"My wife and I have recently purchased and sold houses with Ashleigh Abels and the Wellington Harcourts team. We were very pleased with our overall experience and thought it would be useful to share it.  Ashleigh did an outstanding job in providing proper attention to us as potential buyers. She responded quickly to our questions, was patient and helpful, and presented a genuine desire to remove any obstacles that could prevent both parties from achieving a good outcome. We did not hesitate in asking for her help to sell our house based on our excellent purchase experience. We were very impressed by how fast, organised and hard working she was. We took her lead on many suggestions that were not immediately obvious to us, such as the fact that distributing flyers in the neighbourhood would be a good tactic for our marketing campaign. She printed, folded and distributed the flyers in person (with the assistance of her dog). As it turns out, the successful bidders were people in the neighbourhood attracted by one of her flyers. During the campaign, Ashleigh kept us informed about the results of the open homes and how potential buyers were progressing in their journey. We were able to see the amount of attention she was giving to each one of them. On auction day, the whole team at Harcourts was present, working as a unit and doing their best to ensure our goals were met. The house was sold after three weeks from the start of the campaign for a satisfactory price. Overall we would recommend Harcourts and in particular the services provided by Ashleigh Abels. Not many real estate agents are as dedicated and hardworking as her, helping their customers achieve their best outcome when buying or selling. We are pleased we met her, and if we ever went back into the market, we would use her services again."

"I highly recommend Ashleigh Abels as a real estate sales agent.   Earlier this year Ashleigh approached me to discuss if I would explore putting my property on the market.  After discussion with Ashleigh, I resolved to tidy the property up and renovate the bathroom at my own pace.   During the "tidy up",  Ashleigh also had great suggestions about what to renovate and what not to which balanced my interests of selling the property while not spending money unnecessarily.    As the renovations slowly progressed, I was actually quite impressed with Ashleigh's patience because I expected her to insist that I commit to selling the property with her immediately but her focus was getting the property to a standard which would attract the right buyer.  After a couple of months, the property was put on the market.  Ashleigh tailored our marketing plan to our needs and budget while also being extremely hands-on i.e due to miscommunication at my end, when the photographer came to the property, it was not quite ready so Ashleigh pulled up her sleeves and ensured that the property was presentable for the photos (which was completely beyond her job description and our expectations). Ashleigh diligently updated us frequently about the interest received and made herself available for potential buyers.  Quite frankly, I did not expect our property to sell for the price it did; it sold for over 20% more than the next door adjoining property (which is almost identical) only a couple of months later. The only explanation in this instance for this disparity in price was the agent - Ashleigh is very good at what she does."
