Choose Layne - no pain, all gain

Choose Layne - no pain, all gain

We chose Layne because of her outstanding communication skills. She was great to work with, and we were happy with our choice at every stage. We didn't think the house would sell in these market conditions but Layne got it done. There was so much we didn't know and she answered all of our questions knowledgeably and professionally. She was so easy to talk with and fun to run through all the scenarios. We really appreciated Layne's honesty throughout the process as we made tricky decisions. We liked that she didn't sugarcoat it but was direct in her relentless optimism. It was just what we needed.

Completely committed! Went over and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend Layne for your sale!

Layne was passionate about selling our property. This was not an easy sell as we did not have the best builders report to make this easy. I think most real estate agents would have only given token effort to make the sale once we found out the challenges to sell. However, Layne ran open homes every weekend over the months it took to sell. Layne also conducted private viewings during the week and even over public holidays. She 'had a nose' for interested parties, and kept in touch with them which resulted in a sale from a person who visited the property months before the sale. She worked hard for this sale and I would highly recommend Layne for anyone who is in the market to sell their property. Would highly recommend!

Great experience

Great experience

We were selling the property remotely so it was difficult for us to be on site. However, Layne's professionalism and dedication made the process very straight forward. Her industry knowledge is exceptional and her competence in working through the process, very reassuring. She provided good advice, a comprehensive marketing plan, communicated with us well and made sure we were always informed on progress. She exceeded expectations in making sure the property was always well presented to potential buyers and her relaxed and approachable personality made her very easy to work with and have confidence in. We would positively recommend Layne to anyone looking to sell a property in the Wellington region.

Best agent in Wellington city - Layne Hughes

Best agent in Wellington city - Layne Hughes

We couldn’t have asked for a better partnership with Layne Hughes and Andrew Fanning. Layne worked so hard for us, keeping us informed and involved at every step of the sale process. We trusted her implicitly. She was a fabulous communicator and was really personable. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she guided us through the sale process with ease. There were also big bonus points for the love she had for our cat Frankie! We would highly recommend Layne to anyone looking to sell or buy a house and if we have the opportunity again we would use Layne in a heartbeat.

A real star!

A real star!

Layne has been excellent as a real estate agent. Since the first time we went to view the property she was super informed about the house and knew all the details, she was bubbly and kind which helps when deciding to put in an offer. She cared about all the small things even helping us to vision TV placement and baskets for storage, she also met up with us especially so we could put the sold sign on and take photo (as first home buyers it was nice to capture a memory of this milestone), for pre-inspection Layen was there with bells on and everything ready to go for us. Thank you so much Layne you have been so helpful and kind throughout and for tērā we are very grateful - we highly recommend Layne she is a real star!! Aphiphany & Peter

Katie and Layne provided very helpful and supportive services with every steps for the marketing.

Katie and Layne provided very helpful and supportive services with every steps for the marketing.

Every moment from the beginning of the marketing, I felt very easy and comfortable with Layne and Katie's well organized supporting including nice presentation, every detailed advises for selling and even physical helping for gardening...etc. It was a bit longer journey until getting sold the house compare to my expectation, however, fortunately I've got so positive and confident energy from them during the whole journey which means they worked very professional and wisely. The communication has been so wonderful and smooth between me and them and also I've got very prompt feedback whenever I needed. I really appreciate to Layne and Katie for the lovely assistance and big helping!! They worked really well and awesome. They are super friendly, trustable and professional agents in my experience!

Layne was very professional and knowledgeable and we knew we were in good hands right from the beginning. Her positivity and friendliness made the experience smooth and enjoyable, which we really appreciated after a not so great experience with another agency prior to teaming up with Layne. We highly recommend Layne!
