Honest, reliable and easy to work with.

Honest, reliable and easy to work with.

Dave and Silvan were great to work with! they made the process as easy as possible in a very tough market, smashed the sale on our home and then sold us into our new family oasis. Dave showed true market knowledge and obviously has a real wealth of experience in both what buyers are looking for and what sellers expect - he keeps the momentum high and maintains progress even when there are hurdles, we found him to be an honest straight shooter and always had the best outcome in mind on both sides of the process. The marketing Dave carried out was fantastic and we strongly believe his approach is what sets team McCartney clients out from the rest of the crowd and gives you the edge in putting more buyers through open homes and making enquiries, combine this with his positive attitude and personal touch when dealing with buyers means that throughout the process we had constant interest in our home and the listing never went stale. Silvan was amazing - he is honest, personable and thoroughly reliable, he works hard on every enquiry and every question we had. He proved to be keenly aware of all facets of the market and and the ins and outs of what was going on at all times. He was calm and resilient through all the ups and downs of our journey and never swayed from the goal. Silvan and Nikki (who is also great) worked together on the purchase of our new home and they proved, once again, that Team McCartney are the best in the business. Dave and Silvan showed true grit and endless positivity in what is a major event in most people's lives. There is no "perfect" time to sell or buy, especially for two busy working parents juggling a very busy toddler. The process was testing at times, stressful at others and a real laugh when it could be! Thanks to Dave, Silvan and the rest of the McCartney Team we couldn't think of going through it with anyone else.

Great Team work

Right from day1, Dave and his team have been fantastic. While living overseas communications, through different time zones was never a problem. Thank you for keeping us updated and persevering through such a trying market period.

Straight forward, effective campaign in a very tough market

Straight forward, effective campaign in a very tough market

After selling our first property with Dave 6 years ago we always knew we’d sell with him again when the time came. As we were selling in a tough Auckland market, which had switched to more of a buyer’s market, Dave was very clear about expectations and strategies he would use to give us the best chance of selling. As we’d already committed to moving in and had to sell it was more a question of how quick would it sell and for how much. We had a short but very effective campaign. In a market where lots of open homes were quiet we had multiple groups through every weekend with several repeats. Every week when we’d catch up with Dave and Nicky there would be new updates from potential buyers and what I appreciated was the excellent feedback details coming through each week. I also get the impression Dave tailors his approach to every vendor. I didn’t want to be inundated with constant comparisons and analysis from other priorities as ultimately the market was going to dictate it for us. Dave was excellent at giving us the updates and key information we needed to know without being overwhelming. I’ve always been terrified of auctions but the key takeaway for us and measure of success was that we went to auction night with multiple registered bidders who came prepared to buy and ultimately we sold our beloved home under the hammer with some competitive bidding which, in this current market, definitely exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Dave and his team enough. If I was ever buying or selling in the area again there’s no question about who I’d be talking to. I wouldn’t look eisewhere.

Easiest Experience Ever.

Easiest Experience Ever.

What can I say about Dave and Courtney? They are really good at what they do, this is not a job to them, it's a calling. They genuinely care about everyone, and what happens to each property. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them. Great communication, prompt and also breaking everything down for us so we could understand. They jumped through hoops (and on the trampoline!), they flexed when needed, all in all the process felt far too easy.

A successful sale made by our excellent sales agent.

Nicky Morton was always helpful in the full process of marketing and selling our home. She made suggestions and recommendations through the whole process, and we could not be happier with all she did for us through to our final successful sale.

Good advice on market strategy

Good advice on market strategy

Dave and Silvan were great to deal with. We appreciated their insights and advice on how to get a result in what a market that faced with a flood of new properties and buyers with constrained financing. We got a preauction offer and sold at auction for 70k higher, so were pleased with the result!

Dave put us at ease when we first met him. He came over very friendly and put us at ease. He kept us well informed on what was happening with our open homes. We would have no hesitation in recomending him to any one who wanted a good. Honest sales agent.
