Jeff was recommended to us by one of his colleagues, as it turned out we could not have asked for a better agent to sell our property. Two things in the future I wouldn't hesitate doing is sell by auction and have Jeff manage the process.

We had no hesitation in engaging Jeff to list our home, 30 years after he sold our first home in Nelson. We chose Jeff for a variety of reasons but foremost in our thinking was his high integrity, loyalty and honesty. We always knew it is a tough sellers' market and we needed an agent we could trust and rely on. Jeff was thorough in his preparation and marketing of our property.

Rangi and Jeff as our sales people were fantastic from start to end, they were friendly and involved me in the process the whole way through. They made what could have been a very stressful situation incredibly manageable. Most importantly the house was sold in the timeframe I required at a price I was happy with. Superb communication and I could tell how genuine they were in wanting to help. Thank you to them and the rest of the team.
