We had a great experience with Connor and his supporting team throughout the full sale process. Communication was excellent - prompt, proactive and clear at every stage, and he consistently kept us updated. Selling the property remotely from the UK could have been a hassle, but Connor made the whole process incredibly straightforward and easy for us. He was organised, responsive and always happy to help with anything that came up. We were really happy with the outcome and would have no hesitation recommending Connor to anyone looking to sell.

Lauryn and Shelley were fantastic from start to finish. They sold our home quickly and achieved an excellent result, and then helped us find and purchase our next home. Their biggest strengths are their efficiency, responsiveness, clear communication and, above all, their hustle. They are incredibly proactive and always seemed to be one step ahead. We always knew where things stood and what was happening next. Just as importantly, they conduct themselves with real integrity. We always felt that they were honest, straightforward and genuinely focused on doing the right thing for us, rather than simply doing what was easiest or most commercially beneficial. As buyers, they went well beyond what we expected. They reviewed property files, attended open homes with us and even entertained our toddler along the way! We also really appreciated the wider team they brought in at the right stages. From the auctioneer to someone experienced in bidding on our behalf, we had a strong group of people with the right expertise supporting us throughout the process. They are hardworking, knowledgeable, straightforward and genuinely lovely to deal with. We felt very well looked after throughout both the sale and purchase of our home and have no hesitation recommending them to anyone looking for agents who combine great results with genuine integrity.
The market was challenging, but Bron totally stepped up to the challenge and she delivered results. Very professional and friendly to work with.
Steve's personal values of honesty, integrity and professionalism made the experience of selling our home a pleasure and an adventure. Through a relatively complicated sale, Steve had our best interests at heart and made sure we understood all the ins and outs so we could make the wisest decisions along the way. He anticipated the way things could unfold and advised us how to navigate the process and pitfalls, and we always felt confident that he had our back. You will not find another agent you can trust more to act fully in your interests than Steve.
Steve was a great communicator and always able to accommodate us at the drop of a hat. Steve has great knowledge of the home he sold us and was honest and accurate with his advice. We haven’t always had great experiences with buying, but Steve was awesome! He has great market knowledge and was willing to help us in any way to get the deal done. We felt well informed and treated very fairly. Thanks for everything Steve!

I found a property in our desired location on the Trade Me website on a Monday morning but the auction was three days later on Thursday. With few properties ever coming on the market there, could we view the property, do the necessary due diligence and be ready to bid at the auction? What a challenge! Debbie rose to it with great professionalism and enthusiasm. We viewed the property on Tuesday and loved both the house and its location. Completing the due diligence in time was no small task as I had other commitments on Wednesday but the generous help and guidance provided by Debbie saw it completed late on Wednesday evening. She even provided advice outside of "normal" working hours. For the auction, Debbie organized bidding assistance for this auction bidding "newbie". (I was also somewhat "brain fried" by working at such speed on the due diligence). All of us reaped the reward of her efforts with a successful purchase at the auction. Thank you Debbie, you were pleasure to work with and we are so grateful that you went "the extra mile" for us.

Marie is a great comminucator, offering sound advice on the process and how to present your property, based on a well researched market knowledge. Marie is very punctual and is enthusiastic. I would recommend Marie wholeheartedly.
We have found Caleb to be extremely professional in his dealings with us . We were always kept up to date and in the loop. He was professional at all times and got a good proce for our house for us . very happy customers
Aaron’s knowledge was really helpful and guided us through the process to get our home ready for sale. He knew what we needed to do to present our home to achieve our price aspirations. He went above and beyond to give us advice on the purchase of a new home with auction tips and insights into the new suburb. Super friendly and has a list of reliable tradies that all came through for us in a tight timeframe. When it came to the final negotiations, he delivered what we wanted. Highly recommend Aaron to anyone thinking of selling.
I hate auctions …. But Aaron was very professional. I highly recommend him. Thanks, Aaron
