Testimonials

"Tim Melville & Joell Morris 12 Cambrai Ave, Mt Roskill When we were ready to list our Sandringham house in June this year we approached Paul as the agent who originally sold it to us back in 2003. We were impressed with Paul’s knowledge and sales experience in the area, and he proposed a sound marketing strategy based on this experience and his profiling of likely purchasers. Throughout the marketing period Paul provided us with regular detailed feedback and ensured that all the most likely bidders were present at the auction, resulting in a sale price that we were very pleased with. Paul has been a pleasure to work with and we are happy to recommend him to others."
"Tracy and Peter Smith Paul Raynes represented us in the recent sale of our home. Paul was able to list our property and find a realistic buyer with 10 days. He acted completely professional during this time and had an excellent understanding of our requirements and aspirations. He actively listened to everything we had to say. He had an excellent understanding of our area and only marketed our property to prospective buyers who were interested in our type of property, our location and also were in the market to be able to purchase this type of property. We feel a smaller company was able to focus on 'our' property and not treat it, or us, as 'just another stock number'. Paul also displayed an understanding of our concerns with over marketing a property and was happy to comply with our wishes concerning signage and open homes. In all it was as hassle free as any property transaction can be. We would definitely recommend Paul to any prospective clients."
