“Right from the start we are impressed with Phil. Starting with his punctuality and ability to work around our time schedules due to work and kids. He never seemed phased with coming out after our kids were in bed. Phil never gave us unreal expectations about price and also he gave us great information regarding what we needed to do and didn't need to do to sell the house. He worked with each offer easily and with a minimum of fuss and took all our comments seriously. Finally he got us what we were wanting for our house and handled the offer and then the contract etc efficiently even though it was right on Christmas! Cheers Phil for a great service”

“The low fees was a huge draw-card. Also when Rachel came to do the appraisal I felt an immediate rapport with her and felt she was the person we wanted selling our house and I cannot speak highly enough of the service she provided and of how she conducted herself throughout the sale process. Our experience selling with Total Realty was more than we could have hoped for. The whole experience was made very easy. Everything was well communicated right throughout the whole process by Rachel. With not being active in the housing market for some time and with things changing around the selling process post earthquake, Total Realty and Rachel just made selling our house so much easier than we thought it was going to be and we are very thankful for that.”

After meeting Rachel to discuss selling my house, she immediately filled me with confidence answering questions I didn't even know I had. She showed an amazing knowledge of the industry and process, work ethic, highly organised, one step ahead and a great interpersonal skills. She perfectly blended honest advise but empathizing with my situation. I have felt a lot of confidence in Rachel and the company as the important details and steps were very well explained leaving no surprises.

A Walton & H Phillips

“Absolutely pain free right from the beginning. Rachel is an experienced sales women her cheerfulness and kindness towards others is not found so much in real estate agents these days. If Rachel said she was going to do something it was done without delay. Her immediate response to text messages and emails was extremely appreciated by us. Although our property sold very quickly Rachel handed decision making without giving her view on what we should or should not do. Rachel is a special woman if you need a good honest real estate agent then she’s the one for you.”

“I expect a good service and Phil met with my expectations. I want to be able to make decisions with good guidance from an agent. I expect that an agent will keep me informed with what’s going on, good and bad, and I expect to have my phone calls answered or for reply’s to my messages. Phil is great at all these things. Value for money is important, and I felt Phil puts in the effort, and is a pleasure to work with. I would have no problems working with Phil again, and I would highly recommend him.”

Within a week or so, we were on the market and then within a few days, we were advised they had 3 interested parties to look through our property. They visited that same night with 2 offers and within 6 days from going on the market, we had an unconditional contract. We were absolutely stunned on how quick this all happened and cannot commend Brenda and Kaye enough on how extremely efficient they were and how well informed they kept us throughout the entire process. We will certainly be recommending them to anyone we know wishing to sell who wants an agent who is efficient, well organised and offers a great commission rate.”

“Mark Ford is an exceptional real estate agent. He is knowledgeable, offers outstanding service and is very professional. Mark is assisted at the open days by Chris, a skilled photographer who photos highlighted the best of our home. We have sold two properties with Mark, he solved the problems, sorted the difficulties and was always working for our side of the sale. There is none better, we consider Mark to be the best agent in Dunedin. Duplicate Mark!”
A & S Mitchell
11 Nov 2019
“Russell provided me with a realistic appraisal and an achievable sales strategy. Our goal was to sell the property within a 4 weeks timeframe. We had previously tried to sell the property through another agent who provided a unrealistic high selling range to support their marketing costs and auction strategy. As soon as the property hit the market they then tried to talk us down in price to meet the market. With Russell we met the market from day one and only needed one open home to receive an acceptable offer. Could not be more happy with the advise and service we received.”
K De Ray Orton & R Croft

“Alison and Mike Pettet were fantastic. They are lovely people. We had previously tried to sell the house with another agency about 18 months prior and it was a terrible experience and left us out of pocket $5k and an unsold house with broken promises and lies. Alison and Mike were honest, reliable and straight shooters from the get go. They sold our house in 1 week and we are happy with what we got for it. Couldn't give them a higher recommendation if we tried.”

Rachel was professional, respectful, and gave me good suggestions about marketing the property, which made very good sense, and ultimately proved correct. We had an excellent sales result, after the first open home. Excellent and professional service, easily as good as any other Real Estate firm, at under half the cost. Brilliant!”

“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 have never had that before in all my years of selling houses. Apart from being a very professional agent I got on well with him and considered him more like a friend.

“Heather backed up her appraisal with examples of other sales in the area. She made helpful suggestions regarding preparing the house for sale. She was tactful and effective dealing with our difficult tenant. The sales process seemed to bog down due to miscommunication between the buyer and the buyer's lawyer. Heather was very helpful and reassuring during this process.... AND she got us a good price. Everyone in the office was pleasant and welcoming when I needed to drop in.”

We were absolutely delighted with the fabulous photographs taken to market our property and which we later heard are what grabbed our buyers attention. We also greatly appreciated the extra effort given to assist our buyer with his insurance, ensuring a smooth selling and buying process. Just as a little footnote; we are both mindful about the waste of resources and the impact of this on our environment. Thank you for finding ways to market properties effectively, while also minimising waste of materials. Thank you so much Marc and Wendy.

Easy and efficient. Great communication throughout the whole process and a very trusting experience.”

He was honest about what we needed to do to make the house look as good as it could, and was great about organising access for anyone that needed it. We had an offer two days after the first open home which we were very happy to accept! We would highly recommend Matt and would be very happy to use him again.”
K & P Mcinnes
27 Feb 2019
“Our property is a bit out of the way and slightly quirky, so there were never going to be a big crowd of buyers out there. Gerry kept in touch, continuously updating us as to progress or otherwise. It's tough to tell customers bad news but it has to be done and Gerry gave us truthful information as he saw it whether good or bad. He assisted with turning on power and water supplies prior to open homes in order to save us unnecessary travel to the property. He was very persistent in pursuit of potential buyers and in the end it all came good. I'm sure there are times when a property sells quick and it's easy all round but Gerry worked hard for this one and deserves all credit. He has an easy-going nature and is easy to get along with but he knows the business and any advice he gives is usually worth taking.”

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!!”

Later in the year my husband and I made the big decision to move to Australia once over here we decided not to rent but to sell, so selling a property when based overseas was a scary thought, we contacted Matt and he was more then happy to help, it has been a stressful experience at times, but Matt went above and beyond to help reduce that stress for us and we will highly recommend him to any of our friends or family in Christchurch.”

I was impressed with their honesty and integrity, their hard work over a period when houses were not moving quickly. They achieved a sale within a couple of months with a satisfactory outcome for me.”

“Nigel contacted me within 15 minutes of me emailing through an enquiry. Immediately I got the sense that Nigel was experienced, professional and would be supportive as this was our first time selling a house. We were recommended Total Realty by our mortgage broker. The 1% commission was a huge advantage too. Furthermore, having engaged with a number of other companies whilst attending open homes, we cant say we were that impressed by the professionalism of other companies. Excellent experience with Total Realty, cant believe how stressless, professional and quick the whole process was. Our house was under offer after the first open home. Nigel took care of the whole process and we totally trusted in him to do so.”

We respect their honesty and the fact that they never tried to give us over inflated prices like other agents gave us to try and clinch the sale. They kept us informed throughout the whole process of selling our home. An important point to us was that they never pressured us in any way and were respectful of our preferences. They made the whole process smooth and pleasant in what is often said to be a stressful time in peoples lives.”

“We had appraisals from two other agencies but we didn't feel like they were the right people to sell our house. On meeting Mary-Ann we knew straight away that she was the right real estate lady to sell our property and we told her there and then. We couldn't have asked for a better real estate salesperson. Mary-Ann is friendly, professional and very thorough. Not only did she sell our house quickly but she also got us a very good sale price. She is great at communicating and kept us regularly informed on what was going on. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you for everything.”

He also negotiated with the buyers as much as he could to get me the best price for the house when the LIM and builders report came back with issues in them.”
N Sayer

“We were very happy with the way that Heather said she would promote the property and that she pro-actively followed up on people who said they would or might make an offer but actually didn't do so. Given that ours was a somewhat unusual property we felt that Heather made a really good job of selling it and we were very happy with her as an agent.”
J & L Daly

“After meeting Hazel we knew we had to have her as our agent. We felt she really listened and understood our situation. We had met with 5+ agents before (a few of which were 1%) and had left meeting feeling deflated and stressed. Hazel communicated with us through the whole process and had such positivity which we needed through such an emotional, stressful situation. Our house sold quicker than we expected and for exactly what we wanted despite other agents telling us it wasn't possible. We would recommend to anyone.”

They listened to us and communicated all information and details of the paperwork and process well. We believe they worked with us in every way possible (including helping us find the company who dressed our property for sale) so we felt they were definitely working for us as the Vendor. We would have no hesitation in using their services again and will have no problem recommending them to family and friends in the future. Thanks guys!”

We know we have happy buyers, and we are extremely happy sellers thanks to her. We welcomed our advertising refund due to our quick sale. Cheers!”

“Total Realty charges a much more reasonable commission, especially for those selling their first home. Plus, they have an excellent reputation, great sales records, and experienced staff. I had multiple agents coming through this house to give appraisals. We're moving overseas and needed a definite sale, but with a good price. When you're selling your first home in a flat market, it's a bit much to ask that you pay $18,000 in real estate agent fees, especially when you're making a huge move. Total Realty proved to be the smartest option for us. Mary-Ann was fantastic - professional, experienced, and quick to sell our house. It was under offer after the first open home, and at a price we liked. More people need to use this company. They are truly sensational. Thank you, Mary-Ann, and thank you Total Realty!”

We enjoyed being in control of the sale process and having an agent who always worked for our benefit and having our best interests at heart.”

I was selling my mothers flat because she had moved into a rest home so I was feeling pretty emotional and he totally made me feel at ease. I signed up and was totally impressed with Marks service, his total continuing communication and he was quite honestly so great to deal with that I would not deal with anyone else in the future. He never wasted time with silly offers. The flat sold in ultra quick time and I was rapt with the price, it exceeded my expectations”

“Choosing the right agent makes a huge difference to the total experience and I can wholeheartedly recommend Alison and Mike. They listened to my experience of living in the home, which translated well to the marketing of the property. Communication was timely; honest and positive. A sale was achieved very quickly and negotiations were concluded with integrity and skill. The sale result was both above, and within parameters of more expensive agencies, and I believe a higher price would simply have been swallowed up in higher commissions and potentially would have taken much longer to achieve. I believe that the result was a win/ win for all parties. The difference in my experience with Alison and Mike was less expense; less stress; and effective and successful negotiations completed within a week. They have restored my faith in the real estate business.”

I was keen to get a certain price and offered as an incentive a monetary bonus once that target had been reached. To my astonishment he gracefully refused and said he would get the best price . He delivered and surassed my expectations . I am pleased with the decision to go with this company and in particular the work he did on my behalf. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and would definitely use them again in a sale or purchase situation .”

They deliver exactly what they say there going to. They constantly kept in touch with me in regards to Trade Me report's, purchaser feedback. When needing to communicate, they always promptly replied. My experience with Total Realty is that in a time where finance's are tight and selling a house is an expensive exercise, Total Realty have a very reasonable commission compared to other agents. Yet the experience I had with Total Realty was as good if not better, saving me thousands of dollars. The service is just as good.”

Victoria Robertson
21 Sep 2017
“We previously had our property on the market with a different agency who seemed to lose interest as time went on which made us get very discouraged, once their time was up we decided to call Matt to market our property. Matt came around and instantly we noticed the professional difference. We filled out all the forms required straight away, So Matt had all the information on hand (this had not happened with our other real estate agent) and we were very impressed. Matt's attitude and positive energy made us get excited about selling our house again and gave us hope. Matt did his first open home and got two offers straight away, we couldn't believe it after having a month of nobody coming to them we were gobsmacked. One open home with Matt is all it took to sell our home. We only wish we had not been talked into going with another agent who wasted our money and time and went with Matt from the start. I can not thank Matt enough and recommend him to anyone selling their home.”

He was the right level of personality to sell our townhouse & had good strategies for marketing. He kept us well informed at all stages of the process & was there to reassure us during the uncertainty of the 'conditional' stage of the sale. We were very grateful for his support. He has felt like more of a friend than our Salesperson & is always ready to help with enthusiasm. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Total realty & Nigel to anyone selling their property. Thanks to all at Total realty for making our sale so quick & easy.”

“Russell is an exceptional agent. A straight shooter who is all about the vendor. I never felt like a pay check and at all times I felt Russell was in my corner ready to help. Apart from the services you expect from a Real Estate Agent Russell many times exceeded by expectations. When my vacuum cleaner broke Russell would drive across town to lend me his personal vacuum cleaner, not just once but for the whole duration of the open home. If I was ever running late for my open home Russell was there helping with mopping the kitchen or vacuuming the floors. I did not have to ask he just volunteered. Even on moving day Russell pitched in to help me load furniture onto the trailer. So in short I am blown away by experience. Would use Russell again in a heartbeat.”

“As first time sellers we felt well supported and that communication was easy and that we were kept in the loop. We felt like David was able to answer all of our questions clearly and simply. We had a few challenges selling our home as some of the insurance policies had changed since the earthquakes, David helped to keep things moving and offered us great advice. In the end we only needed one open home, as we had five offers after this. Due to the competition generated we feel we got a good price and were happy with the whole process. When you have small children having just one open home is a really positive experience :) At the closure of the process we were given a lovely book with our homes photos in it - we were really blessed by this, a lovely personal touch. We would definitely choose Total Realty again in the future.”

Even though we were getting views, we weren't getting the offers. It was a stressful time as my husband and I had moved to Twizel by February without the house selling. We had a piece of land in Twizel, ready to build, but couldn't make a start until the house in Christchurch was sold. Karen kept us always informed, gave us feedback and persevered every week. She kept us positive and we 'soldiered on' and thankfully right at the last minute we got that offer which Karen worked very hard to get the price we were happy to accept. We couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Karen you are a true asset to the Total Realty family.”

Daniel & Jacqueline Broughton

“We have now bought and sold 15 residential properties through the fifty years of our married life. All these except the last have been through high profile, high cost real estate agents. Greg handled the last one for us and was equal to or better than any of the previous high profile agents we have used and we saved over eight thousand dollars compared to the commission and other costs quoted us by the other agent who appraised it. (Who's recommended selling price was ten thousand dollers less incidentally) We appreciated Gregs straight talking manner coupled with a very high level of knowledge and professionalism. He worked hard at his open homes and showed many people through by appoinment at other times as well. It is not our intention to sell again, but should that change we certainly will be using Greg and Total Realty.”
Margaret & Philip Walton

“My experience is that Total Realty provided everything that is needed to market the property and secure a sale given the sophistication of and access to the internet our country now has. A 3.95% agent would have to achieve a significantly higher sale price to obtain the same return to the vendor and I think most purchasers would not want that.”

Mark came back with the highest estimate (we were uncertain we would reach this price)The commission rate was very attractive compared to other companies and Mark was confident with our pricing in the current market. We accepted an offer after our first open home - well in excess of the asking price! Throughout the rest of the process, which was slightly drawn out due to us waiting on the purchasers to sell their home, Mark was in contact with updates on a regular basis. This included over the Christmas holidays when Mark was out of the country on holiday! I can't rave enough about the great customer service we received and will be using Mark again in any future real estate ventures. He is a "Total" asset to your company - thanks Mark for an outstanding effort and some very satisfied vendors.”

“Hazel has a lovely warm and friendly personality. After a very negative house selling experience a number of years ago with a high commission agency Dad was reluctant and hesitant to go there again. Listing with Total Realty offered us a simple, fast and efficient service with an amazing outcome after only 1 open home. A very positive experience and thoroughly recommend. Alison Nystad”

“My experience of selling with Total Realty was great - the process went smoothly, the agent was incredibly thoughtful, skilled, organised, and exceptionally professional. And, added to that, we only needed to have one open home to sell! I was really impressed with the agent's knowledge of the market and advice about how best to market my property. Tony was both very realistic about the strengths and limitations of my property and that helped me prepare for the open home and also to make decisions about marketing. I have sold several houses before, but this is my first time with Total Realty and it was by far the easiest and most professional process. I think that it is now a case of 'once you go Black (and orange), you never go back.'”

In particular, Barry and Nicole instantly gained my respect and trust, with their professional manner, knowledge and the time they took to listen to me. They actively kept me informed, provided well grounded advice and their negotiation skills would be hard to match. My recommendation comes high and is given solely so that others may benefit from this teams hard work and genuine passion to get you top dollar.”

My only issue, which only bothered me and not my husband was that Rob seemed to go away every public holiday weekend, so it meant a couple of weekends we didn't have open homes...but I'm all fairness we didn't mind having a couple weeks off as we have 3 small children and open homes every weekend was tough!”

Lijia Ma
24 May 2016
“We had complete confidence in Mark that he knew the market value of our property. I think that is the key because you don't want your property to be overpriced and then miss that first flurry of interest. I'm a big fan of the 'negotiable over' pricing of a property, great to give buyers a starting point that's acceptable to the vendor if that's the best that the market ends up offering but room to go higher if the interest is there. In both cases Mark got our properties sold within a week or two of listing and a sale price above what we hoped for. Great guy to deal with, friendly and professional and really does know the market.”
Michael & Madalaina Kwant
21 May 2016

Three extensions later and a lot of ground work undergone we had our sale. 10/10 would totally use again! Thanks Kyle + Liz”

“Marc and Wendy are very professional. They have been selling for a long time not only through Total Realty but other agencies so they know all the in's and out's of the job. They weren't pushy like other agents and they did what was required in a good time frame when they had to visit or ring up. Everything was positive and they made you feel more relaxed if you were getting worried or didn't know something. Buying our other house (through another agency) wasn't a very good experience and Marc and Wendy guided us through this too as well as selling our house. The lovely phone calls and emails helped a lot. I don't know when they get any sleep!! They sold our house in a week. One open home only :-)”

“Karen is a friendly down to earth woman who made you feel at ease. and what we love about Total is you get the service without the price tag of other agencies. I back 1%. I hate the myth of you don't get the same service as higher percent companies. I should know I used to work for one. And if I went back to real estate I would be ringing you up to work.”

“We successfully sold our Christchurch property through Total Realty several years earlier and when the time came to sell again in the North Canterbury region, we approached Russell Hume. From our first meeting with Russell, we were very impressed with his attitude and in-depth knowledge he had of the industry, which is demonstrated by his impressive sales records and testimonials. The service we received from Russell was faultless and his friendly and honest approach made the stressful process of selling a house quite enjoyable! His communication was excellent and he was readily available throughout the process to offer valuable advice, which resulted in a successful sale. We will definitely use Total Realty in the future and will be highly recommending Russell. Thank you so much. Warner & Shelley Breitmeyer”

“I have found Total Reality certainly as good as the best of the Real Estate firms in Rangiora (having sold 5 properties in the last few years) and Barry & Nicole possibly the leading agents in the area. We have now listed two properties with Barry in the last 18mths and both times we have had acceptable offers on the table within the first week so one would have no grounds to complain on that track record. I believe the systems employed by Total to give sound property value advise and not influenced in the desire to purchase a listing so to speak followed by sound marketing achieve positive results for their vendors. As long as Barry and Nicole are in your team I would not look to go anywhere else.”
Ian Mcgregor & Vicki Turnbull

“My husband was determined to sell privately so after 10 weeks of no bites I convinced him to use a real estate agent, he was not keen but agreed. I got Marc & Wendy around and they gave us their appraisal and explained how they would market our property along with how much it would cost. We felt very comfortable with them straight away and signed up that night. Not only did they sell our home very quickly but we got more than what we were asking selling privately, they got us through the legal difficulties of selling (especially in Christchurch) through to handover of keys. If you are reading this and want to get a reliable agent that works for you then choose Marc & Wendy from Total Realty, they are fantastic and I would highly recommend them, more importantly my husband would.”

“We used agent Karen Johansson. The greatest thing that stood out for us with Karen was the way she was always available and on call for our many questions. Selling and buying a house can be the most stresfull time for most people but Karen nevr missed one of our calls and offered good, sound advice which made the selling and buying process so much less stresfull. I am convinced that had she not been there when we needed her this process would have been stressful for us. Instead, we were able to sell our house within a week and buy another house and enjoy the process knowing full well Karen had everything under control. Her communication was appreciated and we will be recommending her, and Total Realty to others looking at buying or selling.”

“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!”

“Whether we were just lucky or had an awesome new property to sell Hazel hit the spot for sure. The house was on the market for less than a week before it was sold. The couple had been searching 18 months so not easy to please Hazel was know to the couple and they fell for the house immediately.”

“After having our home on the market for over six months (three months as a private sale and three months with an agent) without any firm offers, we removed it from the market. When it came time to place it back on, we knew that we had to choose the right agency and agent to have success. We selected and interviewed five different agents one of whom stood out above the rest. That agent was Russell Hume from Total Realty. Russell stood out to us as being friendly, honest and upfront. He thoroughly explained what he thought to be the best marketing strategy and why. Russell did everything that he said that he would. It all went to plan and our home was sold on the very first open day. We can definitely recommend Russell if you are looking to sell your home. He has a very streamlined and efficient business model that works extremely well and most importantly, it saves you a lot of your hard earned money.”

“Both times that I have sold property with Allison and Mike it has been fast professional and a non stressful experience with good results. They kept me informed and went out of there way to get the property sold to our satisfaction .As the house sale was on behalf a trust of three sisters, two being very approachable and the other a sister from hell, Mike and Allison turned themselves inside out to get a good result and to be honest they need a medal for all they had to put up with from that sister. For myself and my sister Jennifer, Mike and Allison have been a pleasure to work with and we thank them for sticking with us and getting the house sold. At no stage did we feel pressure from our agents and on the other side of the coin, they kept us well informed. Ten out of ten would be my score for this friendly, professional high energy couple who I would use again in a heartbeat- they are gold.”

“We had a really good experience with Wayne. He came round within a day of my phone call to do an appraisal and spent much more time looking around the house both inside and out than other companies who had done an appraisal. He gave us an appraisal on the spot which was much more specific than other companies, we really needed this as we already had an offer accepted elsewhere and needed to do our figures based on a $10 range, not a 50-60k range provided by other companies. We also needed to get an offer on the table asap. Wayne clearly explained his recommendation for the approach to take and it worked! We had one open home and were in a multi offer situation the next day , and we were thrilled with the price we got. Wayne's communication was really strong, keeping closely in touch as we worked through the ten working days to confirmation. We have already recommended Wayne to friends looking to sell. Thanks Wayne.”

“This is about the agent,not so much Total realty,we found Greg to be,interested in the house,finding all the positives about it,efficient in progressing the ground work before advertising the house,(photo's,marketing,etc),to seal the deal,he went above and beyond expectations in achieveing that goal,working closely with a disorganised client to get a result. He was reliable in phoning with updates regarding progress and general feedback about potential buyers and open home numbers etc. In general Greg was pleasant, reliable, and good to deal with. ...this is the complete opposite to our 1st time advertising with a Harcourts agent, who proved to be friggin' hopeless, advertising an old but perfectly livable house, as an AS IS sale right from the start,causing us no end of problems with trying to get insurance cover for any potential buyer,thus more or less forcing us to consider offers for basically land value only.We choose to not do that, and perservered with another agent,Greg, and got an offer $80K over the best offer from the Harcourts agent.”

“When we were looking at property to buy we found Greg very friendly & obliging at open homes even if we weren't interested in that property. Quite often we found that once we didn't like a property the real estate agent turned off and was quite negative. We never found that with Greg. He was happy to have feed back about the property and proactive in showing us new properties coming on to the market or trying to find us something suitable to buy that would suit our needs. While we didn't buy off him(not his fault he didn't list the property) his approachable attitude was the very reason we chose him to sell our property.”
Paul Mayes

“Exellent Alison was great to deal with even through a very stressful time when our first sale fell through. When she was on annual leave and Hazel looked after the property she was fantastic at arranging a open home at very short notice and managed to get two offers. I cannot recommend Allison Mike & Hazel enough. Thanks again guys :)”

“As first home sellers, we were at a loss as to what to do and where to start. After Matt was recommended to us, he came and visited us at home and explained the whole process to us from start to finish. He was very informative, friendly and professional. He was supportive with all our questions and requests. I don't believe we would have had the same amount of interest in our house, nor would it have sold so quickly without Matt fronting the sale. He is an asset to Total Realty.”

“We contacted Several real estate companies in regards to selling our home. We had listed the house privately for a month with no interest before doing this, and realised our house had several factors that may have gone against a sale. We were impressed with the agent from Total Realty because of her professional manner and positive attitude. Once we had decided to move ahead, we were thrilled that in less than a week we had four offers. Despite the initial accepted offer falling through, we were able to move ahead and sold within a short period. The 1% commission was a bonus, and we were very happy with the result.”

“We were very happy with the service provided. They were realistic with the property market, it showed that they had done there homework in regards to having all the eqc and insurance documents etc ready before the house went to market and saved time at sale time. We noticed as buyers that other agents never had this stuff ready when you asked. They were very friendly and kept in contact through out the sale procedure. They were very approachable people”
