Ray and Anne S. 

"Leo and Dianne were exceptional in their care and service in all aspects of selling my 83-year-old mother’s property. Mum is suffering from memory loss and as I live out of Auckland it was wonderful to know that she would be treated with respect and patience, especially when preparing for Open Home and buyer visits. Leo is very experienced and totally trustworthy. We had a very successful auction and we are delighted with the results. Thank you Leo and Dianne I can recommend you as an excellent team to have on side when selling and very happy to recommend you to anyone looking for experience, patience and a sense of humour." 
Maree S. 

"We wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge and proffer our thanks for the extra effort that was made by Leo to enable a potentially difficult sale to proceed smoothly; with the absolute minimum of stress and hassle on our side. Leo has willingly and graciously gone the extra mile on our behalf. Without a doubt in our minds, the extra effort made by Leo has been the key factor towards achieving a successful sale. With the sale price and conditions of sale achieved being very satisfactory to us, it was clear that Leo was working unreservedly and committedly in the interests of the vendor throughout. 
It was indeed a pleasure to have Leo working on our behalf on this sale. Undoubtedly his professional, willing and personable manner enables him to stand out amongst his peers in the property business." 
Richard and Helen H. 

"Dianne and Leo. We are unable to fully express the gratitude we have for you both. Your professionalism, honesty and enthusiasm were truly amazing and we really appreciated all the efforts you took. We will certainly recommend you both to anyone who wants to work with people who really care for their clients." 
Linda and Mike T. 

"We have engaged Leo and Dianne Smith twice in the last 5 years to sell and purchase properties on our behalf. In all our dealings with them we have found them to be tireless in their endeavours to satisfy our requirements, some of which were difficult and onerous, 
We have always felt that their approach was a determination to protect our interests and ensure that they secured the best deal possible for us. They kept us informed of progress and were available to discuss matters at any time of the day or evening. 
We have no hesitation in recommending such a charming couple to anyone wishing to engage persons of the highest integrity to deal with their real estate affairs." 
Geoff and Gay R. 

"Leo was extremely professional, courteous and helpful at all times. I have had excellent service from Leo throughout the whole process of selling and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying." 
Ian and Dorothy A. 

"Our purpose in writing is to say how impressed we have been with Leo throughout the long process which was a result of our having two properties to sell to enable us to make the step up to Hauraki Rd. 
Leo was very understanding and without pressuring us, called every second week to see how our sale was going plus giving us encouragement as the weeks dragged on. 
Leo (subsequently) made the whole deal work to the satisfaction of both parties. 
During the whole exercise Leo has been professional, yet understanding and helpful, a credit to your company and certainly a delightful person to work with." 
Wayne and Marie H. 

"I first met Leo Smith nearly 10 years ago when he successfully sold my first home in NZ before I emigrated to the US. Upon my return to NZ he was the first realtor I called to help me find a new house in my native country. His professionalism on both sides of the fence – the selling and purchasing is outstanding. Leo is a realtor that listens to and hears your needs – he doesn’t just sell you a house he helps you find a home. Together, Leo and his wife are a formidable team – realtors that create results." 
Corene H. 

"Leo assisted us in purchasing our home about 12 years ago. His professionalism and personality was such that he was top of mind when we decided to sell the home. We found Leo to be every bit as professional, helpful and knowledgeable now, as he was 12 years ago. He kept in close touch with us and responded very quickly to any questions or worries we had, giving us the confidence we needed. The outcome of the sale was very pleasing thanks to Leo’s efforts. If I was buying or selling again, Leo would be the first one I would call (again)." 
Craig and Rosemary M. 

"I am writing to express my appreciation of the manner in which Leo Smith handled the purchase of my new property. 
My trust and faith in real estate salespeople was non-existent. 
I am very pleased to say that not only has this been restored having worked with Leo, but also, I am very happy to refer him to my colleagues and friends should they need an excellent person to work with. 
Leo’s quiet and respectful manner ensured that, after our initial contact, he was the only agent I worked with while searching for a property to buy." 
Lynn B. 

"Leo provided a very professional approach to the marketing and final successful auction of this property. His communication skills with me and potential buyers were very good and the provision of reports and updates on the marketing plan were all that were required."
