Kris and Andy, combining their individual knowledge, and expertise secured us a sale in a buyers market, enabling us to move on. We are grateful for their transparency, work ethic, and fantastic communication throughout.
Andy has been a wonderful agent to work with, and has truely had our back during our property's marketing campaign. From his professional guidance and advice based on the latest market information, fronting the weekend and twilight open homes, following up potential purchasers, always keeping us up to date with proceedings, and helping calm frayed nerves with understanding and compassion, we had confidence that everything that could be done to help us, was being done. Andy was instrumental in negotiating the highest sale price possible in a difficult market, and we are very grateful. We have no hesitation, and in fact will be privileged to work with Andy again the next time we need to buy or sell a property.
We have known Helen Shaw for over 10 years and have always trusted her when it comes to buying and selling properties on Auckland's North Shore. Helen recently helped us and our parents with the purchase of 2/100 East Coast Road, and once again, she provided exceptional service from beginning to end. Helen is extremely knowledgeable about the North Shore property market, professional, honest, and genuinely cares about her clients. Her experience, excellent communication, and dedication made the whole buying process smooth and stress-free. Helen is, without doubt, one of the best agents on Auckland's North Shore. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Helen to anyone looking for an outstanding buying or selling agent. Thank you, Helen, for another wonderful experience!
I bought a house listed for Sale by Linda Teng. She has good market knowledge and empathetic approach in understanding the needs of the family and their circumstances. With these she can identify the right kind of house the buyer is looking for and the correct buyer the Vendor needs as it was in my case. Her communication was timely, estimates realistic and follow up was just right. Her response to any queries were prompt and request for any help were immediately forthcoming, be it access to the property for inspection or an extra private viewing at short notice. On the whole, the transaction went smooth without unpleasant surprises and on the expected lines for which Linda should be given credit.
Huge thanks to Linda for helping us sell our house ! Her expert advice and guidance made the entire selling process smooth. She is a true professional who knows the market inside out. Thanks to her hard work and dedication.
Wanly and her team were exceptionally hardworking and dedicated throughout the process. Their in-depth knowledge of the North Shore property market was outstanding, complemented by an extensive and well-established network of potential buyers. Ultimately, their professionalism, market expertise and commitment translated into an excellent result.
We had an outstanding experience working with Wanly Tsang and her Team to purchase 23 Linwood Avenue, Forrest Hill. Where Wanly truly stood out was during the negotiation and auction process. Navigating auctions can be intensely stressful, but Wanly’s strategic guidance, calm demeanor, and sharp market instincts gave us immense confidence under pressure. Her transparent communication and exceptional negotiation skills ensured we secured the property with complete peace of mind. We couldn't recommend Wanly highly enough!
Nadja was great from start to finish. We were selling from Australia, so we relied on her completely, and she made it easy. Communication was fast and clear, she kept us updated at every stage and always told us exactly where things stood. She knew the Forrest Hill market well, understood how to present a home with an income-earning downstairs, and ran a smooth campaign through to auction. Very professional, easy to deal with and we'd happily recommend her to anyone selling on the North Shore.
