As far as real estate agents go, Ian is as straight forward as they come, a no nonsense operator that provides all the property information you'll need in person and through email. Terrific to talk to in general and when it came to submitting an offer on a property made it as simple as possible. If you are looking to buy or sell we couldn't recommend Ian and his team enough!

Ian Buchanan was a bloody legend when I was on the hunt for a new place. He was top-notch in everything he did, he was meticulous in his research and analysis, and paid attention to detail in every step. He was spot-on with his homework and advice, and always gave me straight-up and useful feedback. He was onto it with the details and made sure everything was done right and on time. He was also easy as to talk to and get hold of. I reckon Ian Buchanan is the best choice for anyone who needs a solid and trustworthy real estate agent.

Ian was absolutely fantastic to work with. Since we were based out of town, attending set open home times wasn't possible-but Ian went out of his way to arrange a private viewing that suited our schedule. The property is in a fairly remote spot, so we really appreciated the time and effort he put into making that happen. His flexibility, along with his knowledge of the home and area, played a big part in our decision. Now that we're all settled in, we couldn't be happier-we're so grateful we found this special place!

I recently purchased a property through Ian and found the process to be well-managed and straightforward. He was responsive, clear in their communication, and easy to deal with throughout. The process was very straight forward and easy. 5-star recommendation

Quick Efficient Pleasent always on hand when required.

Found Ian easy to deal with and he is all for helping customer.

Ian has worked hard in a difficult market to bring offers to the table. His determined follow up with purchasers has resulted in our sale. I would recommend Ian's pragmatic and persistent approach to any seller or buyer.

It was too easy dealing with Ian, he was very honest and his communication was always very prompt. Very straight forward and easy purchase. Would definitely deal with Ian again. Cheers

Professional & Easy to work with, nice work Bayleys

Thanks so much Ian for your patience and vigilance with the sale of our property. You hung in there when most others would have walked away. Have already recommended you to several in our area and will continue to do so. Always a big smile and positive attitude from you. Can't thank you enough as we head into our next stage in life.

We had the pleasure of working with Ian and his team and couldn't be more impressed with his professionalism and expertise. From the beginning his communication was outstanding, always keeping us informed and promptly answering any questions we had, even the silly ones! What really stood out was Ian’s no bull approach—no fluff, just honest, straightforward advice that helped us make the right decisions. He consistently provided valuable feedback and did thorough research to ensure we were always aware of where we stood in the market. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will have your back every step of the way we highly recommend Ian Buchanan.

He was efficient, experienced and very knowledgeable. He managed the sale with professionalism, and his communication was excellent. His assistant was excellent, too.

Selling your home can be stressful, and Ian helped smooth the entire process. I would highly recommend Ian, as his real estate knowledge, understanding of local market conditions, and clear communication skills with no 'bullsh#t' language meant the facts were presented, a clear marketing plan enacted, and expectations clearly met. Ian and his team managed the whole process efficiently and provided the support to complete a successful sale. Thank you, Ian.

I would happily recommend Shona and Ian to anyone selling their house. They made the whole process easy and were there to answer any questions we had. They both attended all open homes and followed up potential leads. Their marketing plan brought great results and ultimately ended in a successful auction. Achieving this in the current market is a credit to them both.

Ian has excellent product knowledge, takes a no nonsense approach and most of all he is honest. He is a great agent and I would recommend him. He made the transaction easy and pleasurable. A master of his craft. I have dealt with hundreds of agents and Ian stood out as one of the best. Richard - Lawyer

From the moment we have meet Ian he showed us 100% engagement and passion to be successful in the process of selling our property. Nothing but positivity, professional attitude and good humor comes out from this man. If we would had to go through this process again, Ian would be our first choice.

Ian was patient and supportive about the sale of our property, at a time when the market experienced a slowdown and increasing rates. His communication was clear, timely, and always professional, being pragmatic and realistic in his approach. He was willing to go the extra mile when required and we are grateful for having him help sell our property.

Pleasant and professional staff. We were made to feel very welcome at the auction. Tenacity and positivity from our agent. We felt the entire team was united in their efforts to work for us as vendors. Thank you Bayleys Pukekohe.
