Real estate teams in Auckland

Selling in the current real estate climate is not for the faint hearted. Rawdon and Steve bring a positive spin to all the many ups and downs of the sale process and with a result at the end we were very happy.

There are many reasons for rating my agents Steve Hood & Rawdon Christie a 10/10 following a successful sale at auction. The support and advice on to how to prepare our late mother's home for sale; excellent communication via. meetings in person, phonecalls, texts, WhatsApp group messages and emails; following each Open Home a recorded video message detailing who had attended, etc, detailed weekly reports, etc., etc! In a respectful way they advised on what needed to be done, decluttered, repaired, etc.

Steve put together superb marketing plan for selling two townhouses that had been rental properties for many years. He helped arrange a builder and painter to complete a refresh for both properties. This was all done to an excellent standard and relatively quickly. Throughout the process Steve’s communication and advice was always right on point. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and the result was two properties sold at auction.

"Elaine did an excellent job addressing both the buyer’s and vendor’s needs. She communicated promptly and provided thorough, detailed responses to all of our concerns."

Elaine was amazing to work with and purchase our first home through. She was quick and clear with her communication and helped guide us through this confusing process.

Prompt with good sensible suggestions when any problems arose. This sale was a complex situation requiring an experienced agent and Elaine never failed us.

Super impressed with Trish & Tracey! They are a great team to work with, excellent communicators, and they found our perfect buyer within 3 months. Highly recommend them if you need warm, efficient service and a quick sale.

Trish and Tracey are relatable, warm, strategic and importantly professional. The respect and enthusiasm they shared with us for our property was contagious. We see prospective buyers experiencing this through their representation at every touchpoint. We are very happy with the communication and management of our listing in every aspect. We have been kept well informed about buyer interest and market feedback, and the clarity and transparency around the selling process has been outstanding. We trust them completely to act in our best interest. I couldn't recommend them more highly, they are good people and incredibly professional.

Tracey was quick to respond to questions and did a very good job providing information during the sales process. She developed a concise plan and followed through to a successful sale. We were very happy with the entire selling experience.

We could not have completed the sale of our property without Kaynes help. He went above and beyond and his past experience as a builder was invaluable in this process. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone planning to sell their property.

Thank you to Josh and Kayne for the excellent communication and great experience with buying our house. It exceeded our expectations on all levels, thanks a bunch.

Hi Kayne and Josh, Thank you guys for the amazing efforts you went to in making our house sale successful. Your initial suggestions Josh, in getting reliable renovators in and guiding us through the "getting ready process" was so helpful. Your recommendation of a top class auctioneer was much appreciated. One thing we have truly appreciated was your patient communication with our questions. Thanks for the lovely touch in having the coffee and treats available for those coming to the auction. It created a friendly feel. Sorry we couldn't enjoy the sweet treats, but sugar is off our menu. The tea was great. I'm saving the champagne until our family gets together for Christmas hopefully, and we can all say "CHEERS" to you both for a job done so well. With warmest appreciation, Christine and David

I can’t recommend Ben Gibson highly enough. I bought my dream home through Ben earlier in the year, so I already knew what it was like to be on the other side of the transaction and that insight really mattered when it came time to switch agents. After three months on the market with no result, I made the decision to switch to Ben and Debs. They weren’t local agents, which felt like a risk at the time, but it was a calculated one that absolutely paid off. With a fresh marketing campaign, creative thinking, and an enormous amount of hard work, they sold my home within three weeks and right before Christmas. Ben took care of everything as I was abroad for the entire campaign and auction. Ben is relentlessly dedicated, thinks outside the box, and communicates clearly and consistently. He builds genuine rapport with people, and brings huge energy and momentum when it matters most. He hustles like mad but does it in a way that is authentic, respectful, and grounded. Ben is an exceptional and passionate real estate agent and a genuinely good, down-to-earth person. If you want someone who will work tirelessly for you, connects easily with people, and gets the job done this is your agent.

Ben Gibson was absolutely fantastic to work with. He guided me through every step of buying my dream home, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Ben was friendly, professional and always quick to answer my questions — nothing was ever too much trouble. Thanks to his support and expertise I felt confident from start to finish, and I’m now the proud owner of my dream property!

When we decided to put our very unique Beach Haven home on the market, it came with uncertainty—what was its true value, how should we market it, and what method of sale would achieve the best result? Being our beloved “forever home” that we had poured our hearts and souls into designing and building, we were understandably nervous. We had several appraisals, but Ben Gibson stood out. His wasn’t necessaril the highest, but it was the most thoughtful. He considered the build cost, location, quality, and the care that went into creating the home. This gave us confidence he understood not only the property but also the emotion of letting it go. Ben took the time to truly understand its features so he could communicate them effectively to buyers. He then crafted an exceptional marketing strategy that delivered record-breaking listing views, open homes, and enquiries. Through his network, Ben secured NZ Herald coverage of the sale journey, giving the home exposure we could never have imagined. This brought genuine buyers who, with Ben and his team’s guidance, were able to fully appreciate the home’s engineering, quality, and unique design. The chosen method of sale was auction. Ben gave us complete confidence in this decision by clearly explaining every option and scenario we might face. His communication was consistent, thoughtful, and always proactive. He welcomed our input, adapted when needed, and ensured we always knew the next steps. What impressed us most was Ben’s ability to build trust and rapport with both buyers and us as vendors. His professionalism was matched with true respect, empathy, and personal care. We never doubted his ability to achieve the best outcome, and the result far exceeded our expectations. Ben is an exceptional agent with integrity, dedication, and genuine passion for his work. We could not recommend him more highly.
