Seller of 378 Durham Drive, Havelock North
Having Sophie as my agent, along with Jacquie, made the experience of selling my house, a truly pleasant one. She was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered in a timely and professional manner. Above all Sophie is a genuine delight to be with, and I am sure purchases immediately felt at ease and comfortable with her, which I felt was very important to have in an agent. I would highly recommend Sophie as your agent.

Seller of 178 Flaxmere Avenue, Flaxmere
Apart from spelling "IOAPO" NAME WRONG still, which is really annoying. He was pretty good, got our house sold quickly. We are so greatful for that. We got the right money for it too. Gavin is a neat guy personally too. He would do anything to help us. Big Big Hugs.🥰🥰
Seller of 1420 Matapiro Road, Crownthorpe
Thank you, Gavin, for your help with the sale of our property. We only needed one buyer, and you delivered—introducing us to a wonderful couple who will appreciate the home as much as we have. Selling a unique property was always going to be interesting, but you embraced the challenge and guided us through with confidence. Your knowledge, willingness to listen, and steady support made all the difference throughout this journey
Buyer of 1420 Matapiro Road, Crownthorpe
As the purchaser of a property Gavin listed I was impressed by how helpful and knowledgeable when it came to us being out of district and purchasing a Lifestyle property. Gavin made regular contact to see how our sale journey was going and if he could be of any help. It impressed me that he obviously genuinely cared for his Seller but also that he would make time for us as the buyer. He was able to provide all the information we needed and was conduit to the owners who are a fantastic couple, starting their next adventure. Gavin goes the distance to ensure both parties found an outcome that works and means we get to start a new life in HB. I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending Gavin and for sure we will use him in the future if our plans change!

Seller of 27 Jervois Rd, Jervoistown
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent. What stood out most was his honesty, professionalism, and straightforward approach throughout the whole process. I always felt that Neal was genuine in his advice, kept me well informed, and had my best interests at heart. He communicated clearly, followed through on everything he said he would do, and made what can be a stressful process feel very manageable. Neal combines excellent professional knowledge with a personable and trustworthy manner, and I really appreciated having someone I could rely on throughout the sale. A genuinely positive experience from start to finish. Thank you, Neal.
Seller of 1 Seaview Terrace, Bluff Hill
From the 'get-go', Neal showed his massive experience in bringing our heritage 1880s property to the market. Missing the mark four years ago in a falling market, was tough for us all, but this time he succeeded at lightning speed, offering us an off-market listing with no marketing costs! And getting a price above RV. We appreciated the Sothebys style of management where qualified buyers are shared across agents; it was a real asset having an agent for the buyer and Neal for us the vendors. Excellent negotiation skills. Plus, Neal has a great gift for staging and takes pride in presenting your home as if it were his own.
Seller of 18 Ruakituri Place, Te Awa
Very happy with Neal’s great communication. He kept me in the loop on an almost daily basis. He is very professional, and follows up on everything. If he says he is going to do something, he does it. He did everything he could to assist me with finalising the move, which is a big thing when you are on your own. Took no time at all to sell my home. I was extremely happy and would recommend him to anyone.
