Dealt mainly with Sam, who was very helpful in assisting me as a first home buyer. He kept in contact and took the time to answer my questions, and always responded in a timely manner.
Shelley kept us updated about attendance at open homes, and interested parties. She also kept us informed when people went back for a second or third look. Shelley worked tirelessly to get an offer to us, and, although we didn't quite get to the price we were after, we realise it was a tricky market at the time, and Shelley got us through to final sale. We appreciate her knowledge and commitment, given that we live a fair distance away. Thanks Shelley for your support.

Very friendly, easy to talk to. Answered all questions. Accommodated me when my work schedule didn’t allow me to see the place in your typical time for loooking at houses
We had never met Anna Straathof before the decision was made to sell our 2 bedroom unit in New Plymouth. We reside in Auckland and it was important to have a Real Estate Agent we could relate to personally. We were so lucky to be introduced to Anna by a trusted family member. Anna's professionalism was exceptional in answering our many questions and perceived problems accurately. Every phone call was answered directly, calmly and correctly. Paper work was presented promptly, and corrected here and there with patient calmness. Anna communicated with our legal team with professionalism. When the sale was completed within weeks Anna celebrated equally with us, all of which was handled in a particularly 'difficult' period for house sales. Her follow up was greatly appreciated.

Really pleased with Haydens work on our recent flat sale. He was very easy to work with, used direct, honest and timely comms, and responded quickly to questions which helped with decision making and led to a good outcome for us. There was no lack of effort when the property took longer to sell than we thought it would, and his attitude remained positive throughout. Would we use Hayden again? The answer is yes.

Christina is attentive in answering questions and even give suggestions beneficial to make transactions smooth and easy. Very knowledgable on how property acquisition works. Highly commendable agent.
Janine was exceptional to work with throughout the sale of my home at 23 York Crescent. What stood out most was her responsiveness, market intelligence, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Her knowledge of the local market was evident from the outset. She provided clear, evidence-based advice on pricing, marketing, and buyer expectations, which gave me confidence in every decision along the way. Janine was always available to answer questions and consistently kept me updated, often responding incredibly quickly and proactively keeping me informed of developments. Beyond her professionalism and expertise, Janine genuinely stood out through her dedication and attention to detail. She took the time to understand my circumstances, was transparent and honest in her advice, and worked tirelessly throughout the sales process. I never felt like just another client. Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but Janine made the process straightforward and well-managed from start to finish. I was delighted with the result and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in delivering the best outcome for her clients.
We found Anna and her team even better than expected. From our initial meeting, presenting our appraisal and every step of the sale process we found communication, market knowledge and professionalism at an extremely high standard. I was recommending Anna before we had agreed sale on our home as we had such confidence she would deliver. I deal with property transactions regularly as part of my job and I know how bad service and lack of knowledge can impact both financially and emotionally. This made me appreciate our experience as we had no surprises and Anna had prepared us well and was well aware of the bigger picture for us and our sale and new property purchase. When the time comes to sell again we will not hesitate to engage Anna.

Nikki's communication was clear, consistent, and proactive throughout the entire process, keeping me informed and reassured at every stage. She demonstrated excellent market knowledge, providing honest advice on pricing and presentation that ultimately led to a successful outcome. She truly went the extra mile, putting in significant effort to get my home market-ready and sold, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and highly capable agent.
Carley was easy to work with, very accomodating and supportive through my first home purchase. Was aways easy to contact and responded quickly. Liaised fairly between myself and vendor and followed up with vendors when house wasn't left in a tidy condition and got it all sorted.
