Ken and Alison Bain

"We recently decided to restructure our farming business and sell 160 hectare block and lease the remainder of our home property out.. This has all just been completed and honestly my wife and I could not be happier.

With Brent’s involvement we have achieved what we needed out of the process and along the way have helped a young couple to purchase their first farm and two other young couples get some much-needed size and scale in their farming operations.

Brent is honest and has old school family values, he always looks at the overall picture and not what's just in front of him. He has helped and altered the lives of many young people and takes a lot of joy in watching these people succeed.

Brent will add value to any industry he is involved in and I have no hesitation in recommending him in his role as a real estate agent for PGG Wrightson."

John and Tracy Herbert

"Brent made the process of selling our farm stress-free and enjoyable. His well thought out plan made us feel looked after. We knew that we had a competent and effective agent working with us, so we felt relaxed throughout the whole campaign - we were in capable hands.  From the very beginning he laid out the strategy in an easy to understand step by step way. We were thrilled with photography, the way that the property was marketed and the overall campaign, including the end result. The process was much more enjoyable that we had anticipated.  We were impressed with his knowledge of property and he was always available for the many questions that we had. He has a huge database from his earlier career and could draw on this as well as the new buyers that he attracted.  The buyers also told us that his negotiation skill was excellent. We had every confidence in him and would highly recommend him to anyone either selling or buying property. One of best agents that we have ever encountered. Happy to talk directly to anyone considering using Brent"

Barbara and John Morgan

"Brent recently successfully sold my parents farm near Waikouaiti, East Otago.  As Trustee in my parents Trusts and also a real estate agent myself in Auckland, I found him to be exceptional at his job.  He is new to the industry, but has a natural flare for selling property. He is open, straight-forward and honest and a real pleasure to do business with.  He is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and has a great way with words, often putting even difficult conversations into easy to understand language and you feel well looked after. He has great communication and negotiation skills and overall did an outstanding job. I can recommend him without hesitation to any vendor wanting a hassle-free, effective, and well-run campaign resulting in a great result for all"

Stewart Morgan

"Brent Irving, PGG Wrightson Real Estate, recently sold our property. He was very efficient, he kept us well informed of progress made and his knowledge of the farming industry enabled him to select suitable buyers to introduce to our farm. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone intending to sell their property."
