I have known Shar since 2021 when I attended one of her open homes for a previous house purchase. I was buying a house on my own and she offered to be my buyers agent and after a short period of searching, we successfully won the auction of the first property I went to auction on. When we came to sell this property, naturally I reached out to Shar to offer an appraisal. While we ended up going with another agent (purely for financial reasons), Shar's grace and passion throughout the process was unparalleled and even she offered to be our buyers agent again instead - which leads me to this review. Shar has stuck with us for the last four months attending (too) many open homes with us, assisting us with several offers, and finally achieving the successful purchase of Skylark Lane. We cannot thank her enough for her persistence during the process and it's clear that real estate is more than just job for her - her passion for helping people get into their homes really shines through. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us get into our family home 🥰

We recently sold our house while living overseas, and working with Shar made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and seamless. From start to finish, her service was nothing short of outstanding. Shar went above and beyond to manage every detail in our absence—including staging the home beautifully, and keeping us informed at every step with clear, timely communication. Shar's knowledge of the market, negotiation skills, and professionalism gave us complete confidence throughout the process.

Shar came recommended by friends. I was impressed with her clear communication, realistic goals she helped me set for the sales campaign, her explanations of the process, and the utilisation of the Harcourts network throughout, to attract over 90 parties to viewings in a 3-week campaign. The market certainly saw my house! There were several serious bidders at the auction. Shar was a reassuring presence, and the result was one I was thrilled with

Big thanks to Shar, who was amazing to work with. Professional, organised and made the selling process so easy. Clear comms throughout the process, prioritizing what was important to us. Highly recommend Shar!

Shar's market knowledge of the area was extensive. Her communication with us was very clear, regular and informative. She acted professionally at all times. Our interactions from the beginning at the appraisal stage through to selling our house has been a very positive experience for us.

Shar is an amazing agent. She really listens to your needs then finds those properties that match. You will never be wasting any of your time while working with Shar. She makes the whole process smooth, even when it gets a bit bumpy she is right there smoothing things out again. I recommend her unreservedly

Shar is really clear and thorough in explaining the different processes throughout the house sale process. She is quick with all her communications and never fails to follow up. As a family, we have really valued her input and support throughout this process - thanks Shar for everything you have done for us.

We had a great experience working with Shar. From start to finish, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. Shar made our first home buying process smooth and stress-free, always keeping us informed and answering every question promptly. Shar’s communication was excellent helped us to achieve a great result.

Our agent was great in representing us at the auction, great communication skills and negotiation on the spot. Very professional and would recommend in the future or use when we add to our portfolio. Shar was personable and professional. Thanks to Darren Pratley for the recommendation, Holmwood Harcourts are an office and agents office that we would recommend to our friends here in NZ and overseas. Knowledgeable, approachable and supportive. Guiding and prompting us to develop as investors. Thank you so much. Shar and her office.

Shar is simply incredible. Where do I start? Shar was always warm and engaging, professional, positive and friendly from the very beginning, to the very end of the process. She was enthusiastic to work with us. She is a text book communicator - innovative in her approach to the marketing theme - a house with pockets - prompt in her messages to us, and tech savvy in using the latest ways to communicate. After each open home she would send us a video message to let us know how many groups were through and how she would follow up with the buyers. We never felt in the dark about what was happening in the background. We were kept fully informed the whole way. Talk about extra mile service!! She mowed the lawns for us - I know! Who does that. Shar does that! She offered a lawn mower to the new buyers out of her own pocket. Who does that? Shar does that! She staged the kitchen to show people how functional it was. Who does that? Shar does that! She kept options in front of us when we needed more options - first auction, then deadline sale, then fixed price and then Sold. Boom! Nothing was an issue for Shar. Living out of Christchurch seemed no barrier. We very much felt that Shar was working her absolute best for us and in the end we are thrilled with the sale. We felt safe with Shar. We felt heard as we shared our hopes and dreams, and at times impatient frustrations with the slowness of the market. We felt respected and valued. Would we recommend Shar to others? Well … a recommendation doesn’t seem strong enough. We would tell people they have to go with her.

Shar has been great as a buying agent - highly recommend.

I highly recommend Shar for her dedication and expertise. Thanks to her, I found the perfect home and I couldn't be happier
