I was really anxious about listing my home for sale but with Alisa, Alison and the Bayleys team there for me every step of the way they made things less daunting for me. Everyone at Bayleys is so friendly, kind hearted and approachable I really enjoyed my experience and felt really looked after. There was clear detailed communication from the get go that was helpful throughout the whole process. Very professional with high standards, great knowledge in all areas and expertise, I know I made the right decision listing with Alisa&Alison at Bayleys and would definitely use them again for future selling or buying. I can highly recommend to anyone!
The most important thing for me dealing with Alisa was that she responded so quickly to all my requests and with working full time she was so accommodating to explain the steps to take, timing etc. I was very greatful for all her expertise and cannot speak more highly of her and Alison.
We chose Alison as our agent because of her reputation as Taupo’s top selling agent Alison has an in-depth knowledge of Taupo’s. Real estate and excellent communication skills making the whole selling process stress free.
We have known Grant and Clare for many years and have dealt with them both on previous purchases hence the reason to have them as our agents again. Both are very professional , a pleasure to deal with. Communication is excellent. The business of buying, selling and a auction , which could be very stressful was handled beautifully. Clare and Grant still have passion to get the best results for their clients
We used Rachel and Kylie because we had brought a home from Rachel previously and have a huge amount of respect for her and can only give her the highest praise possible. The whole team is awesome, communication is on point and they are exceptionally skilled in their work. They make what can be a stressful time, easier. We can not recommend them highly enough.
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
