Trista has been a fantastic agent, going above and beyond. She has been extremely informative about different situations and has helped to understand all issues that popped up and helped to find solutions. She has been able to keep us well informed every step of the way. She has been extremely helpful in not only selling our property but being a superstar in helping us in offering and securing a property for ourselves. Trista has a great overall understanding of the property market and does not hesitate to explain things clearly. She is compassionate and extremely approachable, which makes selling and buying an easier process. We would not hesitate at all to seek Trista out for any future property dealings. Thanks a million for all you do!

Trista achieved a great result for us in a two-week timeframe. This was in a fairly rough market so we were very impressed with the result.


Trista is professional yet human and approachable at all times. I always feel confident and comfortable that we will get the best outcome with Trista. I would never hesitate to recommend Trista to anyone buying or selling. She is integrity, and decency personified.

Trista really understands the Dunedin real estate market and did a great job selling our place. We recommend Trista for selling your home

Leon and I bought our home 7 years ago through Trista and when the time came to sell, we had no hesitation in contacting Trista to guide us through the process. From the first moment we met Trista we were impressed with her warmth and genuine interest in us as people. It felt like we were old friends. She listened to us with the intention to understand what we were saying and expressed her thoughts and opinions clearly and without reservation. The feeling of connection stayed with us throughout both the buying and selling process and also during the 7 intervening years. Whenever we meet Trista out and about in the community, she always is keen to talk and catch-up. Her level of professionalism was exceptional and combined with her genuine love of people convinced us she was the agent we wanted to be with on our buying/selling journeys. We have found Trista to be highly knowledgeable about the property market and what would be the best way to sell our home to realise the sale price we desired. She suggested selling options and gave her thoughts and recommendations. We felt no pressure from her to choose a particular option. After open home sessions Trista kept us informed about the interest from potential purchases and their thoughts about the property/price point so we could adjust our expectations if necessary. Trista always made sure our home was looking the best it could by contributing items for staging and making sure everything was tidy and well-presented prior to each open session. Trista was key in our home selling very quickly and in our getting the price we wanted.

It's always a pleasure working with Trista to sell properties. For the sale of 25A Paterson, she delivered on her promises, set realistic expectations right from the start in terms of price, market conditions and especially ensuring we obtain the best offers possible on the property. As always, Trista never disappoints!! - Meyer

Trista is amazing !we were first home buyers .Out of all real estate agents we met Trista is one of the best in Dunedin .Trista was really helpful throughout all the process .Trista was accomodating and her communication to us was exceptional .Trista was able to make things much more easier for us despite the great stress that comes along with first home buyers. We would extend our kind gratitude towards Trista for everything she did and keep up the good work as always you do 😊

We found Trista Townsend had wonderful work and communication skills and after sale hospilitity to be of a very high standard and would thoroughly recommend her services to others

We've known Trista awhile now and found her to be friendly and knowledgeable on buying and selling houses. We address this to you, Mr LJ Hooker, and future customers that we recommend her as an excellent agent to your company. She's been very helpful with us in our moving process.

Having finally found a property that suited my budget and needs, I was very fortunate to have the assistance of Trista and Leanne as they guided me through the purchase process. They responded to my last minute offer efficiently with thorough explanation of what was required. They kept in touch throughout the negotiation process. When the building inspection report raised some issues to be resolved on the property, Trista provided excellent guidance on reducing my original offer to one that was fair to both myself and the vendors and which I was comfortable settling on. Leanne went the other extra mile by investigating sources of furniture and kitchen ware that I needed. All was done with a very warm, friendly demeanour making the experience as stress free as possible.
