Simone was a great agent to work with. She always represented the vendor in the best possible way but maintained a great level of service for the buyer , including after sales service High recommend

Simone's reputation is well earned. Simone walks the tightrope of interests for both seller and buyer with the skill and nuance of a circus acrobat. Direct but friendly, persuasive not pushy, with a local knowledge unparalleled in the local housing market. Probably the most endearing aspect was the additional support after the transfer was complete, for example the connection of services, who's the best provider, do you know an electrician, These minor incidental supporting acts are both endering and useful. It's not just a cash transaction on a contract. Simone lives in the local area, she's an old school professional real estate agent, beneficial in an industry with more than it's share of fast talking, clueless charlatans who think only of their commission. And a wicked sense of humour.

We met Simone at various open homes over the past couple of years when we were starting to think about upsizing and found her very easy to chat to and communicate with. When it came time to sell our home, we were happy with our decision to have Simone as our agent. While it took a little while to sell (due to the timing and the market) Simone did her best to make the process as simple as possible. Over the Christmas and New Year period Simone arranged for another agent to look after our sale while she was away, however she was still able to be contacted during that time. Overall we had a good experience and would be happy to recommend Simone to other sellers.

Selling or buying a home is one of the biggest decisions anyone can make, and having the right person by your side makes all the difference. For us, that person was Simone van Delft. Quite simply, she is the best real estate agent in New Zealand! From the very beginning, Simone demonstrated outstanding communication, dedication, and genuine care for both seller and buyer. She supported us well before the campaign even began, helping us prepare our home and guiding us through the emotional process of leaving our beautiful place filled with memories. Her attention to detail and empathy ensured we felt confident and supported every step of the way. When the campaign launched, Simone’s professionalism and energy stood out. She didn’t just wait for buyers to come to her—she actively called potential buyers, followed up diligently, and kept us fully informed at every stage. As vendors, we always knew what was happening, which gave us peace of mind during what can often be a stressful journey. Auctions and negotiations are moments filled with pressure, but Simone’s calm presence, strategic advice, and unwavering commitment made all the difference. She balanced empathy with assertiveness, ensuring that both parties felt respected while still driving the best possible outcome. We have worked with other agents before, but Simone truly stands apart. Her combination of professionalism, warmth, and relentless dedication is rare. She doesn’t just sell houses—she builds trust, creates confidence, and makes the entire process smoother and more positive than we ever imagined. If you are considering selling or buying, we cannot recommend Simone highly enough. She is the person you want by your side—an agent who genuinely cares, communicates brilliantly, and goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results.

Simone has the knowledge and determination to get the best result possible. Giving all the advice you need from pre sale presentation, marketing and sales strategies throughout the process. She is assertive and works hard until everything is finalised.

From when we first considering selling to signing the papers on Auction night, we have felt incredibly supported by Simone. She built a very trusting relationship with us and created a marketing vision which we believed in 100%. Her vision, plan and support created the result we were after, and we couldn't have done it without her.

Simone van Delft made our move to our dream home happen in record time, even in today’s competitive market. From start to finish, Simone was exceptional — a top agent in every sense. Our home sold in just 4 days over a long weekend, with 43 buyer groups through, 3 unconditional offers, and 4 subject-to-sale offers. We needed both speed and a fantastic price and Simone delivered exactly what we wanted and needed. What truly set Simone apart was her hands-on approach. She didn’t just offer advice — she was physically involved in getting the property ready, helping with the presentation to make sure it showed at its absolute best. Her guidance on staging, timing and strategy was spot on, and she proactively contacted the right buyers in her database to generate serious interest from day one. Simone’s professionalism, energy, care and commitment were outstanding. She made the process seamless and successful — we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended. — Vendor, 152 Buckley Avenue

From start to finish, my experience with Simone was nothing short of outstanding. She sold my home by auction in just 20 days—well above my expectations on price and speed. What truly set Simone apart was her unwavering commitment and dedication; I always felt she had my back and was advocating for me 100%. There was never a doubt she was in my corner. Simone's communication was impeccable—she kept me constantly updated with timely information and patiently answered every question I had, no matter how small. This transparency and professionalism gave me absolute confidence throughout the process. Her proactive approach and expert knowledge turned what could have been a stressful experience into something smooth and rewarding. I am incredibly grateful for her hard work, honesty, and personalised care. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an estate agent who truly delivers results and puts their clients first. This sale exceeded all my hopes, and she deserves every bit of the praise for making it happen so effortlessly. Thank you Simone, the wonderful auctioneer, Ben and all the team at Ray White, Mairangi Bay.

For a hassle free experience with a top Hobsonville agent. Simone knows her stuff and delivers. I would not hesitate in recommending her.

We are so grateful for the experience we had with Simone. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible. What really stood out was how genuinely she cared for us. With young kids, our time and availability can be tricky, but Simone was incredibly flexible and always worked around our schedule to make things easier. She has a warm, approachable way of explaining everything, and she always made us feel comfortable and supported. Simone is also very thorough and detail-oriented, making sure we fully understood each step of the process. She took the time to listen, answer our questions, and guide us with patience and understanding. Her advice was thoughtful and practical, always backed up with realistic and evidence-based information. That honesty gave us a lot of confidence, knowing we could rely on her insights. Beyond just the professional side, Simone made us feel comfortable and supported every step of the way, which really made a difference during what could have been a stressful process. We truly felt like we were in safe hands, and her dedication, hard work, and genuine care gave us peace of mind from start to finish. Simone’s professionalism, combined with her kindness and thoughtful support, makes her someone we would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for an agent who will truly look after them.

We had such a great experience working with Simone. She was not only professional and extremely knowledgeable but also so friendly, funny and inviting, making us feel confident and secure throughout the buying process. We couldn’t recommend Simone enough to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling, she really goes above and beyond! (She also added a big yellow bow on the door for our move in day which made it feel so special!!)
