Debbie and her colleague Sally responded promptly at all times, and we were particularly impressed with the recommendations regarding staging, photographs, marketing, and the auction process. We saw real benefit in using a large agency like Harcourts.

Debbie was friendly and responsive. She was straightforward with us which is very refreshing.

Debbie ticks all the boxes. At her suggestion / coercion we got QV to update CV and also arranged property inspection report. She was very clear in communicating our desired price anticipation to prospective buyers and reported back to us in a very honest professional manner.

Debbie knew the area well.

Debbie and her team managed the whole selling process seamlessly and provided reassurance and good feedback throughout the process. It was very easy and went as smoothly as we could have hoped- we received useful advice and found Debbie practical and down to earth.

I had a great experience working with Debbie. She was an excellent communicator, providing regular updates throughout the process so we always knew where things stood. I particularly appreciated her approach of picking up the phone and having real conversations, rather than relying solely on texts or emails. She was also a strong and effective negotiator, which made a real difference to the final outcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property.

She is a very knowledgeable and professional agent as well as being friendly and empathetic.


I found a property in our desired location on the Trade Me website on a Monday morning but the auction was three days later on Thursday. With few properties ever coming on the market there, could we view the property, do the necessary due diligence and be ready to bid at the auction? What a challenge! Debbie rose to it with great professionalism and enthusiasm. We viewed the property on Tuesday and loved both the house and its location. Completing the due diligence in time was no small task as I had other commitments on Wednesday but the generous help and guidance provided by Debbie saw it completed late on Wednesday evening. She even provided advice outside of "normal" working hours. For the auction, Debbie organized bidding assistance for this auction bidding "newbie". (I was also somewhat "brain fried" by working at such speed on the due diligence). All of us reaped the reward of her efforts with a successful purchase at the auction. Thank you Debbie, you were pleasure to work with and we are so grateful that you went "the extra mile" for us.

Excellent agent.Great communication and knowledge.Very helpful with queries and prompt replies.A pleasure to deal with.

Debbie has been amazing to deal with. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone wanting to sell. Can’t thank her enough!
