistic numbers and no “smoke and mirrors”. Dave and Leah’s analysis of the market was spot on so we knew what to expect when negotiating with potential buyers. The results speak for themselves - We were under contract within 3 weeks from listing. Dave and Leah didn’t stop working there, a second backup offer presented the following week which gave us certainty our home was sold. By this time we have been searching for our next home for a few months and it seemed all the best listings around Howick were listed with Team McCartney. Dave knew exactly what we were looking for and presented us with a shortlist of properties to suit along with insights on each home and surrounding areas. We fell in love with one and are now a week away from settling on our new home. Dave and Leah guided us through the process from door to door and put up with all our late night phone calls and silly questions. If you’re looking to sell or buy in East Auckland, you’d be stupid not to give Team McCartney a call.

Dave is communication expert and a true professional. To help sell the property he made an amazing, humerus video of the property! Dave understands the market and his advice on pricing was accurate and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Dave’s services to everyone.

Dave and Paris make a great team and complement one another well. Dave has very deep knowledge of the east Auckland market which is what you need in tough market conditions like this. They're creative with their marketing campaigns which really helps get you the reach that you need and are always available for contact any time needed them. They work really hard with buyers to get them through the door and bidding on auction night. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in East Auckland.

I was looking for someone to tell me what I specifically do wit my property to get it ready for sale. I knew that there would be certain things that I should work on to make improvements. like the carpet and certain way's to stage the house, Dave was able to give me clear guidance on what to do and not an uncertain approach like, "you could do that if you want to"

Our sales team from Howick Branch of Ray White Dave and Leah were just amazing we were so tense and nervous of going down this track in a sale market of negativity floating around us all they just placed us at ease and comforted us on all angles and made this a journey of excitement in a challenging market we were facing. They were not scared to think outside of the box of imagination and adventure and from this they certainly delivered one hundred percent of this to our marketing process to the point we thought we were on a movie set of a Peter Pan adventure but in our case our Peter Pan was Dave McCarthy and his amazing team. Our potential buyer came through basically the first day of marketing perhaps it was Daves stage coach being pulled up by his loyal horses to the gate or even the visit we had from Tiger Woods for a golf match but to our surprise and his team they didn't know that Dave had a hidden talent of specking Italian. They were all amazing comforting and were so positive on this short journey with us from which Dave, Leah and team have left us truly humbled. Thank you so very much team for this adventure and the energy you gave us for always reaching for the star of a dream and to not look at just a sale of a home but to climb aboard the stage coach to be part of the experience of an amazing adventure. Very kind Regards Cameron and Gayle

A positive attitude is not pretending everything is perfect it's about having a mindset to work hard and to aim for progress. Dave and his team were a positive experience in a challenging market. Would we use Dave again. Yes 100%

We had a really positive experience working with our real estate agent team. They were friendly, calm, and easy to deal with throughout the whole process, which made what can be a stressful time feel much more manageable. Communication was clear and they always took the time to answer questions (of which I had many) and keep us informed. Their relaxed and approachable manner made the process feel straightforward and comfortable from start to finish. We really appreciated their support and would happily recommend them to others looking to buy or sell.

Dave and Stephanie made the whole sale process feel quick, smooth, and far less stressful than we expected. Their communication was excellent from start to finish — we always felt informed, supported, and confident in the decisions we were making. Their knowledge of the market, clear advice, and proactive approach helped us achieve a great result in a short time frame. We really appreciated their professionalism, honesty, and the way they handled everything so efficiently. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Team McCartney to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Dave and his team were exceptional from beginning to end. Their creative approach made the marketing unique and engaging, but what really impressed us was their clear communication and professionalism throughout the process. We received multiple pre-auction offers and our home sold in record time. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend them.

Dave and his team were the best. Very organised and professional. I’d have no issues in recommending Dave to anyone. Thank you.

Extremely happy with the service we received from Dave and the team. From our first meeting, they demonstrated excellent knowledge of the local market and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Dave gave us honest advice and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The team were always available to answer questions and ask for and took our opinions onboard. We would highly recommend Dave and the team to anyone buying or selling property. They truly made what can be a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable!
