Her experience spans a broad range of industries, including FMCG, QSR, growing media and the stock-feed sectors which included upcycling of food waste into stockfeed.

    Client testimonials

    Slide 1 of 9

    Shona was very upfront and kept us very well informed throughout the whole selling process of how many enquires, comments from potential purchasers which was very helpful. Highly recommend if you want agent that will work for you and get the best price out there.

    Timaru District Council

    Shona was great to deal with had good communication. She made the process simple for my side of it. Would recommend

    Sam Whyte

    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.

    Stephanie

    Shona went above and beyond to help get the property sold, even did an inspection when tenants left and sorted pre-settlement inspection without the need for me to travel and attend... all and all just a really good experience.

    Salmon and Compass Holdings Limited

    Shona went above and beyond to help us. She had so much experience and knowledge of the industry and area she was able to point us in the right direction. She was very patient with all my questions and went out of her way to help. I would 100% recommend Shona to anyone and everyone.

    Kylie (Purchaser)

    Shona was brilliant to deal with. She kept in regular communication with me/the Bank. Her marketing reports provided great deal of information and assisted the Bank in achieving a great sale for the borrower. Due to a complication with the property, Shona was able to organise additional tests, which normally are the Bank's responsibility but she took her initiative to progress matters and achieve a great outcome.

    ASB Bank Limited

    Shona has worked tirelessly to make this sale happen, going above and beyond and we appreciate all her input. She has kept us informed throughout the entire process and we have found her to be honest and reliable, but most importantly she has always respected our wishes. We would highly recommend her if you are looking to sell your property, in fact, she has restored our faith in real estate agents.

    Rowan & Paula (vendors)

    Our touch point Shona Brown has been amazing. She is clear, precise and pretty articulate in her communication. She has kept us abreast with the entire process and guided us through it. Her knowledge about lifestyle blocks has been invaluable and it has given us so much confidence. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lifestyle block. Thanks Shona and Bayleys.

    Rohit & Parul

    Shona listened to our needs and wants, respected these and walked the long and difficult process side by side with us. We felt they understood the emotion attached to selling our house and rode the emotional rollercoaster of the housing market with us too. They tried very hard to get us the results we wanted and helped guide us with decision making along the way.
