Having lived in Northland for 20 years, I am still amazed at the beauty of the region and what it offers. I feel privileged to have access to this coastal and rural paradise.People are the key resource of any business and are what the real estate transaction is all about. Happy purchasers and satisfied vendors are the driving force behind my commitment to the industry. After 10 years in the real estate business I continue to enjoy repeat business from past and present customers and clients. The importance of marketing and the process of negotiation, both essential parts of real estate, keep me up skilling and fresh in this constantly evolving marketplace.I am committed to this process and if I can assist others in sharing the beauty of the Far North as an adventure playground for all levels of property ownership, then I am doing a job I value as far more than ‘the daily grind’.TestimonialWe approached Trevor Staples of Harcourts, Kerikeri to handle the marketing of our rental property at 21D Shepherd Road. From the time we appointed him to market our property he provided useful advice on how best to approach the sale. He also gave us a marketing calendar demonstrating what he planned to do and when. Each week a report was produced stating what had been completed and what was scheduled in the next week (a “Promise Report”), he also was in regular contact advising how things were progressing. He answered any questions we had an gave us options where required. All documents (e.g. listing documents, Auction Pack etc) were presented to us for review and approval before going ahead. At all times we were fully involved, informed and consulted and kept up to date with progress. I would have absolutely no problems recommending Trevor and the team at Harcourts to anyone considering selling their property. Best regards, David
