Fantastic and professional job was done by Emma in the sale of our family home. From the first time I spoke with her I knew we had the right agent. She informed us every step of the way and made the process so comfortable. Would not hesitate to use her again and wish her all the best. Thanks again Emma.
Reference for Emma Shine 5 June, 2026 Re 76 Fairway Drive, Shirley Karen and I would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Emma on the exceptional job she has done throughout the entire process of selling Karen’s family home on Fairway Drive. From beginning to end, Emma demonstrated true professionalism in every aspect - from marketing and appraisal to open homes, buyer management, and, most importantly, the care and support she provided to us during what was a very emotional and stressful time. Her calm, inclusive approach and genuine kindness made all the difference. Combined with her expertise and attention to detail, she gave us complete confidence every step of the way and ultimately delivered an outstanding sales result.

I had no dealings personally with Mitchell but he was very professional and negotiated well with my agent to secure the sale of new property for me
All my questions were answered, so were my lawyers. Family and friends were made to feel welcome at the home inspections as well as I was.

Emma was exceptional from start to finish in the selling of our much loved family home of 66 years. She kept our family, in both NZ and Australia, well informed and guided us through documentation, open homes and inspector reports throughout the whole process. We were never left wondering or unsure. By the time the whole process was finalised, Emma was more like a good friend whom we all felt so comfortable with. We as a family are truly grateful to Emma, at such a daunting time, being unsure whether to sell or keep our parents home. Our gratitude to Emma is heartfelt by myself and 6 other siblings, and we wish her well. Whoever chooses Emma as an Agent will be absolutely blessed with one of the BEST, and I personally have used many. Thank you Emma we are truly grateful. Tania George and Whanau

Adam was in constant communication though out the process. We always knew were we stood his advice was solid. And did exactly what he said. Went the extra mile with open homes etc.
Very responsive. A easy smooth buying experience.
We knew from the beginning that Tanya was the right realtor to sell our property. When we encountered some unexpected circumstances with our initial buyers, her professionalism truly stood out. Tanya remained calm, proactive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process, while her honest and consistent communication gave us complete confidence every step of the way. Thanks to her strong understanding of the market and dedication, she secured a new buyer within just one day and achieved an outstanding result for us. Thanks Tanya, you made what would have otherwise been an incredibly stressful experience an absolute breeze.
