Ting was honest and helpful right from the first point of communication. She regularly communicated and touched base with any updates. We are thrilled with our purchase, and recommend Ting to anyone looking at buying or selling their home.

Dee was absolutely wonderful to work with. From our very first meeting, Dee's instant warmth and sincerity shone. She was unwaveringly kind, while also being professional, calm and supportive. Dee's communication and ability to understand both sides of the coin (buying and selling) was very insightful and provided even more background for her strategic advice. She worked meticulously behind-the-scenes and always had my best interests and priorities in mind - and always with a smile ready 😊 Prior to engaging her services, Dee also went above beyond to help with guidance and comfort during a stressful house purchase. I would recommend Dee to anybody looking to buy or sell in Queenstown. Thank you, Dee. I will miss our catch ups!
We were always impressed with the contemporary approach to marketing our property using the full gamut of tools supported by first class visuals and edgy copy lines that drew out the key features of our home. Never pushy and always accurate on the details and always tirelessly exploring new marketing opportunities to bring home a great outcome.
Outstanding all round. Harry and the team at Evolve Property are legends. Where do I start. Harry is an absolute go-getter, which drew me to their business in the first place. He was prepared to go the extra mile from the start and delivered right the way through. He was always available and often acted on important tasks immediately, even late at night. One thing that really impressed me was how honest he was with both us and prospective buyers. We really appreciated his charisma, confidence, and communication throughout the campaign. Liv, behind the scenes, was incredibly fast at sending out important information. We were really impressed with how quickly she updated us on open home results, often having them available online within 10 minutes of the open home closing. She was really friendly, down-to-earth, and a real asset. Special thanks to Natalie for all the work she did behind the scenes — and even feeding our cat after open homes! 10/10 — these guys have a bright future.
Kate helped us sell after a disappointing experience with another agency. From the get go Kate provided a clear plan forward based on her excellent market research and experience, communicated every step really clearly and negotiated with the buyer extensively. We loved working with her and can wholeheartedly recommend her to sell or purchase your property.
Great agent, very helpful and thorough. Had a great experience.
Harry & the Evolv team have been a pleasure to deal with, they went above & beyond our expectations. We couldn’t fault their communication, it was excellent! The advice & knowledge shared was exactly what we needed to feel supported selling our first home.
As agents ourselves it was hard to trust another agent. Cam's suggestions at the outset on what to do to present our property, along with the photography and marketing, were the best Ive seen - thats saying something. Omea's customer service to us throughout was exemplary and all added up to a sold sticker very quickly once the house was presented, photographed and on the market. Well done team, we were impressed and delighted.
