Kind Regards Megan Jaffe MBA Licensee Salesperson REAA (2008) TESTIMONIALS 17th February 2011 Dear Megan, I just wanted to properly acknowledge the amazing job you have done selling my home. They say selling a house is up there with the most stressful things in life, and certainly I feared it would be. But from the moment I met you, I was confident that I had the best working for me, and that you and your team would get a result. Thank you for your calm reassurance, for your quiet support and for your gentle prodding to keep me on track when I occasionally lost sight of the goalposts! Most of all, thank you for the respect with which you treated my family and my home. The process of open homes and viewings was never intrusive, you always kept me informed and you were always available to talk. Your focus and your commitment is undoubtedly reflected in a successful sale in just three weeks. Thank you again for all your hard work and for smiling through every bit of it. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you and get to know you and your great colleagues. Kind regards, Fiona Hall 2nd December 2010 Dear Megan, I just wanted to thank you and your team on a remarkable job on what was a very difficult assignment. Yourself and the Kings held in there in a tenacious and determined manner until the job was completed and it is this quality that separates great agents from the pack. I have been doing development for 25 years now and this would be the most impressive performance for a client I have ever seen . Congratulations to you and the team. Yours Faithfully John Parker. 10th September 2010 Dear Megan, We would like to thank you and your team for the outstanding work and great result we had in selling our home. This was particularly difficult for us in that I was in London during the entire marketing and selling process. However, you kept both Rita (in Auckland) and I (in London) fully informed during the process, and I also particularly appreciated that you were free to take calls from me at any time. The marketing plan, photography and advertising of our home was of the highest standard. And, through your connections, obtaining a front page feature article in the Herald Homes Magazine was an added and very pleasing bonus. Rita was primarily in contact with you, and she really appreciated your openness and honesty of advice and also your willingness to listen to our needs and requirements. Thank you again and to all at Ray White who were involved in selling our home. With kind regards Peter and Rita Reid 25th August 2010 Dear Megan On 24 April we started on an extraordinary rollercoaster ride. From an inquisitive visit to one of your Open Homes, and with no strong intention to move quickly, we have rapidly progressed through the challenging and event-filled process that is real estate. Having not travelled this path for over 20 years, the experience was not without its dramas, its high and lows, as we experienced the way it’s done these days. We cannot commend you and your team too highly for the professional and sympathetic manner in which you have held our hands both as sellers and buyers. As agents for both our tightly time-constrained sale and purchase transactions you truly delivered the full service. The great team culture clearly evident in your office, the advice on the process and the input to the preparation of our current property are all factors indicative of your commitment to getting results. Our sincere thanks to you personally and our slice of your Ray White team – Terry and Diana, Suzie and Craig. Sincerely Kirsty and Robin Beckett TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Happy Clients...
When Megan is acting for the vendor, it’s not “buyer beware” rather, it’s “buyer becomes aware” Our property purchase was made easy thanks to the professionalism of Megan Jaffe. In particular, her openness with price expectations, her expert assessment of house value relative to recent market activity and the clear demonstration that all discussions were in the context of working towards a sale first and foremost for her client, but in a manner which gave us the confidence to proceed, combined to make buying easy. If you are selling property, then in our view, the way Megan works is exactly what you need.
Ben & Joanna
Dear Megan Louisa & I would like to thank you for putting your life on hold this weekend to facilitate the purchase of our new house. We were totally impressed and believe you did everything possible to ensure that the purchase could proceed. Kindest regards
Johnathan & Louisa Rose
Dear Megan, Again, our genuine and hearty congratulations on completing this sale. We readily acknowledge that the property is non-standard and the market is as tough as can be. That the sale has been effected is due to your skill. With Kind Regards, Neil Murray Armstrong Murray Barristers & Solicitors.

Megan and Carla recently sold a property for my wife and I in Debron Ave, Remuera. Frankly in the current market they achieved almost the impossible - selling a property within four weeks of listing, with only three weekends of open homes and for a good price. Their advice in regards to a realistic price was sound and was confirmed by independent advice, advice that they welcomed. This is the second property that Megan has sold for us, one in a very good market on the northern slopes and one in a very difficult market on the southern slopes. I have no doubt that on both occasions Megan achieved an excellent price in the prevailing market and I have no hesitation to recommend Megan and Carla to anyone selling their property. Thanks to the whole team for all your effort and patience (Sue can be very difficult!). Regards, David & Sue Taylor

Dear Megan, Dianne and I want to say how much we appreciated the way in which you handled the sale of our home recently. Right from the start we were impressed by your professional approach and also by the enthusiasm you showed in the project. We were able to openly discuss our preferred options and feel as though we were heard, on the other hand we certainly valued the suggestions you fed back to us and we feel that we were able to arrive at a marketing formula which we were comfortable with. As the marketing campaign got underway we were pleased with the quality of the publications, and the quick response to items that we decided needed changing. The effectiveness of the campaign was incredible with the huge response at the open home days and we really appreciate the additional exposure you were able to get for us with the Herald feature. Dianne and I feel that in terms of getting the message about our property out to all no one could have exceeded your effectiveness. We were impressed also with our dealings with Craig who we have invariably found to be quick, efficient and effective. Your weekly sales reports were packed with useful information and formed a great base of knowledge for us as to who was looking seriously at our home. The quality of your operation was evident to us from the start as was your integrity; we feel that in a housing market which is perceived as difficult at the moment, your superb negotiation skills were able to produce a timely result which left us well satisfied. Many thanks Stuart and Dianne Duncan

Trading houses, whether buying or selling, is fraught with angst for all those involved. You can hope for nothing more than fairness from your agent who has a responsibility to both sides of the negotiation. Dealing with Megan Jaffe we trusted her judgement, found reality in her advice and had a sense that the deal she consummated was fair to all those involved. P & K Moore

We were most impressed with Megan Jaffe, whom we met at the open home. As a result, we decided to use the services of Ray White’s Remuera, to sell our own home. Their advice as to the value of our home (a difficult thing for us to assess) and the marketing strategy, could not be faulted. They had a very efficient data base, an energetic system of contact with good prospective buyers, and good principles and integrity when dealing with us, the sellers, and also with other agents. With the combination of Megan and her team, and their attention to detail, we achieved a very prompt and highly satisfactory outcome to what could have been a very stressful experience. We would like to thank them all, and have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody who is in need of Real Estate agents. Harold and Gillian Coop

"We wish to convey to you our sincere appreciation for the excellent marketing campaign you carried out on our property, resulting in a sale in only 16 days from listing. You were always receptive to our input and carried out the program with surprisingly little disruption to us. We were very impressed with your professionalism, market knowledge, negotiating skills and excellent communication. We felt that if anyone could make a deal work, you would. We would highly recommend your services to anyone contemplating selling their property." M & B Shaw

"Megan Jaffe sold our house very quickly and efficiently and to our great satisfaction. She has a remarkable team that supports her and enables the smooth transition of the ‘tatty’ home into one that looks very presentable and polished. Her friendliness made her feel like one of the family and she even included the cat in her all encompassing compassion. Many thanks Megan to making the difficult time easier." P. Eivers

"Our very early dealings with Megan showed that she stands out from her peers in her thorough knowledge of the real estate in the area she works in and particularly, the property we were looking at. As people who have searched for a long time to find a new home, we needed (and only wanted) factual information and Megan was able to provide it (or if not, responded within the day). Megan is also very perceptive, fully understood the vendors motivation and took the time to understand our driving factors. She can make the deal work, which in other hands would be doubtful." F. Oliver

“Megan, it finally remains for me to thank you for your all your efforts in our recent purchase. Your skill, patience and professionalism was appreciated. I have no doubt that it was through your efforts that we were finally able to secure an agreement and buy the Parnell property that my wife and I are delighted with.” K. Trotter

"I would personally like to thank Megan for her considerable efforts in making the process of selling 23 Awatea so painless and uncomplicated. Since we listed our home with Megan I have found her to be an absolute pleasure to deal with. I particularly enjoyed her straightforward and direct manner. Whether requesting documentation or requiring access to show the home to buyers, Megan was always considerate and respectful, clearly setting out timeframes and minimising any inconvenience. She was always available to assist with information and advice despite her no doubt busy workload and level of demands on her time. Her indepth knowledge of the market and ablity to relate to people was no doubt a factor which led to the sale of our home in the quick timeframe in which she achieved this. Megan kept us informed and communicated with us during every step in the process and each significant development both by phone and regular reports of the interest in the property. An example of her extreme professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile was evidenced by her arranging the rest of the homestaging after we had moved out and her calm and no fuss approach to showing the home without furniture during the weekend of the move. I would like to thank Megan for her efforts in acheiving a great result for us." R & P Webb

"If all agents were as efficient, honest and professional as you Megan, house selling/purchasing would be a far easier process in New Zealand. Thanks so much for all your help and for going out of your way to look after us. We'd be more than happy to recommend you to anyone" S Reade

" Megan Jaffe had secured a sale of a comparative property in our area and was prepared to appraise our property objectively without cajoling for a listing. Megan also quickly respected that we were educated vendors with some specific objectives for placing our property on the market so we had little hesitation in engaging her as our agent. She did not pressure us to over-extend our marketing contributions, she supported our personal endeavours to raise the property's profile during the agency, and she was able to utilise her databases and networks to present interested parties. She had a strong grasp of our expectations of professional integrity. Megan was buoyant and industrious in the face of some testing market conditions and never insisted that we consider matters subjectively." T & J Churton

"Megan Jaffe recently sold our family home in Remuera. I found Megan to be a highly professional person in all my dealings with her. Her attention to detail is second to none. She listened to my requirements. I wanted a quick sale in order to cause minimal disruption to my family and maintain our privacy. As a result our house was sold within 1 week of advertising the property. A fantastic result for both of us. I thoroughly recommend Megan Jaffe if you are considering selling your property."

" We recently listed our home under an auction campaign with Megan which sold on auction day. We also purchased our new home with the help of Megan. During our auction campaign Megan's calm, co-operative and professional manner kept negotiations managed without much disruption to our family. Megan's strength and willingness to ensure everything was as stress-free as possible went beyond the expectations of an agent. We would definitely recommend Megan as the person to assist with selling or buying your next home." S and A Joyce

" We met Megan Jaffe at an open house and were immediately comfortable in dealing with her. Megan subsequently represented us in the purchase of our new home and as a result were very pleased to list our existing home for sale by auction with her. Megan managed the open homes very efficiently and reported back to us on a regular basis, the whole process through to auction was "painless" and our house was sold at auction, just as Megan predicted it would be. When you are selling a house there is only one result which will do and that is achieving your sale at an acceptable price.....Megan delivered. We can thoroughly recommend Megan as an experienced and professional agent." P and F Bravo

" Megan was professional at all times from the very first meeting and throughout our pre-auction period. Our weekly meetings were thoroughly organised and very informative. Megan is exceptionally analytical and I believe gains a great understanding of all the potential purchasers. Our home was sold on auction day, Megan was truly a pleasure to work with and our experience was seamless as she worked tirelessly with the bidders on the day, which resulted in the successful sale. I confidently recommend Megan if you are thinking of selling your property. I am sure that you will find the same fantastic service and successful results as we did." R & N Humphries

" Recently Catherine and myself had the pleasure of working with Megan, following the decision to sell our much loved property in St. Heliers and move to a more central location. Like many home owners, the decision to “sell” can be a challenging and emotional process. That being the case, it is imperative that you have absolute trust and confidence in the agent you choose to provide prudent advice and direction. The genius of the “AND” is to then market your property in such a way to create the most cost effective cut through to the broadest possible target market. In this area, Megan truly excels, delivering USP’s rarely provided by other Real Estate Agents. Megan exceeded our expectations and both Catherine and myself have the utmost confidence in recommending Megan if you are considering selling your home." A & C Holden

" I was very apprehensive about putting my apartment up for sale by auction never the less I took reassurance from the fact that you were handling it. It was a very tense time for me but your calm, co-operative manner reassured me. At all times you worked very hard, going beyond what one has any right to expect. No matter what I asked from you, you willingly did it, and your manner was always friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Not only has my apartment been sold but also I have purchased another apartment that will meet all my needs and requirements. There again you represented me with the vendor with vigour and secured a price which I could afford. I wish you all success in your career in the future. You certainly deserve to be very successful and I would recommend you without hesitation." Dame Barbara Goodman

"I found Megan to be confident and professional, enthusiastic and optimistic. When she said she could sell the house in two weeks if given sole agency, I believed her. Throughout Megan was focussed and committed to the task. At least once a day she checked in to give me an update and discuss possible strategies. She was open and supportive at all times. Sure enough, at the end of two weeks she was able to obtain an agreement that satisfied the seller and the buyer. I can wholeheartedly recommend Megan Jaffe." W Walsh

"Megan Jaffe sold our home for a very satisfactory result. She obtained a high profile for our home in the New Zealand Herald and Sunday Star Times which helped to attract a good number of buyers. Megan was very professional and polite. We were most impressed with the fact she was happy to work with agents from other companies to ensure we got the best outcome. This is something we have never experienced before and it worked well." R and M Gilligan.

"Megan Jaffe was recently commissioned to sell our existing Parnell property and negotiate the purchase of another. In order to accurately assess our requirements in a new home Megan invested a significant amount of discussion time with us. This avoided us wasting time in looking at unsuitable properties and within a very short period of time she had located an ideal new home. She negotiated the terms and purchase price on our behalf with efficiency and speed. Megan then undertook the marketing and sale of our property. She remained in touch throughout the process both by telephone and personally through weekly meetings at which written reports were presented detailing the number and type of enquiries and buyers price expectancy. The property was sold in time and to a realistic market price. We are extremely pleased with the job Megan has done and feel she really earned the commission. A most impressive and tenacious agent and one we will look to in the future for our real-estate needs." P Dexter MSc (London)

Recently we asked Megan Jaffe Real Estate to present a proposal for the preparation for sale and marketing of our family home. Megan and her team produced a full and effective campaign for the sale of the property. At each stage the team kept the family informed and welcomed our input. This made the process of parting with a long held family property an easier and more comfortable task. I was particularly impressed with the strategy suggested and this proved to be very effective in the present real estate conditions. As a result we have sold to a keen buyer and I would have no hesitation in recommending Megan’s team. Susan Hemmings for The Barton Family Trust.

Herewith my Testimonial: Megan Jaffe Real Estate Limited Throughout the process of selling one's home, it is essential that vendors have total confidence in the integrity and abilities of the real estate agents they choose. Only well respected agents at the absolute top of their profession should be considered - and if they also then prove to have that magic 'X factor', the whole experience for vendors and purchasers is raised to another level altogether. In this regard it has been my very good fortune and pleasure to have recently met Megan Jaffe and her professional partner Rita Haagner and then engaged them as the real estate agents to market my property. I first met Megan and Rita when I walked into their office one morning. I immediately recognised their total professionalism, positive enthusiasm and focus. They were an extraordinary initial few moments and I realised then and there, that here was the winning real estate team I wanted working with me. They proved true to form at all times throughout the selling campaign. They came to view my property a few hours after we'd met. Once on site they immediately knew exactly how they wanted the promotion to be managed and what images their talented professional photographer would take to optimise their concept of the property's publicity presentation. Importantly, they related to and communicated with me as an equal, in an open and direct manner. They filled me with confidence in their professional experience and abilities to successfully manage all aspects of promoting my home. Right from that point our relationship and their programme management was superb. Courtesy and respect was shown in all dealings with me, my home and to the viewers. The effective results of their attention to detail, excellent communication and positive momentum was even further enhanced when, after only two weeks of the marketing programme, they introduced the perfect buyers who purchased the property. Here are two women who have raised the bar and set new standards in real estate. Their inevitable ongoing successes will be a delight to watch. Would I recommend Megan and Rita? Without hesitation - every time.

"To Whom It May Concern: Re: Sale of 98 Victoria Avenue, Remuera Megan Jaffe Real Estate Ltd sucessfully sold the above property for our company in spite of the fact that is was listed as a sole agency with another Real Estate Company. The expertise that Megan brought to the table in completing a sale offer from inception to unconditional was exceptional. I can strongly recommend their company to any purchaser or vendor. Yours faithfully, Alan Henderson Victoria Avenue Limited" April 2009

"After interviewing a selection of outstanding agents from different companies, we ultimately chose Megan Jaffe from Megan Jaffe Ltd. MREINZ, to sell our home. What an excellent decision! After a 3-week campaign during which a phenomenal 200+ groups came through the property, our house was sold at auction. Astonished onlookers were left blinking in disbelief at the selling price - $101,000 OVER the CV! Right from our first meeting, Megan shone for many, many reasons. Obviously, her vast experience and stellar sales record spoke for themselves. We were 100% confident that Megan would achieve the best possible result for us. Furthermore, she conveyed a vibrant passion for her career and an excitement about the idea of selling our house that was quite frankly, contagious. We found it immensely gratifying that Megan was so genuinely positive about our house and garden, as this made us feel she would convey this enthusiasm directly to potential buyers. Despite the fact that our home was a modest ex-state house in Onehunga, she treated it with as much care and esteem as a multi-million dollar property on a private island. Megan demonstrated a highly sophisticated understanding of the property market and communicated this to us with absolute clarity. Her strategically brilliant campaign used a combination of very well-targeted print and Internet marketing, database usage, and home viewings. She had an excellent understanding of our budgetary requirements and her integrated campaign maximised impact – as shown by the unprecedented numbers of hits on the Internet and numbers of people coming to open homes and to the auction. Megan was flawlessly professional on all levels. She was immensely respectful of our property, and of our wishes. She worked around the clock with integrity, energy and great humour. We knew we were in the most capable of hands – and the confidence that this feeling brought us as vendors, is immeasurable. Megan was a true delight to work with and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her, and her brilliant team." Bridget Ellis-Pegler / Caroline Ducobu 25 May 2009

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Hear ye, Hear ye, Megan Jaffe and Rita Haagner are legends. Megan and Rita sold our home for us. They were amazing. They were positive, focused and upbeat, from the start and it lasted right to the very end, even after the sale. Therein lies the difference. We previously had a long tale of woe with another large well known agency who consider themselves to be high profile in the Remuera area but were a dismal failure for us. Megan and Rita took over the marketing of our house. They quickly identified the lovely features of our house. New photographs were taken to focus on these aspects. The difference in approach was incredible. They both also had a natural flair in respect of the ‘dressing’ and were able to greatly enhance some areas with only minimal effort. Our house was sold within two weeks – ONLY ONE weekend of Open Homes. We were living out of Auckland during the marketing period. Megan’s assistant Craig was extremely obliging and helpful – backward and forward to our house to attend to matters for us – and greatly appreciated. We heartily recommend Megan Jaffe Real Estate. You will see a marked difference and it will last beyond the ‘courting’ period right up to when the sale is completed. K and C Elstob 3 July 2009

Hi Megan & Rita I have never doubted the decision to list with your firm, and I think the auction result confirmed we made the right decision. John and I have been impressed with the professionalism of the sales process from the day we walked into your offices, till now. Rita kept in touch with me (patient without being pushy) while I worked through the legal process to obtain permanent Property Management for Mum's affairs. Once I gave the go ahead the process has run smoothly, with regular communication without the need for prompting. The communication effectively close the distance between Auckland and Melbourne and at no time was I concerned that I couldn't actually "see" what was happening. We felt the advertising was outstanding - from web posting to brochure - and showcased the property to full advantage. We would have no hesitation in recommending Megan Jaffe Real Estate to anyone wanting to sell or buy a property in the area. Regards, Pamela von Drehnen July 2009

Dear Megan, Re: Sale of 20 Aldred Road, Remuera. This is to thank you for the very committed and efficient way you dealt with me and my house in effecting the sale. You promised it would be a pain-free experience, and I was delighted to find it so. I was impressed by the gorgeous photos used for advertising, and the wide range of exposures in websites, Property Press, local publications, letterbox drops, and finally the Herald article. That this was effective was made clear by the large numbers of potential buyers attending the Open Days, and the final Auction. I liked being kept in touch at all stages, and your weekly summaries, together with the support both you and Craig Gibbon gave me all through were very much appreciated. I also thought your little lectures on realistic expectations were useful and necessary. I have told me friends what a painless experience you made it, and can recommend your team to anyone planning to sell their house. With my grateful thanks, E. A. Bowie

To Whom It May Concern: Re: Megan Jaffe Real Estate Ltd I asked Megan to sell a property in Victoria Avenue, in mid 2009. She advised that the best approach would be to go to Auction. She then set about marketing the property for us. She first of all recommended cleaning it up and then provided the tradesmen to do this in a very cost effective and through way which enhanced its appearance immeasurably. Megan arranged for firm to temporarily furnish the house and this made an unbelievable difference. She then began showing groups of people through and in no time at all had eleven or so singed up as bidder. Megan went out of her way personally to show these people the property in such a way that a competitive spirit and enhanced keenness was generated. She accepted that we wanted a fair price relative to the true value of the property and no detail was overlooked in her efforts to get this for us. Unexpectedly we had to withdraw the property at the last minute when our daughter decided to return from overseas with her family to live in Auckland and needed somewhere to live. We were very embarrassed about this as we knew how hard Megan and her team had worked for us. She refused to take any compensation for the time she had put into the project, handling this about face on our part in a most professional and understanding manner as did her whole team, saying it was just “one of those things” that might happen as was all part of the business that they were in. Of course the firm of Megan Jaffe Real Estate has an excellent reputation for delivering a sale fair to both sides. She also has very personable and proficient support staff. I hope that Megan will take me on again when I want to sell another property. I know her firm will still be there as it has an air of discrete professionalism and is run from most attractive offices where the client can immediately see that he or she is valued. Stephen Gilbert

We recently invited Megan Jaffe to sell our house in Shore Rd, Remuera. Megan is a Remuera real estate specialist with a great reputation as an outstanding agent who “gets the job done”. Megan certainly lived up to that reputation. We found that her energy, intelligence and attention to detail quickly added momentum to our selling campaign and although Megan herself did not sell the house, she certainly helped us to achieve a very good result in a notoriously difficult market. We would recommend her outstanding skills, professionalism and positive energy without reservation. David and Louise Henderson 86 Gladstone Rd Parnell.

To whom it may concern: We recently decided to sell our existing house and after considering a number of possible agents we selected Ray White in Remuera and specifically Megan Jaffe who is owner of the business. We selected Megan because word of mouth was unanimous that she was an excellent real estate agent. It became obvious why Megan has such a good reputation. At our first meeting she carefully explained her approach to selling our house and outlined in detail the steps she would recommend and openly wished us to contribute our ideas. She kept us fully informed at all times during the the marketing campaign and visited us after each open home to keep us up to date with developments. Megan is an excellent communicator and keeping us so well informed was just great. We felt we had a friend helping us at all times. Megan also managed the final sale process with diplomacy and we never felt pressurised at any time. In fact the sale of our house was so smooth and well managed we remained very relaxed throughout. I would thoroughly commend Ray White and Megan to anyone considering the sale and purchase of real estate. She will look after your best interests and you will know every thing possible is being done on your behalf. DBC FRANZCR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Four years ago it was time to move on and a proposal for the sale of our house was sought from Bayleys Real Estate, Barfoot & Thompson Ltd and Megan Jaffe Real Estate. I sought from each, a proposal specific to our property, to identify the target market and to indicate a recommended price range. The former two produced their standard generic marketing plan and left it to “the market” to determine the value. Megan, on the other hand, produced exactly what I had asked for and outlined a strategy she proposed tailored for our property. To say that it worked would be an understatement. She produced an unconditional contract for an amount well in excess of that which either of us expected, and the deal was concluded within two weeks of listing. So when it was time to move again, there was no question as to whom we would ask to sell our home. As an example of the effectiveness of Megan’s marketing, the first (and only) open home attracted 100 people and the property was sold unconditionally within 5 days of first listing. Megan’s attention to detail, her professionalism, and especially her total commitment to her client is unparalleled in the industry in my experience. Anyone choosing between competing agents and who doesn’t employ Megan would be doing themselves a grave disservice. Mere words can never describe the admiration my wife and I have for her, and the manner in which she ensured that each sale was absolutely stress less for us and even, enjoyable.

25th August 2010 Dear Megan On 24 April we started on an extraordinary rollercoaster ride. From an inquisitive visit to one of your Open Homes, and with no strong intention to move quickly, we have rapidly progressed through the challenging and event-filled process that is real estate. Having not travelled this path for over 20 years, the experience was not without its dramas, its high and lows, as we experienced the way it’s done these days. We cannot commend you and your team too highly for the professional and sympathetic manner in which you have held our hands both as sellers and buyers. As agents for both our tightly time-constrained sale and purchase transactions you truly delivered the full service. The great team culture clearly evident in your office, the advice on the process and the input to the preparation of our current property are all factors indicative of your commitment to getting results. Our sincere thanks to you personally and our slice of your Ray White team – Terry and Diana, Suzie and Craig. Sincerely Kirsty and Robin Beckett

Dear Megan, We would like to thank you and your team for the outstanding work and great result we had in selling our home. This was particularly difficult for us in that I was in London during the entire marketing and selling process. However, you kept both Rita (in Auckland) and I (in London) fully informed during the process, and I also particularly appreciated that you were free to take calls from me at any time. The marketing plan, photography and advertising of our home was of the highest standard. And, through your connections, obtaining a front page feature article in the Herald Homes Magazine was an added and very pleasing bonus. Rita was primarily in contact with you, and she really appreciated your openness and honesty of advice and also your willingness to listen to our needs and requirements. Thank you again and to all at Ray White who were involved in selling our home. With kind regards Peter and Rita Reid
