Seller of 30 Tamure Road, Flat Bush
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Haji Deraiya – Barfoot & Thompson, Whitford I recently sold my property at 30 Tamure Road, Flatbush, under very unusual and challenging circumstances. We had to bring Haji on board at extremely short notice, and despite knowing the complexities, he never hesitated. He stepped in immediately, ready to help me and my parents achieve the best possible outcome, while the other agent involved was doing nothing to move the process forward. From the start, Haji showed professionalism, patience, and genuine commitment. His communication was clear and consistent, and his dedication during a difficult market was exceptional. If it wasn’t for his hard work, strategic input, and persistence, we would not have been able to sell our home. His negotiation style with the buyer was something I had never seen before — calm, smart, and strategic. Because of his approach, we achieved exactly what we wanted and were very happy with the final outcome. Haji didn’t just focus on the sale; he cared about our wellbeing. He worked closely with us to organise a rental property so we had somewhere secure to move after settlement. I also worked alongside him to resolve LIM issues, and he was brilliant. His ideas, problem‑solving skills, and ability to communicate with council, developers, and the buyer were invaluable. He continuously liaised with the buyer to ensure a smooth transition during and after the sale. His after‑sale service is outstanding. When issues arose with the property, he personally followed up with the builder, activated the building warranty, and ensured repairs were completed at no cost to us. He didn’t have to do any of this — but he did, because he genuinely cares. Haji is more than just an agent. He looks after the needs of both the vendor and the buyer with integrity, fairness, and compassion. I am truly grateful for everything he has done for my family and me, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a committed and trustworthy agent. Zainal
Buyer of 22A Woodward Road, Mount Albert
He knew exactly what we were after and the vision of what we wanted the place to be. He stood by us as we looked at several properties and changed our minds sometimes, last moment because something just didn’t feel right. Haji found this gem for us even before it was officially listed. Having understood our vision he knew instinctively that this was the one that’s perfect and sure enough, it was perfect in every aspect. Land, location, layout and a perfect vibe. There were instances when we loved the property so much we probably would have ended up paying more than it was worth and regretted it later but he was always our objective voice of reason. He understood our requirements and budging and always kept that front and centre even when we sometimes forgot it. Always ensuring we have our bases covered and that we do not take an emotional decision. Weather you are buying or selling I would highly recommend utilising Haji’s services. You may start of engaging him professionally but I can assure you, you will find a friend in him who you can trust blindly with such a big decision! Thank you again for finding the perfect home for us.

writing to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Haji and Veronica in the sale of our home. From the very beginning, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. Haji and Veronica went above and beyond to guide us through every step of the process. Their market knowledge, strategic approach, and attention to detail made all the difference. They were always available to answer our questions, provide valuable insights, and offer support whenever needed. Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but their dedication and positive attitude made it a seamless and even enjoyable journey.

Buyer of 1 Noble Court, Flat Bush
Brandon was professional and responsive throughout the purchase of our home at 1 Noble Court and successfully guided the transaction through to settlement. Communication was generally clear, and he was available when questions arose during the process. However, as buyers, the experience felt quite one-sided at times. We understand that an agent's primary responsibility is to their vendor, but there was limited engagement with us beyond the core transaction itself. Following settlement, there was no follow-up to check how we had settled into the property or whether everything had been handed over as expected. We also encountered some additional items left behind by the sellers that required our time and effort to remove after taking possession. While this may not have been directly within Brandon's control, it did impact our overall experience and could perhaps have been identified and addressed before settlement. Overall, Brandon was professional and helped facilitate a successful purchase. We would encourage a greater focus on the buyer experience, particularly around post-settlement follow-up and ensuring a smoother handover process, as these small touches can make a significant difference to how clients remember the experience.
Seller of 10 Panoni Lane, Howick
Brandon has a very broad knowledge and was able to provide the correct advice. The market wasn’t great for sellers but we were happy with the price Brandon was able to get. We were also expecting the house to sit on the market of weeks of months but thanks to Brandon’s network, we sold much faster than expected. This helped us tremendously with our next purchase.
Seller of 3 Odessa Crescent, St Heliers
We have now had Brandon and Carol complete two property sales and we have been very pleased with the process and outcomes for each. When dealing with a real estate agent, from our perspective, it is essential to have clear and timely communication along with professional marketing, negotiation, and sale of the property. We sought guidance right at the start of the process, and in each property sale process this proved invaluable. Getting a well-structured plan in place makes a huge difference and pays off. Brandon and Carol bring very solid market knowledge to the process, and they are exceptionally easy to work with from start to finish. We appreciated their honest and grounded feedback in all our discussions. I recommend Brandon and Carol to any potential seller wanting an agency that works with integrity and in a professional manner. Brandon and Carol focused on getting the best outcome they could for us as the seller - and they worked exceptionally hard to get it. We have now had two excellent experiences! Very highly recommended!

Seller of 12 Burford Place, Mellons Bay
Selling our home with Michael Chi recently was a flawless experience from beginning to end. In the beginning he showed a depth of knowledge about the Mellons Bay area and what made properties achieve their potential, based on his experience appraising and selling many similar properties over the years. Through the pre-sale and sale process he displayed a calm, professional and friendly manner with easy and prompt communication. He used his extensive contacts to organise a second round of photographs at short notice on a weekend - trying to find a blue sky, sunny day in July. Fantastic support and feedback throughout the open homes period. As sellers, we always felt Michael was on our side. On auction day, Michael was instrumental in negotiating with the potential buyers and achieved a great result in a difficult market. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michael Chi - he is a great professional and a gentleman in the truest sense of the word.
