We want to express our sincere appreciation to Nick Hughes for his exceptional dedication during the sale of our home. Selling a property on a tight 10-day clause and quick settlement timeframe is demanding enough, but Nick’s diligence, clear communication, and professionalism shone through from start to finish. This transaction presented unique challenges, requiring a high level of patience and diplomacy to navigate contrasting expectations and intense contract conditions. Despite these pressures, Nick acted as a dedicated advocate for a fair and lawful outcome, maintaining complete composure and efficiency throughout. When questions arose surrounding building reports and site access, Nick worked seamlessly alongside legal counsel to ensure all contractual terms were strictly upheld while maintaining complete transparency. He brought immediate solutions to the table, including trusted, well-qualified trade contacts at a moment's notice to resolve matters on the spot. Nick’s expert problem-solving and steadfast guidance turned a high-stress situation into a successful result. We could not have asked for better representation. If you want a true professional who is honest, hardworking, and genuinely cares, call Nick!

Poor communication, poor form with communication of the sales and purchase agreement. Got a builder inspector report was denied access to get quotes for the work identified. Had to get my lawyer involved. There was a short 10 days working clause and quick settlement. Advised the client the report was false even know it was from a reputable builder. A experienced roof company agreed with the findings. I would advise based on my experience not to purchase a property with Nick or first national. Now they costing me more money as I have to go through lawyers now. Not fair, stressful and costly.

*constant errors in contracts needing them to be amended. *Breached our privacy on multiple occasions. *Used discriminatory language regarding sexual orientation. *Mislead us on the status of offers. *House sold for significantly less than CV *Complaints to First National ignored. *Overall feeling is Nick worked towards getting whatever commission he could rather than the best price for our property.

Great communication. Very helpful, especially as a first home seller. Successful sale in a tough market. Bespoke advice and approach. Would recommend and would work with Nick again.

I entrusted Nick with selling my house, and I cannot recommend him enough. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. He communicated clearly and consistently, keeping me informed every step of the way. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward.

Nick is a absolute legend

Nick is friendly, approachable and provides information clearly. Understands our preferences and available mostly.

Nick is very personable and presentable . He knows the New Plymouth market very well, our property was on leasehold land so our sale price expectation needed to be managed to meet the market. I think it was sold after 3 or 4 open homes from which we received comprehensive and prompt feedback from Nick Hughes after each one. Throughout the process he maintained professionalism , facilitating copy alterations at our request and as we were out of town during the sale , he even offered to keep a small patch of garden weeded. Thanks Nick job well done , we highly recommend your services 💐

great clear & helpful info & advice, very professional & personable, would recommend Nick & Co. Cheers dude.

I first met Nick at an open home that wasn’t quite the right fit for me. After chatting about what I was looking for, he quickly followed up with an off-market opportunity that suited me perfectly. Nick made the whole process stress free — he was great at communicating, was professional, and very easy to work with. I would happily recommend Nick to anyone looking for their next investment or home.

Thanks Nick for your work on this buying process!! Nick is an excellent communicator, very professional and has a calm, relaxed approach when going through a property and sales with you. He makes you feel comfortable, supported and gets you all the information right throughout sales process. He listens to your goals and wants to help you achieve what your vision is for a property. Thanks again Nick!!

We have again used Nick to sell our property and gone with all his recommendations which have now led to a successful sale. He is very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and totally dedicated to the task . We have no hesitation in recommending him for any property transaction.
