I'm grateful to have had the Bayleys team managing the sale of the property. I appreciate how well the process was managed from start to finish. The campaign was well planned & executed. The team kept me actively informed throughout the process, navigated some of the challenges we faced very professionally, & were so structured in their overall approach. I'd highly recommend the team after my experience with them!
Our experience was open and friendly throughout the whole process.
Anita marketed our property during a tough vendor’s market (winter 2026). She was practical and resourceful in finding new ways to market it. Anita was a very hard worker and patient and professional with all potentially interested parties. She maintained her energy and interest in our property throughout. She approached negotiations strategically and added value. We have no doubt that she would apply the same skills and qualities for other vendors in the future.
We had a positive experience selling our property and couldn't have been happier with the support we received throughout the process from Grant. From the beginning, communication was excellent, we always knew what was happening, and everything was explained clearly along the way. There were some challenging and stressful moments during the sale, particularly as we worked through a few issues with the purchasers, but Grant remained calm, professional and focused throughout. Grant kept communication flowing, worked through the issues as they arose, and most importantly, kept the sale moving forward when at times it could easily have stalled. We really appreciated the honesty, persistence and support, and feel Grant genuinely worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome for us. We would happily recommend Grant & Jordan to anyone considering selling their property.
Natalie was extremely good to deal with, making this purchase smooth sailing with me being in another region. Natalie was always very timely in replying to text or calls, this was often "out of hours". Natalie also came to the property the day I moved up to greet me and check everything was ok. Natalie has a very warm polite manner and I would diffidently recommend her services when selling or purchasing a property.
Trista is bright, honest and positive. She is trustworthy and very supportive .. my move North was complex and difficult and she was there with me the whole time. Good advice re the market and through the negotiation phase I always felt she really was there for me and my house. Always professional very responsive and I felt I was lucky to have her represent me. Thankyou Trista
Mike was very helpful with his knowledge of selling specially it being my first time in doing so. I had many questions which were answered without hesitation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike to others.
Trista was incredibly helpful helping me buy my first home. She never missed a call and was very responsive to emails and texts. Trista was very helpful with information about the home and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process.
She was professional, friendly and always answered our questions
She is very amazing person, always answers your call and text even she's off from work. Help you with the best possible solution of your questions. Highly recommended.
