Seller of 5 Liftan Place, Mount Maunganui
Mel was fab to work with. She made selling our house simple and stress-free from start to finish. She was always quick to respond, kept us updated, and answered every question. What stood out most was how well Mel listened. She took my thoughts and ideas on board and worked them into her approach, so we felt like part of the process the whole way. We'd highly recommend Mel to anyone looking to sell.
Buyer of 1/17 Victoria Rd, Mount Maunganui
I was the buyer, for me the conduct on behalf of Mel’s vendor was my first experience. The balance of really understanding her client, managing their requirements was first and foremost, she was upfront and honest and worked with me on what could be achieved and various options. I ended up being highly impressed that I was also about to list my own house for sale with Mel. I have and will continue to recommend her to others. It’s more than a job to her and I valued the fact she listened to what I needed and how that may work with her vendors. Frankly if it wasn’t for her I likely would not have continued with the process and not purchased the property she was selling. Trust is a high must have with a real estate agent who manages your asset and debt for you, and there’s nothing worse than being told and sold things that simply aren’t true. Mel is highly trustworthy, effective, focused and responsive. Because of all that, you continue to engage with her and work with her.
Seller of 24A Gordon Rd, Mount Maunganui
After being in the real estate industry for over 15 years and working as a top-performing sales agent, I’ve seen the industry evolve dramatically. Selling our home on Gordon Road could have been daunting, but our experience with Collab and Mel was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the level of service, professionalis and care never wavered — and importantly, it was no different despite our personal relationship. Mel treated the sale with the same integrity, strategy, and attention to detail she would give any client, which speaks volumes about her character as an agent. While Mel is our daughter, it made us incredibly proud to watch her operate with such confidence and capability. She has truly found her place in this industry and has become a fantastic agent in her own right. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would confidently recommend Mel and the team at Collab to anyone looking to sell. — Annette & Barry

Andre was so great to work with even as the purchaser! Very attentive and made us feel like no question was a silly question. We felt like he went above and beyond to ensure the entire process went seamlessly. Highly recommend Andre. I would definitely consider him as an agent to sell my home if we ever did. Thanks a lot!
