Purchasers awaiting Settlement

After 4 years of searching for the right property in the Marlborough Sounds, Martyn has helped us achieve our goal. Martyn is a bloody good kiwi bloke with a great knowledge of the Marlborough Sounds. Having his own boat to transport us to view potential properties made it so easy compared to us having to rent sea taxi's in the past with other agents. Martyn gives his honest opinion and we trusted that he wouldnt sell us a lemon. He is professional and very helpful with all aspects of the purchase to date. We would definitely approach him in the future for any real estate needs.

Accomodating and helpful in our purchase

Accomodating and helpful in our purchase

It’s a 6 hour drive for us up to the Sounds and Martyn couldn’t have been more flexible or helpful in arranging a property viewing and then a pre-purchase inspection for us - really appreciate him being so accomodating! A true gentleman to deal with and I would certainly chose him if we were selling our property up here. Martyn also arranged a lot of paperwork for us from the vendors - his communication is excellent.

Goes Above and beyond the ordinary

Martyn really was the hidden asset to our sale. Going above and beyond an ordinary ‘land ‘ agents efforts by boating clients himself out to the property. This guy sure is a pro-active agent!. Martyn has fantastic communication,- he always kept us informed , put us at ease and we enjoyed a few good yarns too!. but his own extra time spent at work and his vast knowledge of the property and the area/location is invaluable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to work with Martyn as we would happily do so ourselves. Cheers Martyn

We have only praise for Martyn.

Martyn went the Xtra mile for us. Keeping us advised every step of the way. He remained positive despite the hurdles of the Kenepuru road plus the torrential rain rain rain and more rain. We are incredibly grateful to have Martyn as our agent, for he went the extra mile for us. We celebrated the sale with his gift of a truly delicious relish made by himself.

Martyn communicates well, is very professional and easy to talk to. This is the second property he has sold for us. Both properties had their challenges but you can rely on Martyn to complete the task. Thanks Marty.

I found Martyn easily the best real estate agent I have dealt with. He is extremely patient, provided regular updates and was readily accessible. On top of this Martyn knows the market very well, did a great job of managing expectations and delivered a result I was happy with.

Martyn was invaluable over the 18 months we were looking to purchase a property in Marlborough

Martyn was invaluable over the 18 months we were looking to purchase a property in Marlborough

Martyn was professional, honest and straight up front. We were searching over a period of approximately 18 months and he never once lost his enthusiasm or surety of finding us the right property. One must consider also that for most of our looking time we were living in Brisbane and so he would co-ordinate showing the properties in the time periods when we were going to be in New Zealand. If that wasn't enough, once we had decided to purchase our property and signed the agreement, all sorts of fish hooks popped up with council on the legal arena and Martyn gave 110 percent effort in assisting our lawyer with all of this. Now that we are approaching settlement and preparing to move in, Martyn is still there in the wings for us but we now consider him a friend. I now hold Martyn in the highest regard and would not hesitate to recommend him to others in the future.

I recently engaged Martin Birch to sell a second property of mine and couldn't be happier with the service I received. His professionalism, market knowledge, and attention to detail were evident once again. Throughout the process, he kept me informed, provided valuable insights, and expertly negotiated on my behalf. Selling a property can be stressful, but with Martin, it was smooth sailing. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent.

Fantastic real estate Agent

Martyn took us out in the sounds for the day. We had a great day out exploring sea based properties. He had lots of information he shared of the area. He also gave us good information if we brought a property such as barge cost, mooring and jetty requirements and water taxi and rough costs for these things. Martyn was very helpful both before our visit and after. He has supported us through our sale and we consider Martyn our first friend of the sounds :)
