Rina was an absolute gem to have had as our realtor. She brought with her, kindness, compassion and so much enthusiasm. Her knowledge and insight during this challenging time was exactly what was needed to complete a successful sale, she defiantly went above and beyond to achieve this positive result. Rina has a genuine passion for what she does and it showed throughout the selling process. From us she comes highly recommended. Thank you again, it has certainly been a journey!
They explained things really clearly throughout the process, and even stopped by to the property to take some measurements after our offer was put through.
Lana was very responsive to our needs for information, both in providing feedback from viewings and open homes, and in replying to our questions and suggestions. Lana had great location awareness about the valley, which was very helpful in connecting potential buyers to our home, and understanding the market relativities in this location. In a subdued market Lana and the Arizto team were able to generate strong interest, a good number of second viewings, and meaningful conversations. Overall, we appreciated the attentive and friendly approach shown by Lana along with her determination and insightful understandings into buyer motivation and intent.
Nate was totally professional at all times, seeing the process from the vendors view. The process was worry free delivering a good result. Totally recommendable
We chose Samarra and Roei from a recommendation from someone else they had sold a property for. We found them very efficient and proactive in getting our property sold in a much shorter time frame than expected and for a better price than we expected.
Steph was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. She made the whole process of selling my rental property straightforward and stress-free, and her communication throughout was excellent. She clearly knows the market inside out and provided practical, honest advice at every stage, which gave me a lot of confidence in the approach we were taking. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach really stood out. Most importantly, Steph achieved a great result for me, and I genuinely felt she had my best interests front and centre the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell – she’s an absolute standout.
Buying a house in the same city is stressful enough let alone an entirely different island but Lana made it work! From getting us in for a viewing before it was even on the market, sending us anything we asked for and being available to chat at any time, her assistance in negotiating the agreement was refreshing. She’s even organising the carpet and house cleaning for us before we arrive! Lana’s care, attention, professionalism and drive is second to none.
Marine cares deeply about her clients, both vendors and purchasers. Her professionalism is outstanding and she works tirelessly to achieve a result. It’s all about the people for Marine, she will go the extra mile to ensure a good outcome for all. She was a brilliant communicator, we got feedback after viewings and we had complete faith that she would sell our home.
Came through for me with all the above as well as so much care an Love thanks Amy n Nate ❤️
I thought my property might be difficult to sell but you could see Chris genuinely loved the place. Honesty and reassurance appreciated.
