We engaged Lorraine well in advance of our sale date and she then worked with us to ensure we presented our character home to its best advantage to enable a quick sale. Lorraine is very knowledgeable and has a calm manner which is perfect for a time when the process can be stressful. Lorraine understood our needs, and the needs of potential buyers, and worked all hours to be available at times to suit the buyer and ourselves to come to a good conclusion. She continued to follow up after the actual sale to ensure everything was in place for settlement.

Lorraine Young was recommended to us by our neighbour as being an amazing, thorough, committed, professional real estate agent. She did not disappoint! She was focussed on selling our house for the best price possible, she was realistic, always researched her advice and decisions. She was fantastic to help us prepare the house for sale, she knew every imaginable tradie we asked for, and had the prior relationships with them so that they actually turned up to do the work. When needed she was prepared to meet tradies at the house when we couldn't make it ourselves. I really loved how she was phenomenal with creating a wonderful narrative around our property, even when building inspections showed up some issues, she guided us to get the necessary work done, or suitable information to help the buyer. She is a wonderful genuine sales person, who takes her role seriously and ethically, showing your home to the right people, nurturing a sense of love of the property to the best buyers currently in the market. We sold at auction, a stressful event to say the least. The entire Bayleys team knew how to hold your hand through the process, especially on the day. Despite her need to focus on the buyers at the auction, she still made sure we felt comfortable, supported, and aware of where the process was at.

Lorraine was the best agent for our property. She totally “got” its special features and unique location. She remained positive throughout the sales campaign. Regular updates meant we did not receive any surprises as auction day approached. Thank you, Lorraine, for being on our side, no matter the state of the market.

Choosing an agent to sell our family home of 24 years was a big decision for us. We hadn’t met Lorraine before and from our first meeting we felt comfortable with Lorraine and we entrusted her with the marketing of our house. Lorraine ran a fantastic campaign. She took the time to truly understand our property and the campaign reflected the lovely and unique features of our home. Lorraine’s attention to detail to the the photos, marketing material etc was exceptional. She went to the trouble of convincing the NZ Herald to run a feature article on our property Lorraine ran a three weekend open home campaign. We had huge numbers through (158 groups). Lorraine kept us fully up to date on developments and actively worked prospective buyers. She devoted a lot of time and energy into the campaign. Three days before the auction, we had a sudden family death to deal with. Recognising the situation, Lorraine took control and managed the house process whilst we focussed on more important matters. On the day of the auction we were blown away by the final sale price. This was bittersweet given what had transpired three days earlier but much of the credit must go to Lorraine. We hope the buyers are as happy as we have been in the property. We made a wonderful decision in choosing Lorraine and would highly recommend her.

Lorraine was the ultimate professional in the sale of our house. She listened to our concerns about which sale process to pursue, told us she could deliver with our preferred approach and came through with an excellent result. Communication throughout the process was excellent including face to face meetings. We felt a real partnership in getting to the sale price we wanted. Lorraine was an absolute pleasure to work with and achieved a great result for us. We would highly recommend her.

Communication and professionalism as above. I am not able to judge her market knowledge because I am ignorant in this area.

I am delighted to have the chance to let other vendors know of my wonderful experience working with Lorraine on the sale of my home. I had not been in the market as a vendor or a buyer for a number of years and had experienced a devastating loss with a leaky building, and the resulting fall out. Because of my experience I was very nervous and a bit skeptical about entrusting the sale of my last asset to an agent, and fully anticipated the experience being an ordeal I had to endure. However Lorraine not only did an outstanding job in marketing and selling my property, demonstrating integrity, an exceptional work ethic and unfailing dedication to the task, but she restored my faith in the real estate profession again, and for both of those things I am truly grateful. She was very professional but also patient and kind, and it was interesting that one of my neighbours who came to view the property remarked on how unintrusive, yet helpful and knowledgeable she was. It is my pleasure to recommend Lorraine to any prospective vendor. She will leave no stone unturned for you and will achieve the very best possible price for your property that the market allows. And she will perform those duties with grace and calm conviction.

Lorraine was very knowledgeable and had great advice on how to market and sell our home. She was very professional, with excellent communication throughout the process. Lorraine was a pleasure to deal with and we are very happy with the sale.

Professional focussed agent.

Lorraine Young is a highly professional and meticulous real estate agent who is an expert in her field. She guided us through the entire process with calm reassurance and an in-depth knowledge of the market. Her attention to detail and thorough approach ensured that everything was taken care of seamlessly. I highly recommend Lorraine Young to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent.

Very professional an accommodating . We appreciated how Lorraine allowed us to view the property at times that were convenient for us ( not only open homes). She gave us space to make our own decision which we appreciate but was also always available to answer any questions we had . Thank you Lorraine
