When I first inquired about the property with Ethan, he was so quick to respond and to accommodate us with a private viewing. He was so patient calling us or following up even if my husband and I were not able to respond.He is the kind of agent who listens to his client, respectful, wasn't pushy which we liked a lot about him. He and Joy were a big help for us to successfully acquire the property by negotiating for us. The whole process was so smooth because of their professionalism. Thank you so much Ethan and Joy! After our not so great experience with other agents, we finally found really great and genuine ones. We will definitely recommend you to our friends. You represent Harcourts so well. This is our second time purchasing a home with Harcourts and we can definitely say they are trust-worthy and such a great experience overall!
Excellent service. Great Comms especially after each open home and weekly reports. Lawrence and his team worked very hard to get as many buyers as possible and then worked to negotiate the best price. Would highly recommend Lawrence and his team, they worked very hard and provide excellent insights into the market.
Ethan is one of the best real estate agent we have dealt with in NZ. He is proactive and easy to talk with. Thank you for your effort and helping us buy our first home.
Melanie showed sincere interest in us as a family and enquired thoroughly about our expectations and plans ahead. In a tough market Melanie was very upfront about what we about to face and what the facts are on the table. Weekly statistics supported this information. Melanie always displayed an attitude of fairness and consideration. She shared her wealth of knowledge and experience to help us making informed decisions. She pointed us to other professionals including our lawyer and builders when needed.
Good skills and service
This was the second time I’ve chosen Ethan Huo from Ray White to sell a property, and once again, he delivered an outstanding result. Choosing him again is a reflection of the trust I have in him. My circumstances changed unexpectedly, and I needed to sell within a very short timeframe. Ethan stepped in immediately and supported me from preparing the property for market through to the final sale. He was there every step of the way, which took a huge amount of pressure off me. The current market is challenging, but Ethan was able to identify genuine buyers and create strong opportunities. When the auction passed in, he quickly followed up with interested buyers and used his excellent negotiation skills to secure a price well above my expectations and significantly stronger than I believed was achievable in this market. His commitment was exceptional. He arrived early for every open home, made sure the property was tidy and well presented, and followed up diligently with every potential buyer. He genuinely worked for the best possible result. What really sets Ethan apart is his personality and the way he treats his clients. He is humble, genuine, calm and incredibly easy to deal with. His approach always made me feel comfortable and reassured, and I knew my best interests were being looked after. From listing to sale, the entire process took just three weeks — an outstanding result in the current market. Having worked with Ethan twice, I can honestly say he is one of the best real estate agents I’ve ever dealt with. He combines market knowledge, strong negotiation skills and genuine care for his clients. Ethan doesn’t just sell a property — he stays beside you from start to finish and takes responsibility for getting the job done. I couldn’t recommend Ethan highly enough. Thank you, Ethan, for going above and beyond once again and delivering such a fantastic result.
Right from presenting our options Daniel was very clear about what process to suggest. The marketing plan was very clear and the timing was nice and tight. We were nervous about going to auction as we had not done that before. The number of people we had at open houses was exceptional resulting in a highly competitive auction and an amazing outcome. If you want great communication and enthusiasm you should use Daniel
From the beginning we liked Daniel’s very keen, professional style! After bringing many, many potential buyers to our house, we received a fantastic auction sale price, the ultimate “cherry on the cake” for any seller! We can not thank Daniel enough for his professionalism, feedback and especially for persevering with us. We highly recommend him!
Ethan and his wife have a very unique communication style which makes them unique. With how busy the world is and people preferring a digital way of communication, Ethan and his wife make time to meet you, seat with you and have a conversation treating you more as person and takes the time to listen to your goal. They understand the market and your need and try their best to meet your need. It would be great to have more agents like them who treats you like their family and not their income. Highly recommend them!
