Made the whole process easy and painless, was in contact the whole time helping us past any hiccups (normally heading them off before they happened), would thoroughly recommend

Dene has organised many sales for me in recent years. He is my go-to person and I trust him totally and know that he will always work hard to get a great deal- especially in difficult or sensitive situation

Negotiation , promptness , communication was excellant with Dene . An accepted offer already been approved so Dene had to hussle with a new cash offer late in the afternoon of a Friday . He did . With minutes before 5pm , he had signatures from 3 differant parties and the deal was done . Can’t recommend Dene enough , you won’t be sorry . Good luck for the future .

Dene was marvellous to deal with and always received regular and positive updates - even if there were no shows at Open Homes Dene always turned it into a positive. Never once did he discuss dropping the price like I have experienced with other agents. With the house being in a Family Trust there was a lot more running around for signing of documents and Dene was only too happy to sort this. I would certainly recommend Dene to sell your home if you want an enjoyable experience. Thanks Deno for a great result!

I have been dealing with Dene for several years and he is my go-to person for Southland sales. He is always friendly , helpful and dedicated to getting the best deal.

We first met Dene when looking at a property to buy and found him a very easy person to deal with, a real breath of fresh air in the real estate world, Dene was not pushy and gave us our space to make our own decisions. So while we did not purchase this particular home he showed us, when it did come to the time to sell our own house, we approached Dene to do this for us as we felt if we found Dene exceptionally easy to deal with then others would too. Dene never pressured us into any decisions, instead focused on our needs and ensured that we were comfortable with any decisions we made. He was always available for questions and advice and a real pleasure to work with throughout the sale and made the entire transaction feel effortless. I would highly recommend Dene to anyone whether you are buying or selling a property.

Easy and responsive communicator, punctual with a positive, engaging energy. Familiar with market activity, however limited by vendor's expectations in negotiations.

Communication Style Communication was one of the agent’s greatest strengths. Dene kept us fully informed throughout the entire process, regularly checking in and ensuring we understood each step. Negotiation Skills We really appreciated Dene's approach to negotiation, he offered sound, practical advice and advocated strongly on our behalf, ensuring we felt comfortable and supported throughout the process. Professionalism Dene was professional, approachable, and easy to work with, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to helping us achieve a great outcome. Overall Experience We couldn’t have asked for a better experience buying our home. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Working with Dene has been a great experience as a first-home buyer. He was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process, always taking the time to explain each step clearly and making sure I felt confident in my decisions, had some trouble on my side along the way and he sorted it all out with no fuss or issues and for that I am very very grateful!! Dene’s professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care really stood out. He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and made what could have been an immensely stressful experience was made so much easier with Dene 😊 I’m truly grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

Old-school charm, top-notch banter, and results that speak for themselves. Dene goes above and beyond—professional, reliable, and genuinely great to work with. As his catch line says the real in real estate.From start to finish, Dene delivers with integrity, expertise, and a personal touch that makes all the difference. Highly recommended.

Great communication very easy to deal with. Made it very easy for

What can I say about Dene ... I am in real debt to him ... His help was the difference to a sale or not ... I was stressed to the max & ready to walk away from a sale , but Dene realized that & sorted a number of issues ... He is more a friend than an agent ...
