From the start Shelley knew that the market could deliver the result I was hoping for. When I had doubts she gave me confidence the upgrades I was doing would pay off, and offered sound advice on a few finishing touches to get the property up to scratch and give the market what they wanted. Her knowledge of the Hastings market was top notch and her comms, follow-up and follow-through were all excellent. Highly recommended and I would hesitate engaging her on my next sale if/when that happens. Thanks Shelley!
Sandhya was always available, her marketing of the property was excellent and though. Her communication was honest and clear with suggestions, advice and assistance.

Shared excellent market insight and continuously updated up on what was to be expected. Always had our best interest in mind
I couldn’t be happier with my choice to sell with Laurie and Jana. From start to finish, the communication was exceptional. I had a lot of questions throughout the process, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Every question was answered clearly and patiently, and I always felt comfortable asking for clarification when I needed it. I was kept well informed at every stage, with regular updates so I always knew what was happening and what to expect next. They were always happy to explain things in a way that made everything easy to understand, which took a lot of the stress and uncertainty out of the process. I really appreciated how attentive and responsive they were, and I genuinely felt supported throughout the whole experience. Selling a property can be a stressful process, but their communication and professionalism made it feel so much easier. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an agent who is approachable, attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to making the process as smooth as possible. Five stars without hesitation!
I wanted to provide feedback about my experience with Tony, as he deserves recognition for the excellent service he provided throughout what was a long and sometimes challenging process. Having had a very negative experience with another real estate agent from the same company in 2024, I was initially hesitant about using the company again. My experience with Tony, however, was completely different, and he went a long way towards restoring my confidence in the company. I worked with Tony for approximately 16 months while searching for the right home and preparing to sell my own. I certainly wasn't the easiest customer! From the beginning, I was clear that I did not want to be pressured or mucked around, and Tony always respected that. Tony has excellent knowledge of the local property market and consistently provided clear, realistic and well-informed advice. He was incredibly patient, listened to my concerns and never made me feel pressured into a decision that wasn't right for me. He was always willing to think outside the square and explore different options. His communication was excellent. He was prompt in responding to messages and calls, kept me informed and was always approachable when I had questions. Even when I was stressed or asking lots of questions, I never felt like an inconvenience. What I appreciated most was the trust Tony built with me. Buying and selling a home is a significant financial and personal decision, and I always felt he was acting in my best interests. He was honest when I needed advice, patient when I needed time, and supportive without ever being pushy. After my previous experience, Tony made a huge difference. He represented the company extremely well and demonstrated the professionalism, integrity and customer service I would expect from a great real estate agent. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Tony to anyone. He was fantastic to work with, and I am very grateful for his time, patience and effort.
James sold our previous home, assisted us with the purchase of this one, and has now successfully sold it as well. His market knowledge, honest guidance, and negotiation skills helped us achieve the best possible price, and his communication was excellent throughout the entire process. During one of the most difficult and emotional times in my life,after the loss of my partner James demonstrated genuine kindness, patience, and compassion. I will always be grateful for the support he provided. He truly cares about his clients, and that was evident consistently throughout the process. I could not have asked for a better agent and would highly recommend James to anyone seeking someone who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely committed to the people he represents.
