We needed to sell fast. It was April/May 2026, the market was flat, and we'd already had an offer accepted on our next place — no time to wait for the "right buyer" to wander in. Cheryl's first move was pragmatism. The house had a CV of $3.56m, but rather than anchor to that number and hope, she talked us through the market realistically and helped us land on a floor of $3m — a number we could actually sell at, not one we wished we could. That distinction mattered more than anything else. From there she pushed for a proper campaign, not a quiet listing. We moved out so the house could be cleaned and staged, invested in a high-end photo package, and put real weight behind marketing on Trade Me and realestate.co.nz. She brought her own network of stagers, decorators, cleaners and photographers, so presenting the house at its best was her job, not ours. She arrived early to every open home — clearing leaves, heating on, lighting right — and followed up after every viewing with buyer feedback. Nothing was too hard. The response spoke for itself: over 35,000 website views, 88 viewings, four building inspections. Four weeks after listing, we went to auction with five registered bidders and a reserve of $3.2m — in a market where comparable properties were struggling for traction. The house sold under the hammer for $3.35m — over 10% above our $3m floor. Selling at auction at all, in that market, was an outcome in itself. Advice to other sellers: when Cheryl tells you something about pricing or strategy, listen. You wouldn't do your own dentistry because you think you know better — this isn't the place to overrule a professional either. Whether you're a first-home seller, under time pressure like we were, or moving a high-value property — Cheryl is who you want in your corner. Unqualified recommendation.

As a local Real Estate agent in my area for a number of years, prior to putting my house on the market , I had many conversations with Candace who kept me informed what was happening locally. When the time came to put my house on the market, Candace was extremely professional, approachable and alway there to answer questions or my messages. Always kept me informed and asked my opinion on how we would navigate the home sale in a tricky market . Though selling a house is a stressful life event Candace made it a straightforward and comfortable experience. Would highly recommend Candace as an extremely professional Real Estate Agent.

Grant was a very good communicator throughout the whole process of selling our parent's house. He was very transparent and regularly kept us up-to-date on how the open homes were going. He gave us honest feedback and advice as to what we needed to do along the way. I know Grant worked very hard, and did a lot of extra work behind the scenes as we had a lot of groups through, and many people revisiting the property. Grant also explained the auction process to us very well and was a very calming influence on auction day. I would definitely recommend Grant if you are looking for an honest, unflappable, and dedicated real estate agent to work with.

Craig was very helpful through the whole process, honest, professional, and a genuinely nice person trying to do his best for the client and the customer.
