We had the pleasure of working with Jon for the purchase of our first home in New Zealand, and we could not have asked for a better property agent to guide us through the process. As first-time home buyers and newcomers to the New Zealand property market, we found the entire process quite overwhelming at times. Jon was incredibly patient and took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring that we understood our options and felt confident in our decisions. No question was ever too small, and he was always willing to provide clarification whenever we needed it. One of Jon's standout qualities is his exceptional communication. He was highly responsive throughout the entire journey, keeping us informed at every stage and promptly answering calls, emails, and messages. His professionalism and attention to detail gave us peace of mind during what can often be a stressful experience. Jon’s strong market knowledge was evident from day one. He provided valuable insights and guidance that helped us navigate the property market with confidence. He also played a crucial role in facilitating communication between us and the vendor, ensuring that information was conveyed accurately and efficiently, which greatly contributed to a smooth transaction. Most importantly, Jon genuinely cared about helping us find the right home rather than simply completing a sale. His dedication, professionalism, and commitment to his clients made a significant difference to our experience. We are incredibly grateful for Jon’s support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property. If you are seeking a knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and trustworthy property agent, Jon is an excellent choice. He made our first home-buying experience a positive and memorable one.

Professional in all aspects of knowledge, negotiation skills

Jon Standbrook steered us through a very tough year for Real Estate in the country. It took a year to sell it but persistence eventually paid off. Jon was always positive ; honest with us about the pro's and con's of selling our lifestyle block ( that Is : it wasn't for "everyone" -- it needed that specific buyer not so easy to find ). Hallelujah : came the day -- proving the virtue of patience wins through.

Katie did an excellent job marketing and selling our property, while also going above and beyond to help us secure our new home. Throughout the whole process, she was proactive, supportive, and always kept us well informed. The market was challenging, but she worked hard to get the sale secured and guided us through every step with clear communication and honest advice. What really stood out was how much she cared — not just about selling our property, but also about helping us move forward into our next home. She was genuine, responsive, and made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. We really appreciated all her effort and would happily recommend her.

Katie was fantastic to deal with when buying our first home. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She went above and beyond finding the right people for reports we required. Katie just made everything stress free for us. Thank you so much!!

I recommend Kara without reservation and with genuine enthusiasm. In what has been widely acknowledged as one of the toughest markets for vendors in recent memory, she succeeded where many agents would have struggled — finding a buyer for my property and seeing the sale through to completion with skill, determination, and unwavering positivity. From the outset, Kara was refreshingly honest about the challenges we faced, while never allowing difficult conditions to dampen her drive or my confidence. Her proactive approach, deep market knowledge, and tireless commitment meant I always felt I was in capable hands. At a time when many vendors were left waiting and disheartened, Kara kept things moving — and kept my spirits up in the process. Where she truly excelled was in the negotiations. The buyer wasn't exactly straightforward to deal with, and I have no doubt a less experienced agent would have lost the sale entirely. Kara navigated every obstacle with remarkable patience, strategic clarity, and calm authority. She advocated firmly for my interests while keeping communication constructive — a genuinely difficult balance that she made look effortless. Beyond her professional expertise, what I valued most was Kara's warmth and genuine care. She was always available, always responsive, and always honest. Selling a property is one of life's most significant transactions, and having Kara guide me through it made the experience not only successful but genuinely positive. I would engage her again without hesitation and recommend her to any vendor who wants an agent that truly delivers.

When we decided to sell we chose to use Chris Bright a decision we never regretted. From day one Chris worked hard getting our house sold two days and we had a result. His professionalism was top notch, nothing was too hard, marketing, photos, videos were another level up the scale. He guided us through our journey with ease. We would recommend Chris if you need a dedicated agent to help you move on. Thanks Chris couldnt have done it without you.

Tania was very clear about the information she had at hand. Didn’t speculate or mislead. She was able to answer all of my questions by going away and speaking to the Vendors in a timely manner. She explained the auction process and allowed for inspections the same day of the auction!! Very pleasant to deal with and will recommend her services in future.

Tania offers the perfect combination of professionalism, experience and warmth. As inexperienced vendors, we really appreciated having someone so capable guiding us through the selling process. She gave us confidence at every stage, kept the process stress-free, explained things clearly, and was responsive and super easy to communicate with throughout. Her genuine, down-to-earth personality made her incredibly easy to deal with, and we always felt she had our best interests at heart. We trusted her advice 100% and followed her guidance every step of the way. That confidence was very well placed. In what is currently a flat and challenging market, Tania delivered an outstanding result for us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an approachable, experienced and highly effective agent.

Tania was recommended to us by a friend who had had excellent results with their sale. From our first meeting it was clear that Tania would be a good fit with us. She is very knowledgeable and supportive which was very helpful whenever we had queries. Her enthusiasm was appreciated and we felt we had made the right decision in selecting her to be our agent. Her professional but friendly attitude put us at ease during what can be a stressful process. Little personal touches were also greatly appreciated. We were happy with the outcome in this current market and know that Tania did her very best to get a great result for us. We have no hesitation in recommending Tania as an experienced and trustworthy real estate agent.
