Testimonials

Below are testimonies from some of our past vendors and purchasers:

"We elected to market for sale a treasured holiday home we had owned for 16 years. Glenn Dick was the recognised expert in the Marlborough Sounds but I hadn’t dealt with him previously. In our business we have contracted in excess of 460 real estate transactions. I can state without any shadow of doubt that Glenn Dick is the most exceptional real estate professional I have dealt with. Glenn kept us fully informed, created very sound marketing plans, initiated the web marketing and prepared a solid all round package and was clearly genuinely passionate about our property and the process. Above all, Glenn acted professionally for both parties. He is an expert and honest negotiator. We were thrilled with the price and outcome and the buyer is very happy the perfect outcome. I don’t recommend people lightly, but with Glenn it’s an absolute pleasure”.
M Mahoney, Queenstown.



“We would like to thank you for your excellent service, and a great result. We really appreciated your professionalism, doing everything you said you would do quickly and efficiently. Levi is a great asset to your team and certainly delivered the support needed in the process. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to actually sell their property in this market to use Bayleys and specifically Glen Dick and his team”.
D & V Pearse, Tauranga.



“We just want to thank you very much for your time and effort in selling our property in Moetapu Bay Road. Regardless of outcome, we certainly appreciated the work you, Levi and Bayleys as a Group put into the project – we could not have asked for a more professional approach and the regular weekly reports were most informative and kept us in total touch. Everyone who we dealt with were most obliging and helpful and of course to achieve the result at the end of the day was a real bonus. A big thanks to you all”.
T & J McGowan, Nelson.



“Thank you for the professional manner with which you have marketed our property. Your personal warmth and enthusiasm has encouraged us along the way. With our kindest regards”.
M & J Ford, Marlborough.



“May I thank you again for the regular communication from your office which kept me and my brothers in the loop. It was good to meet you and your assistance in including my brothers was much appreciated. We were all impressed by the professional manner in which Glenn ran the campaign and would happily recommend him to others (I already have!) With kind regards to the team".
H Adam, Auckland.



"We would not hesitate to recommend Carina to anyone considering buying or selling real estate. Her enthusiasm, professional and positive approach along with her natural warmth, sense of humor and her dedication to her clients far exceeded our expectations".
G & T Goddard, Blenheim.



"I am often asked what is the number one quality for someone to be successful in the real estate profession. The answer I have discovered after 30 years in the industry is simply ‘enthusiasm’ and in Carina that’s exactly what you get as she’s absolutely full of it and despite any prevailing market condition it is ultimately this quality that will result in a successful conclusion for all parties.  When dealing with Carina recently when I was advising my elderly parents on the sale of their home in Blenheim I was most impressed by Carina’s communication and warm friendly and caring nature when dealing with them especially as my Father was very ill at the time and it was a stressful time for all concerned. Her kind and caring nature won her friends for life.  As one who has seen a lot of people come and go in this industry I can only say that it’s a pity that there weren’t a lot more Carina's out there. That way the industry might be looked at in a different light.  To anyone looking to sell, don’t hesitate to call me as I’d be glad to further elaborate on what Carina can bring to the table".
B Eastgate, Christchurch.



"Without hesitation I would recommend Carina as a consummate professional.  Her enthusiasm, efficiency and personality were very helpful during our Real Estate process.  A year has now passed and I am happy to say we still enjoy our friendly relationship.  I wish her continued success in her Real Estate future".
Pat, Blenheim.



"Carina has an outstanding quality of reflecting on the needs of people whether they be buyers or sellers which to my mind is paramount in this business and is a point of difference.  She is very passionate about what she does and will go that extra mile.  I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any prospective buyer or vendor".
Pete Halligan.



"I would like it to be acknowledged, that both my Mother and I found the experience of selling her Blenheim home far less stressful than we had anticipated. This was largely due to the wonderful help given to us by Carina.  Carina made every effort to keep my elderly Mother well-informed at all stages of the procedure. She was available, considerate and reassuring in her approach. I know that Mum enjoyed her visits, chats and kindness during what was potentially a very unhappy time. We have had a Blenheim home since 1960, and were not looking forward to selling.  Situations that could have overwhelmed an older person were taken out of Mum’s hands and handled beautifully by Carina and her team. The personal approach was very apparent, even to a birthday visit and gift for Mum and a visit on the final evening in the home, again with a gift, was much appreciated".
Carrie Hartel (Daughter of Ngaire Taylor)



"Right from the start Carina was very professional in her approach to the job, quickly assessing what she thought was the best option, giving clear reasons for her suggestion. Questions were handled with respect and time allowed for our family to discuss the options. The house was in a trust and required communication between the Trustees, who were not all in Blenheim, but Carina handled this very efficiently. Once we had agreed on the auction option she quickly formulated a selling plan and kept the momentum going with a clear marketing plan. Communication via phone and email was prompt and despite my tardiness at times she handled it with professionalism making sure all documentation was completed. Despite being a very motivated and confident agent I felt Carina was able to size up a situation and respond to changes calmly and efficiently. She kept us focused on the goal which was to sell the house to best advantage and as a seller I felt confident in her advice and ability to do the job."
Jenny Nicol, Christchurch.



"Carina had listed our 6 bedroom villa home for sale. She was always very enthusiastic and communication was a top priority. Her marketing was outstanding. We would certainly use Carina again for any property sale or purchase. Many thanks Carina."
Jenny and Brian Alexander.



"I have been fortunate enough to buy and sell through Carina. I found her to be honest, responsive and a fantastic communicator. Carina has excellent marketing strategies and delivered us a sale with in a very short period of time (even in this current market). I would have to say the nicest thing about Carina was that you feel like you are her only client, because she is so accessible and responsive to any questions you have. I would highly recommend her and would have no hesitation using her again in the future".
