When we were house hunting, before we had gone on the market, Ray recommended us to Team Ritchie from Harcourts to sell our home, who worked in our area. They were absolutely amazing and sold our house in a month. So, we were hunting for a new home, every night searching the internet, and every weekend open homing, and, as fate would have it, that cycled us back to Ray. We were looking to downsize for retirement. Ray contacted us and said he had looked at our current home listing and thought we might like a new one he had on in Waikanae. Waikanae wasn't really in our search area, but the moment we stepped into the cosy lounge and out into the beautiful garden, we loved it. Every other place, and there were so many, there was a feeling of how can we make this work? With this one, it was easy to proceed. Ray guided us in our offer, and quickly got us access for a builder's report. From seeing it on the Sunday, we had the house bought by Wednesday. We are very happy with the outcome and can't wait for settlement date to move in. It was a very positive experience all round. Well done Harcourts and well done Ray, and Paula, Alex and Adriana. We were in good hands and feel very grateful to you all. I loved that Ray was so proactive and thought of us when he got this listing. He was dead right. We love it! Having that broad spread of agents working across areas and communicating with each other, really worked for us. We're looking forward to move in date!!

I have dealt with Ray for many years professionally and I have found him to be a no nonsense straight up agent. None of my sales have been straight forward as they all related to deceased estates. Ray helped guide me through the process. I found him to be communicative, keeping me up to date with all interest and very helpful during the negotiations. I would not hesitate to use him again.

Ray was very helpful in selling the family property. Due to the market dropping it took longer and we did not get the price we were hoping for, but this is not a reflection on Ray. I would recommend Ray to any futture buyers and sellers, as his knowledge will be helpful for all parties.

Ray worked hard to sell my parents house. Kept us informed each week. Would totally recommend him.

Ray is a true professional, he guided us through the selling process and gave us some great advice. He kept us informed at all stages and we would highly recommend Ray.

Ray was friendly, quick to answer our questions and helped to guide us through the process. We would recommend him again without hesitation.

We had seen a couple of houses with Ray, and although they were not what we were looking for he listened to us and understood what we were looking for. He clearly understood the Waikanae housing market and seemed to have personal knowledge of a lot of the properties on the market. Then the phone call came, he said “I think I’ve got your next house” – and he was right. He was really helpful through the due diligence stage when the KCDC property files were incomplete, and managed to get all the missing files within 24 hours. During the negotiations between Buyer and Seller Ray was always available and professional in what he said – and what he didn’t say. He even helped us to complete the complex offer document. We have been very happy working with Ray to secure our next property.

Ray helped us find the property that best suited our requirements. He then helped us to successfully negotiate the purchase. His service was friendly, competent and always professional.

Again Ray has excelled in acheiving a sale for our property in what has been one of the most challenging markets for quite some time. Ray has an exceptionally professional approach and builds rapport with both his buyers and sellers alike. Highly recommended!
