One of the better estate agents we dealt with. Very friendly service. We had to withdraw from business and they did not give us attitude or hassle over it. We were always happy when they show us around houses for sale. They had knowledge of the property and did remember to call us back when the property become available. Just shows that independent businesses are much better.

Report
By far worst estate agent I have ever dealt with. Rented out a house to us in an unsatisfactory condition. Screws and loose brickwork left where the conservatory was torn down just prior to us moving in. Even left a radiator exposed to the elements that probably heated up half of carterton. The single pane glass windows and a door that should only be used for interior application resulted in the kitchen and downstairs area being noticeably cold over the winter months! White goods not provided even though the house was advertised with them.
