In a difficult market she stuck to the task and worked with us to get a good price for our home. Ideally we would have liked more however with the market down turn we were happy with the final price. We know Michelle had to push back on a number of low ball offers which she did in a professional manner while communicating with us along the way.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service . Our journey with Michelle and Phillip was a very positive one. Communication was excellent, always professional and well presented, they messaged straight after open homes and thanked us for presenting the house so nicely, we then also got a phone call follow up the later the same day after following up potential buyers from open homes and private viewings with additional feedback. We had regular meetings with reports on recent sales, social media statistics and nothing was a problem including coming to our home at night to fit in with us. I would highly recommend Michelle and Phillip

Fantastic experience: Beyond all expectations . If you are looking to sell your house in the Whitby/Porirua area, engaging Eileen as your agent is a must. Her communication is second to none - from the minute we first spoke to Eileen about our intentions to sell she was immediately responsive to our questions and concerns and kept in touch with us at all hours of the day. We were living in Australia during the sale of our home in Whitby, so Eileen went above and beyond to liaise with our property manager, arrange cleaners, gardeners, staging, tradespeople, removalists and the list goes on. A process that we thought was going to be incredibly stressful was relatively seamless with the help of Eileen. Eileen is professional in all aspects and has a warmth and compassion that is reassuring for both vendors and buyers. We purchased our first home through Eileen in 2018, so knew first hand that she was going to be excellent in her approach with interested parties.
