Testimonials

“I met Sarah when I attended an Open Home she was showing, and found her knowledgeable and easy to talk with. I later asked Sarah to assist with the sale of my property and subsequently she was able to assist with the purchase of my next home. During this time Sarah showed she has a genuine empathy for her client enabling her to understand my requirements and worked to obtain the best results for me, with both the sale and purchase of property. When I contacted Sarah she always made time for me to discuss my queries making suggestions which assisted me to make decisions and she kept me well informed of progress. I recommend Sarah to anyone selling and/or purchasing property”.

Ian and Irene Henderson

“We listed our house with Sarah as our agent.  We found Sarah to be so helpful, friendly, and dedicated to our sale.  We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to buy or sell.  She went beyond the call of duty while we were in Australia.  We had a big storm and the nextdoor neighbours tree branch which was sizeable came down in our property, and Sarah and her husband came around and cleaned it up for us.  Once again we cannot recommend her highly enough”.

“Sarah Deighton played such a big part in helping us sell our family home and find our dream house! She was there every step of the journey and went over and above her normal duties to make sure my husband and I were well-informed. I highly recommend Sarah as an agent, as she truly cares about her clients—not just making a sale.”

Cat Bialostocki

“We first met Sarah at an Open Home earlier this year while searching for a property in Tauranga, and were both impressed by Sarah’s manner and helpfulness.  A month later we decided to purchase a property that was marketed by Sarah.  The process flowed quickly and smoothly due to Sarah’s professionalism and experience.  She communicates splendidly and ensures that all issues are addressed to the satisfaction of both parties.  Sarah is very professional yet allows her great sense of humour to bring an ease to the process.  She is an excellent professional in our opinion.  We are happy with our new home and would recommend Sarah to any one looking to sell or purchase a property”.
