Giles was great to deal with, I would recommend him for a promotion as soon as possible.

My wife and I found Giles to be very thorough, carrying through all the negotiations to everyone's satisfaction.

We are happy to recommend Giles to anyone looking at selling their home. Giles went above and beyond and his communication was excellent, keeping us updated throughout the process. Giles has wonderful knowledge of the Real Estate industry and supported us through the auction process which we were a bit worried about. A lovely man who knows his stuff and has become a family friend.

We have been privileged to have had the opportunity to negotiate our purchase of the Akaroa property with Giles as Harcourts agent. His outstanding knowledge of the Akaroa area and of the property at Selwyn Ave gave us much confidence in arriving at the decision to purchase on auction day. Post auction we now consider Giles also as a close friend and Harcourts should be proud to have Giles as their agent representing property owners in the Banks Peninsular area. We cannot speak more highly.

Professional and experienced with great knowledge of the area.

Giles Simons was our agent selling a house in Akaroa. He organized everything and we merely complied with his advice trusting that he knew much more about the entire process than we did. In fact we weren’t even in the country through most of the marketing process. He kept us updated with regular marketing reports so by auction date we had as much information as available which helped our decision-making.

Giles was a pleasure to deal with from the start. He offered a realistic property value assessment from the outset and prepared an effective marketing plan. Feedback during the auction process was excellent and he maintained this throughout the subsequent process. He was able to re-group quickly once the auction process fell over. Undeterred, Giles’ dedication to open homes and his local market knowledge, yielded buyers in the target price range. He used his professional experience and buyer-assessment skills to weed out the tyre-kickers to secure a genuine, realistic buyer. Giles exhibits genuine, thoughtful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly personality traits that help make him an awesome choice as a realestate agent. We have no hesitation in recommending him as a first choice agent.

I found Giles from the get go very friendly extremely helpful nothing was a bother. Giles knowledge was outstanding and made the experience very stress free as at the time my husband was in hospital and I was under a bit of pressure. I was very grateful for Giles help working through the process with me. I would recommend Giles to Anyone looking at buying or selling.

Our experience with Giles was exceptional. He kept in touch several times a week, was upbeat and thoroughly professional throughout the procedure.

We were very happy to entrust the sale of our property to Giles. We have known him now for almost twenty years. Giles is extremely knowledgeable about the local market...likely profiles of people who wish to enjoy what Akaroa uniquely offers. As far as the sales process was concerned, we were fully informed through all stages from first listing to final settlement. He was helpful, insightful and totally professional. I am very happy to recommend Giles to anyone seeking to either buy or sell in the Banks Peninsula area.

What more could you ask for in a salesperson? Respect, knowledge and efficiency. Giles gives it, in spades. The whole process was enjoyable, with Giles genuinely happy alongside you, all the way.
