Brendon was great to deal with. Easy commutation, always on top of everything and making the process smooth and easy. Our experience was very positive.
Great communication throughout the entire process and very easy to get along with. Since this was our first time doing something like this, it was stressful at times, and Brendon’s experience really helped guide us through. Brendon handled both the sale of our home and the purchase of our next one. Solid guy and someone you can trust. Sarah and Mark Sopp, Vendor

Thanks Lance for the wonderful service you have provided in selling my house. It took a while, but Lance didn’t give up and remained positive throughout the process. He was always cheerful and happy to answer any questions I had. Fully recommend Lance to anyone thinking of buying or selling.
We listed with 2 other agencies before finding Arun. Right from the beginning, we have had transparency with Arun throughout the whole process. Glad Arun has helped us reach our target. Thanks Arun

Lance have been great help ,he understands his customer requirements and provides excellent solutions, great understanding of the market. Few years ago as first home buyers my wife and I purchased lot number 21 empty section of penelope place through Lance . My wife and I designed a house plan on a piece of paper which was later drawn by architect. Built by ZB homes, upon completion my father and I did all the land scaping work we transformed our dream to reality. We called it our home for 7 years had an amazing time and had to make a hard decision to sell our much loved home due to chance in circumstances. Only one person came to my mind which is Lance that can find the right buyer to appreciate our home. Lance made the whole process seamlessly, and no doubt I will catchup with him when I'm back in NZ and if I ever move back home he will be the person I will be contacting re buying another property.

We had a fantastic experience working with our real estate agent throughout the process of buying our new home. From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, bringing deep market knowledge that guided us in making well-informed decisions. His communication was always clear, timely, and honest, which made a big difference in keeping us confident and at ease. Most importantly, his professionalism stood out every step of the way he was reliable, respectful, and truly had our best interests at heart. We’re so grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
