Testimonials

Ray and Judy Stevens

"To whom it may concern, This is to state that Peter Stratton was given the job of selling our farm property 'Donmore' at Taroa, Taihape. This property had been in our family for over 100 years and it required a special type of person to market it for us. Peter and his team from Bayleys were outstanding and the auction day results proved it, well over double GV for 'Donmore'. On a personal note, Peter Stratton takes nothing for granted and is very thorough in all he does. He also moves very comfortably in all circles, a real Gentlemen when dealing with the Lady of the House, which is important when the Farm is a life and not just a business. Peter Stratton and his wife Sally, who is also very supportive, are accessible at all times and carry our highest recommendations."

Sir Thomas and Lady Duncan Trust

"This is to say that The Sir Thomas and Lady Duncan Trust have recently sold their property - Otiwhiti Station - a 3,354 hectare hill country property in the Rangitikei, at auction through Bayleys Real Estate Limited. The whole sale process was conducted extremely professionally by two very competent agents. Written weekly reports were provided to the Trustees. The ability of the Estate Agents to sift out the firm bidders from the rest and to provide accurate information to the vendors prior to auction was as impressive as it was important. The trustees have no doubt that Bayleys provided service above and outside the abilities of their competitors. It was a pleasure to deal with the whole Bayleys team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter Stratton to anyone. Paul Duncan, Chairman."
