We have now bought and sold with Lea and she has been excellent throughout. Great communicator, knows the area and provides great advice - felt she was working in our best interests at all times. Super happy with all outcomes. Would strongly recommend Lea to others.

Lea was excellent to deal with, and very responsive. We had to travel to view the house so needed flexibility around times which she was happy to accommodate. Great communication. We were so impressed we are now using her to help us sell our house!

I can't fault Lea in her professionalism, friendliness and efficiency. She kept us informed about every development and was prompt with calls and emails. Her reliability was crucial during the closing stages, ensuring a smooth transaction. Highly recommended, thank you Lea.

Unfortunately we put our house on the market while we were overseas and we thought this would cause problems but Lea made this process so simple. She was so quick to reply to messages and took a lot of stress out of the process with her excellent communication. Lea gave us updated information on the market and changed her sales method accordingly which I believe got us such a good result. She consulted with her team throughout the process gathering other expert opinions. This gave us confidence that we were making the right informed decisions. She was entirely professional and we would certainly be using her again.

Lea made the process of buying our beach house seamless through her open and reliable communication, market knowledge, experience and attention to detail. The buying process was kept exciting because of this which was a real delight.

When you are wanting to sell your property, your Agent is so important. Your Agent represents you and is an essential link to the market. Lea Jurkovich from Bayleys Whitianga has a quiet reassuring manner. Very experienced and understands how property should be presented to the market. We found Lea always there for us, she kept us fully informed and gave us encouragement. Selling a house at the moment is a bit of a roller-coaster ride and Lea was definitely our saviour. She always maintained helpful and empathetic contact with prospective buyers. We have no hesitation in recommending Lea Jurkovich. She is a lovely person and so professional. Bayleys Whitianga are a very good office to work with and we are very happy with how they looked after us. John Turnbull and Annemieke McDonald

I am writing to provide a reference for Lea Jurkovich Bayley’s Coromandel New Zealand, who recently facilitated the sale of a property where my role was the project manager. In my role of overseeing the intricacies of this particular property, I had the opportunity to closely observe Lea’s work throughout the sales process. The property in question presented numerous challenges, including an overseas owner and a location directly on the beach, which can often introduce complexities to the selling process. However, I found Lea to be exceptionally adept at navigating these challenges with professionalism and finesse. One of Lea’s most commendable qualities was her strong communication skills. From the initial stages of listing the property to the final negotiations, she kept all stakeholders informed and engaged, ensuring that everyone was on the same page throughout the process. This open line of communication fostered trust and confidence among all parties involved. Furthermore, Lea demonstrated a high level of organization, and attention to detail. She meticulously followed up on leads and diligently coordinated viewings. Her thoroughness and efficiency were instrumental in keeping the process moving forward smoothly. Despite the inherent challenges associated with the property's location and ownership situation, Lea remained steadfast in her commitment to achieving a successful outcome. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we were able to achieve a favourable result that exceeded the owner’s expectations. In summary, I would highly recommend Lea to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable real estate professional. She possesses the qualities of effective communication, organization, and perseverance that are essential for navigating complex real estate transactions successfully. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information or clarification regarding Lea’s performance. Gerry Glover

Selling our family bach was such a big step for us. We’d owned it for 17 years, and had many happy memories of holidays there. Lea was so respectful of this history and guided us gently with warmth and empathy throughout the whole sale process. She went above and beyond a typical real estate agent’s duties – she staged our house beautifully, communicated frequently and even made dinner (and a log fire!) for a couple who drove to and from Auckland one rainy, cold night to view the property. She built strong relationships with potential buyers and managed the difficult balancing act of achieving a sale price that both we and the buyers were delighted with. Ultimately we felt that we hadn’t lost the bach, but had simply passed it on to the next people who committed to love and treasure it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lea to anyone considering selling their property. Sue Burnett

Lea was a thorough joy to work with, right from her initial visit with us in August through to the exciting auction result. She never over promised and always over delivered. She quietly toiled away working with all the purchasers and kept us informed almost daily. Our phones were so busy she'll be pleased I've gone! I was impressed with her thoughtful answers and solutions to my queries and her diligent business approach to all the legal matters. No box was left un-ticked I have bought and sold over 14 homes over the years and Lea stands out as the most professional salesperson I've ever worked with. There's been some goodies too: Wallace's, Rainbow, MacDonald to name a few. The outstanding result is testament to her passion and dedication to the job. Richard also brought a very relaxed and professional and approach to the table and we also appreciated his visit to the Bach a few weeks ago. His experience gave us confidence and he did a marvellous job on the floor at the auction to achieve a result far above what we ever expected. You have a fantastic team Mary. Kind regards Pete Adams

Lea did a fantastic job of selling our Cooks Beach property. We were encouraged to seek her out on the recommendation of a number of people in the area and within minutes of meeting her we knew we wanted her to represent us. From the outset she told us it wouldn't be easy as there were some complicating factors with the property however she went on to explain the options and strategies available to us and the way she would approach marketing etc. We went through many ups and downs, including a global pandemic!, but the whole way through Lea remained positive, reassuring, encouraging and professional and always sought out the positive in difficult situations. By the end of the process we felt like she was a part of the family. Lea is one of the hardest working and most committed people I've met. She never gave up on us and never allowed us to give up either. If you are looking for someone to sell your property I can't recommend her enough!

“We recently sold our holiday home in Hahei. It wasn’t an easy decision to make after enjoying 27 happy years of family holidays. We engaged Lea Jurkovich of Bayleys to undertake the marketing and selling of our house. We did have our reservations at the beginning as Lea didn’t have a local office in Hahei but soon realised she had the support of a larger professional team based in Whitianga utilising an enormous database throughout NZ. Her dedication and commitment throughout the whole campaign was a major contributor to a successful outcome. I would have no hesitation to recommend Lea to any prospective clients. You will be in good hands. Trish and Gary
