Testimonial Sale of 28 Tirairaka Terrace Okiato Russell

We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service Irene Bremner from Bayleys Real Estate provided throughout the sale of our late father's home. From the very beginning, Irene guided us through the entire process with professionalism and genuine care. She organized the staging and photography to present the property at its absolute best, managed the marketing campaign, conducted the open homes, and kept us informed every step of the way. What really stood out was Irene's determination to achieve the best possible result. Even on auction day, she continued working behind the scenes and succeeded in bringing a second buyer to the auction who was ready to bid. Thanks to Irene's market knowledge, dedication, and tireless work ethic, our late father's home was sold in less than a month. Selling a family home can be an emotional experience, but Irene made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend Irene to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, proactive, and genuinely committed to achieving outstanding results.

A seamless experience with a good outcome.

Irene, and her wonderful PA Malin, were very obliging, and easy to deal with. We were very happy with all the photography and marketing. To Paihia loving vendors, her apparent bias towards Russell was challenging, however she found our buyer, and overall we were very grateful for her hard work and efforts.

Top notch service

Irene is the best operator in the Russell area. Transparent, clear, informative, and consistently proactive throughout the entire process. She maintained a great level of contact and support over a long sales period, always keeping us informed and engaged. Most importantly, we felt comfortable and confident with Irene, which genuinely stopped us from drifting toward other areas
