Alwyn and I first met up with Katie and Sharon From Ray White Real Estate in Orewa after I gave them a call to come to our home and give us an appraisal of our home here at Stanmore Bay. We hadn't sold a property for 14 years and things have certainly changed .. We chose the auction process for us as the market was changing all the time. There first reaction was " whats up with those kitchen green walls . We had renovated the rest of our home and then run out of steam. We renovated our kitchen, painted walls to match the dinning room. Took off the cupboards doors painted, new door handles to match the rest of our home new appliances, and WOW it did the trick. when the girls came back they where amazed and told us so. Declutter your home and you stage it, like you want it to look. One piece of advise is listen to Sharon and Katie. There local knowledge and how things worked was explained to us in detail Sharon and Katie kept us up to date of interested parties. Due to there work we had an amazing amount of interest in the property. We had a pre auction offer which exceeded expectation, auction was brought forward and a very active auction followed. Sharon and Katie where so happy for us, but they had worked so hard to achieve our goal, and theres as well. Thank you both so much for your advise and knowledge you shared with us the seller and the buyers. We would highly recommend them to family and friends. Sue & Alwyn Blackley. Stanmore Bay.

Sharon, Kirk and the team are super professional, excellent communicators with great market knowledge. They came in with a plan to sell the house and executed it flawlessly. Got us a good price in a struggling market, and wasted no time in getting it done. Highly recommend this team to sell your house!

I loved the photos they organized of the house.Also the marking of the home as it didn't take that long to sell.

Friendly and professional throughout from first viewing, negotiation and offer signing. Never felt pressured. Comms since going unconditional continue to be friendly and informative.

Well priced could always be cheaper

Being located in the area they demonstrated a very strong knowledge of the local market and potential buyers. Communication and consultation were excellent, and great back up provided by the sales and administration teams.

I appreciated her gentle sense of humour and attention to detail. Most off all her patience with my unorthodox work schedule . Her timely responses and follow through made this entire experience a pleasure. I always felt that Sharon was alongside every step of the way.

Recently had Sharon, Kirk and their team handle the sale of our property. Throughout the whole process Sharon and her team have been an amazing guide for the process whether it be dealing with the marketing or late night phone calls handling logistics. Prompt communication, proactive in approach to all parts of the process and acting as a great representative for us and the property made life so much easier.

Sharon's gentle yet very professional manner steadied me as I navigated the ups and downs of my sale and purchase. Sharon's knowledge, attention to detail, experience as an agent and her strong negotiation skills are an asset to any potential customers. This was demonstrated in the firm yet calm way my sale was executed. Never pushy, or rushing me or a potential purchaser, served only to increase my trust and confidence that the process was in safe hands. Following the loss of a desired purchase Sharon went out of her way to find me alternatives. Sharon is an agent that follows through right to the very end, not dropping out once the sale is done (as has been my experience in the past). Thank you Sharon, you have restored my faith in real estate agents! Catherine

Selling our home at 48 Clansman Terrace, Gulf Harbour was never going to be straightforward. We had a fabulous property, but its sheer size and unique features meant it needed a very specific type of buyer, in what has been a super-challenging real estate market. Right from the get-go, Sharon and Kirk Maxwell, Lynne Tayler and their team from Ray White understood exactly what was required. They developed the right sales strategy, produced outstanding marketing that showcased the home beautifully, attracted excellent numbers of prospective buyers through the property, and managed every aspect of the campaign with impressive efficiency and professionalism. But as the sale progressed, what really set Sharon and the team apart was their depth of experience. We chose them in the first place because of Sharon's reputation and track record. We believe the true value of an exceptional real estate agent isn't always obvious when everything is going smoothly. It comes to the fore when situations become more complex. Throughout the trickier stages of the process, they brought sound judgement, patience and genuine skill, working tirelessly to navigate the details, keep all parties engaged, and help everyone reach an outcome that worked. Their tenacity, resilience and calm approach were instrumental in securing the right buyer under circumstances where less experienced agents may well have fallen short. On top of all that, the team were simply a pleasure to work with. They were always responsive, positive and incredibly easy to deal with, making what could have been a stressful process feel well managed from beginning to end. Their professionalism, integrity and character gave us confidence at every stage. We couldn't be happier with the result and we'd wholeheartedly recommend Sharon and the team to anyone selling a home, particularly if it's a property that requires experience, strategic thinking and the ability to deliver when the stakes are highest.

I just purchased my home with the help of Lynne Tayler and I couldn't be happier. Lynne was very professional, organised and always available to answer any of my questions. I was the most impressed with how Lynne made a typically stressful process completely seamless. Thank you Lynne for helping me purchase my new home. I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting a dedicated and skilled real estate professional.

Lynne promptly kept me up to date with attendances at the open homes and feedback from prospective buyers and Sharon quickly kept me up to date with negotiations with the buyer. A very smooth sale process.
