It was a pleasure.
We have had Tania market the 5th property for us, this time our parents family home as they were going into a resthome, so a difficult task for the family. Tania is so professional, and sensitive in difficult times, and makes the entire process so smooth and trouble free. Her communication is excellent, always gives feedback and keeps in touch regularly, we never had to ask as she always kept us in the loop. She knows the Taradale area so well. We also feel Tania works so well for both the buyer and seller, giving her professional opinion and expertise as required. Thanks so much Tania for another very smooth sale.

Martin and Penelope (AKA The Goods) first stood out to me when I attended one of their open homes. They were engaging, proactive, and took the time to ensure my daughter and I fully understood all the features of the property. That level of care and attention left a lasting impression—and ultimately led to us choosing them to sell not just one, but two of our homes. Having never sold a property in New Zealand before, I couldn’t have asked for better guidance. They explained the entire process clearly from start to finish, and their in-depth knowledge of the Taradale market meant I always felt informed, supported, and confident in every decision. What really set them apart was their communication. In a market that isn’t always straightforward, they worked efficiently and delivered results quickly, all while keeping me consistently updated. The detailed feedback after viewings was invaluable—it gave me real insight into buyer interest and allowed me to move forward with purchasing my next property with confidence. Most importantly, they genuinely listened. Martin and Penelope went above and beyond to respect my specific wishes around open homes and viewings, and both they and their Harcourts team handled everything with professionalism, care, and flexibility. I’m incredibly grateful for the way they managed the entire process—smooth, efficient, and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for agents who are not only knowledgeable and hardworking, but who truly go the extra mile to get the job done. Thank you both for an amazing first home sale.
Brayden and his team regularly kept me updated throughout and answered my questions promptly. He successfully negotiated a delicate situation with the eventual buyer to achieve a good result. Always maintaining a friendly and professional manner throughout.
