Carl worked very well on our behalf until unfortunately he became unwell and others took the sale through to an auction. He was always positive in his outlook and listened to our concerns and needs. He knows the Wellington sales situation well (which to say the least is not very good at this time). He even did some garden tidying for us!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Sam and Ben to sell our home, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. They were always available to answer our questions, provide updates, and guide us through every step. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to sell our house quickly and at a price that met our expectations. Highly recommend the team to anyone looking to sell a property.
Obviously a well experienced property salesman with efficient and effective team and systems behind him. A good knowledge of the current market Kept us in good communication at all stages of the selling process with a friendly and clear professional approach at all times.
We have just bought and sold with Chris, and he was able to expertly guide us through the process in a very challenging market. We’re super grateful we are about to move to what is going to be our dream house!

Tania set realistic and reasonable expectations in what was a slower market, with clear and honest communication. Her experience and extensive network proved valuable in getting our listing in front of the right buyers and ensuring our home was looking great. I would work with Tania again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone considering selling their home.
Jane and Tom tagged team seamlessly to market and sell my Mother’s house. They were positive, experienced in the Karori market and a joy to work with.
Michael Hinds was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. His communication was outstanding — he kept us fully informed at every stage with prompt, clear updates and was always available to answer questions. What really stood out was his deep market knowledge and sharp negotiation skills. Michael gave us realistic, data-backed advice on pricing and staging, which helped us present the property in the best possible light. When offers came in, he negotiated confidently on our behalf and secured a great outcome. Throughout the process, Michael remained highly professional, patient, and genuinely invested in achieving the best result for us. He made a stressful experience feel much more positive. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone buying or selling — he’s a true professional and a top-tier agent. Thank you, Michael!
We had an overall fair experience with Chris and Sara. We got very good advice going into the sale about strategies to inspire better offers, which is what initially encouraged us to choose them, and we believe this advice was ultimately worthwhile. However, given the service is marketed as premium and easy, we had a few more issues than we would have expected along the way. For example, attention to detail about the property's features could have been better. We had to go back and forth a few times to get the details right, including having to prove we owned a car parking space, which was discussed during the initial walkaround. At times we felt more care could have been taken in the marketing of our property, and in step by step communication with us - for example, a review of marketing material before publish was discussed beforehand but didn't happen, and errors had to be fixed after the fact. Queries from the team were often duplicative between team members, and we didn't get updates before signs went up, and so on. We felt our listing write up lacked oomph compared with others. And understandably, the market being in a bit of a slump at the moment meant we didn't get the amount we'd hoped, and nowhere near the amount Chris appraised. During conversations considering offers, his memory of the appraisal range conveniently reduced and we were presented with a whole range of reasons why the offer was a good one, despite it falling well short of expectations set. So in that sense, we felt a bit played. We understand the amount we got was reasonable, all other things considered, but due to our own research rather than what Lowe&Co offered up. Ultimately we are grateful that our place sold quickly - this we can credit them with for sure. But the overall service could have been more honest, better communicated and sharper.
Ben, Amanda and team are very professional operators. Their team communications were open and clear. With Ben's experience we felt very reassured, from his initial assessment through to the final sale. We trusted his opinion on the market at the time of listing and were therefore reassured about how best to market our property. Ben has excellent people and negotiation skills. We will would list with them again in a heart beat.
They gave me all the information I needed to get my house on the market and answered any questions I had while selling and after the house was sold. Also made offers of use of truck and other help.
