This lovely lady has gone the extra mile and organised everything for me. The sale could not have been easier. Thankyou Sharnika!!
Monique found us a great place to move to after handling the sale of our existing property that suited our needs. Much appreciated.
Callum is the most friendliest land agent I have ever met. He always answered every question or concern fully, never left me waiting for a reply. He gave me ideas on what I could do to achieve a sale. He even went as far as just touching base with me to see how I was and if we had any concerns. He was serious but light hearted at the same time, he really knew how to read the room. I couldn't have asked for a better agent, he sold our daughter's house a few years back and she told us Callum is definitely the agent to have and I'm not sorry I took her advice and I would tell everyone who is looking at selling that Callum is the agent to get the job done and make it a pleasant journey along the way. I have come away feeling like I've made a friend.
We had an absolutely brilliant experience selling our property in Whakatāne with Callum.From day one, he was incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and brought a wealth of local market knowledge to the table.He made the entire selling process seamless and as stress-free as possible. We were thrilled with how fast the property sold, and it is all down to his expertise and dedication. We cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to sell!"
Kim was great to deal with straight away. We had been thinking of doing another move and then that did not work. My Husband found our home an we called Kim straight away, then that afternoon and we were able to view the home, which we have now purchased. Kim was only a phone call away through the whole process. Nothing was a worry. If you're new to purchasing or just want a professional Agent, then Kim is great. The most impressive part was our final viewing. Kim was so thorough and got us to check everything, as it was important to her that we were happy, we needed one thing done which she organised and the seller had it sorted the next day. It was a great process with her and the stress was nil, as Kim owned it all the way through to make sure it was pleasant. The day the sale went through, we dealt with Kim all day, until we took the keys over.
Callum was good to deal with
Callum has been a fantastic agent throughout the whole process. He answered all of my questions, provided great recommendations for services, and supported me right through the auction process to a successful bid. His communication and guidance made the whole experience much easier, and I really appreciated having his support along the way. I would happily recommend Callum to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
Jill kept us well informed throughout the process, always making sure to offer assistance.
Kim noes the area and the market really well all ways get the right price for us and no stress sale
Selling property is not something most of us do every day, this is the 4th house sale for myself and I can hands down say Kim has been the best by far. From the very start of this process Kim has been the consummate professional taking us through the process and explaining the different package options. Selling a house with an elderly Father in it, whilst we are living in Australia could have been challenging, however Kim worked in with my Father to organise open homes and potential buyer visits, keeping us in the loop with weekly reports and regular phone contact. When we came to getting some final information after the LIMS report she personally went to our aircon supplier to get the compliance certificate and went to council for us to get details about the fireplace. This is not the actions of a normal agent, this is someone who sees people as individuals and goes above and beyond. Thanks to Kim my father is now able to come out to Australia to be nearer to us, I could not recommend her more highly.

With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies.
