Layne went above and beyond and was a delight to work with.

Layne helped us through a tricky sales process and went the extra yards to ensure our house got sold.

I initially approached Julie Hurley of Harcourts, Khandallah, on recommendation of a family friend. Julie had moved to Auckland and she highly recommended Layne Hughes. Julie had chosen Layne to market her own house which was recommendation in itself. Layne was easy to work with most of the time, she had a very good market knowledge and communicated this well. Her Vendor's Reports were also very helpful. However, at the crucial time when the offer was presented we felt there was undue pressure to rush the decision as we were not allowed the time we had requested to talk together as a family. This negatively impacted on the final price we got for the house and this, combined with the downturn in the market meant the final result although we accepted it, was disappointing. We acknowledge it is not straight forward process, dealing with multiple parties when selling a house, so Layne did well under the circumstances.

We had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Layne to find our dream home. She went over and above the call of duty to ensure we had all the information we needed and that we weren’t kept in the dark. Constant communication and reliable updates are a hallmark of a great agent both of which Layne exemplify well. She supported us to create the best offer possible which didn’t need to be dollar focused. Her understanding of the sector and the market ensured our offer was successful. We’ve worked with many agents and none them have come near the level of professionalism and energy that Layne inspires. We absolutely recommend Layne’s services.

Layne helped us sell our house and then continued to help us find our perfect home. Layne was as invested as we were to help us get our dream house and we so appreciated having her as an Ally on our journey with us. She gave us advice to help put our best foot forward, based on her knowledge of the market and expertise. And it worked! We have our dream house and the starts aligned perfectly. We would definitely recommend Layne for both selling and buying.

Layne helped me into my first ever property. I am so grateful. When i viewed the property she had put her own personal touch on the viewing by playing music and burning candles. It made the experience so much more relaxed and enjoyable. She was kind, warm, helpful, professional and fully prepared with all of the documents i needed to make a fully informed decision. She was patient with all of my questions. Even dropping around a bottle of champange on successful purchase. I will defintely be trying to hold on to Layne for any sales / purchases in the future.

We could not recommend Layne more. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Her communication was perfect, giving us updates as we went along. She was patient with us while we worked through the troubles of the current market and we got the result we were after. We loved working with Layne and are recommending her to everyone we know.

We chose Layne, because of her energy, knowledge and enthusiasm for selling realestate. We had 100+ groups of buyers through our home. Layne worked tirelessly and provided us with quality detailed weekly reporting of buyer feedback. Come auction day we had 6 registered bidders and achieved a great result. Full credit to Layne, she has star qualities and we thoroughly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling.

Very helpful, communication was clear and quick. Went over and above to support us buying our first home.

Layne is an amazing real-estate agent. She is honest, committed to her work and cares deeply about the responsibilities she undertakes. Any real estate is lucky to have her and you are lucky if she is your agent. It was an absolute pleasure working with her. I highly recommend Layne and think anyone who has her as their agent should consider themselves lucky. Thank you Layne.

Layne is very friendly and always there for any questions you may have. She is always ready to answer any questions be it logical or otherwise. She always makes schedule for us for several visit requests and you can feel her really concerned and helping us in getting the property and not just getting the quick sale!
