They took on a neglected residence and did everything needed to make it presentable while I was in Australia and sold for a great price.

Bruce Robinson

Great communication, nothing was a hassle and we felt like they were actively trying to help us which was much appreciated. Both Gabe and Carly made a stressful situation a lot easier and that helped us succeed in buying our home.

Joanna Van Veen and Ormonde Rolfe

We were so grateful for the guidance given to us by Gabe and Carly and for the time and effort they gave to the marketing of our property and achieving a sale way beyond our expectations. They were a pleasure to work with, and we would be happy to recommend them to any prospective vendors.

Mary

Gabe and Carly were a professional, enthusiastic and dynamic team. They complemented each other, with Gabe being very particular to detail in the most positive sense and Carly in a very positive, reassuring and personal manner. They kept us well informed of every step in the process, and their mahi behind the scenes led us to a favourable outcome.

Brian and Jennifer Shires

Carly and Gabe are the real deal!! The ultimate duo who had made a stressful process run smoothly and had guided us every step of the way. We can't thank Carly and Gabe enough for the work they have put in and it's a no-brainer that we will be using them again in the future.

Matt & Terai Sadler

Gabe and Carly were amazing the whole way through the process of purchasing this property. It is intimidating trying to navigate buying your first home on your own, but they made it an exciting process. It felt like they really were on my team and it made such a huge difference. I appreciate the effort they put into their work!

Hazel Buchanan

These agents were easy to talk to, hard-working and would go out of their way to help me in search of my dream house/section.

Richard Hughes

Carly and Gabe have been incredible from the moment they came to do the appraisal all the way through to negotiating an offer significantly above our reserve. Throughout they’ve made us feel part of the team, motivated, responsive and always with a laugh and a smile. We could not have picked a better duo to go on our sales journey than these guys. We are genuinely grateful and now consider them friends. Thank you for making this stressful journey fun.

Ian and James Hartley Dade

Highly skilled in planning a sales & purchase agreement. Provided up-to-date feedback

Ek Nanak Trust Limited

Gabe and Carly did a fantastic job selling our home. Gabe in particular worked particularly hard helping us get the property ready for market tidying up little bits and pieces that we didn't notice and ensuring the property was perfectly presented. His eye for detail is top drawer and he communicates effectively throughout the process. If we ever sell again then this is the team we would turn to. Thanks Gabe and Carly.

Sarah Gibby & Daniel Cochrane

Very friendly and they made the whole process easy for us. I would happily work with them again.

Anon

Very professional, friendly, helpful and informative with out being pushy. We felt very comfortable with them. Trustworthy too. Liked them heaps.

Paul and Elinor Resetar

They both were very professional and provided exceptional information throughout the whole process. They also went that extra mile with all the prospective purchasers.

Barry Moore

They had prompt communication, Gabe and Carly always kept me informed during the purchase process. They are professional and have a personable approach.

Mark Sangster

We love Gabe and Carly! We felt in safe hands from start to finish. Always cheerful and professional, pushing forward and supporting us throughout the process. Also, great communication with us: so important to be able to ask them for advice and guidance.

Terence and Anita

Really impressed with the level of professionalism and communication from Gabe. We were house hunting for a few months and Gabe kept in touch when he had a property that might suit us, he was the only agent who did and we appreciated the effort he went to.

Francesca and David

Both Carly and Gabe went that 'extra mile' to help me get my house ready for the market. All communications have been upbeat, friendly, and professional, and a fair price was negotiated. BIG THANK YOU

Jennifer

They are both so kind and personable. No question is a dumb question and they both had really great advice for us as first home buyers.

Hayley and Mark

Our journey to securing our home was nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster — a drawn-out process full of twists, turns, negotiations, and even a multi-offer curveball. Throughout it all, we mostly dealt with Carly, and her support, patience, and professionalism were second to none. Ashleigh did most of the kōrero with Carly in the beginning, and we tried our best to stay emotionally detached — but when it became a multi-offer situation, it hit us hard. There were tears, stress, and that awful feeling of possibly losing a home that holds deep personal and whānau connections. This house wasn’t just real estate for us — it was about coming home to Whangārei and Otaika, about reconnecting with whenua, and in a small but significant way, reclaiming a piece of what’s ours as Māori. Carly was there every step of the way, guiding us with integrity and genuine care. When Ashleigh needed to step back from the emotional toll, I stepped in — and Carly remained steady, responsive, and understanding. Even when things went quiet and we were considering withdrawing, Gabe came in with empathy and honesty, giving us the clarity we needed. Finally, on Friday the 7th of March, after what felt like a lifetime of waiting, we received the call — an offer was on the table. One quick phone call between Ash and I later, we accepted and went unconditional on our new home. Carly is an incredible agent — trustworthy, a fantastic communicator, a skilled negotiator, and someone who truly listens. This whole process could have been much more overwhelming, but her presence made a huge difference. We can’t thank her (and Gabe) enough and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a real estate team that leads with integrity, empathy, and commitment. Ngā mihi nui, Brett & Ashleigh
