Buyer of 522 Webb Drive, Chartwell
From the minute I walked into the open home that Hugo was hosting I felt supported, guided and absolutely no pressure. Hugo was not pushing but he sure knows how to sell a house. He was informative, extremely responsive and made the process of buying my first home super stress free. Hugo was flexible and ensured I knew everything there was to know. Hugo was professional but had a fantastic personal touch which made me feel like I was in the best hands. If I ever buy or sell in the future, Hugo will be the first person I go to!

We loved dealing with Hugo and the Hartels crew, love having Hugo for direct communication and then being backed by the Hartele team meant no delays in all the admin around selling a house. You cant can count on Hugo, before, during and after the sale.
Buyer of 22 Seamer Pl, Saint Andrews
We first met Hugo at an open home for another property and explained what we were looking for. He listened carefully and introduced us to a property that was exactly right for us. Within less than a week, we had secured the deal. Hugo made the entire transaction seamless and stress-free. His communication, professionalism and understanding of our needs were exceptional. We absolutely love our new home, but when the time eventually comes for our next move, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with Hugo again. We couldn’t have asked for more and highly recommend him. Thanks, Hugo!

We bought the house through John and Lodge about 14 years ago. And now he has helped us with the sale. In all proceedings he has been approachable, helpful and trustworthy. He has communicated clearly and regularly and guided us through the whole process carefully and professionally.
Seller of 32 Caernarvon Street, Dinsdale
We have really apreciated the help & advice we received over the past 18 months or so from John Gavin. John was always available & happy to offer advice . It became obvious to us that he was very experienced. John was very patient with us and in no hurry as he was with us for about 18 months and we were on a very uncertain road.The experience was arduous but we felt we were in good hands. When getting a sale did not seem to be happening John made some changes to his approach. He even offered to stand aside & let us go through someone else. We declined that as we felt that John with his experiance was on the right path. We had a potential buyer who was hoping to sell his place first. Later John told us to let this guy go as he had another possibility, then suddenly a new cash buyer said he wanted to be in the place in 4 weeks. That made things a bit difficult but with Johns help we got through it all. He even corrected our agent's advice in Tauranga on what day to move out, this plan worked well as we were out of our place & into our new place all an the same day. As this was our first move in 50 years we totally relied on John for advice about when to contact our soliciter etc. We would highly recomend John to anyone who was buying or selling as we know they would be in vey safe experienced hands. Thankyou John, Len & Janet Daniell

David has been an outstanding real estate agent throughout both the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home. What impressed me most was his honesty. He always gave us professional, genuine, balanced and practical advice, even when it differed from our own views. Looking back, we realised that his advice was based on a realistic understanding of the market, and his judgement proved to be right. We're grateful that he always had our best interests at heart, which gave us the confidence to make important decisions throughout the process. Communication was excellent from start to finish. David was always responsive, kept us updated, and made sure every question was answered promptly. Whenever an issue arose, he acted quickly to find a solution. This transaction was far from straightforward, involving multiple parties. David did an exceptional job coordinating everyone and following up on every detail, ensuring nothing was overlooked. His proactive communication and organisation kept everything moving smoothly and under control, even when unexpected challenges came up. Most importantly, David is someone you can genuinely trust. He is reliable, professional, hardworking, and always puts his clients' interests first. We truly appreciate all the effort he put into making what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, honest and dependable real estate agent. When we're ready for our next move, David will be the first person we call, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends. Thank you again for all your hard work!
Seller of 9 Aintree Street, Nawton
Working with David was a genuinely positive experience. He has a strong understanding of the local market and was able to explain everything in a way that was helpful without being overbearing. What we appreciated most was his balanced approach as he offered a good insight for us to make decisions, but never made us feel pressured or talked down to. David is friendly, approachable, and always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. His communication is consistent and thoughtful, and he made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. We always felt supported while still having the space to make our own decisions. We would happily recommend David to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, respectful, and easygoing real estate agent.
Buyer of 9 Aintree Street, Nawton
Communications with David were always clear and responses timely. We spotted this home as one of many coming to market and identified it as very suitable for our purposes. From the time I walked into the first open home, until now, with the deal signed, sealed and delivered, at every step David has been more than helpful in moving the process forward. As out of town buyers, David has also been helpful in giving us contact information for local tradies. We have dealt with many agents over the years. David is definitely in the top two. Attentive… not pushy. Thanks David

Sheryl thank you You just got on with it. You sold my mums property and my property it was quick and easy. You kept me in the loop throughout and I appreciate your understanding of the current property market. As this was an emotional time for me you listened, understood but kept me on task. You made the process less daunting for me. I really appreciate all you have done for me with both properties. I can now look to the future.
