Review for Richard Laery

Richard Laery is a true professional. Plenty of people talk themselves up but Richard is the real deal. From the very first time meeting Richard I knew he was the person I wanted to sell my house. We started looking to sell two years ago and Richard helped us understand what we should be focusing on from the very onset. With his help he guided us every step of the way and brought in other equally talented people to help make the sale successful. We also couldn’t have done this without the additional help of his wife Susie who works seamlessly alongside Richard bringing other skills to fruition. Honesty Integrity Passion Experience Market Understanding are all words I would use to describe Richard and Susie and we are so grateful for all their help along the way. Buying and Selling a house can be a very stressful time for most people - I am thankful that we didn’t feel very pressured and each step along our journey was calculated and explained in full detail. On closing I would fully endorse Richard and Susie Laery to help you sell your property - you will not regret it. Regards Ian and Alex

To Whom it May Conceern at Bower.

Richard and Susie Laery recently sold our Mount Maunganui property at a price which exceeded our expectations. We apprecated the ongoing, close communications with Richard and Susie which assisted us in preparing our home to have the best appeal to prospective buyers. We also acknowledge Richard's understanding of how the market was changing over the late 2025 and early 2026. The resultant bringing forward of our preparation, open homes and auction program resulted in 50 plus groups viewing the property and a good number bidding at the auction. This was most effective in achieving our sale in a tight market environment. We have no hesitation in recommending others use Richard and Susie to have their property best prepared and effectively marketed to achieve the best sale price. Yours sincerely, Alan and Merran Bannatyne

Excellent experience

We thoroughly appreciated working with Richard to find our perfect family home. Richard is extremely well informed about the Mount market and we appreciated his local expertise so much. Nothing was too much trouble for Richard, and he kept us up to date with our negotiations. Thank you Team Laery!

Clear and quick communication, incredibly knowledgeable and professional

Richard was always available to talk to when needed. His level of knowledge was obvious in his explanation of every aspect of selling. No stone unturned and i's dotted and t's crossed. It is a tricky market at the moment and he managed to bring contracts to me with serious offers within weeks of listing. Richard also has a great team behind him that helped with all aspects not hands on. This makes a big difference to a client/agent relationship in my opinion, it makes it a far more quality time process which is important in what can be an emotional experience. Richard was incredibly professional throughout.
