Agencies in Waimarama, Hawke's Bay

We enjoyed meeting with Hamish, his easy manner and excellent communication made the transaction flow smoothly

Right from the beginning I knew Fiona was going to get the job done in a professional and timely manner. Fionas communication was amazing her instructions clear with reasoning to match. I always felt like we were heading in the right direction with open and honest expectations of what could and needed to be achieved. I feel like Fiona was 100 percent on point with her approach and I will be forever grateful that I had her as an agent to sell our house. The market wasn't an easy one and Fiona managed to sell our home within 2 months where a property had not sold in our suburb for 8 months. And there were many other properties for sale. Many thanks an awesome way to begin 2026.

We chose to work with Kassie as we had confidence in her ability to work hard for us and deliver a great result. She went above and beyond our expectations. Kassie kept us consistently informed, communicated timely and clearly and when challenges arose she came prepared to us with practical solutions. Her marketing was exceptional, especially the social media content which was creative and really made our property stand out. Thanks to her dedication and professionalism we achieved a result that exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly pleased with Kassie and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others. Thanks so much Kassie!

Nicky was really helpful, positive and pleasant. She had done the research and was an easy, honest communicator. Thanks Nicky for helping make the potentially anxious process of buying our castle, a joyful one 🤩

From the 'get-go', Neal showed his massive experience in bringing our heritage 1880s property to the market. Missing the mark four years ago in a falling market, was tough for us all, but this time he succeeded at lightning speed, offering us an off-market listing with no marketing costs! And getting a price above RV. We appreciated the Sothebys style of management where qualified buyers are shared across agents; it was a real asset having an agent for the buyer and Neal for us the vendors. Excellent negotiation skills. Plus, Neal has a great gift for staging and takes pride in presenting your home as if it were his own.

Having only ever sold one home 30 years ago, was slightly apprehensive about the giant step i was about to make Mel instantly put me at ease - absorbing any concern i may have harboured ; her honesty, compassion, interest support and respect added up to an extremely smooth process. She kept me informed constantly, inviting my opinion. I felt safe, respected and looked after during the very brief time it took for my home to sell. I wish Mel all the very best for the future; would recomend her to anyone wishing to buy, sell or invest.

This is the second house Mel has sold for us… we enjoy working with her and the Colab brand… Professional team, great marketing and good communication… Happy to recommend her and would use her for future house sales

Mel came highly recommended to us. She was always confident of the outcome and went about her business in a truly professional and capable way, while always putting us first with her friendly and caring manner. We were never left wondering and would highly recommend Mel and the Collab Team to anyone thinking of selling their home. Thank you Mel. You were exceptional.

Andrew provided us a clear direction to take to prepare well before putting our home on the market and we were confident with his Sales plan for our Property. He was always available and took us through each step without hesitation. We appreciate his time and great focus on the Sale of our home! Nothing was to much trouble for Andrew. Thank you!

She is an outstanding communicator, with an aptitude for bringing buyers and sellers together in difficult market conditions. Her approach is generous,friendly and inclusive, but she is totally decisive when drawing negotiations to a successful conclusion.

Andrew did have a good overview of the market. He was quickly able to compare different sales within the local market. Open homes were hosted with enthusiasm. These days it is the only way to sell houses and get people through the door. Andrew was very professional when it came to the final sale negotiations and they went very smoothly.

Working with Tiana was a pleasure. Open, friendly, great communication and made us feel that she was after the best outcome for us. Would recommend her to any prospective clients.

Bridget was great to work with and everything went smoothly. She was efficient and always happy to answer any questions we had. A very positive experience overall!

Communication skills: Johnnie is an excellent listener. This was demonstrated from the start when he took to take time to understand my need to sell, the concerns I had and my need to have clarity about the selling process. I really appreciated his suggestions on how to prepare my home for visits with potential buyers. Personal Qualities: Johnnie is straight forward and honest. He has a great sense of humour, is kind and thoughtful Professionalism: He is able to engage personally while maintaining professional boundaries throughout the process. This meant that I knew I could rely on him to always respond to any queries, and at times to meet to discuss issues that arose during the process. His knowledge of the market and how that would impact on my need to expedite the sale of my property confirmed my confidence that I had asked the best agent possible. Negotiation: Because Johnnie had taken time to understand the reasons for the sale, this was straightforward and within the timeframe that I needed to meet. He was clear about options available to me, which enabled me to make a good decision. Thank you Johnnie. You were amazing.

Hannah is great to work with! She is honest and clear with communication and expectations. Hannah's kind and gentle approach takes all the anxiety out of the entire process of selling. Not to mention, works so hard to get the results she does!

Hannah is an incredible agent who listens and really understands her clients. From the first phone call to the email confirming the sale her communication and effort was exceptional, she left no stone unturned!! I knew where I stood through the entire process, what was happening, what she needed from me….so so easy especially as I live in Melbourne. Hannah I cant thank you enough 10:10 from start to finish

Communication was exceptional from the start. Prior correspondence would be voiced or communicated before executing her follow through. Her time management involving our case was superb. All communications and correspondence were meet promptly. We found Hannah to be efficient, friendly, humorous (during stressful times), present and highly professional.
