Selling my home with Team Mary and Sarah from Arizto Whakatāne was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They were proficient, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making every interaction easy and reassuring. Their communication was consistently excellent across multiple channels, and the entire engagement process felt streamlined and painless. What impressed me most was how well they listened. They took my priorities seriously, responded to every concern with professionalism, and offered informed, savvy advice that I came to trust completely. From setting the listing price and strategy through to negotiating the deal and managing the final transfer, their guidance was spot‑on. I wanted to move fast, and they matched that pace with energy and enthusiasm. Their drive, organisation, and commitment made the whole process feel effortless — and the house sold before the first open home, which speaks volumes about their capability. Outstanding service from a team who truly know what they’re doing. I couldn’t recommend Mary and Sarah more highly.
Responded quickly, available and reachable. Made suggestions in terms of how to get a good impression with little investment and also the dynamics of selling and getting it right from the beggining. Realistic view, down to earth advise.
Great to deal with all round.

The entire process was super smooth and I felt very supported by Callum every step of the way. Callum is very responsive, and answered all of my questions with patience and honesty. I am very appreciative of his support throughout the entire process. Thank you!
I have known Pat since I was a child, and she even helped me into my very first rental, so when it came time to sell our home, we knew she was the perfect person for the job. Pat was incredible throughout the entire process. She was always available to chat whenever we needed advice, reassurance, or answers to our many questions, and she had such a great way of breaking down all the real estate jargon so we could fully understand everything happening along the way. We were honestly blown away by how quickly Pat sold our house, especially as we were working within a bit of a deadline. Not only did she get it sold with time to spare, but she also achieved a price we were really happy with. As it was our first home, it held so many special memories for us, so it meant a lot knowing Pat connected us with the right buyer, someone who will love this home just as much as we did, and we know the home will love her right back. Thank you, Pat, for all your amazing work, your years of knowledge and experience, your ability to form such genuine connections, and for always taking the time to help us understand everything throughout the process. We honestly couldn’t recommend Pat more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Pat was fantastic to work with, always advocating for us and helping us step by step through the selling/ buying process. She was always happy to spend time with us looking at properties and working on contracts etc, we highly recommend her!
