Direct, professional, articulate, supportive, savvy and incredibly friendly – this is how we would describe Donna while she was selling our home. From the moment we met her, we had complete confidence in Donna achieving the best commercial outcome for our sale, and our greatest dreams were surpassed on auction day. We highly recommend Donna and the team at Bayleys Queenstown, and we thank them for making the process of selling our family home an absolute pleasure.
I couldn't speak more highly of Donna, Stacy and the rest of the Bayleys team. From start to finish I really felt like they cared and wanted the best result possible - this backed up with unbelievable communication. I'm really happy with the result that was delivered and hope to use Bayleys again in the near future.
Amazing service, felt like we were in safe hands, especially buying our first home, quick responses to emails and made us feel really relaxed on auction day!
Selling our house with Donna was a stress free process with great quick results.
Donna was transparent, responsive and also empathetic to our buying situation given it was our first time buying, and added complexity was us buying from outside of NZ her local context was helpful.
Donna is professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient. She made the entire selling experience seamless. Three words to describe Donna: genuine, proactive, dependable.
Thank you, Donna, for assisting us in buying our first home in Queenstown! Your professional knowledge and assistance made the seemingly stressful auction process so much more transparent and easier for us! I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to sell or buy in Queenstown to get in touch with you!
My thoughts on Donna Hewitt from our very first phone call conversation. I knew Donna would be the one that I would like to be dealing with in selling our Queenstown apartment. She came across very kind and caring and very helpful and so friendly, nothing seemed to be a problem. I told her that we would be fussy with our price, and she totally understood and pretty much got the price that we asked for. She’s a fantastic salesperson and I was happy to put my trust in her.
Donna is a friendly, professional agent with integrity who worked tirelessly for us. She was very responsive to potential purchaser interest and kept us fully informed throughout the campaign. Donna's appraisal was not exaggerated and reflected market conditions. We were delighted to conclude the sale above our expectations within a short space of time. We would definitely buy or sell through Donna and have no hesitation in recommending her.
Donna sold two houses on our behalf and achieved a great result including multiple offers and an immediate result in both sales. She was professional and went the extra mile to ensure the sales were successful.
I am delighted to say that you are a truly professional and competent agent, your efficiency and stamina led to results I didn't think would be achievable in the first place and such short timeframe. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to work with you again in the future. I wish you and your family all the best.
So thrilled with how it all came together every step of the way. A huge thank you again for being such an amazing champion/stylist/advocate/advisor for us on this journey! We are so grateful to have had you by our side.
Working with Donna was an absolute pleasure. Her bubbly cheerful personality was a refreshing change. Also, her professionalism, dedication, and expertise made the entire home buying process smooth and stress free. We had been searching for a home for many months and Donna continued to listen attentively to our needs and preferences, ultimately finding us the perfect home. We're grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Thanks for your effort in selling our house. Your friendly way is appreciated. You've communicated accurately and in a timely manner and resolved issues as they were presented to you, resulting in a smooth and stress-free sale for us with the added complication of us not living in Queenstown. Your advice has been honest and useful in helping us through to getting a good result. Best wishes for your future and keep up the good work.
Donna has done a fantastic job, she is very professional and efficient, never pushy, and she knows the market well. She is confident in advising and guiding you according to your situation and goals. I gave her my house trusting her to do a good job of it and she delivered above expectation in minimum time. Congratulations, Donna.
Amazing service from Stacy and his team, especially Donna Harris, she has been amazing throughout the whole sale process. From when she first appraised our house to when we listed it a year later
We had nervous and stressful moments when we decided to sell our first home. Thank you so much for helping us work through the whole process including marketing strategies, contract, and the auction. You are always QUICK in replying to our questions and we felt so informed of every step in the selling process. I was amazed by the update emails you sent out late at night. Together with the marketing campaign, your efforts, and strategies are key to the fantastic result as you are the expert on this market. I would highly recommend your service to all my friends for your expertise and passion!
