Nicky was really helpful, positive and pleasant. She had done the research and was an easy, honest communicator. Thanks Nicky for helping make the potentially anxious process of buying our castle, a joyful one 🤩

Nicky is approachable, friendly and will go that little bit extra to understand what you are looking for, your lifestyle and any special needs. There are very few Real Estate Agents that make you feel like they are on your team, but Nicky will take the time to fit you to the right property. Her follow up and extras leave you feeling privileged to have found her, from answering silly questions to providing solid advice, it really feels like you have a guardian angel helping you navigate your next (and in our case) dream property. Thanks so much Nicky, I look forward to a celebratory drink once all the moving trucks have left.

From the 'get-go', Neal showed his massive experience in bringing our heritage 1880s property to the market. Missing the mark four years ago in a falling market, was tough for us all, but this time he succeeded at lightning speed, offering us an off-market listing with no marketing costs! And getting a price above RV. We appreciated the Sothebys style of management where qualified buyers are shared across agents; it was a real asset having an agent for the buyer and Neal for us the vendors. Excellent negotiation skills. Plus, Neal has a great gift for staging and takes pride in presenting your home as if it were his own.
145 Milton Road Bluff Hill
Neal was an absolute pleasure to deal with and made our move to Napier feel genuinely welcoming from the outset. He represented the property so well that you’d be forgiven for thinking it was his own. The house was beautifully presented, clearly well cared for, and Neal’s knowledge of it was detailed and practical, which gave us real confidence as buyers. We were working to a tight and fairly immovable timeline, and Neal was incredibly accommodating, calm, and solutions-focused in helping us make it all work. Communication was warm, clear, and consistent throughout, and the whole process felt well supported rather than transactional. Buying a home can be stressful, but Neal’s approach made it a very positive and enjoyable experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Napier area.

I have used Neal to sell my house as I bought it from him too. As both the purchaser and the vendor he made everything happen and made it easy for me. Happy to get in the middle and have conversations with all involved to smooth the way with a very practical how can we make this happen approach. Then there is his sense of style both interiors and landscaping that will help to make a property attractive to as many people as possible - great ideas and they certainly made a difference. His knowledge of the Hawkes Bay market and how it sits within the wider national market and therefore who the target market for the property is extremely helpful too. This proved to be 100% accurate in the case of selling my property. He is creative and realistic in the marketing approach, making sure we spend the right amount to sell without overspending unnecessarily. I would trust Neal every time to negotiate the best possible outcome for both parties, whether selling or buying. I couldn't recommend Neal highly enough to sell your property, he will get the best price possible in whatever market you are selling in!

Vaughan and John were incredible, from start to finish they went the extra mile to deliver a quick sale at the price we were hoping for. Communication was great the whole time and the process was smooth and informed. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell on the hill!
117 Priestley Terrace Bluff Hill
We recently sold our home with Vaughn and John, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their market knowledge and strategic approach were evident right from the first meeting. They kept us informed at every step. If you want a team that is professional, proactive, and results-driven, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

John and Vaughan made the whole experience stress free. John gave us a friendly welcome at the first open home, and from there Vaughan guided us through the rest of the house buying journey. He arranged a private viewing to help us make up our minds, and then made sure he was there for us with any questions or concerns we had throughout the remainder of the process; Always on the end of the phone, but never overbearing. It was the perfect balance of communication and client care. Compared to our experience with two other real estate agencies, the service and level of attention to detail from Sotherby's was truly exceptional. We can't thank them enough! A world apart from other agencies.
