Helped us find our first home. In depth knowledge of market and area. Very prompt and diligent. Was honest and direct with feedback. Overall made house hunting an enjoyable experience.
We had a really lovely experience with Ella. She was always easy to get hold of, quick to respond and happy to answer all our questions, no matter how small or silly they are. She was friendly, approachable and clearly knew her stuff. We had two open homes, and everything was well organised. We really appreciated how helpful and supportive Ella was throughout the process. It made the whole experience much easier and less stressful for us. Thank you, Ella, for all your help. We really enjoyed working with you!

I very much appreciated Julie's professional expertise and her thoughtful and personable nature as she went above and beyond to achieve a wonderful result in the sale of our parents' home. Julie worked incredibly hard for us, marketed the home beautifully, and efficiently coordinated the many appointments, Open Homes and follow-ups. She took time to communicate promptly to us all of the updates and ensured that we understood the process to enable us to make informed decisions throughout. I thank Julie for her outstanding work on our behalf and highly recommend Julie as an exceptional agent.
"Nicole was absolutely outstanding throughout the buying process. She was consistently professional, warm, approachable, and genuinely helpful during every open home. She was honest and transparent about the property’s condition, providing clear and accurate information without hesitation. She also went above and beyond to help us obtain the necessary documents and offered valuable, professional advice whenever we needed it. Her excellent communication, patience, and genuine care made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. We truly appreciated her integrity and dedication, and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Highly recommended!"
I highly recommend Ava. Throughout our house-hunting process, she were incredibly patient and never tired of taking us to view properties until we found the right one. Every property they showed us matched our requirements, which saved us a lot of time and made the whole process much easier. They were also very attentive, detail-oriented, and always happy to answer our questions. Excellent service from start to finish!
Margaret has sold for us before, so it was an easy decision to engage her services again. As always Margaret worked tirelessly with buyers, agents and general enquiries throughout the campaign. Margarets' professionalism & efficient, friendly manner makes everyone feel at ease and gave us great confidence, which in turn gave us a great result on Auction Day. A VERY happy vendor & extremely excited buyers' children! Thank you, Margaret, for all that you do and do so extremely well. Barry & Lynda McKenzie
We are very happy with the service Jay and Michelle provided throughout our property buying journey. Jay was incredibly patient, helpful and responsive. Whenever we needed anything, he was quick to arrange a time to help us, whether it was organising property photos, coordinating with the tenants, or arranging access to the property. He was always approachable, easy to communicate with and willing to go the extra mile to help us. We really appreciated his patience, efficiency and support throughout the process. We would highly recommend Jay and Michelle to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Alison and Gemma sold our home for us recently and achieved a very satisfactory sale price. They were highly professional during the campaign and kept us well informed at every stage. We didn't end up with any bidders at auction and Alison took us through the next process and managed to present us with 4 offers 2 days post auction. I can highly recommend Alison and Gemma to sell your home and wouldn't hesitate to use the team again.
It has been a truly pleasant experience working with Michelle and her team. I am based in Auckland and needed to sell my property in Christchurch. Although I knew some well-known local agents, I decided to contact Michelle after searching online. Following several phone conversations, I chose her because of her sincerity, professionalism, strong work ethic, and respect for both clients and industry colleagues. My property is a 60-year-old building that had not been renovated for over two decades and was tenanted. After signing the agency agreement in early August, Michelle and her team promptly contacted the property manager and tenants. They were always polite and considerate, even bringing small gifts to the tenants to acknowledge the inconvenience of viewings. This thoughtful approach really impressed me. Instead of publicly marketing the property, the team adopted a targeted approach, inviting prospective buyers to view it and carefully understanding their feedback and price expectations. In about five weeks, they obtained offers from three different groups. Throughout the process, Michelle and her team kept us regularly informed and managed numerous negotiations with professionalism and patience. Jay also deserves special recognition for his passion, dedication, and hard work. Ultimately, the sale became unconditional in 10 weeks without the property ever being publicly marketed—a fantastic result that reflects the team's strategic approach and commitment. I sincerely appreciate Michelle and her team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property. They are professional, considerate, hardworking, and simply superb!
