Seller of 2/8 Alpha Street, Papakura
Anita was well informed about the market and was transparent about what our home could be worth from the very start. She had expert advice on what we needed to do to present the property in the best light for buyers, and she always kept us updated throughout the process. She kept us positive even with the state of the current market looking uncertain. Our property was under contract in 3 weeks and sold in just over a week after that. We were overjoyed and couldn't have asked for a better agent, process, and outcome. Truly thankful for Anita in helping us pass on our first home to a happy first home buyer!

These are the reasons I would recommend Anita to anyone who wants a "real" real estate agent. Anita understands our local neighborhoods, pricing trends, school districts, and upcoming developments. She provided information and assessed property values accurately and explain the “why” behind her recommendations. Anita and her team kept our family informed at every step—no surprises. During our initial meetings she listened attentively, asked the right questions, and explained complex real estate terms in plain language. All phone calls and emails were responded to quickly and professionally. Anita advocated fiercely for our family's best interests knowing exactly where she could go for better information. Anita used data, strategy, and emotional intelligence to secure the best price and terms. In a tough market we were given honest assessments, even when it’s not what some family members wanted to hear. Anita from the start prioritized ethics over commissions, building long-term trust. There was never a moment we considered changing to a new agent. Anita anticipated obstacles (financing delays, inspection issues, appraisal concerns) and addresses them proactively. Her positive attitude and ability to stay calm under pressure and creative solutions got us across the line with the final contract. Harcourts uses modern tools for marketing, staging, virtual tours, and document management. They managed deadlines, paperwork, and communications with precision. Anita genuinely cares about client goals her understanding in moving Mum into aged care promptly without delay. Anita provides support before, during, and after the transaction.

Buyer of 13 Ernest Shackleton Place, Waiuku
Paul helped me and my fiance buy our first home. He was incredibly knowledgable, polite, understanding and made sure we really understood the process. He made sure we got the home we were looking for and not once did he make us feel pressured into something that we did not want or need. We truly appreciate the effort he went to in our home buying journey. Would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We had a bad experience with another estate agency and had decided to pull our property from the market; it was stressful and expensive. We met Paul and after talking with him about our goals and expectations, decided to give it another shot. We were nervous but Paul's professional conduct, wealth of experience and practical yet warm approach, gave us the confidence that we could complete this sale profitably. Paul was a fantastically clear and effective communicator throughout the transaction. He was honest and realistic regarding our expectations, and taught us enough about the real-estate process to empower us to make educated decisions regarding our strategy. He kept us informed at every significant event, consistently discussing and re-evaluating, ensuring that we remained comfortable, aware and in control of the process. In the end, Paul found us more than one buyer, and helped us to work through negotiations to the mutual benefit of both parties. The sale and hand-over process went smoothly and to the timeline which Paul had laid out, with very little deviation from our expectations. We have since moved to Australia, and when we looked at purchasing a property here, the trust gained through that transaction prompted us to make contact with Paul to ask his opinion about the property. He went on to offer us good, honest and effective advice, which secured us the purchase amidst stiff competition. We've now made a significant step forward in our accumulation of wealth; we would not have attempted this, had Paul not stepped in to recover our loss of confidence in the real estate industry. Barfoot and Thompson as a brand, and the real-estate industry as a whole, should consider Paul a significant asset to its ranks. Any seller in Paul's area who is considering marketing their property would do well to offer Paul the opportunity to present a sales strategy; you will not be disappointed in the service he can deliver.
Seller of 9 Valley Road, Waiuku
The way in which Paul took us through the process of helping us sell our house was excellent from start to finish. We were immediately impressed with him. Paul was professional in how he handled our challenging situation. He is an excellent communicator and demonstrated great negotiation skills. He also kept us informed every step of the way. His suggestions of how to stage the house for the auction were very helpful, and his endeavours to procure a sale through a protracted negotiation was much appreciated. We highly recommend Paul - he's simply the best!

Seller of 61 Mahia Road, Manurewa
When we first decided to sell our property we had another agent from another company ut e was not a very nice person. We approached Century 21 Papakura. Gary took on the job of marketing our property with the help of Ispa. Gary informed us all the time with what was happening with the property market and advised us the best way to sell our home. The market was very slow at the time but Gary stuck to the task of getting the best price he could. After a time our property was sold for a little less than what we wanted for it 12 months ago but we had to make reduce the price to suit the buyer. Thank you Gary and Ispa for all the time and work you put into selling our house. If you want to sell your property we suggest you speak to Gary at Century 21 Papakura to get the best price
