“Sherelle and Don Benson have been wonderful real estate agents over the past two months selling my house. I would like to acknowledge the professionalism, industry nous, humour and kindness that both Sherelle and Don displayed throughout our campaign.
They seemed to balance vendor/purchaser needs and contentions effortlessly which opened both sides to negotiation and compromise. Don and Sherelle worked tirelessly and with great skill for a convoluted sale which covered two properties, three offices, two agencies, three agents, three law firms, one pessimistic building inspector and 10 signatories.
As a seller of one and buyer of another, combined with several house sales prior, it has not been the usual stressful roller-coaster experience and this is due to the openness and straight-talking from these great agents. They should get a medal for what they had to do to bring this together for us, let alone the window closing, door locking, stair stepping, and ridiculous amount of cushion/pillow move/remove routine they had to do on the well-attended three weekly open homes and weekly out of hours incursions. They were tireless and worked all hours. Don and Sherelle are awesome as a real estate team and as a couple. I am happy to be a reference for their potential clients.””

“This letter is to thank you and Don for the extraordinary effort you put in during the advertising and sale process of our home at Norman Rd. As you were aware, we had been living here for 32 years, so it was in fact a difficult time for us. I could not help but be impressed by your good humour and boundless enthusiasm during what was not a straight forward process. Even my cat welcomed you as a friend. As I am sure you have been told before, you and Don make a great team. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is considering buying or selling a property. Regards, and thank you.”

“Sherelle and Don have just sold our home and it was a privilege to have them taking care of everything which was done willingly. With all Sherelle’s experience we were able to leave everything in their capable hands. They were at all times so helpful and supportive, nothing was too much trouble, the best agents we have ever had sell a house for us. We will definitely be recommending them to anyone we know thinking of selling. A 3 week campaign of open homes, then auction with the best auctioneer and the sold sign was up. Thank you Sherelle and Don for such a successful stress-free outcome.”

“I wish to thank you for all your help with buying my new home but mainly with the selling of my previous one, all the way through you kept me in the picture by updating me on any interest shown by clients, but letting me know the state of the market and your wonderful helpfulness during a stressful time. I couldn’t wish for better agents to handle things for me and feel during this time we have become friends as I felt all along I was important to you. I was right, you served me well, the results great. My family join me in thanking you for all your help, you were wonderful.”

“Their relationship with us, throughout all of the preliminaries and then the sale itself, was always most cordial, most open and forthright and most encouraging. They quickly aany undue pressure or discomfort. They have the knack of being cordial and affable, relaxed and optimistic, and at the same time most professional. They were able to become involved in our anxiety but down to earth and realistic. It was a pleasure and a satisfaction to have had them as our agents. We are sure that you, too, are well aware of their abilities and their value to your company, but nonetheless we felt that we should share with you these thoughts about our experience with them. We are very grateful to them.”

“A very professional and satisfactory service. Know the market inside out and backwards. Their extensive knowledge of the local market market mean that Sherelle and Don are the best possible team for selling a property. Sherelle took on our property to sell during the worst possible time in the market (going into winter at the beginning of the property downturn). Sherelle was professional, positive and resourceful. We trusted her experience and were very happy with the outcome.”

“Dear Sherelle. Just a note to thank you for all the effort you have put into the house sale for us. It wasn’t an easy situation but I knew of no one better than you to cope with the difficult situation. You have such a lovely manner that you couldn’t offend anyone and if some hard talking needed to be done you could do it so sweetly!!! I was very impressed with the company you are working for. I wish you lots of success and thank you again for the “extra efforts” you did for us (renting the unit etc).”

“My name is Alan Bell and I both purchased and sold residential properties through their good services in February 2014. Sherelle and Don were very friendly, professional, respectful and positive throughout. They gave advice and good counsel but left the decisions to us as clients and we appreciated their cheerful manner and energetic efforts on our behalf. The sales campaign was well planned, executed and reported on. The advertising and photography was first class and the open homes well conducted and followed up with lead contacts. All these attributes added up to a very good result for us and I would not hesitate to recommend them or to use their services again”

“Don and Sherelle are the most cheerful, supportive couple I could have chosen to sell my property in Hart Road. They put in an extraordinary effort for many months to sell it when the market crashed six years ago, and they were the obvious choice when I tried again in 2013. They both went so far out of their way to make me feel confident with the auction process, and again in trying to find a home for me within strict criteria when my Hart Road property sold at auction. I wish them all the best, and would recommend them to anyone selling in the Hauraki area”

“House selling? Always a drain on emotions. Do we sell? How do we sell? What is our house worth? The doubts set in. Problem solved with the arrival of Sherelle and Don Benson, Agents with confidence, big smiles, total approval, such a positive outlook, and so relaxed – what a Team! The outcome was marvellous, thank YOU, Sherelle and Don.”
