Agencies in Forrest Hill, Auckland

experience and low key approach appreciated

Barry is a very professional real estate agent. He is always neat and tidy, and he presents himself in a way that gives you confidence from the start. His communication is excellent — he provides feedback after every viewing and keeps you updated throughout the entire process. He is not pushy at all. Instead, he explains everything clearly and allows you to make your own decisions at your own pace. His market knowledge is strong, and he gives honest advice based on real data and experience. One of the big reasons I chose this company is their reasonable success rate and the fact that they cover the upfront marketing fees, which helped me a lot. They deliver the same level of service as other real estate companies, if not better. Barry even went above and beyond by changing some of the lightbulbs in my property at his own cost and time — and he only told me after the sale. His professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to help made the whole experience smooth and stress‑free. Highly recommended.

I’ve worked with Barry for a couple of years now, and I genuinely can’t recommend him highly enough. He first marketed our property a few years ago before we decided to hold onto it and rent it out. When we decided to sell again, we enlisted Barry's expertise, and I'm so glad we did because what followed was a far more complex process than anyone expected, including significant repairs. Throughout all of this, Barry was outstanding. Both myself and the other owner were located out of town, so we were completely reliant on him to manage everything on the ground, and he did exactly that. From organising trades and overseeing repairs to arranging cleaners and flagging things we didn’t even know needed attention, he took care of it all. Barry's communication was consistently excellent. He was responsive, proactive, and incredibly accommodating with time zones, always making time to speak, even when I was reaching out at odd hours from overseas. This wasn’t a straightforward sale, and the amount of time and effort he put in behind the scenes was significant. At every step, we felt supported and confident that everything was being handled properly. Barry is professional, reliable, and genuinely great to work with. I highly reccommend him as your next sales agent.

Alex was very helpful with the negotiation process. He was always willing to answer questions I had about purchasing the property and finalizing a purchase price that the vendor and I agreed on. I found Alex friendly, professional, with a good understanding of the housing market.

We interviewed several agents before we selected Tom, and we were picky. Grateful we got it right.  Tom sold our property within three weeks of going to market, in a very difficult market. We were very grateful for how he handled the whole process. His experience in the game showed when he was calm and composed about it all, meanwhile working hard. He was reachable at all times of the day,  till very late at night, showing his dedication. From the start, Tom spent a lot of time explaining the selling process. He took us through each stage patiently and made sure we understood what was happening and why. He was open and transparent and didn’t sugarcoat anything.  He is ‘to the point’ and tells you how he sees it, including the buyer feedback. That can occasionally be a little daunting to hear, but it meant we always knew where we stood and could make clear decisions rather than guess what the market was thinking. Tom understands buyers well and works hard to engage with them. His team was excellent to deal with, and the staging suppliers he recommended were of a very high standard. His strategy is to underpromise /set realistic expectations and overdeliver, and that’s exactly what happened for us. He’s friendly, down-to-earth, and easy to deal with, and he got us a great result. The gist - In a market where every agent promises you the world, Tom knows what he is doing and is realistic! I’d happily recommend Tom to anyone looking to sell. Thank you, Tom!

Good offer and very detail.
