“Selling with Total Realty was a fantastic experience. Tracey was proactive, communicative, and genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for us. She kept us informed regularly and made the process smooth and stress-free, especially since we were handling everything from Wellington. Tracey’s personal attention, advice, and hands-on help with staging and clearing the property made a big difference. The fixed commission was great value, and the whole team’s support was outstanding. We highly recommend Tracey and Total Realty to anyone selling their home.”
Vivek
“Honesty on every aspect of the proposed sale including Total Realty's commission on completion. Claire conducted the sale with total professionalism. Open honest feedback every step of the way, very much a 5 Star journey throughout. Highly recommend Total Realty.”
Brian
“From the initial appraisal to the final signing and possession date and hand over of keys, Karen was thorough, professional and a pleasure to work with. We felt privileged to have her represent us. We felt she was courteous and professional with any prospective purchasers. Karen's sales experience, market knowledge and personality made the house sale experience a great one for us. We thoroughly recommend Karen Johansson and Total Realty to anyone contemplating selling or purchasing real estate.”
Lindsay
“We have sold with Total Realty a couple of times now - always great service. Claire was approachable and so friendly which is why we signed up with Total Realty. Claire was very easy to deal with at every point of the sale.”
Jenny
“Thank God for Total Realty with their low 1.5% commission rate, how lucky are we to have that option to choose from now in Invercargill. Without Claire Campbell we are not sure this move would be possible. We highly recommend Claire Campbell to be your agent. The whole process with Claire was quick and efficient, she truly cares about you. From the very start to the very end she is with you all the way making sure everything is running smoothly. Thank you so much Claire and Total Realty.”
Wayne
“The Agents personal track record, high level of commitment, the cost in a tight market and overall presence of the brand in the market. Tony was great and very obliging.”
Christopher
“I like your logo "Top Quality Service At A Fairer Rate" and that is what I feel I have received from your company and your agent. I have dealt with a number of other real estate agencies in NZ and found there fees to be very expensive so 1.5% commission to me was very attractive. Secondly, I had heard good reports about Tracey's professionalism and service, so I asked her to do an appraisal on my property and felt happy with her approach and attention to detail which included my needs. Tracey has been very helpful and supportive during this whole process and I appreciate the fact that I have remained in charge and have not, at any time felt pressured.”
Elaine
“We found Wayne Magee to be very informative and reassuring about the current market in our area. Wayne's professionalism with his photography of our property was outstanding. Wayne kept us well informed with all aspects of the sale of our property. We are very grateful to Wayne and Total Realty for a job well done.”
Anthony
“Selling with Claire Campbell at Total Realty was simply the best choice I made for myself and my property. Total Realty fees are super reasonable and I felt I really got value for my listing. Claire Campbell gave me a honest appraisal and came up with several options for me to list my property, she was gentle but professional in her explanations, I felt as if she allowed me to choose, whilst giving me guidance. Total Realty produced an exceptional outcome with swift timing and a seamless settlement. I have had an outstanding experience, topped off with a thoughtful quality gift personally delivered to me by Claire herself on settlement date. Thank you Claire & Total Realty.”
Ruth
“We sold our mother's property in Kaiapoi 2 years ago through Total Realty and were very happy with the results. We are very satisfied with the result this time as well. Russell was great.”
Sue
“Paul and Annika are very professional to deal with. They helped find and organise a staging company for me and kept me up to date after the open homes. I would definitely recommend them and Total Realty to all my family and friends. The commission was much better with Total Realty and I didn't see the other real estate agents offer me more than what Total Realty did in the way of marketing and service.”
Heather
“I have sold previously with Trev & Tracey so I trusted them to do a great job again. The lower commission is a bonus as well. Tracey and Trev made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Great communication and advice throughout. They were given a short timeframe and bad weather and still managed an exceptional end result. They guided me through the auction process and ensured it was stress free and exciting. Their auctioneer was also very skilled and knowledgeable.”
Melissa
“We have sold 3 times before with Total Realty and found the agents a pleasure to deal with, kept you well informed, nothing was a problem. A great experience could not have asked for a better agent.”
David & Trudy Harkess
“Total Realty offers more than their competitors with affordable commission rates, staff that are diligent and committed to their field to both the vendor and the purchaser. Bron was exceptional. My sale was exceptionally difficult because of the defective lease/title but Bron supported me with going beyond what was needed by contacting the council and consistently communicating every step of the process. I was able to stay focused and remain calm as Bron remained committed to see the sale eventuate. The best decision was choosing Bron. I am very happy and would recommend Total Realty A+”
Becks
“As usual we've had a great experience selling with Total Realty. The reason for choosing Total Realty is because of Di and the good package she put together for us. We have known Di for a very long time and all our properties were sold by her. We totally trust her and we wouldn't choose any other real estate agent for this matter.”
Vasile
“My property took some time to sell. Tracey and Trevor were constantly looking at any opportunity to initiate the sale. Service is excellent.”
Lynette
“From the moment we listed with Raewyn and Meg we knew we made the right decision to list with them. The open communication throughout the whole process was second to none and the effort they went through to get the sale over the line was incredible. Well and truly went above and beyond in our eyes. Thanks again ladies.”
Nathan
“Raewyn maintained a warm, friendly and professional approach throughout the process which made selling a smooth and positive experience. She has excellent communication skills and a wide range of industry knowledge. She kept us up to speed and well-informed for every step along the way. It was a joy and a pleasure to work with her!”
Nigel
“From the start Raewyn and Meg have been very professional. I've been kept up to date with the weekly reports. All in all a great experience. I would recommend Total Realty to anyone who is thinking of selling their house.”
Garry
“I liked Karen's attitude. Simple, well priced.”
