Charise and Scott make a great team. We were trying to sell my elderly mother's property from the Manawatu, while she was still living in the house. Charise made Mum feel very comfortable as this was quite a stressful time for her. Our dealings with Charise were prompt. The information she provided was informative. Thanks Charise for easing Mum's concerns, for that we are very grateful.
From the first contact we were put at ease. We were selling my mother's property, who is elderly, and Scott was very professional and respectful. We were trying to sell this property from the Manawatu, with my mother still residing in the house which to us was a daunting prospect. Scott allayed any fears we might have had, by the end of the first zoom call. His communication was outstanding. He kept us informed the whole way through , as well as my mother. The highest kudos that we could give Scott, is that we would have no hesitation in engaging him again as a real estate agent. Five star effort Scott. Thank you so very much.
Anah partnered with Chris Gemmell on our auction campaign, and we found her professionalism, knowledge, and support invaluable. Her calm, reassuring manner and clear communication were consistently on point. Highly recommended

Chris' knowledge and professionalism were apparent from our first meeting His communication was direct and his manner reassuring. Chris' marketing strategy was data driven which invited high interest from the outset. this in turn lead to a competitive and successful auction. Highly recommended.
Realene was very responsive and diligent with the marketing in a difficult market. We found their market knowledge up to date and helpful. We appreciated their consideration for our family situation as it was tough to do open homes with 2 young children. Realene not only found a buyer for our house, but found us the right home to buy. Thank you Realene and Colin, it was a pleasure working with you.
Belinda and her team are excellent to deal with, her communication and knowledge of the market was spot on, right from finding the property to the after service has been extremely valuable
Misaki found our dream home. Her patience, knowledge, communication and guidance was outstanding. Misaki was always professional and responsive. If you are looking for a home, she is the one you want walking alongside you. Highly recommend.
After a six months of weekly open homes and missing out on multiple properties we were about ready to give up until we meet Paul, after viewing one of his listings that wasn’t quite right for us, he did something no other agent had done yet, asked us what we were looking for. Turns out he had a property that ticked all of our boxes and within 10 minutes we were having a private viewing of what is now our home. Paul has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has gone above and beyond in the process, as first home buyers it’s easy to feel out of your depth but Paul has made this a breeze. If you get the chance to work with Paul as either a buyer or a vendor, you can expect a level of service that’s rare.
Thank you for assisting with the sale of our property. The process was completed successfully, and we appreciate the effort and time invested throughout the campaign. Wishing you all the best for the future.
We engaged Paul to sell our home after a chance conversation in the neighbourhood. He had excellent local market knowledge, and we felt very comfortable with the plan he set out for our home. As we progressed the housing market hit a couple of roadblocks through the external pressures of U.S/Iran. Paul took this in his stride and helped us navigate the challenges and presented a couple of options and strategies to deal with the change. We sold within a timeline that suited our next move, and Paul was instrumental in delivering this outcome. I highly recommend Paul to anybody who wants a transparent and well-planned process. Thank you.
