Whilst renovating a couple of townhouses in the red-hot market late last year I was initially looking at listing privately, but that notion changed quickly when the market shifted into an incredibly difficult one. I undertook a search to find the right agent required in incredibly uncertain times. I put aside recommendations from friends and family and discovered Dave McCartney of The McCartney Group. I was immediately impressed with his X factor, energy, enthusiasm, and marketing vision. Both sold and we couldn’t be happier! - they delivered the results we were after in record time by utilising their entire team’s expertise, strong negotiation skills and tireless work ethic. Now both places have the lovely yellow ‘sold’ stickers on them, while many similar ones have been on the market for many months. Our thanks go out to Dave, April, Rebecca and the entire McCartney Group.

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Dave and his team. The whole team is super approachable and will go the extra mile to help. Their communication, knowledge and marketing is top-notch, we truly can’t fault anything. A big thank you to Dave for making the sale process such a positive one for us!

Unfortunately we attempted to sell our house with another agent. This experience failed with epic proportions. We rang Dave late one evening explaining our situation. Dave swept in with complete professionalism, set us at rest and took over the marketing and sale of our family home. Every step of the way he was incredibly professional, put us at ease and just flowed us through the process. Not once did we ever doubt that he he our absolute best intentions at heart. His paperwork, communication, presentation, integrity and work ethic was absolutely faultless. We trusted Dave and his team with our biggest asset, our life’s savings, our family home and we would strongly recommend Dave and his team to anyone looking at selling or buying a property in the East Auckland area. Thank you Dave Ps there is always a cold beer in our fridge for you if you are ever in our new neighbourhood.

We started 2022 moving our family to the Coromandel, unexpectedly stumbling upon our ideal home meaning we had to sell fast. Dave and Silvan made it easy. Their incredible knowledge and passion for what they do coupled with their fun but professional marketing campaign meant choosing their team was a no brainer. They supported us through a few niggly moments reassuring and guiding us throughout the process. We would recommend Dave and his team in a heartbeat, their record speaks for itself. When life gives you lemons, list your Property with Dave!

As someone who watched and attended almost every Ray White auction for 9 months of a year, before finally purchasing my home 3 years ago, I think it's fair to say I do my research and know a little of what's going on around me in the real estate market. However, when I accidentally stumbled across a new property that fitted all the criteria for my next home, I made an offer but I was NOT ready to sell my place! Blind panic and who could I trust to represent my beautiful home? Every time I mentioned I was thinking of selling to anyone, it was Dave McCartney's name that I heard. His team includes born and breed east Aucklanders, which sure put your mind at ease - these folk know what they’re talking about! Dave was always positive and complimentary yet he was also honest and real when needed; nothing was too difficult, Dave (and his team) often went above and beyond what I would expect from an agent - I always felt like I came first. His attention to detail, knowledge on the area, the current market and ability to explain things in great detail (which I needed often being new to the game), put my mind at ease and I felt like I had made the right choice. Since starting the campaign, I've seen how invested Dave is in the community and met more of the team - I’m glad they’re a young(er) crew, because for as long as I'm out east, I’ll be using them!

Dave and his team were very professional from originally signing up to the sale of the property. I found Dave very straight up and honest about where the market was at and his expectation of what he could get for the property. He was pretty much on the mark . The team has been great to deal with the process for us was easy and straighforward. Strongly recommend if you are looking for a trustworthy agent and team

Dave was professional, friendly and knowledgeable from the very first meeting. His marketing campaign was very well curated, targeted and presented which gave Lexi and I tremendous confidence and made the process for us extremely easy. Both Dave and April had amazing communication throughout the entire selling process right until the drop of the hammer. Lexi and I would not hesitate to recommend Dave and his team to trust your property with. Thanks again! Wesley and Lexi

50 years in the same house meant the decision to sell was a nervous time. From the outset Dave and his team lead us skillfully through the process. Everything was explained in accurate detail, our thoughts and requirements were listened to and respected, a programme set and the journey began. We were kept informed of progress all the way though and they were available anytime we had questions. The bright cheerful approach from the team made a stressful situation more bearable and the effort put in to achieve the desired result was amazing. Thank you Team McCartney you are the best. Heather and Richard

Dave McCartney took the time at the outset to understand our goals and context for putting our property on the market. Dave worked with Silvan Klem on the listing. They were both readily available to discuss matters and handled things personably and professionally. Dave and Silvan were agile in pivoting the sale strategy to suit changes occurring in the market to secure a good outcome. It was a pleasure to have Dave and Silvan as our agents.

From the first time we met Dave we knew team McCartney were the best people to sell our property. Dave acted with great professionalism and demonstrated a great knowledge of the market. He was personable and easy to communicate with. The team were always available to answer our questions and gave us honest and detailed feedback from our open homes. Dave ran an efficient and effective marketing campaign. We couldn’t be happier with the final result, selling under the hammer. Thanks Team McCartney for all your hard work and enabling us to move on to our next home.

Team McCartney - we can not thank Dave and April enough for the superb effort and work accomplished in selling our property! Their work ethic, professionalism, passion, drive, relatability, knowledge of the market, and open communication sets them out from and above the rest. We could not have asked for a better outcome and that’s all thanks to you! They are all round, excellent people & agents. Thanks team!

Dave has been a pleasure to work with and has been effective in getting the sale over the line during a relatively difficult market. Dave and Courtney made themselves available at any time for questions and were quick to respond with a phone call, text or e-mail. Dave and his team made the process simple and easy. I was impressed with the presentation of the marketing. We would definitely recommend Dave and his team at Ray white halfmoon bay to anyone looking to sell. Thanks again Dave and Courtney for the awesome job with selling our home.
