D Walker
22 May 2019
“Tracey & Trevor were friendly and helpful, going well above what I would have expected from an estate agent - even to strategising to manage our family disagreements and rancour, and Tracey helping with last-minute tidying of the kitchen when I got the time of an open home wrong and had to hustle! They were professional and continued to do their absolute best for us when things went a bit wonky at the last hurdle, which called for quite a bit more work than expected. Tracey listened well and gave good advice based on what she'd heard. She excelled at asking for our feedback on everything she proposed to do, such as wording of the flyers, even though there were three trustees with only me in Rangiora and with my sister in Australia.”

I met the Petersen's when I purchased my current home. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other prospective clients. Absolutely grateful for what was taken care of from the advertising budget to the efficiency and incredibly pleasant and professional manner of Tracey and Trev and the company in general. You nailed it!”

“Tracey sold my place when I bought it 4yrs ago & even then I was totally amazed at her professionalism, her excellent communication skills, her truthfulness & advice. I always told her that I would use her services again when I next came to sell! I have been true to my word! When I signed up she & her now husband Trev came together to visit me as a team. They were thorough, friendly yet businesslike, told me just how the market was at that time for selling, were not at all pushy, were enthusiastic & totally on the ball. I never went to another company as I liked them so much I had no need to!! Trev held my open days & did a great job too. He always communicated with me straight after the event to tell me any updates....I liked that!! I would not hesitate to refer them as a team to anyone else selling & I have in fact done just that recently ...I was so impressed by them! They are a great couple & work so well together....they deserve any sale they get & I wish them all the very best!!”

“Tracey was fantastic to work with and she really pulled the whole deal together when there were delays from the purchaser's end.

We saved thousands of $ in commission! Tracey's appraisal was spot on and we were happy with the final price we got. Would definitely recommend Tracey to anyone looking to sell.”

“Tracey is an excellent agent. Although we knew she was a busy person, we never felt she was rushed or hurried in any way. As this was the first time we have sold a home in New Zealand the process was daunting, and Tracey answered all our questions very efficiently. A fact that stands out is that she is very fair to both purchaser and seller, something we did not experience when we bought this property. She is an honest person, a quality that isn't generally associated with Real Estate Agents! On a personal level we enjoyed the times she came to our home as we always felt that we were the only people she was 'working' for, yet we know she leads a very busy life. She is 'unrushed' and 'unhurried.' We have nothing but thanks and praise for Tracey, and would recommend her to anyone wanting to sell a property. We rate her as an Exceptional Agent!”
