Testimonials

"Jeff impressed us with his attention to detail about the current market, providing regular, up-to-date and relevant information. He found the interested buyers for us, and followed up on his "people management" with them carefully and discreetly. At no time did we feel pressured to accept the early offers; the time we had to consider these was helpful.Jeff's open, approachable and relaxed manner was reassuring as we faced leaving a valued home and accompanying land. He understood our circumstances and we trusted he would keep that information confidential.His own photographs for the early marketing were excellent, and he carefully and knowledgeably selected the ensuing video and professional backup resource.We appreciated Jeff's practical and generous help as we approached the change of ownership and final move."

G & S Watson

"Jeff did a great job of making our property purchase happen, great agent would recommend to anyone!"

Michael & Michelle

"Originally, we had our property on the market with another agency, not a lot was happening, a friend suggested that we contact Jeff. From the outgo Jeff came across as very knowledgeable and helpful. Selling commercial property is not always straight forward. Jeff was up front on a couple of issues that needed addressing and as such arranged for meeting with the council and basically got the job sorted. Within a month or so a deal was negotiated that all parties were happy with. Would not hesitate to use Jeff again if the need arises."

P & C Whitbread

"Jeff was a very good agent to work with on the sale of my Tavern in a time when selling pubs was very difficult!"

B Carter

"Jeff was awesome to deal with! He dealt with the Council on our behalf, without his help the deal would not have progressed. With his life experience he was able to see the options that were available. Highly recommended!"

W Morgans

"Jeff was amazing at keeping us informed about everything!"

B & E Pain

"We found Jeff honest, reliable and really pleasant to work with. Communication was really good and Jeff was very helpful."

W & M Breach

"He was great, very provisional. Let us know what was happening and when."

Bill & Eleanor

"Surviving the sale and purchase process. Selling and buying can be a huge decision and a very stressful time. Jeff was always professional and compassionate. Keeping us up to date with all aspects of the process and written reports on all viewings and feedback. We have and continue to recommend Jeff as a professional agent to family and friends."

B & M Hooper

"Jeff came to assess our property and understood our requirements and expectations very clearly. We felt very comfortable from his approach and understanding. He explained to us his strategy of how to list the property on the market in the current market. After listing the property he gave us few ideas like staging the property. We had lot of people through in open homes and Jeff always gave us updates after every open home. He has taken extra care of our property during open homes and in between as we have moved out of Ashburton. That extra effort from Jeff was quite touching and extraordinary, we are quite sure no other agent would have gone to that length. He helped us through negotiations and gave us the best possible price as possible in that tough market while being fair with the buyers also. We would highly recommend Jeff over anyone and would definitely work with him in the future. Thank you jeff for a very pleasant and satisfying experience overall."

Amit & Gauri

Robynne & John
