He showed me recent sales in my area. Explained things when I asked questions. He got an excellent price for my home. Always polite and helpful made me feel like I was his only client. Suggested a lawyer for me to use. Great guy
Liam came through with a great purchaser for our property. We found him to be honest and straight up. Answered all our silly questions and we will be using him again in the near future.
Mel was very professional in all phases of our purchase. All emails, text messages or message bank calls were promptly attended to. Even a pre purchase inspection was handled by Mel and reported promptly with photos as requested. Would highly recommend Mel to any party seeking to sell. I know the vendors in our sale were very happy with their agent.
Pat believed in the potential of our property, communicated well throughout the listing phase.
Mel was always available for us and explained the process in simple terms. Mel managed to close a sale on our house without compromising our expectations. Mel handled all paperwork efficiently making the process stress free, showing genuine care and support. We highly recommend Mel as a trusted real estate agent to sell your house, someone who has great market knowledge who is reliable. Happy vendors Donna & Gavin 😊
Michelle is awesome communication skills, knows her job well, gets on well with all people, knows her market well and has great negotiating skills.
We found Pat easy to deal with. She had a good understanding of the market, provided good communication and was professional in all aspects of the process.
Highly recommend Liam who knows his stuff and provided practical advice during a challenging time.
Trident High School runs a building programme - ATT (Allied Trades Training) which we renovate a house. This is the second year we have been running this programme. Sharnika approached the school as she was aware of the programme through media publications. Both myself and the principal - Mikaere October were pretty blown away by her offer of advertising the house for sale via The Northern Group, One Roof and Trade Me all free of charge! The amazing team from The Northern Group team visited and professional photos were taken. These were shared online where we had amazing numbers visit the sites. During this time Sharnika kept us informed about any potential buyers with great communication all the way along our journey, she was very professional and friendly to deal with. As the ATT programme is a school run project we really appreciated all the time and effort that Sharnika put in, we would like to acknowledge her community spirit as all her services were free of charge. I would highly recommend Sharnika and The Northern Group Real Estate, they are community minded and care about their clients. Sharnika sold the house to a local couple so we are pleased the ATT House is staying in Whakatane.
Michelle did a superb job in assisting us in the sale of our house. Her market appraisal was accurate and realistic. There were inevitably some family dynamics to navigate, and Michelle worked with us seamlessly to deliver the right outcome. We trusted her advice throughout the process, and are thankful we did. We got the right result, in a calm and measured fashion, and felt that we had a voice throughout the whole experience. I would have no hesitation in using Michelle's services again. Or enthusiastically recommending her services to others. A really positive experience !

With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
