Alice was fantastic to work with and made the whole process of selling our first home smooth and stress-free. Her communication was excellent - she kept us informed every step of the way and was always prompt and responsive, which made us feel well supported during what could have been an overwhelming time. We felt very looked after throughout the entire process and couldn't fault our experience. We would highly recommend Alice to anyone looking to sell their home.
This is the second time we have sold a home with Kerry. This sale was more emotional for us, as we weren’t quite ready to leave this home yet. However, we knew the time had come, and Kerry guided us through the process with her skills, expertise, confidence, and patience. She was always available to answer our questions and talk through any changes we had around the marketing. Her feedback was thoughtful and honest (and yes — we know she had to mention the stairs more than once!). As we often joked: beautiful house, amazing views… but the stairs! This home was a little trickier to match with the right buyer, but we always believed the right people were out there waiting to discover such a special place — and Kerry made that happen. We highly recommend Kerry. She is truthful, realistic, knowledgeable, and remains calm under pressure. Working with her again was an easy decision, and we are very grateful for her support throughout the process.
Alana made our first home buying process nice and easy and communicated the whole was through. Alana was so patient with us and took extra care in answering questions and helping us out when we needed. I highly recommend Alana!
We had an excellent experience working with Taylor & Strong. The team was professional, responsive, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their knowledge and attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way. Highly recommend their services and would use them again in the future – definitely a five-star experience!
A personable and very professional agent who has an extensive knowledge and understanding of the Dunedin's West Harbour area. He's very approachable when seeking advice, and the advice offered is always very sound. Whether buying or selling, I unreservedly recommend Andrew and Lydia from Tall Poppy Dunedin
Working with Andrew was an excellent experience. His reassurance throughout the process made everything feel smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, his deep local knowledge and professionalism shone through, providing us with great advice and guidance at every step. We felt confident and well-informed the entire time. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced real estate agent.
Andrew was professional from the get go! He made the sale of our house run smoothly, answered all our questions and put together a well thought out and precise appraisal along with great advertising for our property. Not only did Andrew sell our house, he supported us through purchasing our new property which he did at ease, provided great communication and made the whole process easy for us! Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you!
Andrew has been a great agent to work with, very responsive to all calls and messages and very helpful through the whole process
Andrew was fantastic during our buying process! He went above and beyond in terms of communication and advice - highly professional and just an all round nice guy. We are very thankful to Andrew for ensuring a smooth and hassle free purchase, especially as nervous first time buyers.
