Mark was the agent selling the house that we purchased. He was helpful and willing to work around our availability to view the house, arrange inspections, sign documents and keep regular communication with the vendor. Even though he was the messenger to advise that the vendor triggered the escape clause on us, Mark was compassionate and in clear in his communication. After we worked hard to go unconditional, Mark celebrated with us and delivered a lovely home-warming gift once we had finally moved in.

The whole experience was lightning fast so it’s difficult to comment as I was only here for 5 or 6 days, rushed to get the paperwork organised before flying to Australia. I arrived back in Auckland, ten days later and in one hour had accepted a written offer.!! Howzat!!!
Purchasing a property from Jude was a dream, Jude kept us up to date with progress and dates along the way. And was happy to show us the property whenever we asked. Thanks again Jude
Kirt was an invaluable contact over several months during our relocation from Australia to New Zealand. She stayed in touch and provided up to date market information which enabled us to find the perfect property almost as soon as we arrived. We highly recommend Kirt for her communication skills, local knowledge and absolute professionalism.

I did not have to worry about anything from go to woh. Once the process was explained I was happy to hand the sale over and with Kerry’s market knowledge, know how and negotiation skills enabled my property to be sold in a very short time. Kerry also kept me informed on the house inspections and feedback. Kerry is a very personable and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you Regards Mark

Sarah was nearly always available, she replied promptly when unavailable.
We had originally planned to try selling our property privately, as we hadn’t had any good experiences with agents in the past. Kale reached out to us and we had an initial phone conversation. We are in Australia, no longer living in New Zealand, and even from that first conversation I had a really good feeling about him. He was confident he could get the job done, without ever coming across as pushy. We met Kale and Rachel for a coffee when we were next in New Zealand, and that only reinforced our first impression. They were both incredibly genuine, down to earth, easy to talk to and truly wanted to deliver an outcome for us. From there, they absolutely delivered. The property was sold within four weeks of engaging Kale — and that included three weeks off-market. Throughout the whole process, Kale was incredibly easy to deal with, communicated exceptionally well and was thoroughly professional. More importantly, he took the time to understand what we actually wanted to achieve and then worked hard to make it happen. Selling a property from another country could easily have been stressful, but Kale and Rachel made the whole process remarkably straightforward. We always felt informed, supported and confident that he had things under control. That’s what you want in an agent. Having had some very disappointing experiences with real estate agents previously, Kale has genuinely set a new benchmark for us. We couldn’t be happier with the result or with the way he and Rachel handled the entire process. We have absolutely no hesitation recommending Kale to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Thanks mate — it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you.
