Seller of 1/4 View Road, Shelly Park
It’s 2026 and the housing market has fallen to slump. While many agents sales numbers had fallen away, Leah was different. Her analysis of the housing market and years of experience meant that we knew what to expect over the coming weeks. Leah assured me from day 1 that she would work around the clock to get this house sold and that she did. We ran a strong campaign, tied in with the McCartney Marketing excellence and had the house under a conditional contract within 3 weeks. Work for Leah doesn’t stop at offer number 1 however. Offer number 2 presented the following week without conditions. Our house was sold, it’s THAT easy. Next step, find the new home. Leah and Dave showed us through a number of listing that would suit our needs. We scrolled the property apps for months but it seemed all the best listings were signed up with the Leah and Team McCartney. Leah organised a private viewing for us on the perfect property. She guided us through the process of putting in an offer and gave strong advice on the negotiation. Selling and buying success! We are a couple weeks away from settling into our dream home in Cockle Bay and Leah couldn’t have made this process any easier. If you are even thinking about selling or buying a home in east Auckland, give Leah a call. You’d be silly not to.

We were so fortunate that we chose Leah to be our agent. We made the decision to sell our home just as the Iran conflict erupted resulting in an immediate slowing of the property market. Leah encouraged us to keep going. She worked tirelessly to attract potential buyers to view our home, and then followed up each enquiry. Leah kept us well informed of developments as well as remaining optimistic that a result would be achieved. Ultimately a sale was concluded in a timely manner and at a price that was satisfactory to all. Thank you Leah for a good job particularly well done.

Our sales team from Howick Branch of Ray White Dave and Leah were just amazing we were so tense and nervous of going down this track in a sale market of negativity floating around us all they just placed us at ease and comforted us on all angles and made this a journey of excitement in a challenging market we were facing. They were not scared to think outside of the box of imagination and adventure and from this they certainly delivered one hundred percent of this to our marketing process to the point we thought we were on a movie set of a Peter Pan adventure but in our case our Peter Pan was Dave McCarthy and his amazing team. Our potential buyer came through basically the first day of marketing perhaps it was Daves stage coach being pulled up by his loyal horses to the gate or even the visit we had from Tiger Woods for a golf match but to our surprise and his team they didn't know that Dave had a hidden talent of specking Italian. They were all amazing comforting and were so positive on this short journey with us from which Dave, Leah and team have left us truly humbled. Thank you so very much team for this adventure and the energy you gave us for always reaching for the star of a dream and to not look at just a sale of a home but to climb aboard the stage coach to be part of the experience of an amazing adventure. very Kind regards Cameron and Gayle

Dan was super friendly and professional. I appreciated that she followed up with me in a very timely manner without being overbearing or overly pushy. She is very responsive and always has a cherry smile when I see her.

Seller of 43B Stanley Point Road, Stanley Point
In this difficult selling market, Linda and her team supported us with their unwavering certainty that the right buyer for our house would come along. Their marketing skills ensured that a steady stream of potential buyers saw the property. Their personal skills soothed our nerves and projected calm, reassuring us with excellent communication and marketing analysis. They understand that buying and selling houses is a nerve wracking business. Always available and willing to help, Linda and Jacquie definitely went above and beyond to help us in our goal to sell - providing home presentation advice, sharing local contacts for jobs that needed doing, and generally wowing us with their care, generosity, commitment, and kindness. We also really appreciated the feeling that they were advocating for us as sellers but also for the buyer - a situation in which one party feels hard done by the other is never a good outcome and in a small community is particularly inadvisable, so this fairness and balance felt important. This is the second time that we have sold with Linda and Jacquie and we wouldn’t consider working with anyone else! Thank you Linda & Jacquie!
Seller of 58 Stanley Point Road, Stanley Point
Linda has unparalleled knowledge of the Devonport market, which was a key element in bringing together parties to create a great outcome for all. Patience and explanation of the process, coupled with the current market conditions, Linda and Mel put in a huge amount of work and effort. I am very grateful and a huge respect for their dedication. I found Linda and Mel courteous and never assuming anything, they would always check first that the house was available for viewing. The Teamwork, worked. Being honest and realistic with the market appraisal and throughout the process, balancing that with a vendors expectations takes professionalism. A stressful time and space to ask questions, even the same question multiple times was never an issue be that at the regular vendor meetings or via messages, the communication channels were always open. Thank you both again.
Seller of 7A Matai Road, Devonport
Linda highly impressed us with her professional approach and market knowledge. Her communications were extremely prompt and direct, often spiked with a sense of humour which helped to maintain a relaxed and virtually stress- free experience. We appreciated both her realistic and straightforward advice and flexibility. Linda’s commitment overall was exemplary.
