If you are looking for a reliable, hardworking, and transparent real estate agent who will truly advocate for your best interests and achieve fantastic results, look no further than Todd Soper. Thank you, Todd, for making this sale such a smooth and rewarding journey!
Communication was great
Kay answered all our questions, forwarded any documentation we required and really tried to ensure the buyer and seller got a successful result.
I had an excellent experience working with Matt. As a buyer I really appreciated how friendly, approachable and knowledgeable Matt was - it made what can be a stressful process feel much more manageable. Matt was helpful at every step, taking the time to understand what I was looking for and offering thoughtful guidance. Matt is fair and honest and had a great understanding of the local market, which gave me confidence in the decisions I was making. Communication was a real standout. Matt kept me informed throughout the entire process, responded quickly to any questions, and explained everything clearly so I never felt unsure about next steps. Overall, couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Wanaka market.
Woodrow was fantastic throughout the process. When showing me through homes, he was never persuasive or pushy. He was honest, grounded, and genuinely understood what I was looking for. He encouraged some out-of-the-box thinking and helped me see different possibilities and boundaries, but always in a way that felt supportive rather than forceful. His tone never changed depending on my level of interest, which I really appreciated. Overall, Woodrow is a kind and genuine person, and someone I’d happily sit at the pub with exchanging stories. I’d highly recommend him.
Sharon was very straightforward to deal with, and has great knowledge of the local market.
At all levels of the experience, Jamie was very knowledgeable, professional and articulate. Any queries we had, no matter how trivial, were answered in a timely manner. Even opening the home on Kings birthday holiday so our family could view.
Peter was very professional & responsive in our dealings. Thanks Murray
Sharon was professional in all aspects of the sale, she has a deep knowledge of property in the Wanaka area and a wide contact base.

Sharon worked hard to get the sale away and advocated for the best achievable sales price. She also has a great team around her to support every aspect.
Woodrow was superb to deal with throughout the sale of our house in Wanaka. He was always approachable, easy to communicate with, and happy to answer any questions we had.
