Straight-talking, hard-working, lateral-thinking agent; exacting standards; compassionate heart.

Straight-talking, hard-working, lateral-thinking agent; exacting standards; compassionate heart.

From the 'get-go', Neal showed his massive experience in bringing our heritage 1880s property to the market. Missing the mark four years ago in a falling market, was tough for us all, but this time he succeeded at lightning speed, offering us an off-market listing with no marketing costs! And getting a price above RV. We appreciated the Sothebys style of management where qualified buyers are shared across agents; it was a real asset having an agent for the buyer and Neal for us the vendors. Excellent negotiation skills. Plus, Neal has a great gift for staging and takes pride in presenting your home as if it were his own.

Goes the extra mile and another mile after that.

Goes the extra mile and another mile after that.

Very happy with Neal’s great communication. He kept me in the loop on an almost daily basis. He is very professional, and follows up on everything. If he says he is going to do something, he does it. He did everything he could to assist me with finalising the move, which is a big thing when you are on your own. Took no time at all to sell my home. I was extremely happy and would recommend him to anyone.

Made our move to Napier feel easy!

Made our move to Napier feel easy!

Neal was an absolute pleasure to deal with and made our move to Napier feel genuinely welcoming from the outset. He represented the property so well that you’d be forgiven for thinking it was his own. The house was beautifully presented, clearly well cared for, and Neal’s knowledge of it was detailed and practical, which gave us real confidence as buyers. We were working to a tight and fairly immovable timeline, and Neal was incredibly accommodating, calm, and solutions-focused in helping us make it all work. Communication was warm, clear, and consistent throughout, and the whole process felt well supported rather than transactional. Buying a home can be stressful, but Neal’s approach made it a very positive and enjoyable experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Napier area.

Above and Beyond Service Level

Above and Beyond Service Level

I have used Neal to sell my house as I bought it from him too. As both the purchaser and the vendor he made everything happen and made it easy for me. Happy to get in the middle and have conversations with all involved to smooth the way with a very practical how can we make this happen approach. Then there is his sense of style both interiors and landscaping that will help to make a property attractive to as many people as possible - great ideas and they certainly made a difference. His knowledge of the Hawkes Bay market and how it sits within the wider national market and therefore who the target market for the property is extremely helpful too. This proved to be 100% accurate in the case of selling my property. He is creative and realistic in the marketing approach, making sure we spend the right amount to sell without overspending unnecessarily. I would trust Neal every time to negotiate the best possible outcome for both parties, whether selling or buying. I couldn't recommend Neal highly enough to sell your property, he will get the best price possible in whatever market you are selling in!

Staying Power!

Neal was an excellent real estate agent to work with. Our property took quite a while to sell due to it’s uniqueness and price point in a dull market. However he remained dedicated and professional throughout the entire process. His perseverance and steady communication made a real difference. We’re very grateful for his hard work and commitment. Would definitely use him again.

Wonderful support and care

Wonderful support and care

Neal was excellent to deal with as we made an offer on what will soon become our new home. Neal was wonderfully supportive as we learnt about the property and went through the offer and purchase process. Never pushy and always positive, he helped wherever he could and made himself available for us when we had questions. I look forward to inviting him to the house to see the changes we plan to make as his support for us and interest in the property felt very genuine. Thank you Neal.

Simply the Best Agent 👌🏻

Simply the Best Agent 👌🏻

I am extremely happy with the experience I recently had working with Neal Anderson to sell my house. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the full process. In addition, Neal exhibited a deep understanding of the market and offered sound advice on pricing and strategy. Thanks to his marketing expertise, we received strong interest and sold the property in around six weeks. What truly sets Neal apart is his impeccable professionalism, clear communication, work ethic and genuine care. He kept me informed at every stage, handled all details efficiently, therefore making what could have been a stressful experience feel supported and guided. Having previously experienced numerous other agents, then buying & selling with Neal, I highly recommend his expertise, integrity and decent ethics. No-one can come close to his level of duty and sense of achieving the best possible result on your behalf. You can trust that you will be in great hands. This gentleman seriously goes over and above an agents’ role. It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to review Neal’s performance.

Fantastic Experience with Neal – Reliable, Responsive, and Easy to Work With!

We were first-time homebuyers and couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Neal. He was super responsive, dependable, and always ready to tackle anything we needed—no matter how big or small. Neal made the whole process way less stressful and was always in our corner. Highly recommend working with him!

I cried...

I cried...

When in the rare situations I come across someone, or a service, or an action that was beyond the call of duty, or was more than I'd expect from another person, I find it moving. It deeply resonates with me. To experience someone caring about your needs, and consistently demonstrating integrity, grit, and a strong work ethic that is now, unfortunately, a dying art-form, is a beautiful thing. Neal embodies these things and more. I cried happy thanks when I explained this to him. I'm so pleased I chose him. And I would again.

Neal goes "above and beyond"

Neal goes "above and beyond"

Neal went above and beyond with every aspect of our purchase. Living 3 hours away proved difficult as we sought to buy a house without having local contacts to do the relevant assessments for tenancy options, building quality, Council documentation, insurance requirements and remedial work, but Neal was an absolute gem. He always answered questions with a genuine desire to help and navigated bumps with grace and optimism. Deciding to buy a house while away for the weekend after popping into its Open Home for 15 mins probably isn't the norm, but with Neal's support to ensure the process was smooth... we couldn't have felt more supported. We'd recommend Neal to anyone looking for a great real estate agent who takes the pain out of the process.
