Amanda was great in finding the answers to all our questions. She was super prompt in organizing private viewings and talking us through the process of purchasing a house pre-deadline. Great knowledge of what the current market is doing. Great knowledge on lifestyle properties. Very professional and realistic. She sold us our dream property.
We purchased a lifestyle block in Swannanoa through Adrian and found him excellent to deal with throughout the entire process. He was highly responsive, knowledgeable, and a very good negotiator who helped make everything run smoothly. Adrian was always available to answer questions and provided helpful advice along the way. A genuine pleasure to work with, and we would happily recommend him to anyone buying or selling property.
An outstanding result from Adrian and his outstanding team! From day one, their professionalism, communication, and market knowledge gave us complete confidence and made the entire process seamless. Their advice on issues from carpeting and decor to staging for sale was spot-on, their communication was excellent keeping us fully informed throughout, and their commitment never wavered. The auction campaign was expertly managed and achieved a fantastic result. We are delighted and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell in the Rangiora, Oxford and Darfield areas.

Adrian and Jazz were always readily available and helpful with any queries and when dealing with third parties. Their communication was consistently clear and they maintained a high level of professionalism throughout. I was overseas for much of the process, so I especially appreciated their support and the way they managed everything on our behalf. I would have no hesitation in recommending them both to anyone buying or selling property.
We had an outstanding experience working with Adrian, Amber and Jaz on the sale of our property. From the very beginning, they were proactive, professional and incredibly supportive. Adrian kept us updated every step of the way, sharing progress, coordinating trades, organising presentation work, arranging cleaning, staging, photography, garden maintenance and all the small details that made a huge difference. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. What really stood out was the level of care. This was not just a transaction to them. They treated the property, the process and our family with genuine respect. Amber and Jaz were also wonderful throughout — warm, responsive and committed to making the campaign run smoothly. Their communication was excellent, their tips were practical, and their attention to presentation helped the property come up beautifully. We felt guided, informed and looked after from start to finish. We are deeply grateful to Adrian, Amber and Jaz and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a real estate team who are professional, trustworthy and genuinely invested in achieving the best result.
Although the agent was representing the vendor, we genuinely felt supported and looked after throughout the entire purchasing process. From the beginning, they were professional, approachable, and fair in the way they managed communication and negotiations between both parties. There were several rounds of back and forth before we could agree on a price and conditions that worked for us, and the agent handled everything with patience, transparency, and professionalism. They took the time to understand our concerns and worked hard to help bridge the gap between ourselves and the vendor to reach an outcome everyone was happy with. What we appreciated most was that we never felt pressured. Instead, we felt the agent genuinely wanted the deal to come together in a way that was fair and satisfactory for both sides. Their responsiveness, honesty, and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful process feel far more manageable. We’re very grateful for their efforts in helping us secure our new property and would happily recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.
Jenny has sold two properties for us. She works hard and has produced great results. I recommend Jenny very highly if you want your property sold!
Selling my rural lifestyle block was far easier than I expected thanks to Amandas excellent communication, practical advice, and professional approach. Amanda kept me informed the whole way through. Being local, she knew the market well, and achieved exactly what she said she would. I really appreciated the honest guidance and how smoothly she managed the process from start to finish. Highly recommended.
Amanda was excellent to deal with throughout the purchase process. She communicated clearly and often, provided plenty of information ahead of the auction, and worked hard to find answers to any questions I had. This was a slightly quirky property, so the extra detail and preparation were really appreciated. Buying and selling property is naturally an emotional process for everyone involved, and Amanda handled that side of things with real calm, care and professionalism. She stayed steady throughout, helped keep communication moving, and managed the natural pressures of the process with ease. I really appreciated her hard work, clear communication and support.
Amanda went above and beyond to help me with my unusual property. She was very professional at all times, definitely knew the market and is a great communicator. My place was a very hard sell, however Amanda was always there to help and answer any questions that arose. She is very knowledgeable and I felt throughout the whole process, Amanda had my back. I'd highly recommend Amanda to anyone who's looking to sell. She's an energetic, intelligent, trustworthy lady who definitely looks after her clients and all those who are around her. Thank you Amanda for guiding me through a difficult time.
