Great support, good selling skills

Thank you for helping us sell the house with a good price. Punish and Anna have been very supportive and always responded to our inquiries in a timely manner. They have been very open to us regarding market information and very patient when explaining things to us.

Huge thanks to Punish - you made selling our house stress-free

You don’t know what you don’t know when you are selling a house for the first time. From our very first meeting with Punish, we felt we were in safe and experienced hands. We were confident that he would guide us through every step of the process, from that first conversation right through to the moment we had a signed, unconditional contract. Punish was completely open and honest about how he would market our property: what was necessary, what wasn’t, and what would genuinely help achieve the best price. We particularly appreciated that he didn’t try to “upsell” us on extras that might look good but weren’t essential. He took the time to talk through different selling options and understood our hesitation about going to auction. Because we wanted to minimise stress, he worked with us to find an approach we were comfortable with, rather than pushing a strategy that didn’t suit us. Throughout the process, Punish went above and beyond. He was more than willing to go to the property to let people in, oversee work, and make sure everything stayed on track. He also recommended reliable tradespeople and services that helped us prepare the house for sale without unnecessary hassle. Selling a house can feel overwhelming, but Punish made the entire process feel manageable. We always felt well informed, supported, and confident that our best interests were being looked after. We would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking about selling their property. He is definitely worth 5 stars!

Best agent on the North Shore

Couldn't have worked harder for the clients. While many other agents offered assistance Punish actually did. He also tells it straight and without any of the real estate BS that you sometimes get.
