Great communication, Derek is upfront and honest, with a friendly and personable approach.

We had a fantastic experience working with Derek Kelly and Te Ataahua Telford-Epiha as our real estate agents. They were incredibly easy to deal with and kept us informed every step of the way, providing regular updates through a dedicated WhatsApp chat. Since we were out of town, they took the initiative to handle maintenance and lawn care, which was a huge relief. Despite the challenges of the current market, Derek and Te Ataahua did their best to guide us, ensuring that we stayed rational and realistic in our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us through this process and highly recommend their services!

We can’t thank Derek enough for the super sale of our rental. Derek employed his local brilliance and had our property under offer within three days of officially receiving the listing. No signs, no marketing or advertising required. Very impressive, his professionalism was second to none . We would highly recommend Derek and the Kelly and Co team for your future sale or purchase . Thanks

We met Derek when we bought our current house and when the time came to sell, there was nobody else we considered. Derek has been operating in the Otaki region for many years and is an expert in lifestyle properties. He conducts all dealings with honesty and integrity, sets realistic expectations and has a low key, gentle and genuine approach, which gives you complete confidence in the results. The market has been challenging and he secured us a sale with a good price and helped to navigate all the different tricky little things that can come up. His knowledge of the market, understanding that every home has its own journey and ability to provide realistic assurance helped us enormously through one of life's stressful events. We are absolutely delighted with the results and our experience with Derek. We consider him a friend.

I contacted Derek Kelly when I was looking to sell my house in Otaki and the response was prompt and efficient. He and Te Ataahua came back the following day with a very professional marketing plan covering my house and similar properties in the area. Their communcation with me was excellent and I sold my house quickly which enabled me to move on with the property I had offered on in another area. I was kept informed of all things relevant to the process and my communications were always answered promptly. I would thoroughly recommend Derek and his team if you are considering selling or just want to know what is happening in the area before placing your property on the market.

We had a great experience with Derek as our agent. He understood the needs of our family and the market. Our property was on the market for two weeks before a buyer came to us. Working through the negotiations saw Derek being very patient with us as we worked through all our options and information around what the market was doing. His gentle approach and steady determination saw us close the sale we were all very happy with.

Derek and his team were personally recommended to me by friends in Otaki. He and his team have been outstanding in the standard of their professional support of our sale and throughout the process. Moreover, with each step of the journey Derek has kindly taken a personal interest in all the details and expertly guided us through them and what was needed to best manage them. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his Company to potential vendors.

Derek and Te Aatahua did an awesome job marketing and selling our property. Great local knowledge. The team do an awesome job supporting the community as well. Would work the Derek and the team within a heartbeat.

Derek carried out the appraisal and listing of our rural property, and gave us a fair appraisal of likely market value and time to sell. Both proved to be correct, and despite being a niche lifestyle property, it sold within 3 weeks of listing. Derek is very personable and honest, took a genuine interest in us as clients, and our needs, and communicated well. He is also very astute at matching the right people to the right property. We would thoroughly recommend him as an agent for selling or buying.

Great communication. I would recommend using Derek to sell your house.

Thanks to the team at Kelly and Co, our recent sale went like a dream. Receptive, astute and efficient, the staff got the ball rolling and across the finish line in record time. We could not be happier. Thank you Kelly and Co.

Derek made the whole process easy and stress free. With his knowledge of the local area, professionalism and integrity, we really couldn't have asked for more from a sales agent. He kept us up to date with clear and honest communication and was only a phone call away if we ever needed him. If you are ever looking to sell and want nothing less than the best, then Derek is your man!
