Lorraine knowledge of the housing market and her skill as a real estate agent made it really easy to choose her to market my property in Takapuna. She followed up with every enquiry and kept me up to date with viewers and potential buyers over the course of the marketing. Her patience with the buyers endless questions and her tenacity to find the answers gave her great knowledge of the property, which I am sure gave the buyers confidence in what they were looking at. I totally recommend Lorraine to sell any property; you would not be disappointed

From our first contact with Lorraine after having been recommended to her, we were drawn by her warm professional manner. She understood not only the current market but also the special character of our home, helping to further maximise its appeal to buyers. Our needs were listened to, we were kept informed at every step and our queries rapidly responded to, even late in the evening. Of particular note, was her experience, skill and personality that rapidly steered us through a stressful and complex council consent process. Lorraine developed a superb marketing plan, negotiating us through the pre-auction offer maze to achieve an undisputedly successful outcome at auction. From first meeting to settlement day Lorraine has been there. We recommend her to any prospective vendor with absolutely no hesitation.

“You are the force behind our tremendous, good fortune today. We found you to be professional, passionate, resourceful and completely stunning. You were always caring and informative, thoughtful and committed to help both us and the purchasers. Our result today was due to the Lorraine factor!”

Lorraine came highly recommended, and I am extremely grateful for the way she handled the very successful sale of our property today. The campaign was handled with professionalism at every step. Her clear communication, and straightforward approach to selling our home, made the process stress free. Lorraine is always professional and respectful, and the fantastic results she achieves are a testament to her hard work.

We are profoundly grateful for the outstanding result Lorraine Young achieved for our family home today. After retiring from a 35-plus-year plus career in real estate, we were confident to leave all the details to our selected agent Lorraine Young. I’d worked with, or known, almost every real estate salesperson in Central Auckland over my career, and there was only ever going to be one choice for us. Lorraine’s thorough attention to detail from the photography, to the copy and marketing, and to managing all our buyers’ needs demonstrated her professionalism and expertise. She had the experience to have our home ‘sail through’ the Code Compliance Certificate process prior to our auction and gave our buyers the confidence to purchase, even late at night prior to our auction date which was ‘brought forward’ as a result of an excellent offer we had accepted. Still, that pre-auction offer ‘number’ wasn’t good enough for Lorraine. We witnessed her tireless efforts in continuing to shepherd our buyers for our ‘auction brought forward’, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars more than we had hoped to achieve. Her performance and care is total commitment to a vendor, that not many agents carry through to the end. The extra commitment Lorraine Young gave for our property sale meant more than ‘just the extra’ we received. Thank you, Lorraine, from the bottom of our hearts. We always said that you would be the one to list our home, and today you have unequivocally reminded us as to why.

“I first met Lorraine Young 3 1/2 years ago when I was looking to purchase a home she was marketing. Lorraine had already made a lasting impression as an ‘agent extraordinaire’. When my parents’ home of 54 years required marketing recently I remembered Lorraine and invited her to appraise the home. Her very professional, yet relaxed and approachable manner still shone. Lorraine conducted a highly successful marketing campaign for the home, at all times keeping me informed of how things were tracking. She was 100% committed from day one until settlement day. I felt complete confidence listing the property with her and believe she demonstrates the highest level of integrity in her profession, as her records show. I do not hesitate in giving my recommendation to any prospective vendor to engage Lorraine, you will not be disappointed! And Lorraine - Thank you again.”

Lorraine was very professional and made the sale and auction process easy, pleasant and successful.

Lorraine is a very astute and knowledgeable real estate agent She is extremely well presented in an understated way. Lorraine is a very calm,gentle and personable woman who is not after a quick sale. I would highly recommend Lorraine for someone who is nervous or concerned about selling their beloved home.

We would just like to say thank you and well done for selling our property. Your work ethic is to be applauded and I’m sure we will be using your services again. You kept us well informed and dealing with the tricky customers saved us from doing it (!). You did show us the real benefit of using the best professional sales team. Once again thank you.

“It is with great pleasure to have this opportunity to recommend Lorraine as a Real Estate Agent whose professionalism, skill and honesty is outstanding. For the second time we have had the benefit of Lorraine marketing a property for us. There is no doubt the successful sale of both properties was down to Lorraine. Her understanding of market conditions and needs for the property’s sale was very apparent. It was very clear to us that Lorraine was very robust regarding full disclosure to the buyer. Which clearly demonstrated a professional in all respects. We have no hesitation in recommending Lorraine to others and if the occasion should arise, Lorraine would be the first person, we would contact to sell a property for us.”

Lorraine was always the consummate professional – calm, organized, clear and concise in explanations, provided regular updates on progress and went the extra mile in following up leads and securing offers on my property. She came to me highly recommended by friends who had sold 2 properties with her as their agent. I would not hesitate to endorse her to my friends and family in the future and in fact have already done so.
