Lin is straight up about what he or his vendors will do. Organised with his paperwork.

Lin is great to work with. Honest and reliable and happy to do the hard yards in what is a fairly tough market

He was a gentleman to deal with, appreciated his old school style.

Having known the agents for a number of years, we had trust in the recommended marketing campaign that the auction process would bring out the best the market had to offer. Lin & Tracy's weekly reports detailed the activity and inquiry ensuring we were well-informed and confident in our decision-making with the auctioneer. That trust was rewarded with a sale under the hammer - a fantastic result far exceeding our expectations. Highly recommended!

Another great result thanks to your hard work, knowledge and professionalism. It’s always a pleasure working with you. Thanks again.

It was a great pleasure working with Lin, he helped us every step of the way, answering questions, pointing us in the right direction and talking us through the purchase process. Very happy with the way it went and the outcome. 10/10

Another successful sale for the Webb Bros. It is very rewarding to get a good sale. Many thanks.

Our family cannot recommend your agency's service high enough. From the outset and initial meeting right through to the successful sale and conclusion the process and interaction has been outstanding.

Lin delivered a fast sale whilst keeping to our brief of no advertising and less than a month to have an offer presented. He went the extra mile and more to allow the sale to proceed whilst being easy to talk to and very quick to respond to emails and phone calls. We would highly recommend Lin to anyone and use his services again if the need arose. Thanks again

I wanted to take the opportunity, to say how much we appreciated the clarity and attention to detail during the writing of the S & P agreement, the experience here was far from pleasant. We have often said how unfair it seems in some way that you did the most work of all the agents we dealt with and you didn’t get the sale.

This is to record that I feel extremely pleased and lucky to have dealt with Lin Norris of 'Bayleys', regarding a recent and prolonged property purchase. Throughout the process I have been treated with utmost courtesy, professionalism and patience. I have dealt mainly with Alex Smits on a personal basis . He has gone out of his way during protracted negotiations to be helpful in every aspect and provide me with detail and all information requested. He has been prepared to enthusiastically and cheerfully spend significant time visiting the farm on numerous occasions, meeting the vendor and showing us around extensive extra land that was relevant to the transaction. I can say unequivocally that it has been a pleasure dealing with Alex and Lin and that they epitomise to me the traditional professional and trustworthy agents that are rare to find. I sincerely consider that Bayleys have two outstanding and exceptional agents in Northland that I hope I can also do business with in future years.

Lin was really helpful and kept us in the loop the whole way through. Would definitely recommend him as an agent.

Lin had an excellent IM, was extremely efficient, had knowledge about farming and made the transaction very easy. 10/10

Honest straight shooter. Reliable and trustworthy, and knows his business.

Lin kept us informed throughout the process and made our decision easy

Mr Reliable — honest and straight-shooting

It is a great pleasure for us to write this reference for Lin Norris. An agent's role is to support the vendor but I think Lin recognises that in order to do this properly you need to have the confidence of the purchaser. Lin has our full confidence. He has accurately critiqued all of the properties he has shown us. We have felt more like students of farming rather than the client of a real estate agent. After several years of looking Lin has recently assisted us in the purchase of both a 100 ha lifestyle block /subdivision in Waipu and a 350ha farm on the Kaipara harbour. After purchase of the Waipu property he helped us to clear the subdivision property of gorse and in the case of the Kaipara property he was able to engineer a superb arrangement whereby we retained a highly skilled manager and equity partner on the farm. Over the years we have flagged a number of other properties with him and he has counselled me why we should avoid some. In both cases where we purchased he approached us directly and suggested that the properties were ones that we should consider. Were it not for Lin we would just be some Auckland professional dreamers hoping to own a farm. We are instead very satisfied purchasers who have been very well matched to our needs.
