Client testimonials
Richard was great to work with - he had excellent knowledge of the local market, took the time to talk us through the process and helped us get the house ready to sell. I really appreciated his proactive communication and his tweaking of sales comms to generate more interest. We were very happy with the result and would highly recommend Richard to anyone who is thinking about selling in the Whangārei area.
Richard was always available. He listened and responded totally professionally and appropriately. I chose him to sell my Whangarei property because I had previoulsy experienced his efficiency and courtesy when I bought it.
We've worked with Richard Lyon twice - first when we bought our home in Whangarei, and again this year when we needed to sell it in a pretty tough market. Both times he was fantastic to deal with. Despite the low market, Richard managed to get us a better price than we were expecting, which was a great outcome. He was always super responsive, even with us being 12 hours behind, and we really appreciated his honesty throughout the whole process. Overall, Richard is a reliable, professional, and genuinely great agent. We'd happily recommend him to anyone buying or selling in Whangarei.
