Ian Buchanan

Lots of communication, well experienced team, great job.

Ian was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the property we were buying, the auction process through which we were making our purchase and all of the little details such as who to contact for jobs needing done before moving in.

We purchased a section off Ian and whilst he called the day prior to settlement, to advise the owner had cleared the land of their rubbish, we received no congratulations on the day. Felt like we weren't valued, as it may not have been a big transaction for him. But every buyer should count, no matter how big or small the property purchase is, and how much commission a real estate salesperson is earning in that transaction.

I had a great experience working with Ian and his team. Selling in a challenging area and market is never easy, but they handled it with professionalism and consistency throughout. Communication was always prompt, and I was kept well informed with regular, honest feedback. Ian and his team worked hard to engage buyers and never lost momentum, even when the market was tough. What really stood out was Ian’s willingness to go above and beyond. He personally took care of tasks at the property that most agents wouldn’t, which made a real difference. I'm very grateful for the effort and care they put in, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian and his team to anyone looking to sell.

We recently purchased a property Ian was selling and the experience was a very positive one through top communication and professional friendly manner. Any questions we had Ian was able to answer for us. Any phone call, text or email was answered quickly with the information needed. Ian is very professional, dedicated to both his sellers and buyers, knowledgeable real estate and the homes and areas he's selling in. We highly recommend Ian, a great choice to sell your lifestyle property.

Ian had been recommended by one of his clients in the Mangatangi community. We had 3 agents pitch to us and Ian was positive, organized and had a lot of info at his fingertips. Clearly he knew rural real estate. Everyone knew ours was a niche property and we were naive on our sale price, as shown by the final price achieved very much in Ian's estimation from the start. Special mention to his team. The photographs and video I think are very superior. The photographer was also open to a couple of our ideas for some angles as we know the property. Ian's support staff were professional prompt and really friendly and organized. As noted ours was a niche property interest was not strong, Ian was always positive talked us through the issues and he did get an early offer which we did not run with which certainly in hindsight ...?? Ian did not blink came up with a plan after 12 months on the market. We trusted him,more photos new ideas and the rest is history. The negotiation process was made as simple as possible by Ian but believe me the final stages are not straight forward and it's all about the $$. Ian made quite a difference in this stage of the process. Communication was always prompt. In summary a long and difficult campaign was made much less stressful by Ian especially and supported by a great team.
