Jennifer was proactive with feedback throughout the entire sales process. As an owner living in Auckland this clear communication both verbal and written was crucial, we felt that our interests were being looked after in a very professional manner. Jennifer's negotiating skill ensured that the final agreement was well thought out and contingencies were all covered. As a distant owner we took guidance from a third party within the property industry to conduct due diligence on more than one REA and with our own search narrowed down to three. Jennifer was chosen, based on interview, her written submission that was on point. Her market knowledge gave us the confidence that we would achieve a great outcome for a Family Trust, and that confidence was proven justified.

I was the buyer and while Stephanie was not acting for me, she was helpful and assisted with our enquiries in a timely and professional manner.
they demonstratded great knowledge over the sale of the property. always available to communicate when required.
Pete kept in contact and had a good market knowledge
Jennifer has been a rock during this process as both my husband and I have been unwell and not really with it at times. She is easily contactable via ph or email and responds quickly often with more help than you have asked for. Always willing to offer suggestions on how to achieve a goal with less stress and a better outcome. Highly recommend Jennifer to any future purchaser

I am very happy with the process which we went through and the result was acceptable, in a difficult market. Tania was very helpful in relation to the actions required and gave sound advice in relation to the marketing of the property.
We have just worked with Renee to purchase a property and couldn’t be more grateful for her support in the process. We really enjoyed her professional but non pushy approach. We felt like she was working equally for her vendor and for us as purchasers respecting both our positions as we worked to get a successful outcome. We always felt she was available, knew the property well and was always communicating along the way so we knew exactly where we were. I would definitely recommend and use Renee for real estate matters in the future. She is an asset to Harcourts - Whangarei and just an all round great person.

We have now engaged Melissa Codlin to sell a property for us for the second time, as we were extremely impressed with her friendly, knowledgeable and professional approach. She has excellent market knowledge and provided clear comparisons of similar properties in the area, which helped us understand the current market and make informed decisions. Melissa also took the time to explain the different marketing options available, making it much easier for us to confidently choose to go to auction. In the end, we sold prior to auction, and Melissa worked hard to negotiate with our purchaser and secure an offer we were happy to settle on. Her communication throughout the process was outstanding — always timely, clear, and reassuring. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.
