Exceptional experience listing and selling with John in an auction campaign. Great communication, John gave recommendations prior to listing and we carried out all of the recommendations from exterior painting, tree removal and presentation. Throughout this time John visted numerous times and checked in on the progress. Our marketing package included video and NZ Herald we were impressed with the outcome and number of people viewed. It was a successful campaign and highly recommend John for professional, honest, realistic approach and great communication.

John, was exceptional! John went above and beyond week in week out I invited John to carry out an appraisal on my property and although our relationship dates back as collegues he was extremely professional. He gave advice and recommendations to make the property more appealing. Which we carried out every recommendation possible. We agreed on an auction process. He rang me weekly up to track our progress and was a great support throughout the whole time visiting many times with more recommendations.

John was very up front with his advice we sought on marketing our lifestyle property at Port Albert . From the get go John told us what we could do to make our property appealing to potential buyers ,including paint touch-ups ,garden presentation and general tidy up required , without being too demanding. Follow up discussion after each open home was comprehensive and helpful . Thanks again John for the successful marketing and sale of our home. We have no trouble recommending Bayleys and John to anyone seeking that personal but professional service.

They were both very helpful, kept us very well informed on the process and gave us really good advice on getting the property ready for sale. They achieved a sale in 5 weeks when we had been on the market for 3 years with other companies. So we are very happy and would highly recommend them to anybody.

John Barnett of Bayleys in the North, did well to keep a positive attitude over the years I’ve dealt with him. He stuck in there and satisfied a rather difficult vendor in the end. Well done John.
