• Diane and her daughter Ashleigh marketed and sold my place last year. They were always professional and efficient, and made me feel very comfortable and confident in their selling process. I would highly recommend them to any prospective seller.

  Vivienne Parry-Crooke

• Ashleigh and Diane Davidson are a dynamic team. An easy sales process. No questions was left unanswered. If they didn’t know on the spot they got back to you with urgency. Came out of hours many times. Nothing was a problem. As agents goes and there is a choice I would highly recommend this team to get the job done. A seamless process from these 2 ladies.

  Cindy Smith

• Diane and Ashleigh would be the best agents you could have to sell you home They are professional and the nicest couple to deal with. Always there and full of great help to make the process as painless as possible. Thank you both.

  Steve Cooke

• Diane & Ashleigh got the job done and quite quickly given the change in the market and this was extremely helpful to my wife and I, given that we had already committed to another property. Both were extremely professional and their feedback after an open home or viewing was faultless. I have already recommended Diane and Ashleigh to people should they wish to sell or purchase.

  Glenn Halls

• Dianne was recommended to us by our daughter based on her previous experience with Dianne at Eves. We found Dianne and Ashleigh very helpful, intuitive and understanding with that personal touch. They both kept us well informed and always responded promptly to phone and text messages. With Dianne and Ashleigh the sale of our property was stress free experience.

  Jonathan rees-george

• Regarding sale of my property. Ash and Diane are an amazing team to deal with. They walked us through the process of marketing the property, staging and went above and beyond with there efforts to present the property as I was out of the region to assist. This installed confidents in me to leave Ash and Diane to work there magic on the sale of the property, which lead to a successful auction with all parties extremely happy!! Many thanks team and all the best!!! Highly recommended.

  Alex Macdonald

• Buying was such an easy process with this team. Friendly and always available for questions. Great team!

  Cayla Saes

• He mihi ka tika ki a Ashleigh me tana tīma. Kua ngāwari katoa tōna āhua me tōna kaha ki te whakawhiti kōrero mai mō te whare nā mātou i hoko. We have had a really positive experience working with Ashleigh and her team. She has a lovely demeanour and is great at communicating and organising visits when desired. Thank you for helping us secure our new home. Ngā mihi nui.

  Hamuera Tamihana

• We engaged Diane to list our rental property in Tauranga for sale after several months of answering our questions and concerns about selling in the current market. As our property was tenanted, this often requires a different level of service and communication to ensure tenants are kept informed and happy. Diane and her team were wonderful throughout the whole process. Communication was thorough and the feedback from viewers was exceptional and speedy. We can't thank Diane enough for all the effort she put in for us, in the end achieving a great result, of which Diane was incredibly patient with as we were likely difficult vendors!
  
  If you are looking for an agent to list your home, I couldn't recommend Diane more highly. She is real and honest, with a huge amount of industry and market knowledge behind her, which ultimately will get you the best results.
  
  Thank you again Diane for everything.
  

  Tim & Rachelle Collier

• We contacted Diane Davidson to ask about timing for selling our home and she had all our answers, giving us confidence to list immediately. Our home was a renovated Victorian Villa with modern fittings and furnishings, unusual yet Diane knew exactly who our market was and how to reach them.
  
  What we didn’t know was that Diane has a marvellous team of support agents and marketing experts - a whole group of experienced people to help get the job done! Within days we were on the market, very impressed with the efficiency and attention to detail with superb photography and a tantalising description.
  
  We went to Auction three weeks later and were very happy with the results.
  
  Diane Davidson was SUCH a breeze to work with, we had every confidence in her sales skills and reassuring attitude. She is an extremely talented agent, calm and confident every inch of the way and we recommend her 100%.
  

  Jan & Denton Perry

• I chose Diane to recently sell my property and what a marvellous choice that was. Diane was there to help me through the motions of selling my home by auction and it was all done and dusted within 5 weeks, sold, cash in bank and ready to start my new life.
  Thank you to you and your family for going that extra mile, even that extra bit of attention when we hit a couple of speed bumps. All good and highly recommend you Diane for your efficiency and keeping me well informed during the process.
  

  Pip Dargaville

• My partner and I recently worked with Diane and her team on the sale of our beautiful Gate Pa property. The marketing was outstanding and everything went well with a pre-auction offer being accepted. We highly recommend Diane for her honesty, teamwork (including working with us) and professionalism.
  
  

  Bruce & Diane

• It was a pleasure working with Diane and her team. We chose the auction path and they made the whole marketing process a breeze. On auction day the results spoke for themselves and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Diane.

  Clare Hanser

• Afternoon Diane, Just wanted to touch base with you and thank you once again
  for all your help with selling Leigh's house for me and her girls. It has been hard
  being the executor to Leigh's will and not living in Tauranga. You have gone out of
  your way to help with repairs and organizing contractors for us.
  So on behalf of the girls and myself, Thanks very much.
  

  Sharon

• To whom it may concern
  
  We engaged Diane Davidson of Eves Real Estate to sell our home in Welcome Bay.
  
  We were very impressed with her approach to marketing our house. We enjoyed her enthusiasm, honesty and integrity. Diane was always approachable to discuss customer requests.
  
  We are only too happy to recommend Diane to anyone wishing to engage her services.
  

  Ian and Maureen Malcolm

• We have used Diane Davidson on two occasions. Once when buying and then at a later date to sell our property. Never before have we had such great service from a Real Estate Agent. We found her very easy to deal with, very knowledgeable, forthright and determined to get the very best in all aspects for her clients! She kept us informed and advised us every step of the way. We had complete trust in her and she has never let us down. Achieving premium price on our sale. Absolutely the best agent we've ever had and would not hesitate to use her services again. We already recommend her to anyone looking for Real Estate! Lovely lady, with a lovely smile, just the best all round!

  Lizzie

• I am very pleased to send a testimonial for Diane Davidson for her real estate skills for sticking with us through a trying time with another real estate making mistakes. Diane has shown dedication in her field and shown a very professional side and going the extra distance to achieve our goal we sort. Calling on her whether with phone, text or email in her private times at night or on her day off was never a burden but a blessing for us. Going with Diane is putting yourself with a lady who has grit along with determination to complete your dream in the real estate place. Thanking you for keeping our dream home alive Diane.

  Dave

• As first home buyers we were very green to the process and Diane was wonderfully helpful right from our first open home with her, through to the bidding process and the details of organising the LIM, building report and final look through. We had worked with other agents prior and we felt pressured and underwhelmed by their lack of efficiency and knowledge. Diane came across as calm and collected and knew all of the answers right through the journey. The cherry on the cake for us was the little things; a lovely bottle of champagne upon going unconditional, a lovely little basket of coffee, teabags, biscuits etc on our move in date and cute little reminders a month after move in date to ensure we were happy and offering us any assistance going forward. We wouldn’t deal with any other agent now that we have Diane on our side and I can guarantee she will bring equal measures of experience, drive for getting the right outcome for her client and a warm, lovely approach to the situation. Thank you Diane!

  Finn & Everlyn

• Thank you so much Diane for successfully selling my home through auction.
  
  From start to finish this process was made very easy and seamless by yourself and your Team.
  
  Your knowledge and experience realised the best possible outcome for me and for that, I am grateful.
  
  I certainly appreciated the professional approach you have and I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone selling their house.
  
  Thank You
  

  Julie

• My experience with Diane has been very positive, from point of contact through to post sale. She did an excellent job at facilitating my international purchase to bring me home to Tauranga. Diane operates to a high standard, being professional, knowledgeable, reliable, ethical, and dedicated - to say the least. 10 out of 10

  Jarrad Lewis

• Just a quick note to thank you on the unconditional sale of our Landscape Road property. Wendy and I were very pleased with your professional approach and the care that you took to keep us informed of any developments. We thought long and hard before we decided on a marketing agent and are very pleased with our choice. We would highly recommend your services to any other prospective vendor

  Wayne & Wendy Heyworth

• Diane was absolutely wonderful with our sale. She took us though the auction in a very professional and warm and friendly way and gave us regular updates so that we always knew where we were. We have complete confidence in her as a Real Estate Agent

  L Vonk

• I am happy to let future buyers & sellers know that Diane Davidson is a very professional agent & always helpful

  Sam Behrent

• Diane came into my life when I was feeling low - after having my home on the market for 3 months with no sign of a buyer.
  
  I met Diane on the Friday, she had clients through on the Saturday and a signed contract on the Sunday. Diane has a very strong database of clients and her knowledge of matching clients with houses is remarkable!
  
  I would recommend Diane to anyone selling or buying, not only is she a good agent, she is also a lovely lady.
  
  Thank you Diane for making it so easy
  

  Diane Newlands

• Diane found me my perfect home!
  
  After three years on the search for a home with the attributes that are rarely found in Tauranga - she found it! Even when I had given up, she wouldn't! In her usual calm, helpful and tenacious way she finally hit the jackpot. Thank you Diane!
  
  I will always be grateful for her belief that what I wanted was out there and I will have no hesitation in recommending Diane to my friends
  

  Kim Scanlen

• Diane has been amazing in selling our home. Although we were nervous, we went to auction and held on to her wings! She worked like crazy and assured us we were doing the right thing! She was always positive & professional bringing us a fantastic result on the day!
  
  I would always recommend her - she is the best agent I have ever worked with! Thanks Diane - it was magic
  

  Jesse Summers

• Diane is very friendly, easy to approach and is always open minded to discuss any/all situations.
  
  Diane has gone the "extra" mile to sell our property and has provided excellent service.
  Once again, thank you Diane for your great assistance
  

  Jacky Ting

• We first met Diane at a show home she was hosting and were immediately impressed with her friendliness and honesty.
  
  We then organised for Diane to give us an appraisal on our home which we were considering selling and we were very happy with her thoroughness and positive attitude and the speed at which she had it accomplished.
  
  Diane listed our house for us and hosted several open homes after which she always left us a summary of visitors and their feedback. Diane very regularly kept us in touch with what was happening during the process and our house sold within a few weeks.
  
  We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Diane to anyone thinking of selling their house or looking at buying. We found her to be extremely trustworthy, efficient, friendly and a lovely person to be involved with at what can be a stressful time
  

  Alan & Carolynn Heppell

• Just a note to say thank you very much for your hard work and guidance re the sale of my property.
  
  The photos & marketing were fabulous and the end result with selling at Auction was brilliant. I'm still smiling!!
  
  I know I was a bit dubious re selling at auction, but your knowledge of the Real Estate market was invaluable, hence the wonderful result.
  
  Thanks for keeping me well informed throughout the process, you were great to work with.
  
  Again, many thanks
  

  Lyn Chapman

  Diane recently sold my property and I was very impressed with the way she handled the sale from beginning to end.
  
  She was at every level professional in her work, always updated me and I found her to be so riendly, kind and helpful.
  
  I knew the first time I met Diane that I could have complete confidence in her to achieve the sale I needed. Thank you Diane for everything you have done to help me
  

  Viv Delaney

• We thank you for all of your efforts in helping us find our new home. The selection you offered us were all sound and relevant to our criteria, and of the final selection, we would have been happy with any of three properties shown to us. The one we finally chose meets our needs completely and we could not be happier with the purchase.
  
  We also commend you on your assistance post agreement with good references for home inspection services and good follow up on the day of settlement.
  
  Again, thanks for all your efforts
  

  Ross & Liz Grant

• From start to finish Diane made the process of selling our first house painless.
  
  Her easy and professional manner put us at ease and we are pleased to say that within a few weeks the house was sold. We were out of town but she kept us in touch with how things were going regularly.
  
  We can highly recommend Diane to anyone
  

  Aaron & Louise Wilson

• We were both extremely impressed with the service Diane has provided to us during this time. Right from our first meeting, you were professional, very friendly and approachable.
  
  You helped make the whole process of purchasing actually easy, and we were both grateful for all your help and support including the Auction process.
  
  Thank you so much for the special little gifts and kind words you left us and for simply making the whole home buying process quite pleasurable and stress free.
  
  We feel like we made a new friend along the way. John and I will 'highly recommend' you
  

  John & Debby McGrath

• It is our pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Diane Davidson from Eves Real Estate Greerton.
  
  We contacted Diane as our property Negotiator, to help us to buy a do-up property in Welcome Bay, Tauranga.
  
  Throughout all transactions/negotiations she has been professional, friendly and supportive. She has offered advice when needed, kept us up to date with progress and guided us through the quick and efficient purchase.
  
  Diane definitely made the whole experience operate as smoothly as possible and with the least amount of stress. We would have no hesitation in recommending her as an excellent Property Negotiator to anyone considering selling or buying their home.
  

  Colin and LeeAnne Lane

• The fantastic result we achieved does not happen on its own, it happened because of the experience, professionalism and knowledge that you have. Your cheerful manner at every contact and willingness to answer all my questions made the process very easy and straightforward, thank you so very much I have no hesitation in recommending you to others

  Sarah Walford

• Thank you, Diane (Davidson) of Eves Realty Greerton, for being super helpful from the word go in our search for a property. You did not flinch when we texted and said, in the middle of the week, that we were from out of town and could only view this property, that we were extremely interested in, on the weekend only. You arranged with the owner and the tenant to accommodate us on the Saturday.
  
  You always responded promptly to text messages, voice mails, and emails. Being new in NZ, we appreciate the fact that you always spent time explaining all the steps and the whole procedure to us. You never made us feel that we were asking "stupid" questions!
  
  Basically, thank you for your unfailing friendliness, helpfulness, kindness, honesty and transparency. We truly appreciate your big part in finding our new home. We will remember you when we move in and enjoy our personalised card and special champagne! We will not hesitate to recommend you to any prospective buyer
  

  Cobus & Marelize Calitz

• On our search for a real estate agent Alan and Diane were our first and last stop. As first time vendors our initial meeting Diane was able to put our minds at ease. She was able to fully explain the auction process and was thorough in explaining both the positives and negatives of selling a house.
  
  We felt very comfortable with these agents and felt no pressure to rush to any decisions. The goals we set for our property were realistic and every detail promised at our initial meeting were met.
  
  Alan and Diane were very respectful of our tenants in our property and built a great rapport with them. Thorough communication was held between all parties involved. After every open home Diane initially texted us the details then e-mailed comprehensive reports weekly on prospective buyers and feedback on our property. We were really grateful for this.
  
  On approach to auction Diane worked extremely hard alongside buyers and our tenant to ensure us a successful sale on the day. We appreciated Diane's up front attitude, advice and honesty. We felt comfortable in our decision and supported throughout. Thank you Alan and Diane we will not hesitate in recommending you to others
  

  Wayne and Nicole Adlington

• My experience with Diane Davidson of Eves Real Estate was of the highest quality. Diane was always available to contact when I had questions and gave unsparingly of her attention and time. She was always helpful and it was a pleasure to buy through her. Many thanks Diane

  Iris Dudson

• In October '14 Diane Davidson was referred to me by a friend in regard to listing my property in Otumoetai.
  
  Upon meeting Diane for the first time I found her to be very friendly & easy to communicate with. She was very enthusiastic about listing my property and presented me with an appraisal within a couple of days, advising me of different selling options.
  
  I decided on a three week auction campaign & during this time Diane kept me well informed with what was happening, who was interested etc; sending a full report to me on a weekly basis.
  
  I was very impressed with her dedicated, professional manner combined with her friendly down to earth nature which made her very approachable throughout the sale process.
  
  I believe Diane did the best she could for me and spent a lot of time in negotiations. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone looking to sell their property as I am confident she will look after you as an individual and not just a vendor
  

  Louise Wright

• Dear Diane,
  It has taken me some time to write, as you know we had not long had our twin babies, we had run out of room with our expanding family and needed to move on quickly.
  
  I thought to myself 'I want an agent who is proactive & passionate about what they do'. We called after seeing your flyer in our letterbox and after our first meeting it was an easy decision to list with you.
  
  You knew the area and you were realistic with our situation. Ready & willing to work around us we felt extremely comfortable and fully informed during the whole process. I was unsure of how selling would go as we had tried once before with no interest. I was really surprised when we had a really good offer knocking on our door within weeks.
  
  The other agents you work with were respectful and friendly, also very important when you have people coming and going. It often felt like we were the only house for sale.
  
  
  With Alan by your side you make a great team and you both were very informative and helped us explore our options moving forward.
  
  I highly recommend both Diane & Alan if you are looking to buy or sell, I know they will be my first point of call when the time comes. You made the process of selling our home an easy and stress free experience.
  
  For this we thank you!
  

  Amanda & Karl Paprzik

• We would like to give special thanks to Diane for her integrity, her humour, her common sense & in particular her ongoing support, right through from the sale to the move into our new home. We are delighted to say that we have and will continue to, recommend Diane to others

  Sue & Joe Tesoriero

• I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the dedication & hard work that Diane put into selling my home. She is very professional, loyal & honest and deserves all the praise I give her. It was my pleasure to have found such a wonderfully honest & caring real estate agent.

  Jill McNeil

• Diane regularly updated us with market feedback which assisted us to position our home in the market, ultimately achieving an optimum sale price.

  Sally Ann Hyland

• Diane is very professional, does what she says she is going to do and maintains a sunny, happy disposition. We are very happy with her service, her availability and her helpfulness.

  Jacqui De Soden & Yvonne Gray

• Throughout the marketing we were impressed by Diane's professionalism and above all, her positivity. We felt throughout the process Diane was always looking for new angles and ideas that may help put our property ahead of the pack. As you know Diane, we have always been firmly against auctions but can admit, we are somewhat converted.

  Nat & Ann Maree Thompson

• My house has recently sold and I would like to thank Diane for her professionalism and good communication during the marketing. I had listed the house previously during a time when very little was selling, and after a frustrating time, I took it off the market.
  
  Earlier this year I contacted Diane again letting her know I was ready to try again and this time it sold very quickly. I had confidence in Diane and was very happy with the marketing.
  
  I have always been impressed with Diane's communication skills, always being kept up with what is going on with interest or otherwise in the house. Thank you Diane for your help.
  

  Maryellyn Carr

• Doug & I were really impressed with how Diane went the extra mile to make our sale happen. It wasn't an easy sale by any means but with Diane's expertise it all went through smoothly. We highly recommend her to others. Thank you.

  Suzanne Welch & Doug Graham

• Diane Davidson of Eves was recommended to us by a work colleague. We found Diane was very professional, courteous and kept us informed at all times through the selling process. Diane was asked to sell our property with a tenant who did not want to leave, this gave Diane additional challenges and she was able to keep upbeat and pursue a sale on our behalf.
  
  Our overall experience with Diane working on our behalf was excellent and we would highly recommend her to anybody wishing to sell their property.
  

  Mark & Margaret Jackson

• Diane Davidson has recently been involved in the sale of my property. She suggested selling the property by means of an auction which eventuated in a successful outcome.
  
  Diane was reliable and efficient in her role as my real estate agent. She explained procedures clearly and made every effort to update me of any developments. She has a friendly approach and is professional at all times. I would definitely recommend Diane's services to prospective vendors!
  

  Heather Griffin

• I only made the one phone call to get my property on the market and that was to Diane Davidson as she was my "top of mind agent" and I had always been impressed with her marketing strategies.
  
  Despite the fact that Diane had never met me, I found her phone manner to be warm and unassuming.
  
  During the time we were on the market, Diane communicated with our tenant and worked with him to create the least amount of disruption to his daily life. Verbal updates & written reports were given to us and within a short number of weeks, we had an offer.
  
  During this time Diane remained 100% professional and we felt she was really working for us to help us realise our goals. The entire experience was stress & hassle free & we would happily recommend Diane to anyone wishing to sell their property!
  

  Lisa Magee

• Thank you Diane for your excellent service. Your communication skills have ensured a very stress and hassle free sale for us. I really appreciate how you kept us updated constantly and this made us feel very well informed and looked after.

  The Kullar Family

• Diane sold my property after putting in a lot of hard work. She was always patient, courteous and helpful and I would have no hesitation in recommending her services.

  Shirley Malcolm

• After we were just about to give up on Real Estate agents, we found Diane. She made contact straight away and was very reliable. She made us feel very at ease, comfortable and confident with the whole looking/buying process. With it being our first time buying a home, she answered all our questions and gave us all the information with the ins and outs of buying a home.
  
  We really enjoyed buying our first home with the help of Diane and we are looking forward to dealing with Diane again when the time comes.
  

  K & P Jackson

• She is very professional and has a wealth of knowledge in the Real Estate industry. We found her easy to contact and was always willing to answer any question we had for her.
  
  She is very thorough with all her correspondence and keeps you updated and she has her fingers on the pulse.
  
  We bought and sold our home through Diane and she made it a very easy and pain free experience. We would recommend her to anyone thinking of selling or purchasing a property through her. Well done Diane.
  

  Wayne & Sharon Anderson

• An absolute joy to work with Diane! Super efficient and made this process so stress free. I would recommend Diane to any potential buyer or seller.

  Ann Smith

• We thoroughly enjoyed having Diane as our agent and found her friendly, honest and reliable, she lived up to her promises and achieved a quick and painless sale. Diane was very approachable and easy to deal with when finding our feet in the selling game, thank for all your work, greatly appreciated.

  Aaron Crockford & Emma Paterson

• We found Diane to be friendly, honest and very highly motivated when it came to selling our home. Her knowledge and expertise was invaluable, and her ability to handle the negotiations we would describe as outstanding.
  
  We would recommend Diane to any person buying or selling with the sure knowledge that she would do an excellent job on their behalf.
  

  Moyrah Ryan-Lewis & Terry Lewis

• My home in Parkvale had been on the market for over a year with another agency. It had had a comprehensive marketing plan including auction which resulted in only moderate interest. I approached Diane at Eves and she indicated that she believed she could achieve a sale in short order. A series of open homes with regular reports to me of numbers of visitors, expressions of interest and recommended follow up resulted in a sale after only 5 weeks of marketing.
  
  Diane was very professional, kept me fully informed and deserves her status as a top salesperson.
  

  Helen Hodson

• It was an absolute joy to work with Diane, super efficient & made the process so stress free. I would recommend Diane to any potential buyer or seller.
