LISA ZAWITKOSKI

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with in the sale of our home We immediately felt at ease with Lisa; she was just so easy and professional Lisa is not your typical ‘salesperson’; she really meets you as a person and builds a very authentic relationship with you. She is a quiet achiever who goes above and beyond for everyone she works with. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Claire and Carl

Lisa was friendly from the very start, full of information about the property and processes, she was quick to find out anything she didn’t already know and very approachable. Even though she was employed by the vendor we were constantly informed of any updates and she checked on our journey regularly but not annoyingly so! Always quick to return calls or messages so never had to wonder what was happening for very long which makes one of the most stressful experiences that bit more bearable!

Emma and Graham

Lisa is friendly, knowledgeable and showed great communication skills during the purchase of our dream lifestyle property We loved Lisa’s down to earth approach and the fact she didn't try to oversell, letting us lead the way Lisa made the build up to the auction stress free which we appreciated as we had never bought through auction before.

Amy and Matthew

Lisa knows the market well, and together with strong community values and a caring nature made the whole experience painless and rather enjoyable.

Jan Booysen

Lisa was a pleasure to work with, not pushy, easy going and good open communication throughout the purchasing process I would happily work with Lisa in the future.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Lisa was fantastic to work with, giving me sound advice in terms of marketing and strategy She also took great care of my tenants, making the whole process as easy as possible for them while ensuring the sale process proceeded as planned. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lisa.

Denise Anderson

Lisa met, and smashed, all our expectations! Lisa gave us the full benefit of her experience and knowledge and always pointed us in the right direction She was willing to enter the fray between me and my hubby when we disagreed on the subject at hand and provided us with clear alternatives. And always with a smile. Staging was a fabulous choice for our property. When things got confusing, Lisa was always there to remind us and help cut to the nitty gritty. She most definitely kept me sane during the whole process Financially, we come out on top - I never thought we would achieve such a great result Highly recommend

Kathy Mountain

Having Lisa on board to sell my house was a blessing Her knowledge of the market and her help with making my open home more desirable to buyers was exceptional If I were selling again in Tauranga Lisa would be the first port of call.

Cedric

Again it was great to have Lisa in our corner We asked Lisa now twice to sell a property for us, and both times it was a breeze Lisa has the special gift to connect to tenants and put them at ease Each time the process went smoothly We followed Lisa's advice on some small stuff and it paid off. We found Lisa very friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable about all aspects of selling a property. We will not hesitate to contact her again. Do yourself a favor and make Lisa your agent.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I found Lisa to be very professional in all my dealings with her Her communication was frequent, and valued, and she had a strong commitment to ensuring the property was given its best chance for a prompt and fruitful sale I would have no hesitation in recommending her for any future engagements.

Ray Watling

Lisa was great to have onboard and was determined to help me find the right property. She challenged my thinking and supported me when offers fell through. But they fell through for a reason because she found me my property and I love living over Brookfield way in my lovely home She kept me up to date with listings and knows the area well (which I didn't) so that was very helpful We still keep in touch now and I would definitely work with Lisa again when it's time to move on

Lynette Smith

Lisa has been so fantastic to deal with, both when we were buyers and vendors She is on the mark with knowing the market, and she works very hard to make sure she understands what we want Most importantly, she is genuine and very personable.

Chris and Alex Morris

I worked with Lisa Zawitkoski on the sale of my home and found the entire experience enjoyable, smooth and successful in terms of both the outcome I received and the relationship that was had. Lisa was professional in her manner and willing to provide the honesty and transparency required to have my needs and opinions understood Her recommendations regarding the best type of process to undertake in selling my house were solid and I believe, built from her firm knowledge of the residential market I would recommend Lisa to my friends and colleagues alike.

Rebecca Rowe

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Lisa Zawitkoski was recommended to us by a trusted friend to sell our home and help us find and purchase the next No small feat! Lisa was the consummate professional throughout the process Down to earth and honest We couldnt have been more pleased with the result and readily endorse her services.

Kris and Kristy Cambourn

Lisa not only sold my house in a matter of a few days and managed to get me a very good price, but also spent a lot of time finding the right house for me and my family too. She always presented to me with such warmth, professionalism and honest advice I felt totally safe in the process of selling and purchasing and my two year old daughter NINA just loved her I would call her a lovely friend now and am very grateful to have that relationship with a real estate agent where I trusted her with my family home

Claudia Carratu

Having such an enthusiastic agent who really understood what type of property I was looking for made the whole process of buying extremely simple and lots of fun I would recommend Lisa Zawitkoski to anyone looking to purchase or sell in this market. A top notch realestate agent. Thanks Lisa, from a very satisfied customer.

Elena Moorhead

From the very start Lisa's personality was engaging, forthright and she exuded honesty. The whole process for me has been a seamless, easy and wonderful experience. Not one ounce of stress. Lisa was always available when I had questions and I never had many because her explanations of the process and the information she provided was on point I was 100% supported by Lisa throughout to the final bang of the hammer and I could not recommend her more

NEGOTIATING OFFERS

Once your property hits the market, you can anticipate receiving offers from interested buyers Our team will promptly present these offers to you, providing detailed insights and guidance to help you evaluate each one effectively The negotiation phase typically follows, where we engage in discussions with potential buyers to secure the best possible terms on your behalf This process may involve multiple rounds of counteroffers and discussions until an agreement is reached.

CONTRACT PROCESS

An unconditional contract is a legally binding agreement in which all conditions have been met, and the buyer is fully committed to purchasing the property If the property is purchased at auction, the contract is automatically unconditional by the winning bid once the reserve has been met.

A conditional offer on a property means that the buyer’s commitment to purchasing the property is subject to certain conditions being met. These conditions could include the buyer securing financing, completing a satisfactory property inspection, or selling their current property Once all conditions are satisfied, the offer becomes unconditional, and the sale proceeds to the next steps

We play a vital role in facilitating the contract process, whether it involves a conditional or unconditional contract. We ensure that all deadlines are met, coordinate communication between the parties, and assist in addressing any issues that arise during the conditional period. Throughout both processes, we provide expert advice, manage paperwork and ensure a smooth transition from contract to settlement, helping both parties fulfill their obligations and move towards completing the sale

WHAT TO EXPECT

The settlement date is the day when the transfer of ownership of a property is finalized Leading up to settlement, both the buyer and the seller must fulfill their respective obligations as outlined in the sale and purchase agreement On this date, the purchaser's lawyer will ensure that the full purchase price is paid to the seller, usually through a bank transfer The seller's lawyer will then confirm the property’s title is transferred to the buyer.

On settlement day our role is to serve as a liaison between you and all other parties involved in the transaction. This includes assisting with the transfer of keys, providing guidance on the final steps, and ensuring that both parties are clear on the settlement process.
