What our Customers are saying
“We started working with Murray and Stuart at the beginning of 2023 when we contacted them about a listing they had on the market Murray and Stuart were responsive, approachable, and transparent about the listing
Although this was not the right house for us, they listened carefully to what we were looking for and took charge of our property search
From that moment on, they showed us numerous properties, educated us about the NZ property market, and connected us with excellent property lawyers and other property specialists
As an international couple with three kids buying in NZ for the first time, our search criteria evolved as we saw different properties Murray and Stuart recognised this, identified our priorities, and adjusted their offerings to fit our needs
They were patient, managed our expectations (which were sometimes unrealistic), and were transparent about the best approach in negotiations with potential vendors This allowed us to develop a trusting relationship, resulting in them representing us at the auction, where we secured our new home
We enjoyed working with Murray and Stuart; they have deep knowledge and understanding of the complex and changing Auckland property market, and we highly recommend them to both buyers and vendors”

“Dear Stuart and Murray, A very sincere thank you to you both Words fail to express my awe at your resilience and attitude, adapting to whatever the situation you were faced with, whilst selling 54 Galaxy Drive Team Dow and Robertson come with the highest recommendation During an extremely difficult selling market, Stuart and Murray had a fantastic marketing strategy, great energy and enthusiasm
They knew how to maximise the exposure of the property and optimise online views This brought whopping numbers through open homes While there were several curve balls during the selling process, Stuart and Murray were solution focused, worked tirelessly to overcome obstacles
Their years of selling experience, invaluable! The end result SOLD”
Hazel Jamison
Galaxy Drive, Mairangi Bay
I just wanted to send our thanks for Stuart and Murray, who have done an exemplary job in marketing my property I fully realise that only a complete schmuck would attempt to sell a property under the current Auckland real estate environment, but I went ahead anyway, and realise that I had landed Stuart and Murray with a very difficult task They were professional and capable and pleasant, and we would not hesitate to engage them again in any future real estate deal So thanks again, and congratulations on having such capable people in your company ”

OUR TOP 6 TIPS:
Spring Clean
Do a thorough clean from the inside, out including walls, windows, skirting boards and every nook and cranny
De-clutter
Your buyer needs to imagine living in the property Ridding clutter visibly increases the room size and better showcases the space
Neutral environment
Decoration tastes are highly personal and we recommend taking a safe, neutral approach to styling
Faultless
Buyers notice everything Fix anything that doesn't work, including doors, windows, light bulbs and taps
Create atmosphere
Pay attention to the temperature and make prospectives buyers feel comfortable
Professional Staging
Well worth the investment. Staging helps present a cohesive look so buyers are able to visualise themselves living at the property
