Seller of 1/4 View Road, Shelly Park
It’s 2026 and the housing market has fallen to slump. While many agents sales numbers had fallen away, Leah was different. Her analysis of the housing market and years of experience meant that we knew what to expect over the coming weeks. Leah assured me from day 1 that she would work around the clock to get this house sold and that she did. We ran a strong campaign, tied in with the McCartney Marketing excellence and had the house under a conditional contract within 3 weeks. Work for Leah doesn’t stop at offer number 1 however. Offer number 2 presented the following week without conditions. Our house was sold, it’s THAT easy. Next step, find the new home. Leah and Dave showed us through a number of listing that would suit our needs. We scrolled the property apps for months but it seemed all the best listings were signed up with the Leah and Team McCartney. Leah organised a private viewing for us on the perfect property. She guided us through the process of putting in an offer and gave strong advice on the negotiation. Selling and buying success! We are a couple weeks away from settling into our dream home in Cockle Bay and Leah couldn’t have made this process any easier. If you are even thinking about selling or buying a home in east Auckland, give Leah a call. You’d be silly not to.
Seller of 2/20 Sale Street, Cockle Bay
We were so fortunate that we chose Leah to be our agent. We made the decision to sell our home just as the Iran conflict erupted resulting in an immediate slowing of the property market. Leah encouraged us to keep going. She worked tirelessly to attract potential buyers to view our home, and then followed up each enquiry. Leah kept us well informed of developments as well as remaining optimistic that a result would be achieved. Ultimately a sale was concluded in a timely manner and at a price that was satisfactory to all. Thank you Leah for a good job particularly well done.
Seller of 8 The Mews, Shamrock Park
Our sales team from Howick Branch of Ray White Dave and Leah were just amazing we were so tense and nervous of going down this track in a sale market of negativity floating around us all they just placed us at ease and comforted us on all angles and made this a journey of excitement in a challenging market we were facing. They were not scared to think outside of the box of imagination and adventure and from this they certainly delivered one hundred percent of this to our marketing process to the point we thought we were on a movie set of a Peter Pan adventure but in our case our Peter Pan was Dave McCarthy and his amazing team. Our potential buyer came through basically the first day of marketing perhaps it was Daves stage coach being pulled up by his loyal horses to the gate or even the visit we had from Tiger Woods for a golf match but to our surprise and his team they didn't know that Dave had a hidden talent of specking Italian. They were all amazing comforting and were so positive on this short journey with us from which Dave, Leah and team have left us truly humbled. Thank you so very much team for this adventure and the energy you gave us for always reaching for the star of a dream and to not look at just a sale of a home but to climb aboard the stage coach to be part of the experience of an amazing adventure. very Kind regards Cameron and Gayle

We had such a great experience working with Clive to secure our latest property. After many viewings, he was incredibly patient and always made the effort to keep us in the loop and show us properties that he knew would be a good fit. Clive was always quick to respond, super proactive, and really took the time to understand what we were looking for. We really appreciated his communication and genuine commitment to helping us find the right property. Thanks so much Clive, we appreciate the extra mile you went!

Buyer of 1 Mahinga Lane, Massey
Clive was a great agent to work with. He was very quick with his communications via message and calling. He answered any and all questions we had promptly, regarding properties, and the buying process. Clive is experienced in the West Auckland area, and gave us up to date info on the trends of the market in this area, and found different properties to suggest, that we may not have considered at first. His negotiation skills are very good. He was clear telling us prices that properties would likely go for, and recommended offering in certain price ranges to have more success if we wanted to make an offer. However, when we offered lower than these on some cases, he was supportive and respective of our decisions. Clive was professional from the moment we met him. He communicated clearly and helped us through the signing of documents as it was our first home. We’re thankful for his help, and we wish him the best! We’ll be in touch in the future!

Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he consistently went above and beyond to ensure the campaign ran smoothly. Most importantly, he GOT THE JOB DONE!

Seller of 490B Beach Road, Murrays Bay
Jiang was absolutely amazing to deal with, a great communicator, professional and trustworthy. We were reassured every step of the way from selling our home of 13 years to helping us into our new dream home. Jiang certainly goes above and beyond to make everything happen and maintains a calm, helpful and a sense of humour throughout the process. We would highly recommended Jiang to anyone looking to buy in the area.
Seller of 10 Station St, Hobsonville
Jiang guided us through the sale of 10 Station St from start to finish, and the whole process felt organised and stress-free. Communication was excellent: he kept us updated after every open home and offer, responded quickly, and explained each step clearly so we always knew where things stood. His market knowledge was evident from the start. His pricing advice was realistic and backed by solid local data, and his marketing plan attracted strong buyer interest. When it came to negotiation, he was calm, firm and clearly working in our best interests, which helped us reach a result we were very happy with. Throughout, Jiang was professional, honest and easy to work with. We'd happily recommend him to anyone selling in the area and would use him again. To make it more personal, add one specific detail, such as how quickly it sold, a tricky moment he handled well, or how the final price compared with your expectations. If anything didn't go well, tell me the star rating and the main points, and I'll rewrite it to fit.
Seller of 1/235 Sunset Road, Sunnynook
We recently sold our house with the very professional help of Jiang. It was reassuring to work with an Agent who new the area well and was able to guide us on pricing and other aspects of the sales process. Jiang invited the eventual purchaser to view our home and the understanding of what the purchaser wanted also contributed to the sale . At all times during the sale process Jiang was available to speak with us and met with us often at very short notice. Jiang is very Friendly and approachable and presents in a professional manner. We highly recommend Jiang to anyone wanting to purchase or sell their property .
