We had a wonderful experience working with Luke from Harcourts Rotorua. From start to finish, Luke was professional, approachable and genuinely committed to helping us achieve a great outcome. His communication was excellent, always keeping us informed and offering honest, practical advice along the way. We really appreciated his local market knowledge, negotiation skills and, most importantly, the personal care he brought to the entire process. A big thank you, Luke, for all your hard work and dedication. It was a pleasure working with you, and we would happily recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Luke was very responsive during the process which helped me quite a lot.
Team Piesse were fantastic! Callum and Anna made selling my house so easy, even with tenants still living there. They looked after all the communication with them and got the place market-ready without any stress. Nothing was ever too much trouble. When photo day turned up with no sun, they rebooked at very short notice so the house looked its best, and when I said it needed more staging, they were round in no time making it look great. They were always easy to contact, and there was never an issue. Best of all, it sold for the price I wanted. Thanks so much, Callum, Anna and the team!
I can't thank Amelia enough for her professionalism, patience and dedication throughout the sale of my property. This was far from a straightforward sale, with some challenging circumstances along the way. Amelia handled everything exceptionally well, maintaining excellent communication, keeping me informed and remaining positive and proactive throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was her persistence, honesty and willingness to go the extra mile to get things across the line. Even when things became difficult, she remained professional, approachable and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. Selling a property can be stressful at the best of times, but having someone like Amelia looking after things made a huge difference. I genuinely appreciate everything she has done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property. Thanks again, Amelia. Outstanding service!
Luke has been especially helpful in growing our rental portfolio and actively makes suggestions and helpful during viewings. Always timely and gets back to us in minutes.
A challenging property to market given its condition. Luke provided good market intelligence and guidance through the process.
We had such a great experience working with Team Piesse while buying our first home. Although the first house we wanted didn’t work out, Callum went above and beyond to help us find something even better — a home that ticks most of the boxes on our wish list! He made our house-hunting journey so much easier with his support, patience, and guidance throughout the whole process. We weren’t able to take a photo with the SOLD sign during our unconditional and pre-settlement inspection, so a few weeks after settlement, Callum went out of his way to come to our home carrying this huge SOLD sign! 😂 It was absolutely hilarious seeing him turn up with it, but at the same time, it really showed how much he cared and how much he valued us as buyers. Team Piesse made us feel special, appreciated, and never just like another buyer. They’re thoughtfulness and personal touch made our first-home-buying journey even more memorable. We’re so grateful to have had them by our side throughout this journey. We couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to buy a home!
Isabel is a fantastic agent she guided us through the whole listing and sale process. Any questions she answered straight away. Great with communication! Super happy with the sale of our property 🙂✨🍾
Karl has once again provided a very professional and outstanding service from start to finish with the sale of our property. Karl went well above and beyond what we expected, showing exceptional dedication, communication and professionalism throughout the entire sale, including taking it upon himself to reach out to council a number of times to sort out an issue with the property. He genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcome and is always willing to put in the extra effort when it mattered. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly delivers.
Friendly, easy to talk with, helps with any issues, being a first home buyer he really explaned, our options and help with the process.
