I can't recommend Chris and Will more. They were good communicators and very clear on the sales process and where things were at through-out. They are very responsive on the Whatsapp group they set up and always got in touch regarding viewings and provided feedback after viewings and open homes. They proved to be resilient in a slow market and kept working hard even after we had a conditional offer providing me with certainty and an outcome. They managed the process from end to end in a professional and seamless manner. Safe hands!
Here's Option C — all four brief areas covered, all the golden lines kept: --- Selling our family home, on land owned for 40-plus years, was never going to be straightforward — and it wasn't! A property of Wairarapa or Kapiti Coast size but only 13kms from Wellington's CBD. From the moment we met Michael Hinds, I knew we were with the right people — for our property and, as it turned out, for us too. Michael turns up an agent and leaves as a friend. Warm, genuine and truly interested in you and your family — not just in selling your house. He digs into what makes your property and story special, and THIS is what he, Mariola and Andrea share with viewers to turn them into buyers. His market knowledge is standout — he knew exactly who Waitakaro was for and how to reach them. There were moments where life intervened in ways none of us could have planned for. Every single time, Michael's response was the same: family first. He meant it. Every time. His communication was constant and honest — every question answered, every call taken, day or night, without hesitation or judgement. When deadline day arrived, he brought multiple offers — exactly what this property deserved. His negotiation skills secured us above BEO and I am genuinely happy with what the team achieved. Between the delays, the life events and the sheer complexity of it all — Michael's professionalism never wavered. We wept, we laughed, and through it all, he kept showing up. If you want an agent who will treat your home and your family with genuine care, patience and professionalism — and who will hold the line for you when it counts — call Michael Hinds. You won't regret it.
Ben and the team helped us sell our first house. They were a safe pair of hands, were very responsive to all our questions, and kept well us informed of the different stages. Their portal was updated daily, so we could see how many people had shown an interested in our house and what their feedback was, and we received a report each week with more detailed information.
Obviously a well experienced property salesman with efficient and effective team and systems behind him. A good knowledge of the current market Kept us in good communication at all stages of the selling process with a friendly and clear professional approach at all times.

Clare and Grant were highly recommended to us, and they certainly did not disappoint. After being left extremely despondent by other agents, they arrived with confidence, genuine knowledge, and the reassurance that they could sell our house. Their communication was excellent, offering practical advice without ever being pushy. Nothing was ever a bother, and they responded quickly to every question we had. Thanks to Clare and Grant, we are now moving on to our next chapter.
We have just bought and sold with Chris, and he was able to expertly guide us through the process in a very challenging market. We’re super grateful we are about to move to what is going to be our dream house!

Clare supported us in our search to find our next home over several years. She listened to us, was always proactive and thinking about us but not pushy. She was always interested in the likes / dislikes of any property she showed us. When we decided to sell Clare was the obvious person to help us sell our home of over 15 years. She was very clear in her communications and fair in her proposal. She always listened and gave guidance when she thought we needed it. Her efforts resulted in a successful sale. She knew the area well and we sold within the price range of her appraisal. There were / are other properties in a similar price bracket that have not sold. We have no hesitation in recommending her.
David is an experienced operator. Great communication, great market knowledge, great negotiation skills, very polished and professional. Tick tick tick. But added to that: We were very nervous selling in winter, in a tricky Wellington market, but David was reassuring and confident just when we needed it. No rosey story, he tells it as it is, but he is steady. We know that when it comes to selling a house, it comes down to who comes through the door on the day, but we had every confidence that all interested parties were followed up with and all relevant info passed on efficiently. He was available when we needed him and he always replied quickly to any queries from us. We are so grateful to David for his work ethic and sector smarts. It is such a pleasure working with someone who actually does what they say they are going to do. Everything just went as smoothly as it possibly could. Added to that, we are thrilled with the a positive outcome: a swift sale at a good price. We would have no hesitation calling on David with any future property sale needs.
From first meeting Ben and his team they have been both friendly and professional. His team are a pleasant group to work with. Very prompt with all interactions, friendly and articulate advice. Excellent communications set up and maintained by them. Very knowledgeable about the market, and open and honest with their advice about our home selling in that market. Very experienced and professional agent, and I am very happy to recommend their services.
I worked with Vinay and Havinder from Harcourts to sell my family home. I found the whole process daunting but they both made a difficult situation easy. They handled all the paper work, explained everything that I needed to know and were patient when things didn't go as planned. I am very happy with the outcome and excited for my family home to eventually be passed onto another family to enjoy.
