Simon has excellent knowledge of the property market in South Canterbury and we were well informed throughout the sales process. Outstanding professional customer service from the appraisal, right through to the sale.

Excellent agent

Simon is a very professional agent who helped us buy our first home in New Zealand. While we understand his obligation is to his clients, he was very accommodating to our time and schedule and was honest the whole way through. While we were buyers we will certainly be contacting him if we ever decide to sell property ourselves.

Knowledgeable experienced operator who guided us through the selling process

We engaged Simon’s services as we had confidence in his market knowledge and experience . Throughout our selling process we felt Simon provided good feedback and guidance in what was a tricky market . He achieved an excellent result for us and provided a trusted professional conduit with our near neighbours and good friends who purchased the property Having Simon as agent enabled us to keep a good professional relationship with our purchasing friends so at no time did we feel our friendship would come under strain . Simons discretion and confidentiality was evident at all times and we never felt that was ever a source of concern. Our only point of concern came around the presenting of an extremely low offer which I felt was insulting from the potential buyer. This did knock our confidence somewhat at the time and I wonder if PGG should reconsider its policy of presenting all offers and think about offers needing to be within a certain percentage of market or govt valuation . Whilst I accept Simon had to present it we weren’t happy to recieve it . Overall we recommend Simon highly for his service and dedication and we would be happy to recommend to anyone selling farms in this market

Excellent communicator with sound advice and knowledge of sale process

From Simon's very first visit we found him very engaging and came well prepared to answer our questions and the best options to market the property. He and his team kept us well informed during the 5 week marketing campaign bringing qualified buyers over the property which ended with a very successful sale through the deadline treaty sale process. We highly recommend Simon and his PGW real estate team.
