Richard Laery is a true professional. Plenty of people talk themselves up but Richard is the real deal. From the very first time meeting Richard I knew he was the person I wanted to sell my house. We started looking to sell two years ago and Richard helped us understand what we should be focusing on from the very onset. With his help he guided us every step of the way and brought in other equally talented people to help make the sale successful. We also couldn’t have done this without the additional help of his wife Susie who works seamlessly alongside Richard bringing other skills to fruition. Honesty Integrity Passion Experience Market Understanding are all words I would use to describe Richard and Susie and we are so grateful for all their help along the way. Buying and Selling a house can be a very stressful time for most people - I am thankful that we didn’t feel very pressured and each step along our journey was calculated and explained in full detail. On closing I would fully endorse Richard and Susie Laery to help you sell your property - you will not regret it. Regards Ian and Alex

17A Townhead Crescent Bethlehem
We have had the pleasure of working with Janet once again. She was our first choice to represent us as vendors,after buying our home of 18 years through her. From the property appraisal all the way to the sales and purchase agreement, Janet was not only professional, but incredibly warm and approachable. I would highly recommend her. Thankyou Janet for being part of this memorable journey with us.

Wow what can we say, Janet is so easy to get on with, friendly and professional. She helped us from the first day with advice on home presentation, open homes and with clear weekly feedback. A buyer was found on the second open day and our home sold quickly. The Tall Poppy marketing package really is value for money. We would honestly recommend Janet to anyone looking to sell their home. Thankyou Janet Susie and Chris

14 Luke Road Awakeri
Initially it was agreed to try and sell the property at Auction. This took place in December 2025 and was passed in with no bidders. Subsequently one couple were interested but had to sell their Kiwi Fruit property first. Also another couple put in a bid which we did not accept because of conditions and 2 week time frame given. over the next 12 months the interested couple extended the contract numerous times and as they still did not have a buyer for their block. At the Agents request we also lowered our asking price. Then in October last Rhys presented us with an agreement which although not at the price we wanted was unconditional with a good settlement date which we accepted We understand that Rhys had to strongly suggest that the sale price be increased substantially otherwise we would not even look at it. At one stage during this process we were asked to not even be present when the proposed purchasers had another look through our residence. This we found somewhat annoying. Subsequently the deposit was paid a day late and since that date we have not heard from Rhys, apart from one brief phone call. As Rhys knew we are shifting to New Plymouth and were planning to look for properties down there we would have appreciated him contacting his New Plymouth counterparts to see if they could assist us in our search. Sadly this did not happen, but we have now found a suitable property through another Agency. We now await full settlement on the 20th of February next. If we were being honest we both thought we might've seen Rhys after the contract was signed but his commission was deducted from the deposit and to date that has been it. Rhys did tell us how much he had sold and his rating throughout Bayleys NZ, but unfortunately we feel his after sales service was lacking. Our opinions were based on our previous house sales and how we ran our own businesses. We are all different, but in the sales game the most important person is the client.

18 Orchard Way Bethlehem
After four months of searching for our family home, it was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with Michelle. From our very first interaction, she made a strong impression with her honesty, professionalism, and respectful communication. In fact, we ended up closing the deal for 18 Orchard Way within just a week of meeting her - a testament to the trust and clarity she brought into the process. Although Michelle officially represented the vendors, she always treated us with fairness and integrity. It genuinely felt like she was working to bring both sides toward the best possible outcome, and she did so with a calm, dignified approach that we truly appreciated. We’re incredibly happy with the property and equally happy with the way Michelle facilitated the journey. She navigated everything with great care, and her ability to mediate with professionalism and empathy stood out at every step. Thank you, Michelle, for helping make this milestone such a positive experience. We wish you all the very best in the future - you’re not only a fantastic real estate agent but also a truly lovely person. May you have many more happy clients to come! Warm regards, Alex & Mariana Goldberg
9 Whitby Place Welcome Bay
We had a particularly complex situation to navigate, needing to sell our existing home and purchase a new one at the same time. From the very beginning, Michelle at Harcourts was absolutely exceptional. She guided us through every step of the process with professionalism, empathy, and unwavering dedication. Michelle made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience feel seamless and manageable. Her deep knowledge of the market, her attention to detail, and her strong communication made all the difference. She was always available to answer our questions, provide reassurance, and go the extra mile to make sure everything stayed on track; even when unexpected challenges arose. Thanks to Michelle’s efforts, we not only sold our property but also found the perfect new home for our family. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and would recommend her and the Harcourts team without hesitation. We will absolutely use them again in the future!
