"We were newcomers to NZ and to Queenstown. Having fallen in love with both, we were introduced by a friend to Vanessa Sharp who went to a lot of trouble to familiarise us quickly with the locality and listened carefully to our intentions and needs. It didn’t take long to find the right property with Vanessa’s help and she was of great help in negotiating our purchase and then in introducing us to high quality professionals to help us forward with our intentions. Most of all we found Vanessa’s good humour and personal engagement with us made the whole process fun as well as professional."

"It is with real enthusiasm that I hereby highly recommend Vanessa and Carl Johnston for their real estate work. First, they have helped me feel secure with them, and in a way with the country itself when I arrived in New Zealand, as they were truly advising me on what to do and not to do when looking for a property in Queenstown. Ihave to say today that fi they had not been serious in their search and in their negotiation with the seller, I would not have bought anything. Not only they have been able to help me find the perfect house, they have also helped me meet with the proper list of various contractors that enabled me to enhance further the house to my taste. During our stay, they have maintained a truly friendly relationship with us and always helped us while being away, once again making us feel they were always ready for the extra mile for us. Then when we decided that we had to leave because we just had a baby that could not travel so far, it was with a heartbreak that we asked Vanessa and Carl to sell our house, during a not so easy resale market period (due to the change in real estate rules with some foreigners not being able to buy houses in New Zealand). My wife hoped that they would never sell the house so that she could think of keeping the house for when our child would be older. And once again, Vanessa and Carl still found the right buyer, made the deal very easy for us, helped us move without us being on site. That felt great to be accompanied till the end. I am sure that if the people reading this letter understand that there is no better agents in Queenstown and its surroundings, then one day they will be willing to also write such a personal recommendation letter in their turn if needed."
