Testimonials

Sue and Chris

""I met Donna Harris after contacting her to do a free appraisal on our home in Queenstown. I was immediately impressed with Donna's straight up honesty and openness. I was expecting a 10 min walk through and quick chat but instead Donna was happy to answer all my questions regarding selling etc. Donna was at our house for over an hour. When she left I phoned my husband and said how impressed I was with her. We arranged a time for her to come meet Chris and from there we signed her to sell our home. Donna helped us get a couple of matters sorted with the council. All done with a smile and assuring us not to stress! We had been living in our home for nearly 30 years so it was quite a big deal! From day one Donna was booking viewings and constantly kept us informed of what these people thought etc. Donna is very thorough and professional - constantly explaining the reasons for rules etc.""

"My dealings with Donna where always a pleasure she is very professional and great at what she does. We had a home in Hope Ave, Lake Hayes Estate which she knows well. I had the choice of other agents but Donna stood out from them all as a real estate professional. I trusted her advice and she proved our choice, I believe in marketing a property and as Donna said "you can't sell a secret". Thanks Donna and wish you all the success in the world!"
