After trying for over a year to sell our property privately, we reluctantly decided to use an agent. Nathan stood out from all the other agents we interviewed and we chose him because of his thoughtfulness and his upfront honesty . From the moment that we signed with his agency we became part of a youthful and enthusiastic team, we were well informed every step of the way , our opinions were noted and respected. We especially saw the value of hiring Nathan when the time came for negotiating the sale, he worked tirelessly to get the sale over the line and achieved a realistic result that we were happy with in the end. My view of using an agent verses private sale has been dramatically changed and we would definitely use Nathan again and unreservedly recommend Team Najib to any one who would like to sell their home.

I would highly recommend Jo. She worked hard, communicated well and was really flexible to suit my needs to get my house sold.
Vickie was a pleasure to work with. She is an excellent communicator who guided us through the sale process with ease. I would highly recommend Vickie to anyone thinking of selling their home.
Throughout the whole process from viewing, placing an offer, right through to settlement and anything that came up in between, I found Hayden to be very helpful, encouraging and super switched on with communication. More importantly was his honesty and authenticity which was very much appreciated. I would be happy to engage Hayden for any future real estate dealings for myself, and will definitely recommend Hayden to others.

All round a great experience of selling and purchasing, highly recommend this talented young real estate agent .
We had a great experience working with Harrison Joseph during the sale of my home. From start to finish, Harrison was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. His communication was excellent, and he always kept us informed and confident every step of the way. Selling a home can be stressful, but Harrison made the experience smooth and straightforward with his guidance and attention to detail. We truly appreciated his hard work, dedication, and commitment to achieving a great result for us. We would highly recommend Harrison Joseph to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Thank you again, Harrison!
Joanna is a hardworking and highly capable agent who goes above and beyond for her clients. With many comparable properties on the market at the same time, we were concerned it might be a challenging sell. However, Joanna did an excellent job of highlighting the unique features of our home to potential buyers, and ultimately secured a great outcome. We couldn’t be happier with the result.
Delivered results in a tough market We couldn't be happier with Liz's service. In what was a genuinely challenging market, she got the deal done — and did it with professionalism throughout. Liz was always easy to reach, kept us informed at every step, and communicated clearly with everyone involved in the process. If you're looking for an agent who delivers results and keeps things running smoothly, we'd highly recommend her.

Very proactive with information and communication. Provided ongoing support even after the sale was complete which was very appreciated. If/when we sell in Christchurch we wouldn’t hesitate to list with Nicola.
