Testimonials for the DOUBLE AGENT

"As a vendor, I wish to thank you all for the professional manner in which you conducted yourselves in helping me to sell my property.  I appreciated your support and was very happy with the way you kept me informed at all times, hence I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others who are going to embark on selling their property.  A big thank you also for the basket of goodies and book voucher."  Sue Harris

"Thank you for the success of selling my property.  I was impressed with your expertise in your marketing programme.  Many Thanks.  Jean Boyce

"I would just like to congratulate you on your very outstanding work ethics with regards to the purchasing a house that you sold to me.  You worked very hard for the sellers and I know you tried to get a lot more for them as a purchase price.  I as the purchaser though knew my own financial circumstances and stayed within them.  The sale went through very well, then you took time out though and sent me some lovely moving of house new address memos for posting.  I also had pamphlets with excellent advice in them for shifting.  The next on the list was the choice of a monthly book to read "North & South" and it arrived.  Thank you for your warmth and friendliness over the buying and selling, at all times your generosity and the keeping in touch without being invasive.  Good luck with the Real Estate arena and I know if you stay the way you are you will be very popular and therefore great sellers.  Laura Nicholas

"Harcourts Double Agent Belinda Clark recently sold my house.  Belinda achieved a successful sale in a changing market.  Belinda was excellent to work with and took the stress out of what can be a stressful time.  I would most certainly employ Belinda again in the event of selling my property." J.G Holland

Testimonials for BEN WORTHINGTON

"Ben Worthington became my real estate agent after I also met with a number of other agents when deciding to sell my home in Lepperton. Why Ben? Quite apart from his obvious looks, charm and youthful glow he made some very perceptive observations when viewing my home for the first time. He simply appeared to notice things that the other agents hadn’t and also proposed a marketing strategy that no one else had. He listened and was cheerful and optimistic. He got the listing.  Ben then set about quickly implementing his strategy of selling the property. It was listed within hours, open home dates were set and he did everything he said he would do.  Ben’s feedback throughout the selling process was excellent and all decisions were discussed in detail with me prior to any action on his part.   Within four weeks I had two offers to consider – one of which was well over my expected sale price. Within six weeks the house was sold. The process was simple, effective and stress-free.  I recommend Ben to any prospective vendor. He is pro-active, dedicated and funny – in the hah hah sense. He also likes home baking so you just need to prepare for that. Give him a whirl!"Rachel Stewart (Happy Harcourts Bell Block customer)

Testimonials for JANICE WAITERE-CROSS

"Just a note to say how much I appreciate your handling of the sale of my property. You recognised the unique aspects of the house and marketed it with a focus on those qualities which I am sure gained a sale price that I was very happy with. You also went out of your way to keep in touch constantly and work all hours to accommodate potential buyers requirements. This is reflected in the short timeframe it took to sell. It was also refreshing to work with an Agent who is totally honest and upfront. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to any colleagues, friends or family who are thinking of marketing a property." Ann-Marie Pollard

"We met Janice at a Harcourts open home when we were in the market for a rental property.  She went on to show us houses that she thought would be appropriate.  We found her very helpful and when we were successful with a purchase she has been great with following everything up.  It has been the easiest and least stressful property purchase that we have ever done.  We would recommend her to anyone.  Thanks Janice" Tara & Andrew Alexander

"Our experience with Janice was superb.  With us as first time home buyers she was very detailed and patient with explanations of procedures and kept us up to date by phone and e-mail.  She understands the buyer and works diligently.  She is very professional and helpful and we would highly recommend Janice to others.  No improvements needed!!!" Jaco and Chantel Wood

"Janice-Waitere Cross was the realtor that we used to purchase our property. In the time we were looking for a property, Janice was extremely helpful, making herself available at all hours. She gave us as many properties as she could find to look at that were within our price range and what we were looking for. Janice is a very friendly and down to earth person who made the process easy and understandable and explained the "ins and outs" of real estate. At no time did she put any pressure on us to make an offer on a property. We would defenitely recommend Janice to anyone who is considering purchasing property as she has made ours an enjoyable experience.  Melissa Bryan and Adam Reed

Through our dealings with Janice Waitere-Cross we found her to be friendly, easy going, patient and professional at all times. Janice made herself readily available and ensured any questions or problems were dealt with by going out of her way if need be, leading to no hassles for ourselves. Janice's personality, honesty and sensible advice meant she became a favourite of ours to deal with. She quickly and efficiently came to terms with what we were looking for in a first family home allowing her to immediately act in our favour when a suitable house came on to the market. We proceeded to sight the house and sign up for it in one day of it being on the market. We would highly recommend Janice as a sales agent and should the situation arise in the future to look for a new house, we will be contacting her to help us. We wish Janice all the best for her future in Real Estate. Lisa and Carl Behrent

Janice was most helpful with the purchase of my new property, I would recommend her especially to my friendsand people I know who are thinking of selling or purchasing. I found her very friendly, easy to get on with. Doreen Rowe

On behalf of Sophie, Georgia and of course myself, I would like to thank you both for the awesome teamwork by yourselves in the purchasing of 49a Doralto Road.  It hasn’t been an easy time for me and you helped me through this and have both been on hand to answer any questions. The service provided has been a very personal and professional one and I would gladly pass on my recommendations to anyone seeking a Real Estate Company to use. I could not fault anything. I am so looking forward to beginning my new life in my lovely new home sold to me by Harcourts. Sharon Lilley

I am writing to convey my satisfaction with Janice Adlam-Waitere as a real estate agent. Initially we were put onto Janice as our previous agent moved onto another role. Janice was enthusiastic and gave us a very thorough appraisal. Throughout the whole selling process, Janice remained confident about selling our house at the price she had given us, even though she faced pressure from some to drop the pricing range. The price she achieved exceeded our expectations, and I attribute this to her keen attitude. Janice also assisted us with purchasing our new property. We sat down and told her what we wanted and what our needs were for our new property. She took all this into account and worked hard to find the right house for us. During the negotiation process, Janice spent a lot of time trying to get the best deal she could for us. We are grateful to Janice for everything she has done for us and we are both glad we chose to list with her and consider her not only to be our real estate agent, but our friend. We would most definitely recommend Janice to anyone considering selling or buying property. Brian and Kirsty Montgomery

We bought our first home from Janice and from the moment we met Janice we felt at ease. Janice has always been very honest, cheerful and easy to approach. Janice never minded when when we called many times with questions. She really helped us through the whole process from start to finish and felt like a friend rather than a real estate agent. We really enjoyed our experience of buying our home; this is largely because of Janice. We will definitely use Janice and Harcourts again in the future as we have had such a wonderful experience. Ryan and Jennifer Tooley

Janice has been a fantastic agent to work with, a very lovely manner, extremely accommodating and willing to the hard yards to sell a property.  She has been a success story for our family and we are sure it will be the same for anyone that engages her as their agent. You have been a pleasure to work with Janice, thanks very much. The Reddy Family

We don't live locally and Janice was great at keeping in touch with us and keeping us informed with progress.  This is the second home we have dealt with Janice and we would recomend her to anyone.  Thanks Janice!! Andrew and Tara Alexander

The amount of energy Janice put into the sale and marketing of our house was excellent and she definately went the extra mile for us.  I feel especially overwelmed by the gift.  Thanks so much Janice. Phil Schroder

I have worked with a great deal of Sales Consultants over the last 10 years and have never had such good service as the last 12 months with Janice working on the Richmond Rd house.  She never once lost the drive to sell what I would consider one of the hardest in New Plymouth to sell.  She kept me up with the play all the way.  Thank you Janice I knew you would sell the house. Mary Jones

Janice was organised, had information of property and was "Action," no mucking around. Nothing was a problem and very thorough. The speed at which our house was bought took away the stress we could have had. Maxine Turner & Chris Sparks

Wonderful Personality, Wonderful, The Best.  Janice kept me informed all the way to the day the house sold.  I am pleased I picked Harcourts to sell our property and I would recommend Janice to everyone.  Many Thanks. Patrick Radich

Thanks very much Janice for an uncomlicated sales, you did a great job for me, I hope to do business again.  Rhys Jones

Janice's warm and friendly manner was most welcoming and she was interested in my needs.  I found Janice to be exceptionally helpful in every aspect, by keeping in touch with all the day to day happenings with the purchase of my new home.  I would highly recommend Janice to anyone wanting real estate. Janice covered everything and more.  Pat Eynon

My partner and I recently purchased a property with Janice Waitere-Cross and I thought I would take the time to write you an email and let you know how pleased Jason and I were with the service Janice provided.  Being a young couple we found other Real Estate Agents (not Harcourts) did not have time to house us through house and point out all the good points of a house.  In short they did not have time for us. Jason and I had been looking at houses since November last year and we stumbled across 34 Lawry Street. Janice approached us with a warm and friendly manner.  From that point on she had us soldnot just on the house but on her and how we could trust in her.  Nothing seemed to be a problem for Janice whether it was for me to show my family around our new home or for me to measure the lounge, Janice would be there waiting at the house to let us in.  An experience that started our daunting, turned out to be a great experience.  Jason and I will be recommending Janice to anyone that we hear of that may be wanting to purchase or sell a house.  Amy Ranford

Testimonials for ROBYN PRENTICE

This is a letter of appreciation for Robyn Prentice on the great job she did selling our home.  From the moment we listed with Robyn, she showed enthusiam and excitement.  It was obvious right from the start that Robyn and the rest of the Harcourts Team had the best resourses to sell our home, evident by the fact that at least a dozen of the harcourts agents each gave an appraisal of the homes value, what a huge amount of combined experience.  Robyn's marketing proposal was top notch and the open homes she arranged were most beneficial to the selling of our home. in fact we only needed the one as we sold within a week of putting the house on the market.  And most inportantly we got an even better proce that we would ahve settled for. Thanks Robyn you are the BEST! Best wishes The Hazelwood Family

We will be sure to tell others of our experience with Robyn".  Glen West & Tetsu Garnett

This is a letter of appreciation on the great job you did selling our home.  We found you easy to talk to, you listened and gave us good advice on the different options available.  You were able to explain any concerns we had, which set our minds at ease.  Auction was what we went for and it was great, all over in 3 weeks!  We thought Roland did a fantastic job at the Auction and got the best possible price on the night for us.  You were happy to and enthusiastic about selling our house and kept our spirits up with positive feedback.  You worked hard to promote and advertise the house for example dropping flyers in mailboxes.  Even on wet, windy days! You were only a phone call away if we had any questions and you kept in contact with us constantly, informing us on progress, so we knew what was happening all the time.  Having the Harcourts Team all involved with promoting our home was a big advantage in selling it on Auction night.  We found the whole experience relatively stress free and have no hesitation in recommending Robyn to our family and friends when selling or buying a house.  Terry & Jo Palmer

"Due to a transfer for career advancement we had to leave our home of 14 years in Taranaki at short notice. Although excited about the career move we were sad to sell our family home and were not familiar with the real estate sale process. Robyn was able to provide us all the information we needed and achieved a sale in a slowing market within three months. Despite being out of Taranaki, we were regularly kept up to date by Robyn with progress on the marketing. Robyn was able to liaise with our Taranaki friends and neighbours so that the property was maintained and well presented at all times, despite being vacant. Robyn’s professional approach and positive attitude were greatly appreciated". Andrew & Susan Hainsworth

When it was time to market our home we called several Real Estate agents but Robyn was the one we felt most comfortable with. We found her terrific, always in touch and she just got on with the job. We received very good advice, she was not pretentious and we would be extremely happy to deal with Robyn in the future". Nellie & David Hewson

"We went to an Open Home that Robyn was hosting and were impressed. The fact that she approached us and asked us our names etc, which was something we had not been asked at previous open homes that we had been to visit.

"We found Robyn extremely helpful and felt her communication skills superb. She kept us informed all the way regarding the deal.

Robyn sold my home on Sequioa Grove and has kept in touch with me over the years, so I chose her again when I came to sell my next home on Richmond St, Fitzroy, the sale was achieved in a couple of weeks.  Robyn was friendly, capable and very professional in her work, nothing could have been done better, I received very good service.  Claire Stewart

Many years ago, I can't recall exactly when, you came to our door and asked if we had considered selling our home.  The answer at that time was a definite no but we agreed to you having a look through and giving us an assessment of value.  Since then we have recieved your calendar every year and news letters from time to time about real estate matters.  You called again on another occasion and told us that you had a client who wanted a house with trees and you felt our house would meet that desire.  Again, not at that time.  When the time came for us to sell our house with a view of securing a villa in a retirement village we decided that your attitude was what we required in an agent to sell our house.  We were nervous when you quoted a very wide negotiating range but having stated our rock bottom selling price, which you accepted, you launched and conducted the process of sale from advertising, visits by prospective buyers and two open homes all conducted in a very professional manner.  The end result has been very satisfactory for which, our many thanks.  Norman & Mary Chalk

Robyn was incredibly patient waiting for issues to be solved on the property I was hoping to buy.  Both Robyn & Lisa's professionalism & friendliness made selling my house so much easier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.  Thanks a million. Wendy Bailey

"I would like to thank Meika for selling the unit at 289d Carrington Street. Her caring and personal approach exceeded all of my expectations. Her energy and interest she put into the selling of the unit was amazing. As this was an estate sale, I want to also thank her for the understanding and caring of how hard it was for me to sell. A great job professionaly achieved. I wish Meika all the best for the future. Marlene Godfrey

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Meika Perry. A lady who doesn't stop smiling. Meika arrived at my place early to get the feel for the house, the couple which Meika showed through my house definitely had the right person. Meika explained everything to them and myself, with complete professionalism. Meika has this amazing personality, caring and down to earth style which automatically puts you at ease when talking with her. Meika explained to the potential buyers the whole procedure about buying. Meika has excellent communication and customer skills and such a go getter attitude. This lady is such a pleasure to deal with. Anybody wanting an efficient and hard working, down to earth real estate person, you wont go wrong with this Lady, and she gives the best hugs.

Dear Meika, I wanted to write to you to thank you for all you did to facilitate the sale of our house. I noticed that you have been awarded the 1st in sales for the month of May. Well-done and well deserved. I am proud to be one of the sales in May that earnt you this award.I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know who is selling their house. You are such a real person. You have the charm of a princess and the patience of a Nun. You are ruthless with standards and gracious with people. You are kind and interested in what people are saying. You are a hard worker and a go getter with the words “Can’t” very distant in your vocabulary. You make friends out of clients yet still remain ‘Mum’ to your Whanau when they need you. When we asked you to become our agent we only saw a flicker of these wonderful characteristics but I knew that that flicker was the beginnings of a spark that started the flame that drew us closer to the explosion of energy and light and colour and vibrance that is Meika Perry.

Testimonials for VANESSA HEDLEY

My family and I had recently moved back to New Plymouth a few months ago after having living and working in Auckland for 11 years.  We sold our house in Auckland and were house hunting for a new home.  We looked at many houses with agents form every Real Estate Agency in New Plymouth and then we met Vanessa from Harcourts.  We discussed with Vanessa what we were looking for and the area in which we were looking and she found the perfect home for us so quickly.  Vanessa was very easy to deal with, relaxed and very professional: she made the whole process so easy and stress free.  I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone thinking of either buying or selling property in New Plymouth.  Thanks again Vanessa, we are very happy in our new home.  Jo, Damian and Family

Thank for all your hard work and it was a pleasure giving you my land to market. I'm happy with the sale price.  So truely thankyou.  Gary Worthington

We all would like to say thank you for looking after us so well.  Your patience, understanding and care was so much appreciated. We are ever so sorry that we were unable to follow through with a sale with you, but if anytime we have the need, you will certainly be the one and only we will call.  Thanks again.  Jean, Gwen, Glen & Noel

I have recently purchased a property at 50 Drake St and my outstanding Real Estate Agent was Vanessa Hedley.  I found her friendly, she kept me up to date with the pre purchase of this property.  I certainly will be recommending her to my friends as the agent to sell - with no pressure.  Stefan Topless

 

Testimonials for DENNIS INGRAM

We found Dennis to be very obliging and honest, keeping us well informed with the progress. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to other prospective buyers. Merv & Annette Bain

I am writing to say, how pleased i am with the way Dennis Ingram conducted the sale of my house at 9a Blenheim Place. He was very sympathetic to my having to sell and gave me encouragement & confidence the entire time. I thank him very much. L Chew

Our Residential property at 53 Queens Rd, Gen Avon, New Plymouth was recently sold.  To achieve this we engaged the services of Dennis Ingram who is employed as a real estate Agent for Taranaki Harcourts.  Throughout the sale process Dennis acted in a professional manner and in our best interests.  He was able to be contacted at all times or a message left, made appointments to suit all concerned, kept us informed of the process all along the way and gave us relevant information so we could make informed decisions. There was no pressure or expectation put on us and Dennis supported us in our decision making based in his knowledge.  The outcome of the sale, we believe, was in our best interests and we were pleased with the service offered. Ann Logan & Graeme Wetton

About half a year ago, we went to an openhome on Mill Rd.  The property was not what we wanted. However, the agent we met there asked us in detail what we were looking for and made notes of our requirements.  That agent was Dennis Ingram from Taranaki Harcourts and he promised to look for a property for us.  We soon forgot him as most of the time we got used to receiving phone calls form some agent who jsut tried to show any properties coming to the market to us.  When he learned a house in Welbourn would be put on the market, Dennis phone us immediately as he knew this property would meet the majority of our requirements.  Through him we were able to inspect the property before its first open home.  One month later, we moved into this property, which became the first house owned by us. The process of purchasing the house was very smooth, efficient and hassle-free.  This pleasant experience was largely due to Dennis's help and professional knowledge.  He was very helpful in that he tried to meet all our needs from answering our quiestions, spending time to show us the property more than once to liaising with the agent of the Vendor.  He always tried to his best to do what he was requested.  he also offered us good suggestions from his professional knowledge and experience.  From our experience of dealing with Dennis, we are happy to say he is an honest, kind, helpful, and professional agent with whom you can trust.  he won't make you feel cheated or under pressure to buy something you don't really like.  What impressed us most is he only informed us of those properties which truely met most of our requirements saving us a lot of time.  We are really appreciative of his assistance and are very happy to recommend Dennis to any prospective Vendors or Purchasers.  G Du & J Chen

We have had the pleasure of having Dennis as an agent both as a property purchaser and seller.  After some experiences with agents that left us somewhat disillusioned with the real estate market, Dennis provided us with a level of service that was very professional.  In relation to purchasing our property Dennis was careful to listen to our requirements and was constantly providing us with information on the market situation.  The arranging of on-site viewings and doumentation was carried out promptly and any queries we had were answered within a quick period.  In the not so pleasant situation of having to sell a deceased estate, Dennis showed us the utmost respect in his approach to selling our parents home.  He liaised well with our solicitor on estate matters to ensure documentation was accurate and we felt well supported and informed throughout the process.  He worked diligently on the marketing of the property, which we believe lead to a prompt sale of the property.  On both occasions Dennis went out of his way to fit with our busy schedules and somewhat difficult timeframes for meetings and discussions, most of which had to occur outside normal business hours.  We found him to be very knowledgeable about both the real estate market and the properties that he was marketing.  Jacqui & Brent Manning

Just wanted to thank you very much for all your great work recently. Dealing with you through Harcourts was very easy, made so, through your skills at organising all the house visits and giving us plenty of time to view it.  What made this sale particularly good is the is the fact that you had some good informed advice on how to maximise the potential.  There were one or two tricky issues that you helped minimise and all has turned out wonderfully.  The biggest thing that gave my wife and I the confidence to go ahead with the sale, was your honesty. All of the details you gave me were all correct and overall, as a first home buyer, I fully recommend your services, and will be sure to list with you when we resell.  Blair & Justyna Staddon

We have been evaluating various properties for the past couple of weeks.  We met Dennis by chance on a Sunday open home.  We were pleased by the outcome.  Dennis's friendly approach and followup led us to 203 Mangorei Road.  Dennis was quite candid in providing details on property.  His professionalism clearly stands out.  In our opinion, he is among the finest Taranaki Real Estate Agents.  Manish Kumar

Buying your first home is a daunting experience—dealing with real estate agents, lawyers, banks etc and for us it was no exception.  Dennis was the agent that recently sold us our first home and due to the help and advise that Dennis provided us, we found the whole experience a lot easier than expected.  Never at any stage did we feel pressured into buying and especially when it came to the negotiation stage.  Dennis was always helpful, professional and a pleasure to deal with and wouldn’t hesitate in dealing with him again.  Thanks again Dennis.

Testimonials for BRAD LETICA

I just wanted to write to you to thank you for the wonderful job you did when we purchase our property in Fitzroy recently.  We had been cash buyers looking for a property in Fitzroy for the last year and had made ourselves known to a lot of agents at each real estate firm in New Plymouth.  We were becoming very tired of Real Estate agents doing the "hard sell" to us on properties.  When we rang you up as the listing agent we immediately were on the defense as we thought we were in for another "hard sell" but instead we were very surpirsed with the wonderful service you provided.  You didn't mess around with the price you thought the property was worth and this was very refreshing and you gave us good researched reasons of why the property was worth that price.  This actually made us feel more comfortable about putting in our top dollar offer rather than putting in a bargain price and losing the property as we have done in the past.  Once we had viewed the property you made yourself available to us at anytime to call with a revisit or any questions but you didn't pester us or put the pressure on.   When we signed up you carefully went over the Purchase Agreement making sure we were comfortable with every aspect and explained anything we asked.  Every part of the sale was done in a very professional manner.  I would be happy to recommend you as a Real Estate agent to anyone - you have such drive and energy and enthusiasm for the job.  If we hear of anyone looking for a Real Estate agent we will let them know about you.  We can't wait to move into our new home.  Thanks so much.  Sarah & Roland Devine
