Gary Wallace

We have purchased multiple homes being represented by the Wallaces and each time had an exceptional experience, including this purchase in Parnell. The Wallace's are brilliant communicators, they know the best marketing methods, and negotiate hard on behalf of their vendors. They are also delightful to work with. Highly recommended by the Martelli Buyers Agents team.

We had the property on the market for 6 months without any real interest. The newspaper advertising probably had negligible impact, the Open Homes produced no genuine buyers, the market in Auckland in our price bracket is clearly difficult. This was after we were led to believe the house was special & would appeal. We were fortunate an offshore buyer saw the advertisement on line & through a Buyer's Agent bought the house. The price was about 25% below expectation & 10% below RV, That is the Market! The Wallaces are all lovely people & lovely to deal with, its just "Hard swimming up the Rhine"!

We had sold half a dozen properties in Australia previously but not through tender, which is what was recommended. The Wallaces had suggested this method as there was some time pressure and also having 2 little kids it was a challenge to have too many open homes. We agreed with their approach and got the result we were after. Throughout the process there was regular communication which we felt was genuine and honest which is critical when going through a property sale. They are clearly an experienced team. The final offer of the buyer was significantly above their first which indicates a strong negotiating process from the Wallaces. Overall it was probably not the best time to sell but we were very happy with result and felt the Wallaces could not have done a better job.

Vicki, Gary and the team are great at what they do. Their experience is evident and they know the Remuera market so well. They sold our house with enthusiasm, attention to detail, discretion and hard work. In a tricky market and with significant challenges, they were so kind and professional.

Vicki and Garry ran a very good auction campaign for us, during which we didn’t sell — partly due to some restrictions we as vendors had placed on the process. However, in the following period they patiently kept us in mind, even while we had tenants in the property, and ultimately introduced the buyer who purchased our home. The sale has now gone unconditional. We would highly recommend Garry and Vicki.

Team Wallace marketed and sold our house with great professionalism, superb communication and a very much needed sense of humour. When it came to negotiation to complete the sale they were diligent and tactful, extraordinarily patient, always honest and experts at taking into account all factors on both sides to broker a satisfactory outcome for all concerned. We were supported, heard and respected every step of the way. Selling our special house was never going to be straightforward in the current market but, with your help, we got it done. Sincere thanks. David and Karen
