We had a fantastic experience with Wanly. Communication was always clear, prompt and friendly, and they kept us well informed throughout the whole process. Their knowledge of the market and professional advice gave us great confidence, and their negotiation skills helped us achieve a great result. We are very happy with the sale and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and trustworthy agent.
Prior to listing our property we had numerous discussions over several months where Yin Yin helped us learn and understand the current market. During the sale campaign she held many additional open homes on top of the pre planned 2 every weekend, to ensure every buyer was reached pre auction. She prepared us for the process and was always quick to respond anytime of day. We appreciate how easy she made the buying and selling process.
We had a very positive experience dealing with Ann Emerson throughout our property purchase in Browns Bay. Ann was professional, approachable and very responsive throughout the process, and made what can be a stressful property purchase feel much easier. She was always helpful when we had questions and was proactive in helping coordinate things such as the building inspection. I particularly appreciated how easy she was to communicate with and how willing she was to help when we needed information or clarification. Ann was also very professional in dealing with the different parties involved and made the overall process straightforward and well organised. Her friendly and genuine approach gave us confidence that we were being looked after throughout the purchase. We really appreciated Ann's support and would happily recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
Not really sure where to start with this review as I'm not sure I can put into words how happy we are. After 16yrs living in our house in Browns Bay, full of happy memories of our children growing up, it was a daunting decision to sell. Her kind, caring, funny, bubbly personality won us over though and we thought lets just go for it! It wasnt an easy market, with the conflict between the US and Iran starting as soon as we had committed to sell, house prices were dropping so we were getting nervous. Sarah stayed positive, honest, loyal from the start. She listened to what we wanted and needed and fiercely supported our decision - much to the annoyance of some bargain hunters! With that being said - selling just 200k+ over the CV speaks volumes we think. Her sales and negotiation skills were seriously outstanding. I've never experienced a sales agent who was so hardworking and dedicated. Thank you Sarah, you've helped us close one chapter and begin another with our lovely new home you helped us buy in Gulf Harbour, and we couldnt be happier. We will always be grateful for your kindness, guidance and unwavering support.
Sylvia was very professional. She communicated well.
Becky was fantastic to work with. She was attentive, responsive, and highly professional throughout the entire process. She communicated clearly, followed up consistently, and was always available to answer questions or provide guidance. I especially appreciated how creative and thoughtful she was in developing strategies to market the property and navigate different situations as they arose. Her knowledge, persistence, and hands-on approach made the process much smoother and gave me confidence that the property was in capable hands. I would highly recommend Becky to anyone looking for an experienced, proactive, and dedicated real estate professional.

I cannot recommend Jo Harwood highly enough. From our very first meeting through to settlement, Jo demonstrated exceptional professionalism, integrity, and dedication. Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but Jo made the entire process feel seamless through her outstanding communication, calm guidance, and meticulous attention to detail. Jo's knowledge of the local market was evident in every decision she made. Her advice on presenting the property, marketing strategy, and pricing proved to be spot on, resulting in an excellent outcome. She kept me fully informed throughout the campaign, was always available to answer questions, and negotiated confidently and skillfully on my behalf. What impressed me most was that Jo genuinely cared about achieving the best possible result rather than simply completing a sale. She worked tirelessly, remained positive throughout, and consistently exceeded my expectations. Her honesty, warmth, and commitment inspired complete confidence from start to finish. If you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, hardworking, trustworthy, and truly committed to her clients, I would recommend Jo Harwood without hesitation. She did an outstanding job selling my home, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she did.
With weekly feedback and increased exposure on social media, I was able to sell my house at a reasonable price even in this sluggish market. I would choose Linda again.
The property didn’t sell at auction, so the process ended up being longer and more complicated than we had hoped. Ann stayed positive, continued working hard behind the scenes and helped navigate the negotiations and conditions that came with the eventual offer. She communicated clearly, kept me informed and was always approachable and realistic about where things stood. I particularly appreciated her persistence after the auction and the care she took to keep everything moving towards a successful result. Selling a property can be stressful, especially when it doesn’t follow the original plan, but I always felt Ann was genuinely working in my best interests. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to sell on the North Shore.
