Fabulous! Don't bother with anyone else! You've found the right agent in Jacob!

Why would you use anyone else? Jacob is fabulous! He is down to earth, genuinely cares about you, is very professional and knows what he is doing. Jacob gives good advice and will see you through what can be a daunting time with ease. We are very pleased with the result Jacob got for us selling both ours and our mother's property and very thankful for his advice and guidance. He communicated clearly with us throughout the process and showed a high level of market knowledge. You don't want to get stuck with someone who is just in it for themselves, you want Jacob who actually cares about you and the result he achieves for you. Jacob is a terrific combination of a great bloke, a clever marketer, solid and reliable worker, a genuine get in and get it done guy that you will be very pleased to have on your side!

Highly recommend

Jacob Tana was recommended to us. As our agent we found him to be clear, professional and very helpful. During the sale period, Jacob worked hard and kept all lines of communication open. He worked hard, listened, and answered our questions. We felt that Jacob worked with all parties for the best possible outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend his expertise.

Off the scale AWESOME

My experience with Jacob started over a year ago. I was a first home buyer walking into one of the first few homes I looked at. After having met a few agents already, I knew once I met Jacob that he was the only agent I wanted to deal with. His transparency, honesty, realism and super awesome attitude had me telling friends and family about him pretty quickly. Their response was “all real estate agents are like that, it’s all fake”, but honestly, Jacob’s vibe was one of a kind. He helped me over this year as my buying agent with nothing to go by, in the hardest market New Zealand has ever seen. He even put out on ad on multiple radio stations with my name, what I was looking for and to please get in touch with him. As a first home buyer with uneasy conditions in a HOT market. I wasn’t able to compete at auctions. I went to multi-offer scenarios and lost over and over. Fair to say, through the year I nearly gave up many of times, but this man right here stuck with me, we kept in touch even when I’d given up for weeks at a time. He knew that the price range I was looking at was below average, some would say even impossible! But with no pay day, no perks and no promises, he 100% proved my trust in him to be right, and proved the real estate agent stereo types all wrong. He really was there to help… after some work on my end getting into a better buying position. I called him with some good news, he sent me a listing that I thought was far out of my league. But with a A LOT of help from Jacob here, and again… no promises, I can now write this testimonial saying that I have now spent 5 weeks in my first home. My first home that completely exceeded my expectations. Fair to say, I’m one happy customer! Jacob, I cannot thank you enough and I truly believe that I couldn’t have done this without you. I have no doubt your intentions are the best possible and you have shown that through progressive actions more times than I can count. You’re changing the game. Thank you Jacob.

Stress free sale with an amazing result

When looking for an agent, it was important to us that we found someone that would take the stress out of our sale, that we could trust to deal with any given situation and that was focused on working for us to get the best result. This is what we have found in Jacob. We had been offered discounted commission rates from other agents but Jacob came across as extremely motivated, straight talking and had our needs at the forefront and this is why we chose him. Jacob has exceeded our expectations in every way. He has been exceptional in his service to us, professional and delivered an amazing experience from start to finish. We would highly recommend Jacob as an agent to anyone looking to sell their property, you are guaranteed to be in the best hands possible.
