Taryn was in our opinion the easiest and best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. The whole process was about what we wanted, at our own pace. There was never any pushiness from her side, she handled our sale in a professional, empathetic and knowledgeable way. For years real estate agents have had negative connotations around the way they conduct themselves with regards to pushiness and being 'typical sales people' - Taryn is the complete opposite to this generalization. We would happily recommend Taryn to anyone looking to sell their home and, infact, already have!

Taryn & Lisa were professional, knowledgeable and available to any questions we had when we were searching for our first home.

I had other agents that I deal with but non of them seem to care for what I wanted and needed. Taryn work so hard to get what I wanted. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a house.

Taryn’s knowledge was excellent. She communicated with us throughout our journey. Just a lovely person to deal with.

We have used Taryn as both a buyer and a vendor. While buying, we were in the market for a larger property and ran across Taryn. At this stage we had used other agents and never been properly listened to, getting shown properties of the wrong size, wrong area, wrong price, wrong features - just getting emailed TradeMe listings of everything even passingly suitable - something we could easily look up ourselves. Taryn made a real effort to -listen- to our list of wants and needs, didn't show us unsuitable properties... and after a few weeks called us for an off-market property and ran through why she thought it might and might not be suitable. After several months of looking, I can't emphasis how rare it was to have an agent who paid attention to what we actually wanted instead of merely what was first on their list. We bought the property after the first look. She gave us a clear indication of what the vendor was seeking, walked us through the offer process, and helped settle the property, all the while making this as stress-free a process as house buying can be. When it came to sell our existing property, it wasn't a hard choice. She ran us through the process, and showed the house to a prospective buyer who had their own list of needs - which once again Taryn had listened well to and given them what they were after. They too bought in on the first look, no advertising or open homes even required. Again Taryn took us through the selling process, worked calmly to settle the hiccups and jump through the hoops, and worked with us well the whole way. When you can sell not one but two properties on a first look through listening to the buyer’s needs, that really says something as a real estate agent! We highly recommend Taryn for her great listening, clear communication, and general professionalism.

Taryn has overseen the entire marketing campaign for us, everything is well organised. Her advice on market analysis and how to prepare for the Open Home is great. We have huge turn ups at Open Home, not just by their home agents but also other agents in the area, which widened our exposure so much. She is professional arranging private viewing, so responsive on our questions and liaisons with potential buyers. We had a great experience on Auction, and finally our house is under hammer at an outstanding outcome. We appreciate her utmost efforts and support!

She has been amazing and worked so hard for us. She has gone above and beyond in all she has done! We are so thankful to have had such a dedicated real estate agent.

Lisa Girvan and Taryn Sumner worked together and walked and talked us through a process that was very new and terribly scary for first time buyers. From the moment we met at an open home until the final inspection before settlement they were informative and helpful and made the whole process easy. Always available to talk to when we needed and bonus points for the celebratory pineapple lumps :)

Taryn was great to work with when we bought our property. She was engaging and came across as more up front, than some of the other agents when buying property. I found her helpful and really went out of her way to get you a good outcome.

Taryn and Lisa were brilliant for us. They had a plan and when COVID and other factors intruded on that plan they adjusted and come out with an outcome that was as good if not better than we all originally thought. I'd happily use them again and recommend them to others.

We found Taryn so easy to deal with, she had great knowledge of the market and was happy to answer all of our questions. Taryn made the process of selling our first home easy, she worked really hard to present us with great offers.

We are so impressed with Taryn and the team at Harcourts, fantastic result and over and above service recieved. Couldnt have asked for a better agent to represent us and help us with this sale!
