Agencies in Swanson, Auckland

We recently sold our home with Wendy Saad and couldn't be happier with the experience. From our very first meeting, Wendy was incredibly easy to talk to and, most importantly, she genuinely listened. She took the time to understand what was important to us, our concerns, and the outcome we hoped to achieve. Before choosing Wendy, we met with several agents in the Ellerslie area. While many were quick to tell us what they thought we should do, we often felt that our own views and priorities weren't really being heard. Wendy stood out because she took a completely different approach. She listened first, provided honest and thoughtful advice, and worked with us to develop a strategy that suited our goals rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. Her knowledge of the market and years of experience were evident throughout the entire process. Every recommendation she made was well considered, and her strategy delivered exactly what she said it would. She secured a great outcome for us in a challenging market, and having someone with her level of expertise gave us complete confidence from start to finish. One of Wendy's greatest strengths was her communication. She kept us informed at every stage, so we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. That gave us real peace of mind throughout the process. What impressed us most was her commitment after the sale. Many agents seem to step back once an agreement is reached, but Wendy remained fully involved right through to settlement. She continued to communicate regularly, followed up on every detail, and made sure everything stayed on track. That level of service and dedication is rare. We're so glad we chose Wendy over the other agents we met. She is professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cares about her clients. If you're looking for an agent in Ellerslie, we highly recommend Wendy. Her ability to listen, combined with her experience and proven strategies, truly sets her apart.

Chris was professional, responsive and worked hard to get the sale in a tough market. Chris had a positive (yet realistic) approach. Would highly recommend.

Working with them was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their communication was prompt, clear, and professional, and they always took the time to answer every question thoroughly. I felt well-informed and supported throughout the entire process. Their in-depth market knowledge and expertise were evident in every interaction. They provided valuable insights, explained all available options objectively, and offered practical advice that helped me make confident decisions. Their negotiation skills were exceptional, consistently working to achieve the best possible outcome on my behalf. What truly set them apart was their dedication, integrity, and client-focused approach. They kept me updated at every stage, paid close attention to detail, and handled every aspect of the process with professionalism and care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and results-driven professional. It was an excellent experience, and I would not hesitate to work with them again.

We needed to sell fast. It was April/May 2026, the market was flat, and we'd already had an offer accepted on our next place — no time to wait for the "right buyer" to wander in. Cheryl's first move was pragmatism. The house had a CV of $3.56m, but rather than anchor to that number and hope, she talked us through the market realistically and helped us land on a floor of $3m — a number we could actually sell at, not one we wished we could. That distinction mattered more than anything else. From there she pushed for a proper campaign, not a quiet listing. We moved out so the house could be cleaned and staged, invested in a high-end photo package, and put real weight behind marketing on Trade Me and realestate.co.nz. She brought her own network of stagers, decorators, cleaners and photographers, so presenting the house at its best was her job, not ours. She arrived early to every open home — clearing leaves, heating on, lighting right — and followed up after every viewing with buyer feedback. Nothing was too hard. The response spoke for itself: over 35,000 website views, 88 viewings, four building inspections. Four weeks after listing, we went to auction with five registered bidders and a reserve of $3.2m — in a market where comparable properties were struggling for traction. The house sold under the hammer for $3.35m — over 10% above our $3m floor. Selling at auction at all, in that market, was an outcome in itself. Advice to other sellers: when Cheryl tells you something about pricing or strategy, listen. You wouldn't do your own dentistry because you think you know better — this isn't the place to overrule a professional either. Whether you're a first-home seller, under time pressure like we were, or moving a high-value property — Cheryl is who you want in your corner. Unqualified recommendation.

AARON HAS A VERY RELAXED, EASY GOING MANNER AND OUTSTANDING MARKET KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY IN A TOUGH MARKET. WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH THE MARKETING STRATEGY AND ADVICE. WE LIKED AARON'S COMMUNICATION STYLE, ESPECIALLY AFTER EACH OPEN HOME. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND WORKING WITH AARON AND WOULD DO SO AGAIN. JAMES & GILL
