Fantastic

Sue and Owen were fantastic to work with throughout the sale of my parents' house. They were professional, knowledgeable, and their knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how they handled any problems or issues as they arose. They were proactive, responsive, and worked hard to ensure everything stayed on track. They were also compassionate and understanding of the circumstances surrounding the sale, which meant a great deal to our family. Sue and Owen made what could have been a stressful process much easier, and we are very grateful for their support and expertise. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.

our fourth time working with Sue Matate and Owen Roberts

our fourth time working with Sue Matate and Owen Roberts

We have just sold 13 Waituarua Drive, marking our fourth time working with Sue Matate and Owen Roberts, and once again, they delivered a fantastic result. Right from the start, they actioned everything quickly to get us on the market without delay. Their communication throughout the campaign was flawless; we received detailed weekly feedback and they were always incredibly responsive to any questions we had. What we appreciate most about Sue and Owen is their attention to detail. They took the time to truly get to know the unique features of our house and looked after the property impeccably during viewings. Their selling advice was spot-on, backed by an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of the local market. If you want agents who are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care, we cannot recommend Sue and Owen highly enough! Their local market knowledge and selling advice are top-notch. Thank you both!

Experienced Agents who were perfect for our unique property.

Experienced Agents who were perfect for our unique property.

Sue and Owen showed how experienced, professional and knowledgeable they are as Real Estate Agents when it came to selling our unique property which we had owned for 29 years. They have great relationships with many professional people to answer any difficult questions that arise. Our property was listed and sold within a few weeks. We new from the moment we wanted to sell that Sue and Owen were the perfect team to help us achieve a successful sale. Their negotiation skills achieved what we wanted. Selling our first home after so long was made easy thanks to Sue and Owen being there every step of the way to provide advise no matter the time of day or night, their communication was so helpful and reassuring. Adam and Tracey

Treated like family

Sue and Owen showed geniune concern for our well-being and understanding of the selling process. They took the time to support us, as ageing customers, and explained things in a way we could understand. We felt heard and knew what was happening every step of the way. We could not be happier with the way things have gone. Highly recommend Sue and Owen for their knowledge, care and professionalism.
