Buyer of 22 Sandringham Street, Oamaru North
Tony was very aware of the market and it was obvious he worked hard behind the scenes with the sellers to be able to extend the offer period when there was a hold up with funds at the buyer's end. He was never pushy during the buying process but kept the sale going at a respectful flow. I would happily recommend him and use Tony again for any real estate needs.

Buyer of 2/27 Arthur St, Dunedin Central
She has an excellent knowledge of the property and was always available when I either required information or requested a viewing. On viewing the property she had a very good knowledge of the building and enabled me to take my time and get a real sense of what it would be like to live there. There was never any sense of having to rush. She was also prepared to offer helpful advice regarding things like window treatments
Seller of 30 Somerville Street, Andersons Bay
Melissa showed excellent knowledge of the sale area and kept us fully informed of buyer interest and developments throughout the process. The property was owned by my elderly father who is in a care facility and Melissa showed great compassion in also keeping him in the conversation. I found her commitment to making the process simple and enjoyable to be well above any previous experience with the real estate industry.
Buyer of 23 North Taieri Road, Abbotsford
I had an awesome experience working with Melissa Shipman. She was super easy to talk to, always quick to respond, and really knew her stuff. Melissa made the whole process way less stressful than I expected and guided me through every step without any pressure. If you’re looking for someone who’s genuinely helpful and on top of things, I definitely recommend her

If you are selling or buying in the Queenstown area you owe it to yourself to contact Mel. We switched to Mel after another agent/agency was getting us nowhere. We couldn't be happier with the result. Mel was fantastic to work with. She was an absolute pleasure do deal with throughout. Mel was so easy to communicate with. She was always quick to respond and always kept us up-to-date and in the loop. Mel made everything feel straightforward and stress-free, and handled all the details smoothly. I can't recommend Mel highly enough as an amazing real estate agent who’s both professional and great to deal with.
Seller of 92/1 Hall Street, Frankton
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the incredible experience of working with Mel Carter on the sale of five properties in Queenstown. From day one, it felt like working with another version of myself—someone who is driven, committed, and relentless in achieving results. Mel made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Whenever challenges came up, she didn’t just find solutions—she used her network, worked tirelessly, and always came back to me with good news. Her knowledge of the market is outstanding, and her ability to predict strategic moves to maximize sales is truly impressive. What stood out most was her dedication and determination. She does everything it takes to get the job done, and she does it with professionalism and positivity. I’m super grateful for her hard work and the results she delivered. Mel is more than an agent—she’s a trusted partner who goes above and beyond every single time. Highly recommended!

Seller of 211 Portobello Road, The Cove
We are pleased to provide a review on Martin Montgomery of Bayleys real estate. Martin handled the sale of our property at Waverley Dunedin. We found Martin‘s long experience in the industry very useful and comforting as we negotiated with him the process of selling our family home. Martin was very professional at all times, friendly and personable. His communication with us was outstanding and he kept us informed at every stage of the process with appropriate information and advice. His recommendations on the timing for listing the house for sale were correct. His advice on what advertising to undertake and where to put our resources was appropriate and appreciated. His advice on the expected sale price range was based on his knowledge of the market in the area and the type of property and proved to be appropriate guidance. He worked hard during all stages of the sale interacting with potential buyers and making himself available to show the property. He provided helpful advice on the contracting process. He was a valuable go-between in the final negotiations for the agreed price and his professionalism and ability was appreciated by us and we have no doubt by the purchases of the property. We would without reservation recommend Martin to others who are wishing to sell their properties.
Buyer of 40 Norfolk Street, Saint Clair
Martin made our house purchase process a breeze. He was helpful with all our questions — and we had many. He was also very straightforward to deal with and genuinely went the extra mile to make sure everyone was looked after. We couldn’t have been happier with his work and the house we purchased.
