Right from our initial meeting Brian's communication and professionalism was excellent. He demonstrated in depth knowledge and understanding of the local Upper Hutt market, which resulted in my property selling quicker than I anticipated. I appreciated Andrea's talent with staging and prompt feedback regarding open homes. I was overseas when an offer was being negotiated and I really appreciated Brian going out of his way to keep me informed and complete the sale. I had full confidence in his ability as an agent.
Brian and Andrea have been absolutely fantastic from the very beginning of our first-home-buying journey. They have always been prompt, professional and incredibly helpful, going out of their way to offer a hand whenever we needed it. Their communication, kindness and support made the whole process so much easier and less stressful. We are truly grateful to have had them by our side for such a special milestone and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you both for being amazing!

Mark was able to cover every aspect of the selling process very comprehensively. We fully understood the various issues and were able to make good quality decisions in what can be a very complex situation.
Jess is an excellent communicator. She tells you how it is which I found extremely helpful, especially in this current market. She was always available to answer any questions I had and also kept me up to date with how my sale was progressing. Her knowledge of the market is excellent. She is very professional and caring and made my entire selling experience stress free. I have already recommended her to family and friends and if I was selling or buying again would definitely return to her. Highly recommend Jess.

We had an excellent experience purchasing our first home with Lesley, Steve, and Georgia. From the very beginning, they were professional, friendly, and always available to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process. Buying a home can be stressful, but they made everything smooth and straightforward with their excellent communication, patience, and support. We always felt well informed and confident throughout the journey. We truly appreciate all the hard work they put into helping us secure our new home at 11 Roband Crescent. Their dedication and commitment to their clients are outstanding. We highly recommend Lesley, Steve, and Georgia to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you again for making this such a positive and memorable experience!

I*live in Australia and was in a very difficult situation -never sold a house before on behalf of someone. The communication between Steve and I was amazing. Steve listened to me and I to him, explained the procedures to me, helped me when I was confused. The knowledge Steve has was invaluable to me it made my task a lot easier to deal with. When I panicked he calmed me down. Very experienced , patient with the negotiations that were not easy for him. Steve is very professional in his career but also caring and understanding. His character is down to earth, witty , works very hard for you so you can achieve your goal. I could not be happier when I met him in New Zealand. I was very lucky he was recommended. I have learnt a lot from Steve. Steve knows the market very well & his advise was worth taking. I genuinely would recommend Steve to others and know I had made the right decision to do so. Trust is something rare nowadays but Steve is one you can. I achieved my goal with truth and honesty.
Maria and Ash were great to deal with as buyers. They were accommodating to our requirements and happy to help when needed, along with always asking our questions and providing support where needed.
Selling a property can be quite overwhelming. Ashlee made our selling journey smooth and stress free. Ashlee has amazing communication skills and she understands an ever changing market.
