We asked Celia and Dave McKenzie to sell our property, and can honestly say, we couldn’t have been happier. They were knowledgeable about the market and where it was heading and they gave us sound advice on which improvements would add valve to potential buyers. We were very happy with the process, their communication and the price they were able to get us. We would not hesitate to recommend them. They go the extra mile!

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into selling our property in New Brighton. The speed in which the property details were prepared and then marketed was mind blowing. We needed ours on the market quickly to complete a purchase and from taking the photos to having our first offer presented was a very short 4 days. We can not thank you enough for making the whole process very simple, keeping us informed and achieving a price for our property we were very happy with.
