Excellent!

Oana has known my mother for many years so naturally when it came time to relocate from Palmerston North to Papamoa I gave her a call. She was so helpful every step of the way and was our main source of knowledge on how to buy and also sell our existing property. She gave us great advice and also actively looked for properties for us that she knew we would like, no time wasting.. As we had none to spare! On our 3 day trip in Papamoa we found and purchased our amazing new home thanks to Oana. I would happily recommend Oana’s services to anyone.

Oana is Exceptional !

Oana is Exceptional !

I found Oana to be very proactive and professional. She first appealed to me as she was proactive in asking me to sell my house through Harcourts (along with her business partner Kelly Batchelar), when I met them at an open home. I thought that if she is showing to me that she is proactive, then I want her to sell my house! This assumption proved to be true, as she enlisted me quickly giving me all the information that was required, and then organised the sale process very efficiently. She contacted a list of potential buyers before the house was even on the market. This gave a quick result whereby I received a very good pre-auction offer from one of those buyers after being on the market for a week. I accepted this offer, with her knowledgeable help on this huge decision and do not have any regrets. She was not pushy and gave me great guidance. She also paid great attention to detail and followed up the sale professionally with everything that needed to be taken care of until the settlement date. Oana continued her wonderful service finding the perfect home for me to buy! She was just as proactive in this process, contacting other real estate agents of houses I was interested in viewing and spending time in viewing them. She was helpful in giving her honest opinions of the houses I looked at. She was very customer focused and made herself available for viewing homes at any time! She understood what I wanted and went the extra mile to help me – nothing was too much trouble for her. I will recommend Oana to everyone I know. Thanks so much Oana, I really appreciate all your work. You are an exceptional agent! 5+++ stars.

To Kelly and Oana, Ron and I would like to thank you very much for all your wonderful help and advice in the sale of our house at 18 Tynan Street Te Puke and the purchase of our new property at 34 Mcleod Place Papamoa. You popped into our lives at an open home in Papamoa and seemed to fit the bill. Our house was yours throughout the open homes and you accepted our very noisy dogs every time. You were honest and professional in all aspects and we would recommend you to anyone wishing to sell or purchase a property.

Vendors review

Over the last few years, Belinda and Oana have kept us in touch with current house values and when we finally decided to list our house we felt comfortable appointing them as our agents. We were impressed by their natural, straightforward manner in explaining the sale process. At all times they were available for any of our queries which were promptly responded to. They organised and ran the Open Home days efficiently. We received a prompt and informative report on the visitors, including follow-up phone calls to gauge any further interest, queries or comments. They were always available if we requested a meeting to discuss any issues. They effectively handled the negotiations from the initial offer to acceptance of the final offer, helping us through this difficult stage. We would not hesitate to recommend Belinda and Oana to anyone. They are friendly, efficient and a pleasure to deal with.

Oana was an excellent communicator who had a good grasp of the local market.

Oana was an excellent communicator who had a good grasp of the local market.

Oana saw us through the trauma of selling with dignity & great personal warmth. In our opinion, Oana was even better than a “consummate professional”, in that she first and foremost looked after our individual feelings in the complex process of selling. At our average age of 76 years, we had very different mindsets from when we were younger. Oana was always conscious of our worries and anxieties during the selling phases. She never left our meetings until she had checked with both of us separately that we understood the situation & were happy. We appreciated this care above all other aspects of the sale.

Very thoughtful agent helping buyers to find the most ideal house

Very thoughtful agent helping buyers to find the most ideal house

Oana has had a great insight into Tauranga housing markets, especially in Papamoa Beach and its surrounding suburbs. She understands the clients' needs very well and can recommend the most appropriate houses to accommodate the clients' needs. She helped me find the most ideal house in Papamoa Beach suburb at a time when there weren't many houses available in the market. She acted in a very professional and honest manner when helping me purchase my first house. She was very responsive and the communications between the vendor, her, and me were seamless. A big thank to Oana for helping m find my ideal first house in New Zealand.

Wonderful service, always with a happy smile.

Oana was so easy to deal with, so professional at all times. We are in our 80's and found it hard for us to deal with selling of our house. Oana helped us all the way through to make it easier for us. We would always recommend her to friends etc . She worked very hard and kept us in formed at all times.

Fabulous property sales agent Oana Simmons extremely highly recommended

Fabulous property sales agent Oana Simmons extremely highly recommended

Oana has been a wonderful agent for us. She has thought of everything, gone the extra mile, been considerate and kind to our tenants and also on the mark, and has communicated with me promptly and considerately about everything. She has never been pushy nor over-demanding but has quietly and persistently pursued getting each thing done that must be, gently but consistently reminding us as needed along the way, acknowledging our busy lifestyles. Oana is personable, wise and warm. We are really impressed with, and grateful to her. And she sold our house quickly!! We thought it was going to be months considering the current climate and market but she has expedited the process for us - and made it super easy for us too! Our huge thanks to Oana!
