Sharon and the team at Bayleys are the consummate professionals in every aspect of the sale process - i can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Sharon and team!
The dedication shown by both Gavin and Bel impressed me. They were able in inform me of all relevant requirements clearly and efficiently. They listened to and acted on any suggestions we made regarding marketing and advertising. Altogether the whole experience was made less traumatic by their encouragement and friendliness. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any prospective sellers or buyers. They have my grateful thanks for a job well done.
Have dealt with Sharon before always excellent communication great to deal with
Very professional and very easy to deal with. Knew the market well, great communication!
We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Matt. His communication was absolutely outstanding. He kept us updated every step of the way, often before we even had a chance to think of asking. He was incredibly positive, proactive and always got things done quickly and efficiently. Matt made the whole process feel easy and stress free, and we always felt like we were in very capable hands. His professionalism, communication and positive attitude really stood out. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell, and we will definitely be using him again in the future!
Sharon and her team are very knowlegable about the Wanaka market. We approached Sharon to sell this property having been advised to use her services 7 years ago when we bought it. She and her team have been responsive, professional and well organised. The process of selling this property has been seamless and we would not hesitate to use Sharon again or recommend her to others.
We engaged Fiona on recommendation from a friend. We found her to be hard working and dedicated with her associate Hannah to achieve a sale. A sale was accomplished, albeit notably less than the expected achievable and agreed market value. Comments from Hannah during the negotiation process felt like the focus on a sale took priority over achieving the best outcome for the vendor.
Sharon was great to deal with. She clearly has a huge bank of experience behind her and we loved seeing how passionate she was about the property she is selling. We also appreciated how direct she was with us and is very timely in her responses via email, phone or in person (in our case face time).
Great communication and went out of their way to help
We recently purchased a home listed by Anna and had a great experience with her throughout the whole process. Her clear communication, knowledge of the local area and helpful guidance made everything feel easy and straightforward from start to finish. Anna was always approachable, responsive and happy to answer any questions we had along the way. We really appreciated her friendly and professional manner and felt well informed throughout the entire purchase process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anna to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Wanaka area.
