Thanks to your constant communication and professional guidance throughout the process, everything moved forward smoothly even within a tight timeframe. You listened carefully to my needs, worked tirelessly to identify the perfect match, and skillfully navigated the negotiation to a successful conclusion. I truly appreciate your dedication and efficiency, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of a reliable agent. Best regards, Gary Zeng

The sale of our first home was a daunting thought, full of stress and what ifs. Then along came Elliot, who immediately put us at ease after out first meeting. The way he was able to explain our options, the auction process and just him in general gave us the confidence to know any potential buyer would feel the same. Highly recommend!!

Elliot was very responsive, very pro active and done a great job at achieving a great result for me the purchaser and also the vendor. Thanks Elliot, top man.

Having successfully worked in the real estate industry myself for over 25 years in Tauranga, I believe I am well qualified to comment on a salespersons competency, skills, and character. Elliot Barnes is a rare breed. His friendly, good humoured manner, combined with his personable, polite personality means this gentleman can quickly and easily assimilate with any situation or circumstance. Add his substantial experience in real estate and the skills and competencies required to be effective, efficient and successful, and you have Elliot Barnes- a wonderful caring person dedicated to helping others in an honest, open and completely transparent way. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and even through the challenging process of selling our home, he was always there for us.

Elliot was extremely easy to work with, very knowledgeable and professional he made the process really easy and remained extremely helpful even after sales service was excellent! I highly recommend Elliot to sell your property as he will find the the buyer you need.

We first met Elliot when we were on the other side of the fence as buyers. We didn’t end up with that house, but we did walk away thinking, “Well… if we ever sell, that’s our guy.” Fast forward to selling our own home, and Elliot absolutely delivered. He’s professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and refreshingly positive with a great sense of humour that made the whole process far less stressful than it could have been. He kept us informed, guided us confidently through every step, and somehow remained incredibly patient and tolerant of all my questions, ideas, and last minute thoughts/changes (a true skill). Elliot is the kind of agent you trust completely, enjoy dealing with, and would happily recommend to anyone whether you’re buying, selling, or just need reassurance that everything is under control. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to sell our home.

Elliot has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He had a clear plan for the sale of our home from the start and executed each step without any issues. Elliot kept us updated throughout the entire process. Made the whole process stress free, also went above and beyond for us. Thank you Elliot for your professionalism and patience with us.

Working with Elliot has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His professionalism stood out immediately and every detail was well thought out and handled with care, clarity, and confidence, making the entire process seamless and well‑managed. What really sets Elliot apart though is his genuine enthusiasm and optimism to get the job done which meant he approached every viewing, conversation, and challenge with continual energy and excitement. He consistently brought a positive, solutions‑focused mindset that kept everything moving forward. That attitude made a huge difference helping me to feel supported every step of the way and, along with his excellent and frequent communication, it allowed me to leave the sales process entirely in his competent hands. He delivered the result he set out to achieve and also went above and beyond to help us secure our next home which we are incredibly grateful for. I highly recommend Elliot for his ability to get the job done.

Elliot was amazing, very personable, comfortable to deal with. I am so pleased I had him for my agent. Always offering to help. Great communication. Elliot was very professional and knowledgeable during the process of selling my house. A very nice young man. Even managed to secure the property I was buying, at a great price. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent agent. Thanks Elliot, appreciate the time and effort you put in. I couldn’t have wished for an overall better outcome. Thanks Elliot and I wish you all the best in you future. Iris Reid.

Elliott was super easy to deal with and really helpful as we progressed through the process of purchasing our new home

I have historically not been a fan of real estate agents but Elliott has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. professional, good communicator and decent sense of humour (Don't tell him that)- what would usually be a stressful time, has been a breeze.

We only dealt with Elliot for the final weeks of our marketing campaign, but in that time he proved to be very much "on to it", communicating with us at every point ie before the open home, when leaving the open home, and the feedback from potential buyers. It has been a pleasure working with Elliot, and the team at Bower.
