Our experiences with working with Gretchen and her team have always been very positive. She is very considerate to the pressures that sellers have and ensures her, and her team maintain clear communication and expectations of all parties to ensure there is transparency of the process, and timeframes set. Gretchen demonstrates high integrity and honesty in her dealings to give you the feeling of total commitment and priority our interests. Gretchen and her team are strong communicators and reactive to keep us completely informed. They have maximised our opportunities with potential buyers, and it has been amazing the number of buyers they have brought though our home. Gretchen has provided us with good guidance and realistic options re negotiating for a successful contract. Gretchen earns the amazing reputation she has in HB for the 5-star service that is provided by her and her team. Communication between all parties has been totally responsive and reactive to support the successful transaction achieved within a very short timeframe. We are very grateful for their expertise, kindness and support.

Our association with Gretchen through three transactions has been a pure joy. Her market knowledge and professionalism have been exceptional. The opportunities that were presented to us indicated that Gretchen understood our brief and was genuinely committed to us. Her work ethos is inspirational and her standard is excellence. Gretchen’s beautiful warmth, manner and sense of humour, combined with her ability to communicate her knowledge was exceptional. Through out these transactions there was never any stress, just a feeling of safety and that we mattered. Gretchen’s team were always unfailingly polite respectful and informative as was any other member of Bayleys organisation. It has been a real privilege and a pleasure to have been supported by such a talented agent as Gretchen. Grateful thanks. Robyn and Hugh Pearse.

Gretchen was a pleasure to deal with as were her team. Gretchen made the selling process very easy with no stress, was very organised and it ran like clock work. The team was professional and accommodating to our needs. Communication and feed back was excellent. Result achieved, thank you.

Gretchen has been so amazing from the first time I meet her. She has been very caring and professional .

Outstanding says it all

My experience with Gretchen and her team would have to be the best I have ever experienced. Efficient, knowledgable, communicative, friendly, honest and fun to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone that was selling their home. I picked Gretchen from four appraisals that I had sent to me when I was on holiday in Australia. Hers was the only one that showed initiative and expressed the feelings that my home gave me when I first bought it in 2013. She took the time to take her own photos and was the first appraisal I received on the deadline given. All up it was a great experience, resulting in the sale of my property in a difficult market.

We recently sold our home with the incredible support of Gretchen, Travis, and their amazing team – and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they brought a perfect mix of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care that made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Their communication was always clear and timely, and their strategy for selling our home was spot-on. Every detail was handled with care, and we always felt confident knowing we had such a capable and dedicated team behind us. Gretchen and Travis were thoughtful, approachable, and 100% committed to achieving the best result for us. What really stood out was how seamless they made everything feel – it was clear they genuinely cared about us, not just the sale. We are so grateful for their support and absolutely thrilled with the outcome. To anyone thinking of selling or buying – we couldn’t recommend Gretchen, Travis, and their amazing team more highly. You’ll be in the best hands!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Gretchen Paape from Bayleys estate agent of Havelock North to represent us with the sale of our much loved father's family home in Havelock North. Our overall experience was excellent from start to finish. Gretchen demonstrated outstanding communication & professionalism that made the entire process seamless. We appreciated her ability to keep us informed every step of the way. Her professionalism & friendliness shone through throughout. We highly recommend Gretchen Paape & her team to anyone in need of a dedicated & knowledgeable estate agent. Thankyou Gretchen, Erin & the team. We as a family appreciate all you did to guide us to a very acceptable final sale. It has been a pleasure.

Having recently purchased a property through Gretchen & her team we decided to list our existing property with them too. The results made it clear that we'd made the right choice! We were very impressed with Gretchen, Travis and the rest of the team throughout the whole process. The communication was excellent, we were kept in the loop every step of the way. We had full trust in Gretchen's market knowledge and knew she would have the best chance of finding the perfect buyer given her proven track record. Something we thought really stood out was the presentation and marketing that Bayley's offer! Would highly recommend Gretchen, Travis and the team.

Travis and Gretchen were both a pleasure to work with. Great communication and professionalism.

A top agent with super efficient and obliging staff. Ten out of ten.

Gretchen and Travis were professional and helpful. I would totally recommend them to everyone.
