5,135 real estate agents in Auckland

From the moment our campaign began, it was clear we had chosen the right team to sell our home — The Cleave’s energy, professionalism and commitment were outstanding, and ultimately delivered an exceptional result. That commitment showed in every aspect of the campaign — from developing a strong marketing plan, through to the open homes and, importantly, the diligent follow-up of every lead and potential buyer. Initially, we had some concerns that, with Bayleys’ reputation at the top end of the market, our home might not necessarily be the right fit for them. Those doubts were very quickly put to rest once the campaign got underway. The energy, commitment and hard work the team brought to the sale was impressive from day one. Their experience and knowledge of the market proved invaluable throughout the process. They kept us regularly informed, gave us open and honest feedback from buyers, and provided sound advice. They worked incredibly hard on our behalf, left no stone unturned and followed up every opportunity — right through to an outstanding auction result. A great team, a great campaign we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Selling a home is never straightforward, particularly in a challenging market, and ours was a unique property that we always knew would have strong appeal to the right buyer, but wouldn’t necessarily be for everyone. Throughout the entire process, The Cleaves were exceptional. Their professionalism, knowledge of the market and sound advice gave us enormous confidence, particularly when decisions weren’t always easy or obvious. They were realistic when they needed to be, encouraging when it mattered, and always felt completely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for us. What we appreciated most was the sage advice and support along the way. We always felt we could have an open and honest conversation with them, knowing the advice we received was based on experience and genuinely had our best interests at heart. By the end of the process, it felt like much more than simply working with our real estate agents - there was a genuine friendship and trust that developed along the way. We couldn’t rate The Cleaves highly enough and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering selling their home.

I have had both the privilege to buy my current property in Glendowie and then sell my former home in St Heliers with The Cleaves. They provided clear and calm negotiation support through the purchase of my current property and did a phenomenal job navigating some incredibly difficult issues with the sale of my former home, holding our hand each step of the way and making sure we got the most out of our asset. I highly recommend them, from either side of the sale.

Overall great experience

We had a great experience working with Andrew and Erica Fava and their team, including Selina. From the outset they were informative, highly responsive and genuinely customer focused. What stood out for me was their sense of urgency and willingness to get things moving. Communication was excellent throughout — we always knew where things stood, what was happening next and what they needed from us. Selling a home can be stressful, but Andrew, Erica and Selina made the process feel well managed and kept the momentum going from start to finish. They were professional, approachable and clearly committed to getting the best outcome for us. A great team and one I’d happily recommend.

Andrew kept an open line of communication throughout the marketing of the home we purchased. He updated us regularly with developments and responded to questions we had related to the property promptly. We were very satisfied with our experience as buyers and would be happy to work with Andrew and his team again.

Neal sold a property for me located at Huia. The sale was dependent upon the sale of a second local property. The market in Huia can be very variable with often long sale times. Neal dealt with the sale of the second property he produced a result in a timely manner. His communication was clear concise and resulted in a satisfactory result for both parties involved. He was always available when required and had good communication by both phone and email. Because Neal is a local and lives and breaths the area I recommend him as his local knowledge is very valuable asset. He is sensitive to the fact that buying and selling property has both financial and emotional components. He was at all times friendly, approachable and proffessional.

Neal and Meg’s helped us sell our house. Neal was pretty spot on with his appraisal at the beginning. We appreciated the down to earth approach and always taking time to take our calls or answer any questions we had. They also worked hard to get us our new family home and made the whole process of selling and buying easy.

The main reason why we have chosen Neal is for his honest approach and not sugar coating. His feedback of the house was honest and balanced but not overly enthusiastic, without an artificial attempt to gain our sympathy- this made him stand out compare with a competitors. Our gut feel to go with Neal's team has proven to be a right decision. Although it took longer than anticipated to sell the house due to slow market, we knew that he,Megs and Ryan were right people for the job.
