Elaine is very much a master of her profession. I have been fortunate enough to have had Elaine sell two of my homes. A very classy lady with all the knowledge to help you purchase or sell your home. A sense of humour always helps in such a stressful time, Elaine’s is wicked😊 Lots of laughs. Thankyou Elaine for all the hours you have put in with the sale of my home. I very much appreciate you and all the team at LJHooker Waimate. Much love
Tuesday May 19 2026 sunny morning approximately 1030 I phoned 0275487020 and not much happened BUT at approximately 1051 my phone rang and the lady said Hi Dionne here from REDHOT REAL ESTATE WAIMATE. In the next approximately 3 minutes and 25 seconds a DEAL was done. SOEASY ! .
As soon as we saw a house we loved,Dionne and Jules gave us ideas on what could help make our current house sell and get it on the market as soon as possible to get the result we wanted. They were fantastic at keeping us informed and putting our minds at ease during the stress of buying and selling at the same time. We are super grateful for all their knowledge and guidance in getting our new home and will be recommending them to anyone looking at buying or selling!
When we needed to find a purchaser for our property a phone call to Jules and Dionne was bound to deliver, and deliver it did! Very few open homes before we had an offer on the table. The team then went to work on making sure the chain was complete. We went unconditional in early June and looking to move into our new property in late July. Totally painless and can't thank the team enough.
Dionne was very helpful and got a sale across the line, very hapy.
Really good to deal with and very helpful through a long and complicated situation. Thank you very much..
From our very first meeting Dionne and Jules were professional, approachable and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for our family. They had great communication throughout the entire process. Buying and selling at the same time can be incredibly stressful but they made us feel and supported and informed every step of the way. The marketing campaign for our home was fantastic and generated great interest leading to a successful result. We felt that they went above and beyond, not only as real estate agents but as people who genuinely cared about our family and goals. We are grateful for their hard work, kindness and guidance throughout this journey. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and hardworking real estate team.
We loved working with Elaine on the sale of our home. She was easy to deal with, friendly, very helpful and always available if we had any questions. Her market knowledge was great and I would definitely recommend Elaine to any seller.
