Pragmatic, open, friendly communication style, with good knowedge of the area to advise us and work with us in a difficult housing market. Mike demonstrated strength and committment to work closely with the only potential buyer we had - giving first home buyers the confidence and motivation to move to make an offer and negotaite a sale. Really appreciated Mike organising a few remedial building works to meet all conditions in our abscence.
We had such a great experience with Mike buying our first home. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, taking the time to explain things and dumb them down when we needed it 😂. He was always easy-going, honest and up for a laugh, and helped guide us through to getting a deal we were really happy with. Couldn’t recommend Mike enough. Thanks heaps for helping us get into our first home! 🏡❤️
My partner and I recently purchased a property through Brad, and we have nothing but nice things to say about our experience with him. We've been to quite a few open homes while looking for our next house. Brad immediately came across as a trustworthy and genuine salesperson. The whole buying process was made nice and easy by Brad, and his communication was excellent.
We approached Brad to market our property because we'd previously purchased a property he was marketing and were impressed by his easygoing nature, extensive knowledge and experience - including his knowledge of the community and the people in it - and not to forget his extensive contact list. That proved successful for us, and he sold our home in such a difficult market. He also always kept in touch after our first purchase from him (8 years), not just random advertising emails, but actual phone calls. That's a good salesman. He's always been professional in his dealings with us, and we'd recommend him to anyone. Thanks Brad.
Working with Hayden from Bream Bay for the sale of our property in Ruakaka was a genuinely great experience from start to end. Hayden took the time to work through our options, had patience when the market was slower than we'd like and pushed to bring a sale price that we were happy with. That combination of dependability and patience made a stressful process feel manageable. I'd recommend Hayden without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home.
A great agent, worked hard, got the results we needed, recommend Mike
Hayden recently sold our home for us, the enthusiasm he brings to his marketing campaigns is unmatched. He made the entire process seamless, keeping us informed with clear, regular updates. If you’re selling in Bream Bay and want high energy with zero stress, do yourself a favour and call Hayden.
I had an excellent experience working with Tina Subritsky estate agent when selling my home in New Zealand. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, making everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. She took the time to professionally stage the house by bringing in furniture and décor, which made a huge difference in how the property was presented. The photos were outstanding and showcased the home beautifully, helping it attract strong interest. She was always professional, reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and dedication were clear from start to finish. I always felt informed and supported throughout the sale. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her hard work, professionalism, and commitment to achieving the best possible result truly exceeded my expectations.
Janine was a genuinely great person to deal with. As a buyer, she never applied any “sales” pressure, gave us the information, time and patience we needed. Janine acted with honesty and integrity, told it like it was but clearly had the best interests of her vendor as her priority, which was great to see. As someone who has bought and sold a few places, Janine was one of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. Her knowledge of her market was second to none and it felt like she knew every house in town and could give you an honest account of any house/street in the town if you wanted it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
As a large family he gave us time to talk between ourselves but was readily available to us for any questions we may have had. Hayden made our experience a great one always open and accommodating with our requests, regularly checking in without making us feel pressured. He was fun to engage with in conversation, noticing the small things and was very professional. Feel we have gained a friend. Thanks heaps Hayden we’ve enjoyed this process just a little bit more because of you Highly recommend and appreciate the extra mile you’ll go too.
