To whom it may concern

 

I would just like to thank Dale and Shirley for the absoutely fantastic service they provided whilst selling my house.

 

They often found themselves in difficult situations , but at all times remained professional and of absoutlte highest integrity. For what was a very trying and difficult time, they made the journey of the sale, a somewhat pleasant experience. I felt at the end of the day they ensured the best possible outcome in a very short space of time. .

I would highly recommend their service for anyone wanting to sell their property. They provide the highest customer service i have ever seen from a real estate agent, not just stopping at helping us sell our house but also assiting with providing market advice and also ways to sell some chattlels - they really went beyond the call of duty, the most important aspect was their trust.

 

Please recgonise them within your organisation, they really are a tribute for your brand.

 

I am always happy to give verbal references if necessary.

 

 

Regards

Melissa and I were very impressed with the effort you put into securing our new family home.  Your professionalism and perserverance shown when finding us the right property was fantastic.  Everything you presented met our criteria or had the potential we were after.  Your knowledge of the market was strong and the regular feedback and recent sales history helped us set realistic goals for where we wanted to purchase.   The contacts you have through MRE were of great benefit to us while finalising our offer and it made for a very smooth process.  At such a nervous time we had confidence that you where doing everything possible for us. You are clearly a people person and what stood out for us was the way you considered our family needs whenever options where being discussed.  Overall you have made this such an enjoyable process.  We will definatly be recommending you to all of our friends, as I'm sure many other will do so in the future.  Well done!


Kind Regards

It has been a genuine pleasure dealing with Wendy who did an exceptional job in selling our family home. She kept in regular contact, updating me on all aspects of Open Home activity  and she really went the extra mile in marketing the property. I was most impressed by her consistent communication, her friendly attitude and her determination and would have no hesitation in recommending Wendy to anyone looking to sell their home.


Yours Sincerely

Rik did a brilliant job selling our property at a premium price and followed up with an equally stellar performance helping us find a new investment.  He kept us informed every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble.   It was a pleasure dealing with Rik and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone either selling or buying a property.

Dear Tony,


Too often in today’s hectic world we only find time to complain, however when we are on the receiving end of quite outstanding service it behoves us to acknowledge it.

Janet and I first put our house on the market nearly two years ago with different Real Estate Company and in spite of funding an expensive marketing campaign we had no success. In fact we had very few potential purchasers through the house.

One year ago with a different Real Estate Company and an even bigger marketing budget, we suffered an even poorer response.

Friends told us, neighbours told us and even my golfing mates told me to go and see Graeme Tonkin at MRE Property and finally pressure told and off to Graeme we went. We couldn’t believe the difference, firstly a professional evaluation of the property, a marketing plan this time not an advertising shotgun approach and a sale with a back up agreement one week into the campaign. Having been through the mill with the other Companies the difference that MRE delivers is really quite outstanding.

Graeme kept us in the picture all the way through the process; he was very approachable, knows his patch extremely well and kept the marketing moving along. He was able to skilfully utilise his colleagues from MRE as required.

Tony, Graeme is a star and you have a great team supporting him, a big ‘thank you’ from Janet and I. Please feel free to use this letter in any way that assists your company.

Yours Sincerely,

 

Ron & Janet Cave

Through close on 20 years, I have associated with Brent Piper through business and dealing in Real Estate. Brent has always been a person of highest principle and integrity; someone who can be trusted and relied upon to follow through on any undertaking. Brent is positive in his approach yet appreciates and is considerate of the other person’s point of view. Graham Sussex We used Brent''s services to sell our property in Castor Bay on the North Shore. We were particularly impressed by Brent''s level of service and the fact that he kept us continuously informed during the marketing and sale process. We were very happy with the price we achieved on the property and will be using Brent again for any future sale proposals. Peter and Lynley Elder Brent is a compassionate, committed and ethical professional. At all times he advised my mother fully and clearly so that she was at ease in unfamiliar surroundings. Personally I have never in my 14 transactions over houses, felt that an agent was working so clearly and in my interests. Kaaren Goodall

“Working with John and the team at MRE made the sale of our property a

simple,

quick and stress free process, John provided us with a clear and detailed

marketing plan that proved to be very successful, and combined with his

negotiation skills and honest friendly approach he sold our house within two

weeks of listing, John was committed to achieving the best possible result on

our behalf. John’s communication was exceptional. He gave us regular progress

reports through out the whole selling process.

We would have no hesitation in using John’s service any future real estate

dealings. We would recommend him to family, friends and any other prospective

clients with the upmost confidence.”

"We were extremely pleased with the service & outcome when we purchased our property through MRE Real Estate. John’s professional attitude & competence were greatly appreciated. John was personally attentive and informative, particular as we are new to purchasing real estate in New Zealand. John is extremely helpful and went out of his way to provide us with further information regarding the property we purchased. The entire process ran smoothly and efficiently which we believe was assisted with John’s organisational skills. We would have no hesitation in recommending John for buying or selling your property, the service he provided to us was excellent.

To whom it may concern,


We recently selected Milford Real Estate to market and sell our residence at Rothesay Bay North Shore City.


John Cann was our dedicated representative from MRE and we received from him and the MRE executives a very high standard of professional advice during the selling process.


During the period our house was on the market we received constant updates on the enquiries and Open Home interest.


The campaign provided by John and MRE has been successful and we are grateful to him for his super efforts.


Kind regards

Testimonial for John Cann, 15/04/2010

Our house had been on the market for 9 months without an offer. We had already bought another property so the situation was desperate - bankruptcy, divorce or suicide were the likely options! On the recommendation of friends and neighbours, all of whom spoke very highly of MRE, we called in Dale and Shirley. Within 48 hours we had a signed offer and agreement and within another 48 hours we had a back up offer as well. And not at a giveaway price either. But it didn''t stop there. Dale and Shirley follow up and make sure everything runs smoothly and do any necessary liaison between agreement and going unconditional. During that very frustrating 9 months, we often wondered what made the difference between a very successful agent and a less successful one. I think the answer "energy" which Dale and Shirley demonstrated in abundance together with their enthusiasm. The sale agreement was not achieved by sitting back and waiting for things to happen. Best regards David and Pennie, Chatswood, Birkenhead “Between us, my wife and I have bought and sold 7 houses and must have come in contact with 50 or more real estate sales people. The service I experienced with Dale and Shirley was measurably superior to that offered by any other real estate agent in my experience” “We know the real estate agents in the local area very well, I make my judgement based on open homes that I attended as a purchaser, and without a doubt Dale is 100% working for the vendor” “Dale and Shirley have always been upfront and honest, they run professional marketing campaigns and handled the sales process very professionally. I never felt pressured into selling and I was confident that they were trying to get the best price they could from the purchaser - I know this as I have purchased from them as well”

SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD! It’s time to celebrate with a bottle of wine. Earlier this year we listed our property with Graeme Tonkin from MRE Property in Milford, Auckland. We made this decision based on the fact that previously we had purchased a property through Graeme and found him to be a very professional, forthright, open and honest gentlemen. The purchaser saw the advertisement on the internet and since he lives overseas arranged for a family member to attend one of the open homes. Graeme made many phone calls on our behalf and in fact the call that sealed the deal was made using Graeme’s cell phone in our living room, in order for us to work out the final negotiations as a team. We sincerely recommend Milford Rest Estate to anyone wanting to sell a property especially in the current turbulent market.

I have no hesitation in recommending Graeme and his team to anyone considering the sale or purchase of a property. Graeme was instrumental in us purchasing a property we thought we had lost and for that we cannot thank him enough. He also managed the sale of our existing property (which in the current state of the market had us praying), and through out the process Graeme stayed in close contact and gave good advise and information where it mattered without being over bearing. In the end the sale was painless, we achieved what we wanted within the desired timeframe and ultimately we were very satisfied with the outcome and the process followed. Thanks again to Graeme and all at MRE Property.

Graeme was informative in every aspect. He continually kept us in the loop and we found him professional and easy to deal with, having had a bad experience with another company prior to listing with Graeme. We would and have already recommended him to people we know. Also we were impressed with the professionalism of the company and the people working there.
