Great, most helpful.

Sue and Owen were professional and considerate from our first meeting. They helped us show the home to bring out the best points, offering advice when asked. They were kind and considerate through the entire process, ensuring that life was disrupted as little as possible, taking into account all our requests and preferences. I highly recommend them.

Outstanding Result – Highly Recommend Sue and Owen!

Working with Sue and Owen to sell our home in Wattle Downs was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From our very first meeting, they stood out for their deep local market knowledge and thorough professionalism. They guided us through every step of the selling journey, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. Their communication was consistently prompt, transparent, and reassuring—we were never left wondering what was happening with open homes, buyer feedback, or the campaign progress. Sue and Owen genuinely care about their clients, pairing hard work and strategic advice with exceptional customer service. We couldn't be happier with the result and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell in Wattle Downs.

Sue and Owen were great. They guided me through the steps for house sale in NZ. Brilliant result.

Sue and Owen worked together as an excellent team. They explored my need for selling my father’s house for him reasonably quickly, explained the process, gave options and strengths and weaknesses of each and created a great selling strategy to meet my needs, maximise value for the sale and met timescales and exceeded expectations brilliantly. Their advice on marketing strategy was excellent and they followed through with a very effective two and a half week campaign which generated a lot of positive interest and, eventually, a competitive auction which met or exceeded expectations. They accurately read the market conditions for the specific type of house, the location and how the house would best sell and allowed me to make good decisions. We set up simple communications mechanism via a WhatsApp group which allowed us to keep everyone informed of discussions and decisions. This really helped the process. It was all accomplished so swiftly that my father and I were delighted with the outcome. The swift campaign significantly reduced the stress of my father’s next move and puts us firmly in control of his future. Thanks so much to Sue and Owen for their help and guidance. The exercise was much less stressful than it might have been. And the result was excellent.

Helpful and Transparent

Sue and Owen were helpful and transparent from the beginning. They gave us a full rundown of the process and what their commission was going to be and were open to our own suggestions. They maintained communication throughout the process from the open homes to securing a purchaser and what the next steps were going to be. They were both professional and friendly to deal with. I highly recommend them as they both have a wealth of knowledge and expertise.

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

Sue and Owen were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Selling a home can be a stressful process, but they made it feel seamless with their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. Their communication was outstanding, keeping us informed every step of the way, and their expertise gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. They were always approachable, honest, and happy to answer any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for better agents to sell our home. We highly recommend Sue and Owen to anyone looking for experienced, trustworthy real estate professionals who truly go above and beyond.
