61 real estate agents in Churton Park, Wellington

Shannon & Anita provided really good advice between making the decision to sell our house and the time our house went to market. They achieved a reasonable result in a relatively short period to facilitate a purchase on the other end. I do however have some reservations about their process: 1. The mid-point of their appraisal was $30k higher than our bank's valuation and they then suggested a BEO $60k below the mid-point of their appraisal when listing. In hindsight, we should have sought a second opinion at this point as this proved to be a price anchor for potential buyers. 2. There were a few instances in the communication that felt like misrepresentations between going to market and finalising the sale, it didn't always feel like they acted in our best interest. Parts of the process werenot as clear and transparent as I would have expected, given they sell themselves as 'not like the other guys' in the industry. 3. It became clear during the process that a significant portion of the administrative work was outsourced to the Philippines, which wasn’t something we were made aware of initially. Selling your house is a such a significant event and stressful time in your life but it didn't feel like this was reflected throughout parts of the service we received. Ultimately they will get the job but I would personally look elsewhere next time.

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.
