Professionalism and integrity were the cornerstones of our experience with Marcel Mauel and Karen Close of Harcourts Blue Fern Realty, Titirangi. Their expertise, market knowledge, and insight into trends in a challenging selling environment proved invaluable. Our circumstances were somewhat unique, involving the sale of a deceased estate, with one vendor residing overseas, and a coordinated sale alongside our neighbours. Marcel and Karen's extensive network of developer contacts was a significant advantage given the size of the combined land parcel, resulting in several offers within days of signing the listing agreement. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes, engaging with prospective purchasers and skillfully managing the sales process. Their efforts culminated in an offer that satisfied all parties, and they successfully closed the transaction within a week. Communication throughout the process was exemplary. Marcel and Karen were always available to answer questions and promptly provide information or documentation whenever required. From our very first meeting, we felt comfortable and confident in their abilities. Although we had been approached by several agents from other firms, Marcel and Karen clearly stood out from the outset. We are delighted that we chose to work with Marcel and Karen. Whether you are buying or selling, we would highly recommend them as outstanding real estate professionals.

Both Marcel and Karen were professional and very understanding of our needs. They communicated honestly and promptly which we greatly appreciated. Got the job done in super quick time. We would highly recommend them.

This is our second house sale and our first with Marcel. He is a very easy agent to work with as he is open and transparent through every step, very knowledgeable about the industry and establishes excellent communication from start to finish. I couldn't ask for anything else and highly recommend his services (in fact I already have to multiple friends)!

From our first interaction through to our final dealing, Marcel has proven himself to be a person of immense integrity, whose knowledge, advice and close contact skills made our journey to selling our home a rewarding experience. This is the highest praise for someone I can offer, where the industry by its nature is largely transactional. Marcel chose to travel a different path, incredibly personable - like all agents - but then he stepped up a gear into a space where I could tell he had our family's best long terms interests at heart. He constantly went above and beyond the typical call of duty, and still does. I couldn't recommend anyone else in higher regard and know that should we ever look to sell again, he would be my first, and possibly only call. Astute. Dependable. Attentive. Insightful. And always acting with integrity.

Twice now Marcel has done an excellent job of selling my properties. His attention to detail is exemplary, as is his knowledge of the property market and also local socio- economic dynamics. Nothing is too much trouble. He deals with emerging problems quickly, efficiently and intelligently. A great analyst. The result of my property sale last Saturday was considerably above expectations.7

Marcel was a pleasure to work with when selling our property. He is very professional, has great communication and attention to detail. Would recommend to friends and family

Thank you Marcel for being honest and informative in your communication during the house viewings. This made us go ahead with this purchase knowing that everything that a buyer needed to know was communicated. "After sales service" and coordination has also been easy, and we owe you a big Thank you for all that you have done. Cheers and we wish you all success.

About three years ago I began to seriously consider my future. The possibility of retiring to the USA where my daughter and grandchildren live, was becoming increasingly important. Somehow, around that time, I made contact with Marcel Mauel. Marcel made a detailed assessment of my property. This was reviewed now and then as my circumstances changed. Marcel has always been highly professional in dealing with my situation. He has a comprehensive understanding of the housing market in West Auckland, and his attention to detail is exceptional. He understood well my 'bottom line' requirements and the resulting sale of the property fell neatly into the middle of his projected valuation band. I feel I have been well served by the manner in which Marcel handled the entire process.

From the first meeting in the park through to the conclusion of the sale of our investment property, we found Marcel to have a thorough knowledge of the property market especially the buyers such as the investors, developers and the land bankers. He was very efficient in guiding us through the pros & cons of marketing strategies and amending it to suit changed market conditions. He communicated clearly and on a timely manner. Marcel is not only a good communicator but also a good negotiator and very friendly person. He related well to all involved including the tenants. Thanks a lot for your support during the last couple of months and selling our property at a very good price. All the very best. We know who to call next time. Naren Mahant - Mahant Investments Ltd.

Marcel Mauel handled the successful sale of my Glen Eden home. He was at all times professional and never pushy. He understood where I was coming from and all through the process has given good advice and clearly explained each stage of the procedure.

Marcel from the first point of contact felt like he was passionate about what he does. His communication was excellent and he was always available to explain or answer questions. Most importantly he listens and respects your viewpoint. He is definitely our choice of agent gor any future sales. Thanks Marcel!

Marcel is totally in touch with the local market, he has sold two properties for me in the last three years with amazing results. I have no hesitation in recommending him to everyone!
