We couldn’t recommend Drew highly enough. As first-home buyers, the whole process came with plenty of nerves and moments where it would have been easy to make an anxious decision. From the beginning, he was fantastic with communication and always kept us informed. What really stood out was the way he helped keep us calm and focused when things got stressful. Rather than letting us react emotionally, he helped us develop a plan and progress accordingly. That strategy ultimately helped us secure our first home, and we genuinely don’t think we would have navigated the process as confidently without his support. Professional, communicative, strategic and genuinely invested in getting the right outcome for everyone invloved. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
We couldn't be happier with the experience. This was actually our second sale with Brian, so we already knew we were in good hands. He was quick to respond, incredibly knowledgeable, and helped us with every task along the way. The entire team was excellent as well, making the whole process feel seamless. Even with us based in Europe and the property sale happening in New Zealand, the entire process was an absolute breeze thanks to their professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend Brian and his team to anyone looking for a real estate agent who truly goes above and beyond.
I couldn’t be happier with my choice to sell with Laurie and Jana. From start to finish, the communication was exceptional. I had a lot of questions throughout the process, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Every question was answered clearly and patiently, and I always felt comfortable asking for clarification when I needed it. I was kept well informed at every stage, with regular updates so I always knew what was happening and what to expect next. They were always happy to explain things in a way that made everything easy to understand, which took a lot of the stress and uncertainty out of the process. I really appreciated how attentive and responsive they were, and I genuinely felt supported throughout the whole experience. Selling a property can be a stressful process, but their communication and professionalism made it feel so much easier. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an agent who is approachable, attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to making the process as smooth as possible. Five stars without hesitation!
I wanted to provide feedback about my experience with Tony, as he deserves recognition for the excellent service he provided throughout what was a long and sometimes challenging process. Having had a very negative experience with another real estate agent from the same company in 2024, I was initially hesitant about using the company again. My experience with Tony, however, was completely different, and he went a long way towards restoring my confidence in the company. I worked with Tony for approximately 16 months while searching for the right home and preparing to sell my own. I certainly wasn't the easiest customer! From the beginning, I was clear that I did not want to be pressured or mucked around, and Tony always respected that. Tony has excellent knowledge of the local property market and consistently provided clear, realistic and well-informed advice. He was incredibly patient, listened to my concerns and never made me feel pressured into a decision that wasn't right for me. He was always willing to think outside the square and explore different options. His communication was excellent. He was prompt in responding to messages and calls, kept me informed and was always approachable when I had questions. Even when I was stressed or asking lots of questions, I never felt like an inconvenience. What I appreciated most was the trust Tony built with me. Buying and selling a home is a significant financial and personal decision, and I always felt he was acting in my best interests. He was honest when I needed advice, patient when I needed time, and supportive without ever being pushy. After my previous experience, Tony made a huge difference. He represented the company extremely well and demonstrated the professionalism, integrity and customer service I would expect from a great real estate agent. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Tony to anyone. He was fantastic to work with, and I am very grateful for his time, patience and effort.
I had a great experience working with Harman when purchasing my home at 1112 Francis Hicks. From the beginning, Harman was always approachable and responsive. He kept me closely updated throughout every stage of the process and was always available whenever I had questions or needed assistance. What I particularly appreciated was the way he helped with communication and negotiations with the vendor. He was patient, professional, and always worked hard to understand and accommodate my requests. He also went above and beyond by helping me with other arrangements related to the purchase, which made the whole process much easier for me. Harman was able to accommodate all of my requests and made what can be a stressful process feel much smoother and more straightforward. I would strongly recommend Harman to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. He is a genuinely great agent who is professional, reliable, responsive, and really cares about helping his clients. Thank you, Harman, for all your help and support throughout the purchase!
Omg where to start well just wow he goes above and beyond of what is required and never hesitated on the questions I had thanks again Pete
Pete Scott and team were excellent in providing clear advice on the best way to prepare and market our property for sale. They demonstrated outstanding local market knowledge and identified the most likely pool of target buyers. This greatly assisted us as vendors, managing expectations on the process and price. This in turn enabled a very smooth an consultative selling process. We would highly recommend them as real estate agents.
We’ve worked with Nick on a number of occasions now. He’s a nice guy who and he keeps things simple in what can be a complex process.
Caleb and his team made selling easy.
24/7 service and he was 100% committed to achieving a deal that satisfied everyone involved. As first home buyers he didn’t try to bullshit us into a bad deal that we would regret, instead he helped steer us in the right direction.

With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do.
