Client testimonials

Slide 1 of 14

I was continually amazed at the effort and work Irene put into her job. She was very attentive to liaising with me at every step, I always felt I was in good hands.

Anne Buchanan

We couldn't have asked for a better agent. Irene worked very hard for us, we had lots of viewings and we ended with a good sale. She is so professional and such a lovely person.

Terence and Elizabeth Anne Greening

I would highly recommend Irene to anyone who is purchasing or selling real estate in the bay of islands. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and will make the whole process very easy and stress free. Irene has been super helpful, she definitely goes over and above her regular duties.

Nayna Manu & Richard Schaefer

For my husband and I finding Irene was like a dream come true. She was honest and hardworking, constantly open to trying different tactics and ultimately very successful. She has a lovely soft easy, manner but is firm and strong when she fights your corner. You could not choose a better agent.

Colleen and Geoffrey John Simpson

Loved her straightforwardness and her assistance to make and close the deal. She was excellent with communicating status and progress. I purchased through Irene and I would not hesitate to sell with her as my agent

Bernard Flynn

Irene got our house sold very quickly and for the price we wanted. She was 100% on communication and efficiency and we enjoyed working with her. We will happily recommend her in the future.

Phillipa and John Buchanan

Irene Bremner deserves a 10 plus rating. Such a talent with selling homes. Irene also gives the vendor the terrific nurturing needed when a little care, support and advice is so appreciated at such a stressful time. Her knowledge of residential and waterfront properties is superb. This lady is an absolute delight to work with, not only from my position as a vendor but also with the many possible purchaser's she is able to attract to a property. Irene has this delightful infectious personality that most people find so comfortable and that is priceless. With this sales consultant on your side you will sell a property and you will have new doors open for you.

Shelley Dobrec

Irene worked very hard to achieve a sale on a property which has been on the market for over two years. She communicated well and made the whole process very easy. Anonymous.

Bill Sanderson

Irene was easy to talk to and knowledgeable about the Russell area. She kept us informed of recent sales and helped us achieve a great result.

Craign and Jane Adams

Great to deal with and as we came up against some issues Irene worked her way through them to come up with a great result for everyone. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Dean & Cynthia Greaney

Irene gave us a 100% service with 100% attention at all times. We have in fact, already referred potential clients to Irene. She is a good person.

Paulus & Lorraine Blignaut

Irene helped us to negotiate the sale of our late parents’ family home. It was a difficult time for us and she gave us compassion and professionalism. Her quiet, laid back approach allowed prospective buyers to make up their own minds without pressure. Her communication was excellent, the marketing plan was clear and concise and made sense. She gave us prompt updates on her follow up of inquiries and viewings. Would we recommend Irene to sell your property? Absolutely yes. Karin Drake

Karin Drake

Irene has been the most capable real estate person I have ever had dealings with. Understanding & patient helpful beyond our expectations. John Hannon.

John Hannon

This is just a short note to thank you once again for the wonderful professional and friendly service that you have given to our family here in Parekura Bay. In the last five years or so you have sourced two excellent houses for us and you have also sold my sons house near Rawhiti. Each one of these three transactions has been to our complete satisfaction. Always pleasurable and so well executed without any unpleasant hitches or surprises. Irene you always seem to instinctively know what we variously need as both a buyer and as a seller. You have displayed the highest ethical and professional standards for which we thank you once again
