Testimonials

"Mr Richard Cadness acted as agent for my wife and me in relation to the sale of our home at 728 South Titirangi Road, Auckland. This testimonial is written as a result following a request by Mr Cadness. Mr Cadness first advised us to sell by auction. Initially reluctant, we adopted his advice, as an expert with a lengthy record of real estate success in this area. As things turned out his advice was right. Once the decision had been made as to the mode of sale, we were most impressed with the level of commitment shown by Mr Cadness and his team and with the amount of dedication given by him personally to our sale, no doubt one amongst a number of others in which he was involved at the time. He arranged all the advertising (the mix of which was decided on his advice), masterminded the Open Days and conscientiously reported regularly to us by telephone and letter on progress. On auction day, he guided us through the rigors of the day, culminating in a thoroughly successful result at a very favourable price. In short, throughout, Mr Cadness showed excellence in judgment, dedication to the exercise and thorough professional competence as a real estate agent. We would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone contemplating or dealing in real estate in Titirangi or its environs  Hon. Justice Hugh Williams"
"If ever we needed proof, and let me tell you - as ex advertising people we didn't - that personality, branding, presentation and perception are everything, the recent successful and painless sale of our Titirangi property was proof positive. First and foremost we wanted Richard Cadness to be our agent. He has the reputation locally of being "Mr. Titirangi". Working with Richard you very quickly you learn how this reputation has been earned. Understated charm and affable personality aside ( of which he has in spades! ) it is his professional skill set that sets him apart. Richard's marketing expertise not only in advertising terms but also his advice in dressing and presentation of the property, communication in terms of regular, realistic, and honest feedback, plus, I'm sure, things that we were not even aware of going on behind the scenes, all contributed to a hugely successful outcome for us on auction day. This all backed of course by the powerful brand that the Baileys team have built over the years. In the end it's the people who make the difference. And Richard was the person who made that difference  for us. He is a man you can totally trust to do his very best for you...and will make the selling your house an absolute delight. Thank you Richard. Thank you Bayleys. John Dawson and Franki Waterhouse - 180 Huia Road"
