Exceptional communication and support that made selling our home stress-free.

Exceptional communication and support that made selling our home stress-free.

We had a fantastic experience working with Richard throughout the sale of our property. From start to finish he was approachable, professional and incredibly easy to deal with. Communication was one of Richard’s biggest strengths. He kept us updated on an almost daily basis via WhatsApp, ensuring we were always in the loop and knew what was happening at every stage of the process. We really appreciated how proactive he was and how readily available he made himself whenever we had questions or concerns. Selling a property can be a stressful experience but Richard did a wonderful job of taking a lot of that stress away. His friendly manner, regular communication and willingness to help made the entire process feel much more manageable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you for making the experience such a positive one!

New Property

New Property

Honestly, a very disappointing experience with Richard Knights from LJ Hooker Dunedin. Buying a property was a huge milestone for us, and we expected a lot more care and attention throughout the process. Instead, we moved into our new home with ridiculously overgrown lawns that hadn't been sorted before handover. It was a frustrating start to what should have been an exciting time. The $20 bottle of wine afterwards felt like a token gesture rather than genuine appreciation. We put a lot of money, trust and emotion into buying our home, and the service we experienced left us feeling undervalued as buyers. We expected bette attention to detail and pride in the overall experience. Unfortunately, this experience has left a very sour taste.

Epic Agent!

Epic Agent!

I don't know where to start.. from the beginning Richard was upbeat and positive. He impressed me as a buyer by phoning me within 15 minutes of my enquiry.. that's what made me chose him for this journey... And I'm so glad I did! He managed to pull an ace out of the hole and bring together an epic deal for me in the sale of my home. For anyone considering selling.. don't hesitate to get Richard, you won't regret it!

Clarity and Compassion

Clarity and Compassion

Selling a family home can be an emotional experience and this was amplified for us by a recent bereavement. Richard understood this and continued to communicate clearly and listen kindly throughout the process. At no point were we in the dark about what was to happen next or what outcomes we might expect. Richard also advised how we could approach the challenges the property presented and what a potential buyer might wish to see. When auction day came and through the subsequent negotiations, were always felt well-informed and well represented. Richard’s positive spirit, clarity of communication and warmth have left a lasting impression.

Excellent agent from beginning to end

Richard was a huge help in selling my dad’s house. He knew exactly what to do and I did not have to worry about anything . I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone. He managed to sell very quickly which shows how good he is with people.
