Latest reviews in Waimate
Dionne was very approachable, honest and knowledgeable. She had a calm warmth with all our interactions with her.
Communication was excellent always quick to reply to questions and any enquiries we had regarding the property. Great knowledge of the history of the property and explained the process of negotiation and was quick with any updates.
The purchase of my new home was made easy because of the professional way it was handled. Very helpful not only to the vendors,but to me as well. I am very grateful for their help
As stated above market knowledge is 2nd to none. Communication is key and you won't find a fault with either Jules or Dionne.
Dionne knew very quickly what we were looking for in a home didn't waste her time and ours showing us homes that were of no interest to us.
Christine was absolutely fabulous to deal with. The property took a long time to sell as it was looking for a niche buyer. Christine kept the lines of communication open all the time and kept me sane throughout the whole process! I would highly recommend and would happily use Christine again.
Dionne was always very enthusiastic about selling my unique property. Dionne is knowledgeable and can think outside the square to find solutions.
We dealt mostly with Julie-Anne, but both were friendly and professional in their interactions. It was easy to discuss all aspects of the sale, and they were quick to respond to queries. Julie-Anne was instrumental in keeping negotiations open when ours and the vendors expectations differed by a broad margin, and showed good understanding of the market conditions. We would happily work with both Julie-Anne and Dionne again, and certainly recommend them to others.
She is really professional in all aspects of the property and paper work, made buying a place so easy
