We presented Julie with a difficult sales task - a cladding house along with the stigma and other challenges that come with it. Julie marshalled the Harcourt resources as needed and her own strengths including experience and perseverance, while always keeping us informed and consulted. She stuck to the task, through multiple torturous and unsuccessful bids, through challenging building inspections and price negotiations that were eventually lost to the financiers and insurers. Then we honed the target market and came up with THE buyer that matched up and finalised an acceptable deal.

Julie has a kind and compassionate approach, with the right amount of support and gentle guidance when needed. She was always available, responsive, and made the entire process feel smooth and manageable, even with significant time pressure. We always felt that Julie understood our position as purchasers while remaining committed to doing the best for her vendor. She struck that balance exceptionally well, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

Very professional and mindful of both parties privacy and requirements.

Julie proved to be right! I was keen to sell my home but nervous about timing given the market conditions prevailing at the beginning of winter. The US/Iran war and subsequent oil crisis were causing huge uncertainty/volitility to global financial markets. New Zealand was not immune. Julie was certain motivated buyers were on the horizon. I followed her marketing advice, took the plunge and put my home up for sale. Her local knowledge proved correct and I was happy to accept what I believed to be a good, unconditional, offer immediately after the first weekend of open homes. With many years of selling houses on Birkenhead Point her instinct and local knowledge proved correct. Thank you Julie.

Julie went out of her way to accommodate our busy working hours with extra viewings, and made the purchasing process as smooth as it could be, thanks again.

Julie was both professional and supportive during the process of selling my rental property in Birkenhead. This was of significant importance to me as I live in the Waikato. Julie recommended a first-class staging company, and a gardener who kept the grounds absolutely pristine. All prospective purchasers were relentlessly followed up and she kept me up-to-date with any interest in the property. Julie's knowledge of the North Shore market is impressive, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property.

Julie's calm, helpful leadership throughout the process of buying this lovely home was so appreciated. I had to ask her to repeatedly send links I had lost and repeatedly answer the same questions I had forgotten :) and she was always patient with me. Enjoyed getting to know her a little more the night of the building inspection. Thanks for helping me buy such a lovely house Julie - I'm glad you rang me back down the road, about it!

We had an excellent experience with Julie Shand, who handled both the sale of our Rugby Road apartment and the purchase of our new home on Titiwai Place. Using her database, she sold our apartment off-market quickly in January, giving us time and putting us in a strong position to buy with confidence. Julie helped us view several properties during our search, offering honest advice on what would suit our growing family. She is an agent you can truly trust—highly knowledgeable about the market, able to tailor her approach to your needs, and someone who gets the deal done. We would highly recommend her.

It was a smooth process working with Julie to secure our dream home due to her efficiency, communication and professionalism. We enjoyed her warm, friendly and factual approach as well as her industry knowledge on the area and buying process. We would recommend Julie as an agent to our friends and family.

Julie has been outstanding with her local market knowledge. We have discovered that it’s important to appoint an agent who truly knows the value of your area when selling. Julie’s communication and attention to detail has been excellent, before during and post the campaign.

Julie did an excellent job selling our house. She was professional, responsive, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. We were very happy with her work and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable real estate agent. Thanks again Julie!

Julie is an outstanding real estate agent! Her extensive experience truly shines through every step of the process, making what could be a stressful time feel remarkably smooth. She is an exceptional communicator, keeping us informed and updated consistently. What truly sets Julie apart is her wealth of knowledge and incredible ability to anticipate needs. We highly recommend her!
