Scott and Kim were absolutely fantastic to work with throughout the sale of our property at 97 Highland Drive, Acacia Bay. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly proactive in their communication and approach. Their understanding of the Taupo market and strategic advice gave us complete confidence throughout the process, and they made what can often be a stressful experience feel seamless and well-managed. We always felt informed, supported, and genuinely looked after. What stood out most was their dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for us. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes and consistently went above and beyond. We couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend Scott and Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Taupo. An outstanding team and a pleasure to deal with. Tony and Susan Rundle
From start to finish, Dale and David were a friendly, professional, and highly knowledgeable team. They helped us understand every step of the process and expertly guided us through final negotiations to achieve the absolute best result for our property sale. We highly recommend them to any prospective vendor.
Ellie-Jane made the whole process of selling our house very easy with her professional, proactive approach. She had a good knowledge of the Taupo market and came up with a good marketing plan utilising traditional and online methods. Being very experienced, she knows what works to sell a house and there was good communication throughout the process. We had offers to buy within a couple of weeks and we sold at a price that we are very happy with, achieved in a flat housing market due to the current tough economic climate. Would highly recommend.
Thankyou CALEB for making our holiday home journey such a positive experience. Your professional guidance and support gave us confidence throughout the process. We appreciated your prompt communication and genuine care helping us find the right home with lake views. We will and have already recommended your name to our friends. Thankyou Caleb once again. Lygia and Sabinus Auckland
Simran was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and always kept us informed. She made the experience smooth and stress-free, answering our questions promptly and clearly. We were happy with the outcome, as the property sold at a good price. Overall, a positive experience and we would recommend her to others.
She really listened to what we wanted and was sensitive to our circumstances and gave us great advice that led to a really fast and favourable outcome. I would highly recommend her as my agent of choice in Taupo.

Leanne is a people’s person.Keep her on she is a treasure.Current sale has been a bit of a drag both for Leanne and myself but we will get there.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience buying our first home! From the very first viewing, Tej was incredibly welcoming and patient with all our questions. He stayed right by our side through the entire process, keeping us fully informed every step of the way. What we appreciated most was that he never felt like a typical salesperson; he’d joke with us and take a genuine interest in our lives and weekend plans. It honestly felt like working with an old friend who truly had our best interests at heart. Thanks, Tej
From the initial enquiry and throughout the process of buying our new bach, Helen was responsive, knowledgeable, honest and helpful. We valued her ability to manage our needs with the perfect amounts of professionalism, discretion and support. Thanks Helen.
