Vivian Yu is an exceptional real estate agent. She is highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to her clients’ needs. Throughout the process of buying my new home, she was patient, responsive, and guided me through every step with clarity and care. Her expertise made the experience smooth and far less stressful than I expected.
Mike was dedicated to our sale from the outset and helped us arrange for some small renovations to improve the look of our home. He explained the sales process carefully and answered our many queries about procedure, the legal requirements, the auction etc etc. We were thrilled to achieve a relatively quick sale given the overall low numbers that came through our house. We believe that Mike's persistence with the vendors and his generous nature helped us secure the sale in a time-critical environment. Thank you Mike.
Mike kept in touch regularly over the 12 years from the time he sold us our property and this is the main reason we decided to give him exclusive rights to sell again when the time came. He offered smart advice and tapped into a wide network of active buyers that helped with initial feedback and ultimately led to the house being sold before even going to market. We were really pleased with his common sense approach and good communication throughout the process
We had met Paul at Open Homes and when it came time to sell our home, we were confident in our choice. Paul's demeanour and presentation reflect a true professional, great communicator and listener. Paul; recommendation to go to Auction was not our first choice but when all the options were put to us, it seemed the best way forward. Paul introduced his associate Ben Sceats and simply we couldn't fault the whole auction process from start to a successful finish. Ben ensured a stress free process with an outstanding result. His affable but very knowledgable approach was much appreciated and we engaged on a professional but very comfortable manner. Paul's team is widely recognised and we highly recommend Paul and Ben and the St Heliers team at Barfoot and Thompson. Jan & Grant Macdonald, Orakei.

Vivian is in a league of her own. She’s sold several properties for us now, and what stands out is that she doesn't just sell a 'house', she sells a 'home.' You can really see her passion in her video tours. She dives into the quality and the feel of the place, not just the specs. It’s more about helping buyers find their perfect lifestyle than just making a sale. If you want someone who truly cares about the soul of a building, Vivian is the one.
Mike did an excellent job from the initial consultation, providing us with very accurate market information and guiding us through the entire selling process. He worked hard to secure a buyer in a relatively soft market and achieved the result we were hoping for. With over 30 years of experience in the local community, Mike has a strong background and presented our property very well. He also kept us well informed with detailed weekly open home reports. We really appreciated his professionalism and support throughout the process.

Vivian has been amazing supporting us through the purchase of our new home. Of particular value, Vivian has gone above and beyond in allowing us access to the property while we wait for settlement so that we can arrange window furnishings, carpet and the all important measuring of spaces for furniture placement. Nothing has been a problem for Vivian - she has done her absolute utmost to provide a seamless experience and I cannot thank her enough!

Vivian’s way more than just a real estate agent. She actually understands the architecture and what makes a home special. Because she gets the design, she knows exactly who the buyer should be, which is why she closes deals so fast. Super impressed with her work!

Working with Vivian was a game-changer. She isn't just a salesperson; her deep understanding of property design and construction sets her apart from anyone else in the industry. Throughout the process, she demonstrated sharp market sensitivity and incredible communication skills. What impressed us most was her ability to consider the interests of all parties involved, using her exceptional negotiation skills to reach an outcome that everyone was happy with. If you want an agent who understands the soul of a building as much as the logic of a deal, Vivian is the one.
