After living in our Muriwai home, designed for us by Graham Lane, a local architect and built by Brian Muir, we had decided after 36 years it was time to move on. To sell our home we engaged Simon Spiller who we knew had in-depth knowledge of the housing market in the district. Simon put together a package which he fully explained to us and the reasons why, prior to our acceptance and giving the go ahead. He suggested a deadline treaty sale based on a one-month marketing programme reinforced with four open homes plus half-page pictorial advertisements in the New Zealand Herald. After each open home we received a short text from Simon about the interest in our property and a full report a few days later. This kept us informed as to what the positives and negatives we faced were, from potential buyers. At the end of the month's marketing programme we were presented with firm offers and were able to sale our home. We were pleasantly surprised that the process, whilst not completely stress-free, was nowhere as orronious as we had imagined it could be. We put this down to being fully informed by Simon during each step of the marketing process. We have no hesitation in recommending Simon as a real estate agent.

I have dealt with many agents over the years and what was completely different about the Spillers is their 100% commitment to working for their sellers and negotiating the best price. In the past I have bought properties I would have paid more for due to the agents lack of ability to negotiate, experience and simply wanting to get a deal done. Completely opposite with these guys I actually paid more than I wanted to so when it came to choosing an agent to sell my property it was a no brainer. Being on the other side of the deal as a seller my initial views were confirmed as their service is first class and they again negotiated hard to achieve a great result. They are genuine down to earth people which makes them a pleasure to have around and work with and, if I am ever selling again there is no doubt who I will use but I hope I will never have to buy another property through them!

There is no one more knowledgeable or with more contacts to the Muriwai property market than the Spillers. They took the time to understand our personal position and our property before recommending how to sell. From the start we were told they would achieve the best price and even when we produced a Registered Valuation we were told to bury it and see if they could do better. Best advice ever as we did by approximately 10% which is a big difference. The Spillers whilst building great relationships with their buyers are always working to achieve the highest price for sellers and you can’t ask for any more than that. We highly recommend them without reservation. Very happy Muriwai sellers.

13 years ago, we bought our home through Bayleys and back then Simon managed us through a smooth purchase process. We have had an amazing time in our family home and when it was time for us to move on Simon was the only real estate agent we called. His local knowledge about our community and the current market was very important as we looked to sell our home post Cyclone Gabrielle, which was and still is a very raw emotion for the community. Once again, we had excellent service and support from Simon and the team at Bayleys. The communication from Simon was always clear and respectful of our emotions as we went through the selling process. It has been a tough market to sell in and Simon did a great job keeping us focused on the process. He was very professional in his dealings with us, he always kept us informed on the market, the feedback on our home and then the final negotiation. We never felt under any pressure to make quick decisions. There was also time to consider our options as Simon managed the expectations between us and the purchasers. Many thanks to Simon and his team at Spiller + Spiller - We have no hesitation in recommending them!

We recently sold our property with Simon and Cooper and they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. From the outset, we knew that we were dealing with real professionals who were extremely easy to deal with and had real integrity. Their local knowledge of the North West area was very impressive. Initial communications were regarding the marketing strategy. They communicated their thinking and rationale clearly and gave us real confidence in their ability to achieve the best outcome. Throughout the sales/open homes process, communication continued to be excellent and regular discussions occurred to fine tune the strategy where required. They were always hard working and tenacious with potential buyers whilst remaining professional throughout. Ultimately a successful sale was achieved and we were very happy with the result. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon and Cooper to any potential vendor.

We recently purchased property in Muriwai and found Simon to be an excellent agent to work with. Simon was very accommodating of our requests and was able to structure a deal that worked for us. Open communication, straight-up honesty and being a local, Simon knows every aspect of the Muriwai property market. We would highly recommend Simon Spiller!

We had a fantastic experience working with Simon as our real estate agent. From the moment we walked into the initial open home, Simon greeted us with a friendly demeanor and provided us with comprehensive information about the property and the sale terms. His communication was exceptional; after the first open home, Simon kept us updated throughout the entire process. This was especially helpful since we were also selling our house at the same time, allowing us to plan accordingly. Simon’s professionalism truly stood out. He equipped us with all the necessary information we needed to make informed decisions, making our first experience buying and selling in the same market much less daunting. Thanks to Simon, we felt confident every step of the way. We are very happy customers and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent!

Sold in three weeks, what more can we say, outstanding effort by Simon. Best real estate agent that we have ever used, with his hard work, methodical thinking and positive attitude he achieved an outcome that we were very happy with, we would definitely recommend his services to anyone who wants to achieve the best result possible.

Simon and Cooper are quite simply, marvellous. Simon has both sold me property and been my sales agent in Muriwai. Their deep understanding of the area and its unique foibles means they are the only ones I would go to. They're also kind, practical and fun to deal with, a pleasure all round.

Simon was a wonderful kind agent as we navigated through the process. He answered all my pernickety questions and made possible for me buy my lovely new home.

We were fortunate to sell our property with Simon & Cooper Spiller in what was a difficult market. Straight off we preferred their easy going approach, setting us realistic targets to get listed. We believe they have a thorough market knowledge of the greater Waimauku/Muriwai area which was a huge benefit. We'd enlist their services again when buying or selling.

Simon and Cooper did a great job selling my house in what is currently a buyer's market. They were good to deal with and gave me solid insights and advice along the way. If I were to sell again, I would engage them to do so.
