Down to earth service

Down to earth service

Manu was great to deal with. I was a first home buyer who had already encountered many pushy salespeople by the time I met Manu, so his down to earth approach was appreciated and definitely a factor in me eventually purchasing the property I purchased. Big Hat, Flash shoes - down to earth approach. Cheers Manu!

Friendly down-to-earth agent

We had a great experience of buying our new house with Manu. We found him friendly and relatable with great communication. He was happy to answer all our questions and meet us at the house for multiple visits when we needed to measure fridge space etc. We would happily recommend Manu again for buying or even selling.

Outstanding Service from Start to Finish

Manu was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the sale of our home. His communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring from start to finish, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. He demonstrated strong market knowledge and gave us great advice at every stage. We always felt well-informed and confident in the decisions we were making. Manu went above and beyond to achieve a great result, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Outstanding Service and Results from Start to Finish

I had a great experience working with Manu. He came highly recommended to me, and he absolutely lived up to that recommendation. From the outset, Manu went above and beyond to help get the property ready for market, offering practical advice and support that made a real difference. His proactive approach and communication were really valuable and important for me being overseas. Once the property was listed, Manu did an excellent job generating strong interest, which ultimately led to a great outcome on price. His communication was clear and consistent, and he handled everything in a professional and efficient manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Manu to anyone looking to sell their property.

Another Sold

We’ve worked with Manu Otene again and he’s nailed it once more, getting another one of our new McKain Lane properties sold. Manu’s way of doing things is spot on – no mucking around, just gets the job done. Easy to deal with, straight shooter, and keeps the process simple from start to finish. We’ll definitely be using Manu again and would recommend him to anyone wanting an agent who delivers.
