What my clients say

Above and beyond service from day one!-James MacDonald provided absolutely outstanding service selling our Waitakere Ranges property on Tawari Road. Despite the challenging current market, his dedication and expertise delivered exactly what we hoped for - a quick sale at an excellent price with multiple interested buyers. James's communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. Even with our remote Henderson Valley location, he went above and beyond arranging private viewings at short notice and provided invaluable advice on how to best prepare our property for sale. His commitment to open homes and private showings was exceptional. What truly set James apart was his masterful negotiation skills during the auction process - it was clear we had an experienced professional working on our behalf who understood the Auckland property market inside and out. His dedication to achieving our goals of a fast sale and great price was unmatched. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James to anyone selling in the Waitakere area or wider Auckland region. His combination of market knowledge, communication skills and genuine commitment to his clients' success makes him stand out from the crowd. 10/10 - couldn't be happier with the result!
