“Awesome experience with Dean, we got the right person for our project of selling 2 properties. Dean is totally professional in all ways. He is a very good communicator. We are from Christchurch and we spoke a lot over the phone and met on site once. He was able to assist in getting the properties dressed and also mini make over in preparation to sell. Dean you were awesome, wish we had more to sell. Loved his style, frankness, integrity and humour. Probably the best real estate agent I have dealt with in 30 years of buying and selling properties.”

We made contact with Dean who immediately got the ball rolling. We felt totally comfortable with Dean from the outset, and he explained everything in detail as we went through the process. We had a quick outcome with multiple offers received. Dean was honest and always reliable. We thoroughly recommend Dean to others looking to sell, and in turn to your company.””

“Dean has boundless energy, a friendly personality, and is a pleasure to do business with. Dean conducts himself in a very professional manner. He also pays a lot of attention to detail and focuses on ensuring legal requirements are met by all parties. Dean has now helped us purchase and sell separate properties. On both occasions he put his heart and soul into keeping things moving along, ensuring everybody is kept well informed, and achieving a fair price for both parties. Dean 'goes the extra mile' and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody wanting to either purchase or sell a property.”
