Throughout the whole process of selling our lovely property in a tricky market, we received excellent communication from Fiona and the team.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with John and Vaughn. From start to finish, they were professional, approachable, and incredibly easy to work with. Their communication was outstanding—always keeping us informed, answering questions quickly, professionally, and making the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. They went above and beyond to ensure everything stayed on track, and their knowledge and guidance gave us complete confidence every step of the way. We highly recommend John and Vaughn to anyone looking to buy or sell—truly a top-notch experience! So pleased we went with John and Vaughn, our home went unconditional 16 days after going on the market. The professional advertising with an absolutely brilliant photographer really put us on the front foot. It wasn’t the easiest market to sell in, what a brilliant result! Thank you both so much, and also we are very appreciative of Amelia.
Thank you, Gavin, for your help with the sale of our property. We only needed one buyer, and you delivered—introducing us to a wonderful couple who will appreciate the home as much as we have. Selling a unique property was always going to be interesting, but you embraced the challenge and guided us through with confidence. Your knowledge, willingness to listen, and steady support made all the difference throughout this journey
As the purchaser of a property Gavin listed I was impressed by how helpful and knowledgeable when it came to us being out of district and purchasing a Lifestyle property. Gavin made regular contact to see how our sale journey was going and if he could be of any help. It impressed me that he obviously genuinely cared for his Seller but also that he would make time for us as the buyer. He was able to provide all the information we needed and was conduit to the owners who are a fantastic couple, starting their next adventure. Gavin goes the distance to ensure both parties found an outcome that works and means we get to start a new life in HB. I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending Gavin and for sure we will use him in the future if our plans change!
Fiona has made our new lifestyle block purchase easy with timely engagement and fast responses to questions and inquiries. Would recommend her to friends and use her services in the future if required.
We worked with Fiona on our recent house sale and she was fantastic. Great clear communication, set postive yet realistic expectations whilst getting us the best possible result.
