At first meeting I was very impressed with Sonia's professionalism. She was very careful and thorough especially about disclosure (important to all Aucklanders after Anniversary weekend flooding!). She led me through this process as well as the staging (which I was initially against) but once done, was superb. Because I was under pressure to sell I also appreciated the fact that Sonia sensed my stress and went out of her way to bring me some nice cooked food. She also provided excellent photos of the property and regular feedback on potential buyers. Altogether Sonia is very open, professional, and caring. I recommend her highly (11/10)

We first met Sonia three years ago and have seen her in action as an agent in a number of different listings over that period when we were house hunting ourselves. We have always been impressed with Sonia's ability to connect with buyers, her professionalism and her knowledge of the market. She was a natural choice when we decided to list our own property. Sonia provided exceptional advice from the moment we considered listing, and was fantastic at ensuring we presented our house to its full potential. She is extremely generous with her time and was always willing to discuss our options in depth. Sonia took the time to learn everything she could about our home in order to be able to share with potential purchasers. Sonia ran an excellent campaign for us - open homes were very well attended and we received multiple offers shortly after going to market. Sonia kept us well informed throughout and we were delighted with the outcome of the campaign. We are very pleased to recommend Sonia as an agent.

I feel very lucky to have had Sonia as my agent and honestly couldn't have asked for better. She is super knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, organised and just a lovely person to deal with. I am super stoked with my new house and wouldn't be in it without her. Thanks so much Sonia!

Sonia was acting for the vendors, not us, but she was extremely responsive to our questions and was extremely professional and helpful. Highly recommended.

Sonia went above and beyond to help us throughout the sale process.

Sonia is diligent and devotes lots of time and energy to maximising the sale

When my wife and I put our home on the market, we interviewed several Estate Agents. The first few we met with were very middling. But the minute Sonia checked in we knew we had a champion! All our anxieties were allayed..all our children were very impressed..she was always there to, metaphorically, hold our hand throughout the whole process

As stated we were very pleased with Sonia we particularly appreciated she had the best interests of both parties. At no stage did she harass or pressure us to purchase, but instead appeared genuinely concerned in what was best for us. Sonia appeared to have a sound knowledge of the area and its market. Sonia was very professional and friendly without being too pushy and did her best to satisfy vendor and purchaser. We have purchased and sold a number of properties over the years and our experience with Sonia was as good as any we have encountered.

I appreciated and enjoyed working with the two agents. The depth of detail on number and location of contacts that was presented as the advertising campaign proceeded, from the sign appearing at the address to the open homes was very helpful in enabling me to understand the market at the time that I was selling. (Would prefer to anonymise name and address please)

We have purchased and sold with Sonia and she is an exceptional agent. She was highly professional, trustworthy and her commitment and attention to selling our property was above and beyond what we have experienced with any other agents we have previously used.

Sonia has a PhD in the 5 Great Rules of Selling. Great with communication and feedback as well as taking the time with buyers and sellers to ensure everyone is included in the process. She handles complicated issues with ease and inspires confidence.

We can't express how grateful we are to have had Sonia involved in our house sale. Not only was she extremely supportive during the planning stages, she was mindful that we were running a busy household and made sure disruption was minimal. Such a breath of fresh air in the real estate industry, while still having excellent negotiation skills when it mattered. We tasked Sonia with a pretty tough brief and she completely knocked it out of the park. Thank you!

Thank you Sonia! We are so grateful for your help in selling our home. You listened, understood the urgency, and got the campaign underway without delay, timing everything beautifully to coincide with the exit date we had given you. We are especially appreciative of the extra evening open homes and the detail that you provided to create a warm and ambient atmosphere. You overcame the questions that accompany a house with construction such as ours, you prepared thoroughly, were open and honest with your answers to result in a much-needed sale for us. Thank you again. We will be very happy to provide a reference to any prospective client who is wanting a top notch, genuine salesperson. We wish you every success for the future.

We dealt with Sonia as both purchasers and vendors. We chose her to sell our property because of her professionalism, her attention to detail, good sense of interior style and her caring nature. Her expertise made our listing look fantastic and we were very pleased with the campaign. She really supported us throughout the entire process of both buying and selling, and her actions constantly went above and beyond what you’d expect from a real estate agent.

We feel lucky to have found Sonia to sell our house. In a challenging market, Sonia went above and beyond at every step of the sales process, from the initial pre-marketing stages, right up until settlement. As well as being a genuinely warm and lovely person, she was diligent, knowledgeable and extremely responsive, and always had our best interests at heart. We felt very reassured having her in our corner throughout the sales process. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Sonia to anybody looking to sell their home.

Sonia was incredible to deal with throughout our sale process and took as much of the stress off us as possible, making herself available night and day to answer queries and provide advice. We felt like she was with us the whole way and had our best interests in mind at all times. We would highly recommend Sonia to anyone considering selling and would very happily work with her again in the future.

Sonia was extremely helpful and professional in the buying process. Being a local herself, she was knowledgeable on the area and assisted in attaining the information we needed to get the deal done. Sonia made the buying process a relaxed and enjoyable one. Thank you!

Personable and Professional! Sonia was lovely to deal with. As first home buyers, the process was quite daunting for my partner and I. But, Sonia made us feel comfortable throughout. She is kind, and very attentive. Overall, we were very happy with our purchase and Sonia made the experience that much better!

An absolute pleasure to deal with. We dealt with Sonia when purchasing our home recently. Sonia is a pleasure to deal with and is upfront, personable, communicates in a timely manner, knowledgeable and has attention to detail. It is clear that she has a passion to provide excellence to both the seller and buyer. I would not hesitate to recommend Sonia to anyone that is considering listing their property in the future.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to sincerely thank you for everything you have done to allow for the smooth purchase of our new home. We cannot recommend you highly enough with everything you did from the first time we met you to view the property. Nothing has been too much trouble and we appreciate at times we were highly demanding due to falling in love with the property. Throughout the purchase, you have been kind, patient and professional with our endless questions and able to put our minds at rest with us selling and purchasing for the first time in NZ. We would not hesitate recommending your services and would most definitely ask you to manage any future sales and purchases in the future. It really has been a pleasure and we hope to stay in touch.

I highly recommend Sonia Dufty as a Real Estate Salesperson. Sonia was caring, honest and kept me in the loop throughout. Everyone was important and the whole process was about everyone being accommodated and happy. Our buyer had last-minute concerns but Sonia was able to bring us all together and reassure them - we were both very happy with the outcome. Over the years, I've been involved in 5 house sales. For me, this was the very best sale ever and I cannot speak of Sonia highly enough.
