Agent! Agent! Agent! In real estate, everyone knows that one of the most critical aspects of buying and selling property is the maxim “Location! Location! Location”. But when we came to sell our place in Palm Beach earlier this year, we recognised that while location was certainly important, that aspect could not be changed. What we really needed was an excellent “Agent! Agent! Agent!” Someone who knew the market, who the potential buyers could be, and how they could be helped to see the potential of our property. What we needed was someone who would work for us and with us, and would be straight with us, even if the market trend was against us. Jacob Heatley-Adams was certainly that agent! He gave good advice on how to best present and market our property to maximise its appeal to potential buyers, achieving the objective of getting multiple bidders into the auction room to achieve a successful sale. Throughout the process of preparing for sale and co-ordinating open homes and personal viewings, he always consulted with us in a timely way, kept us informed, and communicated with us openly and honestly. We valued his personable approach, his professionalism and the way he acted as our partner to gain the best possible outcome. If you are looking for a great agent to help you sell your Waiheke property, look no further! We have no hesitation in highly recommending Jacob to be the agent upon whom you can rely to get the best result!

Jacob Heatley-Adams is a superstar guy in real estate on Waiheke. He is incredibly personable and very knowledgeable, as well as supportive. He helped me navigate the somewhat challenging at times, sale of my property remotely, as I had already left Waiheke prior to selling. He consistently went out of his way to assist me, even advising me on properties I was looking at off island. I would recommend using Jacob in a heartbeat if you’re interested in selling or buying a property on Waiheke. He really is the genuine article!
