I met Julie Kelman-Poto a few months go. I had contacted a Vetting Company to find me the best Harcourts Real Estate in Auckland City. The Vetting Company Recommended Julie Kelman-Poto. Julie took me to many houses For Sale when we met Other Land Agents at the Open Homes we called on Julie’s Communication was very Professional. I kept turning down homes I was shown. Julie was very patient with me and assured me she was interested in helping me find the right home would want to buy.

Simply the best

We can’t thank Sarah and Julie enough for all their hard work selling our house for us. They took all the stress out of the process, nothing was ever too much trouble for them and we had a lot of fun along the way! This is the second property of ours they have sold, we wouldn’t use anyone else!

Great experience!

Sarah was great to deal with. She was clear with her communication as she kept us in the loop and responded quickly to questions or requests. Her straightforward and clear communication made her easy to trust and therefore respect her opinion. She was inclusive of all parties and supportive through the whole process! Loved it!

Yes, you can do business with family. Successfully!

First, full disclosure - I am related to Sarah, and initially when I spoke to her about getting some general advice on marketing out home, I was upfront about my hesitation in 'doing business' with family. Anyway, they graciously agreed to coming over for an informal chat, and well, the rest is history! :-) Sarah & Julie did an absolutely outstanding job in marketing and selling our property. They are a formidable team - Sarah's marketing skills mesh perfectly with Julie's data and market-analysis expertise. They also provided exceptional advice on preparing the house for sale, with in-depth suggestions on simple and cost-effective improvements we could make to enhance salability - from paint colour schemes and interior decoration to garden plantings. All in all it was a fabulous experience and has changed my view of doing business with family! Highly recommended.

Julie and Sarah were great to deal with. Julie was always prompt with her communication and negotiating through her as a buyer was stress-free, clear and reassuring - would highly recommend Julie (and Sarah) for buying or selling

THE MOST AMAZING REAL ESTATE AGENT IN THE WORLD!

Sarah really is amazing, and has done an outstanding job for us selling our property in a tough market. She and her team worked hard and left no stone unturned, from setting up the superb marketing campaign to working closely with the buyers to deliver us a good offer. We highly recommend Sarah, together with her team Julie and Winnie, as they made the whole process easy, with constant communication and support.

Best agent in Auckland!!!

Best agent in Auckland!!!

Apologies for the delay. Sarah is a top knotch agent. What I appreciated most was her honesty, market knowledge/experience and her ability to cut through the BS and call it like she saw it. She has a fun and infectious personality immediately making you feel like you've known her for years. I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking about selling in the future and wouldn't hesitate to call on her if we ever needed a selling agent. Keep up the good work Sarah, Harcourts is lucky to have you!!!

A successful outcome to our instruction “sell it.”

A successful outcome to our instruction “sell it.”

We wanted the property sold. Harcourts sold it. It is as simple as that. From our first interview with the Agent Principal, David Findlay, to the final documentation produced by Julie Kelman-Poto, the whole procedure ran as smooth as silk. As this review is meant to be about Sarah Tiplady, we had better introduce her at this stage. The selling team were Sarah and Julie, with Winnie providing Chinese liaison as necessary. Sarah and Julie were responsible for the front-line work of running open homes and following up prospective buyers. Sarah in particular spent a lot of time working with us, the Executors, preparing the house for sale. Her attention to detail was amazing, placing flowers, ornaments, books, furniture, bed linen etc very strategically so that the house, although vacant, looked as if it was still loved and lived-in. She also advised on required maintenance to the grounds and swimming pool. The house was sold by auction, with Julie and the Principal of Harcouts liaising between ourselves and the auctioneer at every point where we were required to decide whether to lower the reserve or accept conditional bids. The auction was successful. Julie kept us advised throughout with regard to the documentation required, up to and including the receipt of the deposit. In summary, we were very happy with the performance of Sarah and Julie and, of course, of the members of the Harcourts team in achieving a successful outcome to our instruction “sell it.”
