I had been looking to purchase a property for over a year. Mark stood out with his knowledge of the property and very responsive action. The sale of the property was fully automated and incredibly easy particularly when making the offer. From viewing the property to purchasing was less than a month. I would highly recommend Mark Hardcastle if you wish to buy or sell a property.

53 Pomona Rd 15th January 2022 Ruby Bay, RD1 Upper Moutere 7173 Mark Hardcastle Tall Poppy Real Estate Tasman NZ Hi Mark, You have been a brilliant real estate agent for me. And, with confidence, I have recommended you to others planning to sell. During the whole sale process I found you to be diligent, utterly reliable, always pleasant and constantly available. You clearly and patiently explained the new rules now req uired of agents, including the Anti-Money Laundering clause, imposed by government, which I found extreme given that we ordinary householders clearly aren’t in this secretive tax evasion game. I became aware of the time you took to keep all parties who showed interest in purchasing this property well informed and kept me up to date with progress. I thank you for your professional care and attention to detail. All my requests were responded to quickly and always pleasantly, even when I was a bit demanding. And on several occasions you did more than you were required to do - for example you met the potential buyers in Auckland lawyer’s sudden demand, on the 16th December, to have yet another building inspector’s report, close to the Christmas break - and just half a day before their unconditional agreement for sale was expected to be confirmed. You spent hours at this very late stage to find an inspector willing and able to come - and, of course, immensely helped us all. That you are well grounded in the business and have many years of experience, along with high moral integrity, was very important to me, as I relied on you so much during this sale process. I think you know already just how grateful I am to have had you as my real estate agent. Yours sincerely, (Liz Griffiths)

Our experience with Mark was great He seemed very knowledgeable and professional Mark was with us thru the whole process and nothing was a problem Would definitely use him in either buying or selling a property

We had been looking to get back on the property ladder since selling up north just prior to the first Covid lockdown and had looked at multiple properties & Open Homes. What we have purchased is perfect & all thanks must go to Mark Hardcastle. He has been the consummate professional during the whole sale & purchase process & we sincerely thank him for his openness & integrity. Mark told the vendors “our story” & by going in to bat for us enabled us to finally purchase our forever home in a deadline sale process that we never ever expected to succeed in. Times are truly tough & it has been a true blessing to work with people who care to be kind. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mark worked well with us, kept us informed and worked hard to get a good result.

Mark gave the family an appraisal and explained everything to us He doesn't over promise and under deliver He takes care if all the details and sorts out the problems. Hard working with constant communication We have used Mark in the past and will still refer him to our friends We have found him to be one of the best agents around. He has a sense of humour but also has empathy and works hard to get you the best result If you're thinking of selling you have to consider Mark And he's a top bloke and very good at selling houses.

Mark made buying our property as easy as it was possible, from personally taking our offer instead of a internet alternative. We gained notice of our offer acceptance hours before we expected it and since then he fitted into our time schedule for final acceptance with an easy change. Since we have taken occupancy he has been in contact several times to ascertain there is no issues and after dealing with Mark I would not hesitate to recommend him to a future client.

Mark is a very experienced Real Estate Agent. He is incredibly thorough in his work attending to all detail to make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible. He is a very trustworthy person. You can feel very comfortable that he will do the best for you. Mark is very friendly and takes the time to make sure you understand everything and that you feel completely confident in the whole process. His follow up work is very impressive. Thank you for everything Mark.

From the very outset, my dealings with Mark have been excellent. His enthusiastic attitude and great communication skills brought about a very successful outcome. His integrity and honesty paved the way for a very stress free sale and I have no hesitation in recommending Mark. He is a delight to work with and brings forth excellent results in a very short time span.

Mark was a pleasure to work with. In the 7 months we have been viewing potential properties Mark stood out from all the other agents, and there were a lot! We felt so welcomed. He didn’t rush us and gave us his time. When a man like Mark gives you his word he means it. He earned our trust. Went above and beyond to do right by the us. That’s all we can ever ask. Mark is a very good man. A true gem in the realestate industry.

I have found Mark Hardcastle as a very efficient, proactive agent on this sale who produced 12 offers for consideration on this estate deadline sale. There was an excellent outcome and this was all helped by Mark going the extra mile in preparing a vacant house for sale; he even personally attended to the lawns and garden. It was clear Mark is an experienced and hard working agent

We would like to this opportunity to recommend Mark Hardcastle as a representative of Tall Poppy Real estate for his professionalism and commitment, which resulted in the sale of our home. Mark’s enthusiasm and dedication is what was required to sell our home in these tough economic times. His thorough approach to the market and his honesty provided us with the guidance we needed to set a price that was not only realistic but which we were comfortable. We not only had to weave our way through covid, but my wife had a stroke during this time, with out Mark’s help and guidance I would not have made it. He not only supported me but helped me to move furniture repaired holes in walls and offered to clean and tidy. I can not thank Mark enough and I would have no problems in recommending Mark to anyone thinking of selling. Don Horne 11 Joyce Place Richmond pinenui@gmail.com
