We first met Brian at an open home and were impressed by his friendly manner and the seemingly genuine interest he showed in our situation. His follow-up was proactive without being pushy and it soon became apparent that he is the type of person we could easily work with. During the process of listing our property, Brian gave sound advice as to what work would be beneficial and what would be superfluous. He gave a realistic appraisal of the worth of our property in the current market and had local examples available for comparison. Brian focused on key features of our property that gave it a point of difference and the advertising package he collated appealed to prospective buyers so that open homes were well attended. He also facilitated many private viewings. The sale of our property was achieved after little more than a month on the market and the successful purchaser's offer was one of several presented. During the time on the market, Brian maintained timely communication with us so that we were always well informed. His practical approach and connections with local building professionals enabled him to answer questions posed by prospective buyers and were also advantageous as we progressed on to purchasing our next property. From the perspective of a buyer, Brian ensured that he made us aware of any properties coming onto the market that might suit our needs without wasting time on those that would be unsuitable. He also proved to be an effective negotiator by being honest, realistic and an effective communicator throughout the process. Although we worked mainly with Brian, he and Emma proved to be a very effective team who worked well together and whose skills complemented each other. Emma's superb efficiency and depth of knowledge of the local market were invaluable. In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend Team Emma and Brian to anyone considering entering the property market in the Nelson region and I thank them for the work completed on our behalf.

Professional approach. Took notice of my time line and worked towards it. Prepared to put in the hard yards and ensured every aspect was conducted legally. Feedback was prompt and helpful. Inspired confidence so presume it was done so to purchasers
Seller of 6 Spitfire Drive, Burleigh
Having Bailey Dewe and Will Porter market and ultimately sell our lovely home was a no brainer! After working with them on a previous very personal project, their growing family (yes I’m a midwife), when it came time to sell our home. I casually approached Bailey and Will and they talked me through every step of the process. From the marketing, open homes, communication and ultimate sale. Their kindness, humour, and reassurance was all we needed to complete the sale of our home and get it over the line. Even being in another country was not a barrier! Thank you so much for everything and best wishes for your future too! If you want a job done with honesty, experience, professionalism, a few chuckles and a fishing and hunting story or two! Will Porter Team is your Property Team to go to!

Seller of 11 Bary Street, Springlands
Michael was fantastic throughout the sale of my house. I was living overseas and juggling life across different countries, but he made the process easy and stress-free. From our first conversation, he was warm, patient and easy to get along with. Communication from Michael and his team was outstanding. I received updates after viewings and open homes, always knew what was happening and understood what was happening next. Being so far away could easily have made selling overwhelming, but their organisation and calm reassurance meant I felt fully informed and involved throughout. Michael worked outside normal hours to accommodate the time difference. He was quick to respond and never made any question feel inconvenient. That flexibility and personal commitment went far beyond what I expected from an agent. What especially set Michael apart was his understanding that selling a family home is not simply a financial transaction. He is clearly family-oriented and recognised the emotion and memories involved. He handled that side with genuine empathy and kindness. Michael has great local market, community and area knowledge and gave me lots of honest advice. He created momentum in the sale, even before we listed! which generated genuine competition and brought us multiple offers. We sold within the first week on the market! During negotiations, Michael pushed hard for the best price for us as sellers, while remaining fair and respectful to the buyers. That balance of warmth, integrity and excellent negotiation is rare. Professional, knowledgeable and genuinely lovely to deal with, Michael brought us offers that far exceeded our expectations and he did it all whilst understanding how hard it was to sell our family home. His wider team ensured every detail ran seamlessly from beginning to end. I could not recommend Michael and Team Rea highly enough, you will never feel like 'just another listing'
Buyer of 4/37 Dillon Street, Blenheim
Anton was great to deal with. Always friendly, approachable and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured and he presented us with any option he thought might be viable.

Seller of 420 Wakamarina Road, Canvastown
We found both Marty Birch and Michelle Caldwell were always great communicators who were very market savvy and personable in their approach. Our rurally located property took nearly 12 months to sell but we were happy to rely on Marty and Michelle to keep us updated and they continued to present valid offers from prospective buyers. We have had previous offers presented and accepted only to have the buyer change their mind and to leave us all frustrated accordingly. Full credit to Marty for not giving up and we valued his sincerity and honesty about what to do in order to achieve a sales result for us. Their tenacity has paid off and we have now sold our property
Seller of 3178 Blackwood Bay, Blackwood Bay
I cannot fault Martyn at all in our sale process. We had a lot of issues that arose and in every instance Martyn found a solution to help us achieve our sale. Went far beyond any real estate agent I have ever dealt with previously. Excellent communication skills and a fantastic attitude to his work. I cannot recommend him enough
Seller of Lot 4 North West Bay, North West Bay
Martyn negotiated very well with the purchaser to get a good price for us in a difficult market. His online marketing was good, easy to talk to. Perhaps slow in advising us our initial hopes were unrealistic, but with more than one owner and an unrealistic GV that is understandable. It took 3 years to sell.
