Always eager to please

Doug put me at ease throughout the whole daunting process of buying a house and my first ever auction. Always available to take a call and actually listened to my needs.

A great outcome

Doug was easy to work with. He was a good communicator and gave very good advice based on his knowledge and the market. He was supportive and respected my opinion. He regularly visited to ensure that I was happy and well informed. The marketing went very well and a sale at auction was a fabulous outcome for me.

Highly recommend Harcourts and Doug Palmer

Doug was helpful and knowledgeable and was a really honest , down to earth guy which was refreshing. We particularly valued his pre auction advice and commend Harcourts on the way they conducted their auction. The bidders weren't harassed or rushed and there was a pleasant auction room atmosphere.

Highly recommend Doug Palmer.

My experience with Doug over the past two years has been faultless. As a woman whose husband passed away a few years ago Doug has been patiently navigating me through the difficult process of getting my property ready to be put on the market, which went unconditional in a month. At no time have I felt pressure from Doug, from the start of my journey to the end, only professionalism and an understanding of my situation. Dougs knowledge in the industry and the community led to the successful selling of my property. I recommend Doug to anyone considering selling their property and wish Doug and Jan all the best.

Excellent service

Excellent service

Doug is a great listener and understands what his sellers are telling him. He is polite and honest and works hard to achieve the results he gets. I found him excellent to deal with and honest and open personality and I wouldn’t use anybody else. He achieved a great result for us and was even willing to waterblast the fence When we were unable to do it. Doug will go the extra mile to get you the best dollar. And he advised us wisely when we were receiving offers. Great work

Doug couldn't be better!

Doug was second to none on the Kapiti Coast! His local knowledge coupled with extensive experience, well developed networks and client focus made all the difference. From the start we were guided through the process and advised about sales strategy, preparation of the house for sale and marketing. Harcourts and Doug were the obvious choice for us, and I cannot recommend Doug more highly to prospective clients looking to engage a top flight agent. Well done Doug - you're a star!

Amazing Service!

Doug was amazing through the whole process and made it really easy, even when it was hard I thank him for his patience and waiting for us to make the right decision to buy our dream house.We are really happy and can’t wait to move in.

Communication and hard work

Communication and hard work

We chose Doug because he understands what needs to be done to achieve a great result. It’s a tough market currently and many agents out there do not know how to operate in a buyers market because they have never had to. Doug has the experience, the skills and the energy required. We had top notch communication the whole way through the campaign and sold within 3 weeks of listing at an excellent price.

Our experience with Doug Palmer

We have just sold a property in Paraparaumu and Doug Palmer of Harcourts was our real estate agent. We went on the market in April 2022 just when the market was on the downturn. Doug very successfully managed the sales process resulting in the house being settled in June 2022 for a price we consider to be very good in the market at that time. We can’t recommend Doug highly enough. At all times he was very professional in his dealings and his communication with us right through the process was excellent. It was a difficult time to be selling but he handled the sale extremely well resulting in a positive outcome. His many years of experience showed through and he set our expectations to the right level. He provided us with sensible practical guidance on how to market the house and what we should do to present the property in the best light. He always went the extra mile for us and we can’t thank him enough. We would use Doug again without hesitation and happily recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their house. He is a champion.
