Clear communication, solid market insight, professional negotiation skills, and a high level of integrity made this agent a pleasure to work with.
Our search for a meaningful architectural home in late 2025 unexpectedly led us to one of the most exceptional real estate teams we’ve ever met, My wife Nadine and I were looking for something special in Hamilton. During an open home we met Melissa, and although that property wasn’t right for us, speaking with her left a lasting impression. She was warm, genuine, far more focused on understanding us than pushing a sale. That authenticity made us instantly question whether our then agent was truly serving us. Even though she didn’t sell us a home, we knew she needed to represent ours whether she liked it or not. Our home is special, full of character, built with our own effort, and the foundation of our family’s story. We needed someone who could recognise and communicate its heart. When Melissa introduced us to Richard, (Principle Hartles), we knew we had the perfect duo. Their complementary strengths were obvious from the start. We emphasised communication, and they delivered clear, honest, detailed updates throughout. Their social media presence was exceptional, and in the first 24 hours we had more views than three months with our previous agent. They listened, really listened! Every story and detail mattered. They insisted on capturing our home perfectly with the right photographer, the right light, the right angles, and a video that reflected exactly how we saw it. Selling a home is stressful, but we asked them to have fun with it and they did and so did we, a stressless process. Their enthusiasm was contagious, their professionalism unwavering, and their dedication exceptional. Melissa and Richard are the most committed, passionate, heart driven agents we have ever worked with. If you are considering them, you will not find a better team, you will not find people more invested in your success, and you will never regret choosing them. They delivered an outstanding campaign and the perfect result. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Communication from Shelley was excellent throughout the entire process. She kept us promptly informed about market interest, both before and after open homes, and was always easy to deal with. Shelley offered helpful advice whenever we were unsure, and she was more than willing to come out for private viewings and open homes — nothing was ever a problem. We would highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking to sell their home or lifestyle property

Amanda and Bruce are a very experienced father, daughter sales team. They were professional, motivated and very easy to deal with. My house went on the market late August and went unconditional on 19th October. It was a quick sale which I needed to move forward. I am very grateful to them both. It is very easy to deal with people you like and respect.

Colin showed a wide knowledge of the history of property and surrounding area which was most helpful. He was prompt in attending to my requests and handled them in a professional manner.

Colin and Maria helped me through a difficult time getting the property as market ready as possible. They kept in contact and I knew what was happening at every stage.
Kirsten went above and beyond to market our property. She made the entire process seamless, from the appraisal to settlement. Being flexible with Open Homes and/or showing potential buyers through the property was very much appreciated. Overall we can't rate Kirsten highly enough for her enthusiasm, eye for detail and professionalism.
