Tommy was very diligent in his communication without being pushy. He took time to carefully consider what we were looking for in a house, and endeavored to show us properties we would be interested in. We appreciated his integrity and sense of humor. We would happily recommend him to others.
Wayne and Edmund were flexible, accomodating positive and achieved a great outcome with minimal fuss. Very client focused, there was never a sense of agent self interest but really wanting to provide a good service with our interests at heart. A great team either Wayne or Edmund always responsive. Highly recommend .
Chris and Will are really friendly personable guys , they set up a group chat so we could talk and share documents, listed out all the bits and pieces we need to get lined up, gave us advice on staging and advertising. Found a buyer in a tight market and closed the sale, what more could we ask for.
It was a pleasure to work with Erin. She is extremely helpful and supportive. Quick to respond to any queries, and very knowledgeable. Thanks!!
Chris worked alongside Will on this sale. While my interactions were solely with Chris, the overall process was smooth and seamless — a credit to them both as a team. Chris has now help me purchase a home and help me sold two homes, spanning over a decade of working together. In that time, I have never once doubted that I was in the best possible hands. What sets Chris apart is not just his professionalism and deep knowledge of the Wellington market — it's his attitude. He is relentlessly positive, always working, and never makes you feel like anything is too hard. Whether the market is up or down, Chris approaches every situation with energy and a calm confidence that puts you completely at ease. He is the kind of agent who genuinely feels like a trusted friend, yet never loses that sharp professional edge that gets results. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so without hesitation. If you are looking for a top Wellington agent, stop looking. Chris is simply the best.
We worked with Chris and Will to sell our property. They were incredibly professional with a relentless energy. Always willing to run open homes and get things done that were needed. Really positive characters that were always so easy to work with. They know the market really really well, and their advice was always pragmatic. Would totally recommend
Wayne and Edmund's experience came through clearly, both in their advice about how to prepare my property for the market and in how to overcome some unexpected difficulties we encountered along the way. They gave me immediate feedback following open homes and additional viewings, and were always available to answer questions. I unreservedly recommend them if you want a positive selling experience and confidence that when you sign the final contract, you are selling for the best price possible.
Chris & Wills, performed very admirably with a strong understanding of people. They targeted the right kind of buyer that they thought would be suitable for our type of house. The bill board was also eye catching & nicely presented with a lovely picture on the interior of the house, it was almost disappointing to see it covered up with the pink sold label. Chris advised us patiently for almost a year on how to clear the house from any clutter but also to leave the interesting things in the house & combine them with professional staging to produce a more unique environment to view for would be buyers. The market was extremely difficult as house prices were lower than previous expectations but Chris kept up a very positive & pleasant attitude throughout some disappointing offers. And eventually the more favourable offers came in. He was always immaculately presented with a range of tasteful suits. He was always approachable & always replied to phone calls, if not immediately then as soon as possible, considering that we were not the only clients he was dealing with. Chris demonstrated amazing enthusiasm for being a realestate agent, working from early morning to late nights & explaining things, informing & answering queries. He was recommended to me as an Island Bay specialist & with his local knowledge he was able to inform would be buyers of all the advantages of living in the bay. We are happy that he found a suitable buyer who we can hand our house over to cherish. I would recommend Chris & Wills to be the agents to sell your house.

The ensured that potential buyers understood our requirements for the sale of the house. They responded promptly to our questions and issues and also those of potential buyers to secure a quick. They are a good team who offer different skills for a successful campaign and sale.

We purchased a property through Paula at the end of 2025. From our first meeting with her she was friendly, informed and we appreciated her responsiveness to our questions. She supported us through the purchase and ensured a smooth process and happy outcome for both parties.
