I really appreciated Tracy's professionalism, patience and guidance throughout the sale of my home. She kept me updated every step of the way and worked hard to achieve a great outcome. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property.
Ben was responsive and organised in all aspects of the sale process. His direction and advice were always clear and easy to follow with easy to understand explanations and communication. Thanks for your efforts Ben
Theo and the team were great communicators and easy to deal with.
At first we didn’t think it was possible to be able to attend auction as first home buyers, but with the help of Ben, we made it to the auction and were the winners on the day! He was easy to contact, always professional and always had the answers to our many questions :)
Tracy was awesome. She answered the call to our many questions and went the extra mile to make sure the sale went thru. We would happily work with Tracy again.
Nicholas is the best real estate agent we met in Bay of Plenty he is very professional and very knowledgeable about client interest and needs. Very skilled, he was always there to help 24 hours. We would like to thank you so much from depth from our heart, and fulfil our dream.
Sharon has the local knowledge of current buyers looking to buy and is intrinsically motivated to pursue a great outcome for her clients, the vendors. We were looking for an Agent with recent evidence of negotiating and closing the deal. Our research into local Tauranga agents led us to Sharon and Mal and other positive reviews proved to be correct! Sharon understood the true value of our home to the local market and pursued a result that we were delighted with. In particular she sought out possible buyers who were prepared to look past current tensions and stresses in the economy and could see that our home was located in a very stable suburb historically that has seen strong returns for owners over the years. Furthermore, Sharon was always available and if she missed a call, was back in touch within minutes. Sharon and Mal (the quiet achiever) have partnered with Aritzo Real Estate. Aritzo weren't really on our radar, but once we did the numbers, the selling fee is very competitive with other larger players in the Tauranga real estate market. Thanks Sharon and Mal.
