I highly doubt another Real Estate Agent who would have gone to the lengths that Chris and Will went to, I cannot speak highly enough of Chris and his team. I am based in Australia, while the property being sold was my late mother's two-bedroom home in Island Bay, Wellington. From the very first phone call, Chris and Will took what could have been an incredibly stressful and complicated situation and made it remarkably straightforward. The property presented a number of significant challenges. Chris and his team managed the eviction of difficult tenants, arranged changing of locks, dealt with break-ins, and worked closely with the police to help resolve ongoing issues involving the former tenant. Throughout all of this, they handled every situation professionally, calmly, and with complete confidence. Once the property was secured, they moved incredibly quickly to prepare it for sale. Within weeks they had organised repainting, new carpet, a full professional clean, and beautiful staging of the home. Their attention to detail and ability to coordinate everything remotely was exceptional. What impressed me most was the communication. Being based in Australia, I relied heavily on updates from Chris, and he never disappointed. He kept me informed every step of the way, often communicating outside normal business hours to accommodate the time difference. I always knew what was happening and what the next steps were. Chris is the definition of a client-focused real estate professional. He is proactive, hardworking, honest, and fully invested in achieving the best outcome for his clients. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely grateful for the effort Chris and Will. If I had another property to sell, Chris Robinson would be first on speed dial. I can recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a dedicated and highly capable real estate agent. Rating: 10/10
Edmund's open communication, availability and regular updates gave us confidence in the process. We always felt we were in good hands and that he was working to get us the best result possible. Personable and professional, he helped us navigate each fork and bump in the road along the way. Overall it was a a great experience working with Edmund. We were recommended his services by some friends and we're happy to pass that recommendation forward!
Jason sold our place in a tough market. He was able to sell above the price expectation and did so quickly and efficiently. Excellent communication throughout the process. Always would like a higher price but great effort in tough times. Recommend Jase to others.
David is an experienced operator. Great communication, great market knowledge, great negotiation skills, very polished and professional. Tick tick tick. But added to that: We were very nervous selling in winter, in a tricky Wellington market, but David was reassuring and confident just when we needed it. No rosey story, he tells it as it is, but he is steady. We know that when it comes to selling a house, it comes down to who comes through the door on the day, but we had every confidence that all interested parties were followed up with and all relevant info passed on efficiently. He was available when we needed him and he always replied quickly to any queries from us. We are so grateful to David for his work ethic and sector smarts. It is such a pleasure working with someone who actually does what they say they are going to do. Everything just went as smoothly as it possibly could. Added to that, we are thrilled with the a positive outcome: a swift sale at a good price. We would have no hesitation calling on David with any future property sale needs.
Jason is a fantastic agent. We really enjoyed our house sale - how many people can say that?! Thank you deeply for all your hard work.
Has been exceptionally good to deal with, very responsive to any questions we had, easy to arrange meetings with, and generally a very friendly and relaxed person. Would highly recommend
Iain is so knowledgeable, helpful, trustworthy & organised. I felt my best interests were always represented & no question was a problem to answer. I received updates & guidance when needed. Overall, the whole process was made easy for me. I was so happy with the result & grateful to Iain for all his hard work. Also loved the digital media which perfectly captured the property and area!
We recently purchased one of Edmunds listings in Island Bay, and the whole experience was positive and hassle free. Edmund demonstrated great communication skills, by being quick to respond to queries, and constantly updating when new information arose. He went out of his way to help us with keys for early access, and even stopped in on settlement day (with a bottle of bubbles in hand) to make sure everything was in order. Thank you Edmund for facilitating a stress free transaction.
Chris and Will worked collectively. They both meet at the house to do an initial appraisal and thru out the process they were each aware of what the other was doing, and acknowledged each othets contribution. With the market fluctuations they were open to our input on pricing. They also acknowledged the enhancements we did to the house pre-market and advice they gave us on staging. We liked how they kept us up with open days and the offer and were really helpful with the negotiation process.
Mitch made it easy for us. Explained everything clearly and kept it very profesional
