I had a great experience working with Des to market my property at 8A Awamutu Grove. He was honest, professional, and kept everything simple and stress-free. His appraisal was prompt, his marketing advice was practical and cost-effective, and his market feedback was thorough and honest. Des is one of the most trustworthy real estate agents I’ve worked with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property in the Hutt Valley!

A massive thank you to Scoota and Rupert plus Lauren and the entire admin team behind the scenes for the fantastic job they did selling our property. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We especially appreciated the use of WhatsApp to keep everyone updated, share information and get things sorted quickly. It made the whole process incredibly efficient and straightforward. A really professional, proactive team who were great to deal with throughout. We would happily recommend them and will definitely be using their services again!

Rupert and Scoota are fantastic to work with! Great systems and super clear communication - everything works well. They're also great communicators, work hard, and really meet you where you're at. We'd happily work with them again!

Seller of 4 Mokopuna Grove, Stokes Valley
A good experience overall. Paul is great to deal with and has a lot of experience and market knowledge. He is understanding and accommodating, which we really appreciated. There were a few basics that could have been done better with our marketing ad. Some important information from a buyers perspective were left out (parking spaces, sheds, access to public transport). It felt like we were the last to know about our open home times for the next week, but this was improved once I requested a notification in the WhatsApp chat. The WhatsApp chat was a great idea for communicating between us and Paul’s team. Everyone was helpful, professional, friendly and responsive. Thanks for getting us through to a successful sale!
Seller of 95A Main Road, Wainuiomata
We have sold two properties with Team Butcher & had some challenges with remedial works to the properties, Paul helped to overcome these concerns & sold both properties with minimal stress to us. I highly recommend Harcourts Team Butcher & looking forward to working with them future.

Buyer of 240 Muritai Road, Eastbourne
We hadn't considered the property we ended up buying but Sinéad encouraged us to have a look. It ended up being perfect for us and we can't wait to roll our sleeves up and make it our own. The team were all brilliant, and we were able to arrange a few extra viewings with no trouble. We would definitely recommend Team Sinéad to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Buyer of 17 Korimako Road, Days Bay
Sinead and the team did a great job across the board from showing us the house early on and through the open homes. Information was provided in a timely way and we felt fully informed throughout. There was really good support through the auction process from dealing with special conditions, a pre-auction session which was really useful, and support on auction day. Follow up service has also been great, with all queries answered quickly and professionally. Thanks to Sinead, Jen, Elsa and Nick who all helped along the way. Great job.
Seller of 66 Copeland Street, Epuni
Sinead and her team were professional, knowledgeable and energetic in their marketing of my property. They were approachable, super-helpful, and responsive whenever I had queries, kept me updated with progress, and know the local market well. I highly recommend Team Sinead.
