There is a reason Glen is one of the top-rated agents in Nelson. His grounded no-nonsense approach and incredible knowledge of the local housing market, along with his reassuring presence and engaging personality, made the whole process as pleasant and easy as it gets in one of life's most stressful moments. Even during some snags in the process, Glen kept everyone informed throughout, and helped keep our buyers engaged, guiding us all to an outcome we were all thrilled with. We highly recommend him to everyone looking for an agent they can trust with great instincts, clear communication, and a great head for strategy to get sold quickly and painlessly.
"Phil and Liz were very pleasant and easy people to work with and their feedback and advice was appreciated."
Ben turned his deep knowledge of the real estate market in Nelson to navigate a conditional sale into an unconditional sale. To do this he had to work with several people to benefit both the purchaser and the vendor. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their home
They were so professional and explained everything to us. I felt totally at ease and taken care of. I didn't know much about how it all works but the walked us through it so we felt comfortable. I knew they would negotiate the best deal for us and they did. I highly recommend their services.
We had the pleasure of working with Brent Palmer (Tall Poppy ) and were extremely satisfied with the entire process of selling and buying our next house . Brent gave us excellent customer service , we found Brent friendly , he explained things, had great communication and we always felt supported ,and Brent was always available to answer any questions. We highly recommend Brent to anyone wanting a real estate agent. Thankyou Gary Thomas & Sally Rodgers
"They were realistic with what my house was worth, explained things to me well so that I understood, and was patient with all my questions or queries. Selling a house for the first time, my experience with Phil and Liz was stress fee and informative, they know the business and the market, and can really "sell" your property."
Glen was exceptional right from the start. Communication was second to none, answered all my questions, and kept me updated with every single detail. Presentation of property was top notch, fabulous, and got me sold within a week!!! Outstanding.
Lana made selling our home a lovely experience. She was excellent at communicating with us every step of the way and her explanations of the process involved made it very easy to understand what was happening the entire way through. I would highly recommend working with Lana.
We had a great experience working with Lana to buy our home. She had the perfect balance of being casual yet professional, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Communication was always clear and effortless, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Highly recommend Lana if you’re looking for someone approachable, reliable, and great to deal with!
This was our second time listing with Kat. As usual we were both impressed with her professional , friendly and warm approach. Kat clearly held great insight and understanding into the market, helping us decide the best way forward for our sale. She goes over and beyond with offering support and guidance which made the whole process so easy for us. It’s reassuring when you put something so personal as your home in the hands of an agent who treats it as their own too. We really appreciate her willingness to gain the best price for us. We’d highly recommend her.
