Feleki was recommended to me and I’m so grateful. He has gone above and beyond to help me sell my house. A short campaign and a few unexpected hiccups which he helped navigate that could have been incredibly stressful. He has taken out so much of the stress, helped me find solutions, not only in terms of things like building report ans LIM and he things you would expect from any agent. He has helped with so much more - from options for staging my house, to moving furniture or finding plants. He has also made complicated decisions and planning more simple and digestible. I was nervous about doing an auction but he was incredibly supportive the whole way through. I went from feeling overwhelmed at the thought of it all before putting it on the market, to knowing exactly what would be happening and what I needed to do. He took time to explain and checked in every step of the way. Feleki worked so hard. He is so passionate about the area, the community and I felt like he really cared about my house. It was my first home and I felt like it was in very safe hands. The photos and marketing were great and I knew he was committed. It felt like nothing was a problem. He checked in at every stage and made sure all enquiries were explored. Open to adjusting approach to make sure every opportunity was explored. I would highly recommend Feleki and cant thank him enough.
Pip has a very honest communication style. She assisted us with the local contacts necessary to have the house checked out and has kept us updated through the process. Friendly and personable and very down to earth.
Gavin and Bel were great when it came to communicating what was happening at open homes, who was coming through the property and what their main interests were
We had an amazing experience working with Clare! She was fantastic to deal with from start to finish, with excellent communication throughout the entire process. She was always friendly, approachable and more than happy to answer any questions we had. She made the whole process of purchasing our home so easy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us through the experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. Thank you for making our home-buying journey such a positive experience!

Stephen, Jacqui and Ame were able to get us a Top Price for a very challenging worn out ex rental that requires a lot of work. We were very concerned with the state of the property and thought Team Johnston might not want to sell the house. They took on the property, were confident the house would sell with the right marketing showing the full potential of the house. They put our minds at rest. We received 8 offers in total for the house. They showed great market knowledge by advising a sell price for the home after sourcing quotes to reflect true costs for a new buyer to modernise the home. We were kept up to date by texts, emails and phone calls. None of our questions or phone calls were a bother. We had complete trust in them. I/We would definitely use Team Johnston for any future house sales within our family and recommend them to others.

We had a fantastic experience working with Justine and Ben. They made the whole process quick, easy, and stress-free, achieving a fantastic result for our sale. They were extremely professional, friendly, and flexible, especially when working around our young family. Their communication and service were excellent throughout, and we always felt well supported and in great hands. We’re incredibly happy with the result and would highly recommend Justine and Ben to anyone looking for a professional and reliable team. Thank you both for making the whole experience such a positive one!
The dedication shown by both Gavin and Bel impressed me. They were able in inform me of all relevant requirements clearly and efficiently. They listened to and acted on any suggestions we made regarding marketing and advertising. Altogether the whole experience was made less traumatic by their encouragement and friendliness. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any prospective sellers or buyers. They have my grateful thanks for a job well done.
Carrisa was very easy to contact and always responded with a well-researched reply. We appreciated her knowledge and advice as we weren't that familiar with the Dunedin market. Her pragmatic approach to some minor issues were easily rectified, and her willingness to help made this process so much easier for us.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Carissa highly enough. What started about six months ago when I was looking at a house she was selling ended up with her helping me through both buying my new home and selling my own. She was incredibly helpful throughout the purchase of my new house, even though it was being sold through a different agency, and then went above and beyond when it came to selling mine. She took care of absolutely everything (from organising the stager/window cleaners/tradesmen) to all the little details that can make selling a house so stressful. Her knowledge, communication (kept up-to-date all the way through the process) and her attention to detail were fantastic, and she did a brilliant job with the advertising and social media. She worked incredibly hard to get a great result and made the whole process so much easier. I really couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would recommend her without hesitation!
Paul & Caitlin did a fantastic job, selling my home within a week! After owning my home for 29 years, it was a huge decision for me to sell. Paul's market knowledge was spot on, both he & Caitlin were extremely professional, reassuring and friendly with their approach and guidance throughout the process. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.
