Has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Made the first home buyer process 10x less confusing. Easy to communicate with, couldn’t recommend more.

We have worked with a number of agents over the years and Fiona is one of the best we have worked with. Excellent communication, great local knowledge, fantastic rapport and skills in dealing with vendor and purchaser to achieve a great result for all. Highly recommended.

We recently sold our home through Fiona Shearing of Ray White Town & Lifestyle Real Estate and were very pleased with the result. Fiona provided a realistic appraisal based on strong local knowledge of the Tai Tapu and Selwyn market. She prepared the property well, offering excellent advice on presentation and creating professional marketing materials that drew strong buyer interest from the outset. Throughout the campaign, she kept us informed with clear, prompt updates. She managed negotiations effectively and secured a sale price we were satisfied with. Her calm approach made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Fiona showed genuine care and strong attention to detail. She drew on her own practical experience with property and supported us right through to settlement. She is professional, approachable, and highly effective.

Fiona showed not only remarkable market knowledge but she showed genuine interest and care in our situation and the vision we wanted to achieve. She always communicated well with optimistic and realistic expectations for what we were able to do to improve our outlook and get the outcome we wanted. Using Fiona to both buy and sell was one of the best decisions we could have made as she used her knowledge and existing client bank to help find us the perfect buyer. Fiona proved herself to be worth her weight in gold with the amount of time, effort and commitment she invested into getting the best outcome on all sides.

Giving credit where it is due l would like to thank Ray White's Fiona Shearing ably assisted by Annette Warner for the great job she did selling my house. I would happily recommend that anyone contemplating selling talk to her. She was very professional in the way she put together a proposal and a marketing plan, and in the execution of it. She and Annette worked hard with the 39 parties who came through the house and secured satisfactory offers. I particularly liked that she went the extra mile. For instance she (and Annette) turned up at 7:40 am on a public holiday well ahead of the photographer's arrival with a car full of props to finish my staging, and had an eagle eye seeing where the cleaner had missed and doing something about it. Fiona was also very tactful about my own later inadequate vacuuming (let down by my eyesight) and did where I missed. She wanted a good result for me, and she got one. Thank you!

Fiona has been amazing throughout this sale. Her communication is outstanding, she is very professional and has made everything easy. As we do not reside in the area, we do not have any relationships with tradespeople so Fiona has put us in touch with her connections. Her recommendations have been very good. She has gone over and above what you would normally expect from a real estate agent, taking on board tasks that we would normally do if lived in the area. I would recommend Fiona as an agent.

Fiona was super helpful, always checking in and communicating with me, we wouldn’t be at the finish line with the purchase of our new home without her. Thank you!! ☺️

The likely purchaser was identified and how the house was to be presented and marketed was clearly stated from the beginning and although there was a major problem discovered at the property inspection stage it was dealt with and a new plan put in place. This change resulted in a different marketing process which achieved a shorter timeframe before we received several offers. It achieved a great result and the settlement date was significantly shorter than experienced in the past. I found Fiona extremely easy to deal with, any issues were discussed and resolved quickly, and the entire sales process was less stressful then previously experienced.

Fiona is the best agent we have dealt with. She explained the whole process to us in terms we understood. She went over and above to prepare the house for selling, making it very presentable and offering suggestions on how we could highlight the features. We were kept informed of any progressions so we knew exactly what was happening. The whole process has been seamless and we would use Fiona again at the drop of a hat!
