She was professional, friendly and always answered our questions
They are excellent in their marketing knowledge and negotiating the price of the property. Communication is very good in every aspect.
They were very accomodating, we needed a quick sale and managed to get us on the market within 2 days. Had a great line of communication the whole way through the process and were understanding to our needs. Nothing but great things to say about Gavin and Bel
We would like to sincerely thank you for everything you did to help us through the process of purchasing our little piece of New Zealand-a dream we held for many years. At times the process was frustrating & stressful, especially being so far away, but you made it as smooth & straightforward as possible.

Thank you for your support in helping us achieve this long-term dream, with our sincere thanks & appreciation. We look forward to meeting you and to celebrating together when it is possible for us to travel over. Very grateful.
This is the second time we’ve sold with Siobhan. We were so impressed after our first dealing, that it was a no brainer to ask her to sell this home for us. Her and Lucy worked as a great team through the whole process. Excellent communication, keeping us informed and helping to guide us through the sale process. Exceeding our expectations. Would highly recommend Siobhan to anyone wanting straightforward answers without the usual sales waffle!
No hassles during process. Kept up to date with process of sale. Good communication. Assisted us well with the selling process. Would recommend
I have used Anna previously. She responds immediately after open homes, always communicates well, is honest, grounded, professional and goes the extra mile if required. Reports are well detailed. The negotiation with serious buyers is always a challenge for me to achieve the price I believe the property is worth. Anna understands this, and reflects professionalism throughout the process, but also a level of genuine care and understanding. Highly recommend Anna.
Siobhan was very personable and easy to talk to. She responded quickly to requests for a visit to the house and provided us with everything we needed. When it came to a multi offer she described the process clearly and facilitated our being able to sign when we were not at home with a scanner. In all aspects of our experience with Siobhan, she was completely professional. We had a number of queries about aspects of the property at the end of the 10 working day period and she ensured she did everything she could to facilitate us getting the answers we needed.
Gavin and Bel made buying our first home simple and stress free and I would happily recommend them.
Gavin and Bel were fantastic to work with. Their strong knowledge of the local market gave us confidence, and they stayed motivated and positive even when our sale took longer than expected. They made the whole process feel easy, and we really appreciated how quick they were with feedback and keeping us in the loop.

With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies.
