I highly recommend Kat as a genuine, professional and personable real estate agent. With open and clear communication via text, phone and apps, Kat ensured that I was kept up-to-date with all enquiries, inspections and feedback. She negotiated, facilitated and shared my sale process efficiently and calmly - ensuring that I understood and felt comfortable with each step. Thank- you Kat, I am most grateful.
Mike was very friendly and reassuring. It was like having my Dad there! He was also very obliging, arranging a viewing during a long weekend on short notice and responding to my texts out of working hours. He listened to my concerns and treated them with respect, responding kindly and knowledgeably. He made sure I knew exactly what would come next and what I needed to do. Mike seemed genuinely pleased for me when I signed the documents with a formal handshake turning into a warm hug. As a single woman, I felt safe and respected dealing with Mike.
Great communication through the whole purchasing process, honest, professional and super easy to contact. Made the purchase process very simple and straightforward!
We’ve known Caroline for many years, and this was the first time we’ve had the opportunity to list a property with her. Throughout that time, we’ve always found her to be highly professional, pragmatic, and full of common sense when it comes to real estate. Well before we decided to sell, Caroline took the time to visit and provide practical, no-nonsense advice on what we could improve to achieve the best possible sale price. Over the years, she’s also generously shared guidance with us even when we weren’t actively buying or selling, which speaks volumes about her approach. As a result, we had no hesitation in engaging Caroline to sell our house in Nelson. Selling in a softer market can be nerve-racking, but she was a steady hand throughout the entire process—calm, confident, and reassuring that we would achieve a strong outcome, which we did in a relatively short space of time. In our view, some vendors can become anxious if results don’t come quickly, but a good agent understands how to navigate a slower market—keeping all options open, maintaining momentum, and never losing focus. Caroline demonstrated this perfectly, working tenaciously throughout with consistent open homes and ongoing effort. We have no hesitation in recommending her.
We were so pleased to work with Caroline again, especially as we had originally bought this home through her nine years ago. She understood the journey of the house and truly appreciated the care we had taken to modernise it for our family of five, while preserving the character and purity of the original 1920s home. From our architecturally designed kitchen to the thoughtful renovations throughout, Caroline immediately saw what made the home special. Her enthusiasm was genuine, and she helped convey that x-factor to potential buyers in a way that felt authentic and warm. She was always available to answer questions, made the tender process smooth, and was very thoughtful during the sign-up stage as well. Caroline combined professionalism with real care, and we felt she helped our home shine.
Mike's communication was clear, timely and solution focused, He worked with us and with the vendor to find a way forward for all of us.
An absolute stand out, very proactive and excellent market knowledge. Marine created a marketing package that attracted a larger interest for our unique rental property. In addition she was very considerate and worked in well with our tenants with regard to viewings etc. We would highly recommend.
Great experience selling our house with Matt. Everything went smoothly. Easy to deal with, super professional, and got a great result. Would definitely recommend!
I would recommend Matt to prospective buyers and sellers alike. He was efficient and professional. I found him to be quick at following up, keeping me up to date during the process and supportive which helped make the experience effortless.
