We met Oana Simmons in late April 2021. Her name was shared by a satisfied couple, she was highly recommended. Our testimonial will show how this recommendation was fully deserved. We came to Papamoa wanting to buy a home on a “hot” sellers’ market, no one in the real estate trade seemed very interested in us, our needs or our money. Then we met Oana and everything changed! We felt important to Oana as people not just purchasers. She listened to us. She helped us navigate the options – work commute versus lifestyle location. Oana went above and beyond our expectations, constantly amazing us with her dedication to the task. She held our hands throughout, arranged and took us to viewings, debriefed us, recommended a lawyer, helped with documents as we hadn’t unpacked our printer or scanner, so she was practical and helpful. Kept us real, kept us positive and motivated, coached and supported us. We delegated the task of bidding to Oana at the auction. The result: Within two and a half weeks we have been successful - purchasing a beautiful home at our first auction. Right location, house, price. We were stress-free and relaxed throughout the process (apart from the auction day jitters). This success is a testament to Oana’s skills and dedication to our quest throughout the process. Oana changed our buying experience from being fearful and frustrated to positive and confident. Her effective and efficient actions along the way smoothed the process.Her personal commitment to us soothed our emotions and kept us focused and calm. Heartfelt thanks Oana, your help meant the world to us. Warmest regards Mary and Gary Higham
