We purchased this property as a deadline sale and were very pleased with the agents. Ronelle is very open and honest, clearly know the market, suburb, and the properties she sells. The communication was exceptional throughout, often going above and beyond, in this case by obtaining additional information about the property from the original builder/owner, and also sourcing additional information in relation to the Title/LIM. Thank you. We would definitely recommend!
We will certainly use their expertise in the future. They gave us feedback on a daily basis and were always positive about the final result. Their knowledge of the house market was of a very high standard.
Ronelle who was nothing short of amazing! She was kind and patient, and explained the process in detail. We are first home buyers and were very nervous, but she took the time to make sure we were happy and went above and beyond with any queries we had. Truly cannot recommend her enough.
When it came to selling our house we didn't hesitate to get in touch with Ronelle. We'd met Ronelle several years ago when we first thought about selling but the time wasn't right. She has been very helpful and in regular communication since then. So when we were ready to sell, we knew immediately who to call. Ronelle has a really good understanding of the market, the local area, and the history of our property. It all made for a smooth process. The marketing worked well, with fifty-plus groups through three weekends of open homes. They facilitated multiple private viewings and responded to a huge array of questions. In the end, there were four offers on the deadline sale table, one of which met the criteria. Overall, a really good result.
Motivated agents with excellent knowledge of their trade and great communication. Could not have asked for better!
Great market knowledge, professionalism and communication skills. Very good negotiator.
Ronelle did fantastic job with the sale of our property. She kept us up to date about the progress and respected well our wishes and particular situation when planning and moving ahead with the different steps of the journey. You feel you can trust her in the trickiest situations and she went above and beyond to help us to make the selling process smooth. She is thoughtful, kind, intelligent and has a great sense of humour! I can fully recommend her if you want a hassle free property sales process. She has assuring energy in her and never leaves you with unanswered questions. There is not one bit of arrogance in Ronelle, it is healthy amount of confidence and hard work!
Thank you very much Ronelle for your hard work. We are so glad we found your name on a house sale sign board while on our walks and contacted you. We believe we made the right decision to have you and Simone as our agents. It is your perseverance that finally enabled the sale to go through Your tenacity and positivity reflected in an incredibly difficult downward spiralling market , yet you remained positive right through, encouraging us at all times. I remember on more than two occasions you beat me to it . You contacted the council, did your own research, read documents and faced the challenge in your stride. Your proactivity and research came to our help albeit it was outside the scope of your works. It is an indicator of your willingness to go the extra mile, no hurdle was too difficult to climb. Not once did you think " Its not my job" , you just went on and did whatever you could do to help the situation. We apologise for any impatience on our side especially during the highly stressful negotiating moments You and Simone make a great team, we thank you both and wish you well.
Ronelle has been an excellent agent to deal with. She has been encouraging, very professional, respectful, and works hard until there is a result. We highly recommend Ronelle as an agent you can trust and who gets results, even in a difficult market.
Ronelle is friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us get a fair deal for both us and the sellers. We faced some challenges in getting approval from the banks, and with both the Vendor and Purchaser having conditions, would not have been able to get the deal done if it had not been for Ronelle's knowledge and negotiation skills. Thank you Ronelle
Don't normally do reviews, and probably even less likely to do so when it comes to real estate. So that’s why it might be a good idea to read on. I am judgemental and cynical and lets say I have my doubts about integrity in certain fields. We chose to sell our house in Greenhithe to downsize and move to Christchurch with work, and with such a big decision and such a difficult market we went out to all the usual providers. There were some who you could see were just focused on the image. It was more about how elite they were, flashing the expensive pen and how they so wanted to be our friend, turning up uninvited making sycophantic jokes after speaking to you once, or trying to convince you thats its all about a film set style pitch that makes the difference. Then there is Ronelle calm, not trying to flash things up but giving the facts as she saw them. Highlighting at the start the risk and not shying away from the hard topics. When the property didnt sell as fast as we had hoped there was no stress again calm interactions about what needed to be done, and then actioning those decisions and moving on to completion. I whole heartedly recommend her and the team, they made what could be a stressful experience, stress free and never did I once feel I had a pushy sales person involved. Thanks Ronelle great job, use me as a reference anytime.
We recently sold our property in Greenhithe and would like to acknowledge the excellent service provided by Ronelle in securing a successful outcome. Despite a difficult market and challenging economic climate, Ronelle planned and executed a professional marketing campaign that attracted and engaged a number of interested parties. We have used Ronelle on a number of occasions and her level of professionalism and expertise continues to deliver results. We highly recommend her services if you are in the market or plan to be in the near future.
