Both Grant and Clare were very professional and have obvious experience in the Taupo real estate market. Would definitely reccomend them. Although, our sale did not acheive our expectations, they acheived a very good deal in a very competitive and challenging environment.
Grant and Clare Bayley were an exceptional team to work with on the sale of our Hilltop home. Their communication was clear and proactive throughout the process, and they were always quick to respond to any questions. Their knowledge of the local Hilltop market was evident in their pricing advice and strategy, and their negotiation skills secured a result we were really happy with. Above all, they were professional, honest, and easy to deal with from start to finish, and I would not hesitate to recommend Grant and Clare to anyone looking to sell in the area.
Milly and the Bailey's Taupo teamwere great to agents deal with good communication after each open home letting us know how many people had been through and passing on feed back about the from interested buyers. Milly and the Baileys Taupo team came through and got us the price we wanted for our home. Communications after the house were lacking though with us not being told when the buyers were doing there final inspection ( all though we weren't staying at the house it would have been nice to be informed)and unanswered texts regarding wht we needed to do with the keys ect when we packed up and finally departed the property.
Great communication skill
Grace and Milly from the get go were so friendly and amazing to deal with. Being first home buyers we were nervous but we were really looked after and had everything explained in good detail. Felt reassured we could ask questions and felt very confident in our buy. Thank you both so much
Milly is a great communicator who goes above and beyond to make something potentially quite stressful, nice and straightforward. We would recommend her to anyone.
