Testimonials

Nigel & Anna, Queenstown

"‘My partner and I purchased our first home in Nelson with the help of Richard and Lisa whilst we were living in Queenstown. Both Richard and Lisa went above and beyond helping us through the process, always responding swiftly and comprehensively to all our queries. They provided a very personal touch to the whole process making the remote purchase as stress free and straightforward as possible. I would highly recommend ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ to anyone looking at buying a property in or around the Nelson area.’"

Johnnie & Vikki, Nelson

"Outstanding agents. Being novices to the housing market, The Smiths gently and expertly guided us through the process of selling our first house and buying our next home. Excellent communicators, Lisa and Richard are really easy to talk to, they responded quickly to email and text communication. They were very patient with us and we never felt pressured. When we needed it they gave us professional and well considered advice and opinions. This duo really went the whole hog for us as sellers and then again as buyers. We will be signing their praises all over town."
