Agencies in Churton Park, Wellington

People say “Real estate agents only work for themselves, not the buyer or the seller”. I was viewing many houses and met many agents from different real estate agencies for 8 months. Most of the time, I agree with this saying. However, Marie is the one that changed the stereotypes that I perceived from an agent. Not only did she provide me with helpful information about the house; she was also willing to answer questions that most agents would not answer. She has always been enthusiastic about helping me to find all the answers that I need to make decisions, from the vendor, the council, the trade people, or any one that could help. What I like the most about her was that treated me like a dear friend of hers, rather than a client. She exceeded all the expectations I had toward an agent. In every single step, from viewing the house, to making an offer, and then to the negotiation process, all the way to the settlement date, she was there to help. She gave me advice, she showed me ways of searching for the information that I need. She made me feel safe and certain about every decision that I made along the way. Honest, kind, caring, helpful and trustworthy; that’s Marie. She is truly a God sent gift. I am very grateful that I met her.

We recently sold our property with Chris and Sara. We achieved a result within the estimated price range in a relatively short timeframe, which was important given our need for a timely sale. While the final price was below our initial expectations and some online estimates, we recognise the market realities and prioritised securing a sale without a prolonged process. Communication throughout the campaign was clear and consistent, particularly around open homes, advertising, and buyer interest. Where we would have benefited from more support was earlier in the process — specifically around identifying and resolving potential issues before going to market. Some matters raised in the building report created additional stress, and with more proactive guidance upfront these may have been addressed earlier and more smoothly. Overall, they delivered the key outcome we needed, and we appreciate their work in getting the sale completed.

When we first met Ben, we immediately felt confident that he was someone we could trust. He provided valuable advice on how to effectively market our property and demonstrated a proactive approach throughout the entire process. Each week, Ben kept us well informed with clear updates on perspective buyers and took the initiative to follow up with them for feedback. Ben and his team are highly professional, honest, friendly and supportive, and they are a pleasure to work with. The team is reliable, and we achieved a great result in selling our property despite the challenging market conditions. We are very pleased that we chose Ben and his team to market our home and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for dedicated, reliable real estate professionals.

Lou & Matt are amazing, very friendly and helpful, guiding us through the process of selling our house very smoothly and offering very useful advice along the way. Would definitely recommend them

From our first meeting, we had a great connection with Layne. We were all on the same page and understood our roles to achieve a good outcome. Layne was very efficient and well organised. She co-ordinated the home staging, builders report, the very professional marketing strategy and of course Layne was there for all our open homes. Everything went seamlessly, and the selling process was stress-free. We will be entrusting Layne with another home sale later in the year. Thanks heaps Layne, you've been amazing!
