9 Redwood Pl Te Awanga
Bron was very committed,and professional in her approach to selling our property at no 9 Redwood place. However we did take independent advice on selling the property, and changed our strategy to a fixed price. This resulted in a sale price 7% higher than previous offers. I would have to say I was disappointed and not impressed by Will Tremains pressure to accept the Deadline offer price of $880 , , and would be hesitant to use his services again. It seemed to have an undercurrent of a quick sale , to generate commission. I understand Bron was not about at that time ,and not part of the process then. I totally accept that Real estate is a cash flow business, But I felt the approach was short sighted, and pushy.

Paul was great to work with. Great communication, warm and friendly, and made the whole process easy. Paul showed us around multiple properties to help us gain an understanding of the market- super helpful for a first home buyer! Thanks for your help, Paul.

Paul impressed us from the moment we first met him. His enthusiasm and positivity was exactly what we were looking for to sell our property. His advice and help in preparing our house was invaluable and when it came to market he kept us fully up todate on all happenings. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone who wants an agent who is as invested in your property as much as you are and ensures your dreams come true. Thanks for everything Paul

Pip and Darryl were great to deal with from our very first meeting. They were well informed, experienced, thoughtful, open and honest. Our situation was not straightforward – a family home owned by a trust with the 4 beneficiaries all living out of town. Pip and Darryl navigated the paperwork with ease. They then went the extra mile for us as vendors who couldn’t be there in person – meeting tradespeople, arranging the staging, even loaning personal pieces to complete the home’s presentation. Their work helped gain us a successful sale at a good price in a short period of time. We highly recommend them both. Many thanks Pip and Darryl from us all!

Darryl and Nic did a fabulous job of selling our property in what became a rather unpredictable market. From the outset they were incredibly helpful with suggestions for improvements we could make before bringing the house to market and finding "staging" help on our behalf at a very busy time of the year. They kept in regular communication with us throughout the entire process and we were delighted with the end result. Thank you Darryl (and Nic)

Having had Darryl Buckley with us all the way, in the built up and successful sale of our holiday home, we would like to sincerely thank him, for his support. Darryl is extremely professional, but still delivers everything in a such a way, like an old and trusted friend and is always available, giving advice when needed. Nothing is too much trouble, for him. Believe us, we would have no hesitation in recommending Darryl, as the right person to contact, for any real estate required,

From the moment I contacted Sarah for an appraisal, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication was clear and prompt, and she has such an easy, friendly manner that instantly put us at ease. We were won over by her attention to detail, her thoughtful marketing approach, and the way she explained the best timing and strategy for bringing a property to market. I especially appreciated the detailed plan she provided — from photo dates to launch timelines to open home schedules. It gave us clear milestones to work towards and meant getting our home ready never felt rushed or overwhelming. Throughout the campaign, both Sarah and Simone (another fantastic member of her team) kept us fully informed. We received updates straight after every open home, followed by more in‑depth feedback within 24 hours each week. We always knew exactly where things stood and how the campaign was tracking. We did have a small hiccup when our first buyers weren’t able to meet their conditions, but Sarah didn’t miss a beat. She jumped straight into action and, the very next day, presented us with three stronger offers. We moved forward with one of them, and just five days later we were unconditional — and absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We were also lucky enough to work with Sarah on the purchase of our next home. She and Johnnie (another amazing member of her team) introduced us to a beautiful property in Bay View that we instantly fell in love with. They guided us through the entire process and turned what could have been a stressful experience into something smooth, positive, and genuinely exciting. We will forever be grateful for the incredible experience we had with Sarah and her team. Their professionalism, care, and dedication made all the difference.

Sarah is one of the most professional Real Estate agents we have worked with. She implemented a clear strategy and a well-executed marketing campaign for our property - the entire process ran seamlessly. Her advice was insightful, and she delivered it in a calm, reassuring, and confident manner. We highly recommend Sarah.

What a pleasant experience buying my first home with help from Sarah and her team. At times some things were out of our control for timings and deadlines, being the purchase of the home was during the xmas/new years holiday period and lawyers etc were on holiday but Sarah kept a positive attitude reassuring me and giving guidance through the whole nerves triggering experience. Thank you Sarah for helping me purchase my dream home and your professional guidance along the way.
