Testimonials

Charlotte Evans

"Maria was an absolute lifesaver for us, managing every detail seamlessly while we were living overseas. In what was considered a challenging market, her dedication and expertise not only secured us three competitive multi-offers but also resulted in the successful sale of our home within just four weeks of listing. Maria went above and beyond, handling the preparation and marketing of our property flawlessly, ensuring the entire process was stress-free and transparent. We wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results."

"We wanted to take this opportunity to bring to your attention the absolutely fantastic experience we have recently had when dealing with your agent Maria Fontes, while buying our new home at 86 Seaview Road, Piha. The whole experience with Maria has been outstanding. She’s definitely gone above and beyond our expectations on multiple occasions. She’s super friendly, very professional and her communication is second to none, nothing was too much of a problem. We had the unfortunate experience of having our home damaged by Cyclone Gabrielle which has led to what we thought of as our ‘forever home’ being deemed category 3 by Auckland Council. Maria has been so good about keeping us in the loop with upcoming house sales and we were lucky enough to have her let us know about 86 Seaview Road coming on to the market. With Maria’s help, we are able to jump on the home quickly and secure the property. Maria worked tirelessly with the previous owners to ensure everything about the sale went very smoothly. She was patient with all of our questions and concerns as, to be honest, we were a little concerned about buying another property out here after what we’d just been through and wanted to be very thorough with our due diligence. Maria responded to our questions quickly and with the utmost patience, sincerity and professionalism. We can’t thank her enough and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s a superstar and a real asset to your team."
