Sharon Blaikie

When we finally decided to put our home up for sale, we asked for 5 appraisals. After hearing what their marketing strategies and fees were, we decided Arizto were the best option for us. Sharon and Mal gave us sound advice on getting our home ready for the market. Although it was a stressful, emotional time, there was always kindness, empathy and consideration shown. They understood our concerns and needs. They made the process simple and easy to follow, no mountain of paperwork!! When you are selling a home you have built and lived in for many years these are the kind of people you want selling your home. Our heartfelt thanks to Sharon and Mal.

Working with Sharon was straightforward and completely stress‑free. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she kept us updated regularly on interested buyers. We also appreciated how much of the process was handled online — it felt modern, efficient, and a refreshing change in real estate. Sharon worked hard and we were very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend her services.

Sharon Blaikie is very easy to deal with with great communication and market insight, and overall making the buying process a lot more digestible for first home buyers like myself. Not to mention there were a couple of issues that came up during the process, for example the hot water being turned off without anyone knowing, so when it came to pre-settlement inspection, it could not be tested. However, Sharon was quick to jump into action and resolve. Again overall very pleased with the service and look forward to potentially dealing with Sharon / Arizto in the future :)

If you want the best possible experience selling your home, look no further than Sharon and Mal. They are in a league of their own! From the moment we started, the level of professionalism and dedication they brought to the table was just incredible. Sharon and Mal are a true powerhouse team; they don’t just list a property, they manage the entire process with such precision and energy that you know you’re in the safest hands possible. Their communication is second to none—we felt like their top priority every single day. We are absolutely over the moon with the experience and wouldn’t dream of using anyone else. If you’re selling in Matua, you’d be crazy not to give them a call!

Couldn't be happier with the whole experience selling with Sharon. From start to finish, the communication from Sharon was excellent - always kept in the loop, quick to respond, and never left wondering what was happening next. Sharon went above and beyond throughout the whole process. The result spoke for itself too, got a fantastic price in a tough market that we were really thrilled with. Honestly couldn't have asked for more. Would recommend without hesitation!

Sharon has the local knowledge of current buyers looking to buy and is intrinsically motivated to pursue a great outcome for her clients, the vendors. We were looking for an Agent with recent evidence of negotiating and closing the deal. Our research into local Tauranga agents led us to Sharon and Mal and other positive reviews proved to be correct! Sharon understood the true value of our home to the local market and pursued a result that we were delighted with. In particular she sought out possible buyers who were prepared to look past current tensions and stresses in the economy and could see that our home was located in a very stable suburb historically that has seen strong returns for owners over the years. Furthermore, Sharon was always available and if she missed a call, was back in touch within minutes. Sharon and Mal (the quiet achiever) have partnered with Aritzo Real Estate. Aritzo weren't really on our radar, but once we did the numbers, the selling fee is very competitive with other larger players in the Tauranga real estate market. Thanks Sharon and Mal.
