Richard and I would like to let you know how pleased we were with your service in the marketing and sale of our section. We really appreciated your weekly communications with us, in any way, shape or form, regardless of whether you had anything new to report or not. It was always good to know that you hadn't "forgotten" us. Your follow-up was also excellent. We appreciated your professionalism, efficiency, and friendly manner throughout the duration, which resulted in a good outcome for all concerned. Thanks again, we are very happy!

Linda has assisted us with both the purchase and sale of our home.
In both instances she has done this efficiently with great communication and always with her encouraging smile, subsequently achieving a great result. We are very happy to recommend Linda as your Agent of Choice! Thanks Linda.Margaret and Peter

I have dealt with Linda Davies with two property transactions. On both occasions Linda was an awesome agent to deal with.
She was always very professional, positive and friendly and was totally trustworthy and extremely reliable. Her level of communication and commitment was second to none. I honestly can not fault the service I received from Linda, often taking her role beyond the call of duty.
I would highly recommend Linda to anyone who may be wishing to buy or sell property. As with my personal experience, I’m sure Linda will ensure it will be a very professional yet friendly, informed and positive experience.
Thanks Linda, it has been a real pleasure dealing with you.Dianne

Recently Linda Davies sold a property for us. We wish to commend her efforts and attention to detail.
Linda was extremely easy to deal with and we always enjoyed a visit from her. Always personable and outgoing, Linda was also always confident that our property would sell and instilled that confidence in us.
We found Linda to be very efficient, especially with regular updates at to whom Linda had taken through the property; the outcome of all of those visits and any phone calls Linda had received.
Linda was always true to her word and anything she said she would do, Linda carried through. We most appreciated that Linda found the perfect buyers which, in our situation was extremely important.
We are forever grateful and will certainly use Linda again should the opportunity arise.Don and Ali

Just a very big thank you Linda on the sale of our property.
Your consistent communication with the sale process made it stress free and we knew that you were doing your best to get the best outcome for us (which you did).
You took on board that we needed to move on and you made it happen.
We would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell to make contact with you.
Once again, many thanks and all the best with future clients.

My wife and I can't thank you enough for helping us to find our first and new home in Athenree. For myself as a first home buyer and with the market moving rather fast, your help was priceless. We really appreciated that you were friendly, reliable and kept the lines of communication open so we were always aware of what was going on and where we needed to be. We have now settled in and are so happy with where we are and our new home. Thank you.

We met you at an open home when you were selling a neighbours property. We were impressed with your relaxed, low pressure style, and your understanding of who was looking to buy there.
So when we were ready to sell our place, you were an obvious choice. We have found in all our dealings with you that you have been accommodating, easy to talk with, very good at explaining the legal side of selling a property and ensuring we understand what is involved. You were brilliant at keeping us informed about progress, exactly as you said you would. In addition, we really appreciated you helping out when we needed to engage an electrician which because we live some distance away was tricky for us to do.
What we have appreciated most working with you is your honesty and integrity, your communication and your ability to sell our home quickly for a price we were happy with!
We would not hesitate to engage you again, or recommend you to friends and family if the opportunity arose. To top it off your gift to us at the end showed real thoughtfulness and was very much appreciated, we will enjoy. Thank you.

We had the pleasure of Linda Davies selling our house.
Tenacious, persistent, determined, positive, cheerful, and very professional are all words to describe Linda.
Open days, follow up, and reporting were all handled in a most efficient way. Our house sale was difficult due to various sets of circumstances but Linda took everything in her stride and was totally focused on selling our house. Ultimately an excellent result was achieved at exactly the right time for us.
My wife and I can thoroughly recommend Linda to anyone wishing to sell their property. You will find it a rewarding experience in so many ways.

When we decided to sell our home at a time when the housing market was very sluggish it became evident that this process could take some time but Linda’s positivity and commitment ultimately resulted in a sale enabling us to make the move we had been planning for.
Her professionalism through this time was a tribute to her character – well organized, communicating with us at all times, and following up on potential buyers through Open Homes and appointments.
Her caring and friendly manner along with her knowledge of market trends alleviated much of the stress associated with selling our property. In view of this we had the confidence and pleasure in recommending Linda to several prospective vendors in the area. Thank you Linda.Graeme and Kath

We have had the pleasure of having Linda Davies assist us both in purchasing and selling our holiday home.
Linda provided us with exceptional service and constant communication.
We would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a competent, trustworthy and friendly agent for either finding a property or to help sell their home.
Thank you Linda we will most certainly stay in touch whenever we are down your way.Pete and Margaret

We recently purchased a property from Linda and have no hesitation in recommending her to other purchasers. We were living out of the area and Linda was always accommodating with viewing times. Linda liaised with our builder to arrange an inspection of the property and was always helpful. We found Linda to be professional and experienced.

It's with much pleasure that I write this...I recently purchased a property and used Linda as my agent. Right from the first meeting she was approachable, professional, helpful and gave me confidence that she understood what would suit me and my requirements.
Linda was able to communicate between myself and the sellers extremely well, and the sale and purchase agreement went smoothly with both parties satisfied with the result.
Linda is a competent agent with excellent communication skills and is totally professional always.
I have no hesitation in recommending Linda Davies as an agent. I take this opportunity to thank you for the property I bought, and I will be forever grateful of the effort you put into achieving the outcome for me.

It is with absolute pleasure that we write this reference for Linda Davies who helped us sell our property.
Having being in administration of sales and marketing myself, more importantly on the admin side of real estate for 20 years, I am particularly “hot” when it comes to customer service. From the word “go” we felt confident and positive with Linda with her genuine, friendly and super-efficient work ethics and wonderful cheerful nature.
Linda kept us informed and updated up every step of the way. Any queries we had were dealt with straight away which made everything so easy for us. She was always available and nothing was too much trouble and she just went the extra mile every time. Even on the last day when we had a little hiccup as we were leaving the house a phone call to Linda got things sorted very quickly.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Linda to any future buyer or seller. Every promise she made, she fulfilled ten times over. We simply can’t thank Linda enough.Dave and Carol

Anyone who has bought or sold property knows this can be a very stressful process. Having a real estate agent that understands all the aspects of this process is going to alleviate some of this stress. Being always available, professional and friendly Linda did that and more. Linda made us feel at ease and we felt like we had known her for some time. She took care of everything and is an asset to her profession.
We are very thankful Linda for all you have done. We wish you all the best in your career and look forward to seeing you around our sunny bay.Shane and Laura

We first met Linda at the open home of the house we ended up buying. We came away raving about the house and Linda.
Linda was so warm, welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Linda followed through on everything we asked for and more; Especially as we only saw the house the week before the auction. We bought the house at auction with a long term settlement.
Linda kept in touch regularly asking how our house sale was going etc. I swear she was as excited as us when we sold.
We would recommend Linda to anyone selling or buying.Dave and Lynley
-
Linda Davies listed and sold our beautiful Villa within 4 weeks at Auction.
We were apprehensive being our first list by Auction but Linda was so proactive and followed every single lead keeping us constantly in the loop. Linda was superbly organized and efficient and we felt that she had taken care of everything.
We have purchased and sold with Linda before and she has always kept in touch and followed up any leads pronto. We were so impressed with her previous service that we actually postponed this sale by two months while Linda was overseas.
Linda is 100% professional and trustworthy. She made us feel like we were her number 1 clients.
We would recommend Linda Davies to any purchaser and Vendors alike. You won’t be disappointed!

My sister and I chose Linda Davies to sell our parent’s house. Linda provided a very professional engagement that was warm and open. She worked with us closely and nothing was too much of a problem for her. Because we weren't in the area Linda even met with tradesmen when things needed to be done on the house. Linda's communication was always prompt and accurate and I knew what was going on the whole time.
I would encourage anyone wanting a honest and caring real estate agent to either sell their home or find one for them to put Linda at the top of their list.David
-
This is a short note to thank you for all your assistance during the auction of my property. You were very professional, you gave me sound advice about the advertising of my property, you showed compassion and loyalty throughout the whole process. I informed you I would be going overseas while the Auction was taking place and you took control, you assured me in every step of the way. You contacted me every week even though I was overseas and kept me informed; you achieved what you set out to do and sold the property at Auction. It was so good to have you helping me in what was the most important decision of my life and I thank you very much. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Very best wishes and kind regards.

Partly because Linda was referred to us by some very satisfied friends and partly through chance, we asked Linda to help us sell our property. We were so very lucky that we did. Her experience and knowledge are very great and her use of reports and emails faultless.
Linda not only guided us carefully through the selling process, but she communicated so well that we always felt in touch with and in control of what was happening. Nothing was too much trouble. Her strengths and her empathy – her understanding of our aims and our reactions, and her sympathy with our feelings of regret at leaving, made selling our property a memorable success.Kevin and Jacqui
-
Just a very big thank you Linda on the sale of our property.
Your consistent communication with the sale process made it stress free and we knew that you were doing your best to get the best outcome for us (which you did). You took on board that we needed to move on and you made it happen.
We would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell to make contact with you. Once again, many thanks and all the best with future clients.Malcolm and Pamela

Listing with Linda was a good move. From the start you provided good advice from pricing to advertising our property and keeping us well informed. You were quick to seek out potential buyers and willing to go beyond the norm in proving the properties attributes. Your professionalism resulted in a quick sale and an efficient settlement.
And the best saved for last, the lovely goodies that arrived on our doorstep.
We would recommend Linda to any seller or buyer. Thanks Linda.Graeme and Susanna

Linda Davies facilitated the sale of our home and we were pleased with the sale outcome and the service Linda provided.
We found that Linda was open and honest at all times. She provided us with a clear understanding of the property sale process and her role in that process. When she said she would do something she did it on time and in a concise and practical manner. Her reporting of interest in our property was excellent. Her advice on property presentation was practical and helpful. Her manner is relaxed while still being professional. We liked her style.
Once we had committed to the sale her liaison with ourselves and the purchaser was of considerable assistance. We found her most helpful.
For us the presentation of photographs in a bound volume not only gave us an enduring memory of a kitset home we personally built some 35 years ago but also highlighted Linda's ability to recognise what had been the end of a special time.
We are most grateful for her advice and professionalism. We would most certainly recommend her services to anyone contemplating selling their property.

Linda Davies is an amazing agent, look no further. Our journey of buying a home was a bit of a long one, our first impressions after meeting with Linda to look at a home were that she genuinely cared about what we were looking for.
Over the next few month, she was the only agent in the area to keep in touch with us, always letting us know the new listings. We were thrilled to have her as our agent when the perfect home came on the market. She was always easy to get a hold of if we had questions and did ALL the leg work really! She made it so easy and fun to buy a home.
I would recommend her hands down in buying or selling your home. A really lovely woman!JB and Emily

We recently moved home to New Zealand after 10 years overseas with a longing to establish ourselves in home with gardens and space for our young family.
Scott first met Linda while visiting open homes and instantly felt assured by her friendly professional manner. We felt confident from the beginning that she had our best interests at heart and as a local could advise us wisely on the market.
Linda was fantastic throughout the complete process, especially once we decided on a place, the highs, lows and the delicate negotiations. We are now extremely happy owners of a beautiful home that is perfect for us and it has been especially cool that she has kept in contact after.
We wish Linda the best and sincerely recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
Scott and Emma

We have been dealing with Linda Davies both purchasing and selling our property. We have found Linda to be one of the best Real Estate agents we have dealt with. Linda is kind, honest and kept us informed of all that was going on without hesitation during the process of selling our property.
We first met Linda when we were originally looking in the area to purchase a home, and from there on we have had nothing but great things to say about her to everyone we know.
I would suggest Linda Davies to anyone who is looking either to purchase, or to sell their home. She did it for us and we are positive she will do it for you. Many thanks Linda. You’re one in a million!Cliff and Yvette

We would like to send a huge thank you to Linda for helping us sell our home.
From the moment Linda took on the listing she was professional, helpful, friendly and in constant contact with us. As kiwis living abroad, we had to put our faith in her to do what she thought was best for us. We had heard good things from the community about Linda, and from the outset, she proved them right! She gave us guidance and ideas on what she thought would best work for the market and area, she kept us up to date on a very regular basis, and the sale of our home went through seamlessly – and in record time. My only regret is that we did not get the opportunity to meet her!
Perhaps on our next trip to the Bay of Plenty we will be able to pop in and say thank you in person! She truly made the process easy and understandable, and I would not hesitate to recommend her as your agent – you will not be disappointed. Thank you Linda for all you did for us.Peter and Rebekah

Linda Davies was an absolute pleasure to deal with when purchasing my new property.
She was very understanding and compassionate of my/our situation. She always maintained a friendly yet professional manner at all times. She was totally on hand to answer any questions or concerns I had.
I would 100 % recommend her and would most definitely use her again in any future properties.

It was a long held dream to own our own beach property and with fantastic assistance from Linda we're thrilled to have been able to achieve it!
As we were buying from out of town, it was great to know that Linda was always on call whenever we had a query and she proactively kept us up to date through the entire process.
Her positive attitude and just the right amount of persistence made it a pleasure to work with her.
We're now happily settled in our new holiday home and couldn't be happier. Thanks so much Linda!Kathy and Joan

Recently my wife and I listed our home and had the privilege of meeting Linda Davies as our sales consultant.
Linda’s marketing skills and total sincerity quickly became apparent and stifled any anxiety or stress related to the sale of our property. Linda’s constant information, prevailing wise council and encouragement in the nicest possible manner, and her outstanding personality was always evident. Within weeks we had a signed sales contract thanks to Linda’s professionalism. Some uncertainty remained as to where we should be domiciled until once again Linda was the catalyst in providing an opportunity to view an impressive dwelling in Katikati.
Linda’s collaboration with a real estate colleague insured we would settle in this appealing location. On the afternoon of our shift Linda appeared as our first visitor bearing the evening meal complimentary to earlier thoughtful gifts, plus an exceptional photographic journal of our former home created by Linda, to revive pleasant memories in future years. Very much appreciated together with our high regard for all the kindness and expertise Linda extended to us.Allan and Rae
-
We purchased a house that Linda Davies was marketing. From our first contact we felt very comfortable with Linda who we considered totally genuine and honest.
In the leading weeks prior to auction all our queries were answered quickly. Linda was always available for any help required.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Linda to buyers or sellers offering genuine, honest and very professional service always with a friendly attitude.Steve and Rhonda

We recently purchased our holiday home after falling in love with the Western Bay of Plenty area. It was our first experience dealing with a real estate agent and we were so lucky to have met Linda to find us our dream home at a price we could afford. We found her to be very professional but at the same time friendly and compassionate.
Because we didn’t live in the area Linda always kept us well informed with new listings and was with us every step of the way.
Thank you Linda for everything you did for us and all the best in the future – you are the best!Martin

It gives me great pleasure to place on record my very high regard and respect for Linda Davies.
At all times she was extremely professional and did her utmost to sell my property. She advertised it regularly in the local papers and handed out flyers to interested buyers. Her wording of the advert was excellent, capturing the reader’s attention immediately and encouraging them to read further. She took photos of the water view giving the viewer a clear picture of the magnificent water views from the home.
Her communication skills were excellent and beyond the call of duty. She was regularly in touch with me by both phone and email checking on my state of health and general well being and keeping me informed about recent sales in the district. Throughout the selling journey there were a few disappointments but Linda was always there giving me encouragement and hope to wait for that “buyer” and helping to calm a stressful time.
Linda held many “Open Homes” even when the house was under contract and I admire her patience and commitment with any viewers who came to inspect my home. I know that she always followed up any visits with a phone call to gauge how enthusiastic the viewers were.
When the house eventually sold Linda was with me every step of the way advising on Furniture Movers etc. and helping with the transporting of my numerous plants.
Linda has a bubbly, infectious personality and she gives both the prospective buyer and the seller the utmost confidence in her marketing skills. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone buying or selling property. I got Linda’s name from one of my neighbours who were selling their property and I am really grateful to them.
Linda is aware of how much a home means to the seller and it was so lovely to receive a bound book of photos of the house which I can treasure for always plus numerous gifts and a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to my new home.
Linda is thoroughly honest and reliable and her marketing skills are extremely upmarket. I value her friendship, guidance and assistance to me over the entire period my house was on the market with her and I wish her every success in the future.

I had the pleasure to work with Linda Davies when I purchased a property. Having been a Real Estate Salesperson myself, I am probably, understandably, slightly judgemental in my expectations when dealing with the Real Estate Industry. I found Linda to be knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, competent and very trustworthy. She definitely provided for all my requests for information with efficiency and accuracy and kept in contact frequently, even after the settlement had gone through.
I would recommend Linda to any buyer or vendor wishing for honest and professional care and would definitely use her services again.Karin

I found Linda Davies to be a wonderful real estate agent / marketing consultant. Linda really thought about her clients – how we felt about the property how attached we were etc and tried to understand our situation. She was so easy to work with – friendly, professional and approachable.
Linda went out of her way to make things easy for us. For example opening up to let trades people in etc. Linda made sure that every potential client was shown around, however unlikely they may have been. She understood our place and celebrated it.
Linda kept us fully informed and guided us through the whole process. Suggesting options but letting us make the decisions for our property. She was quietly determined and would always be thinking about other options and ideas to promote our property most effectively.
I really appreciate Linda’s kindness and sensitivity to our situation - selling up an estate property - and when we finally had to say farewell to a very special family home she sent gifts of congratulations and a wonderful book of photo memories to keep.

I am pleased to provide a written recommendation for Linda who was our real estate agent.
In the period we were listed with Linda I found her to be, above all, a person who kept our spirits up. Her positive attitude was contagious. Always emphasizing that “ there is a buyer for every home”.
On the occasion when she would bring a potential buyer to view the home we found her to be very natural and sincere with these people. No high flying ‘spin doctoring’ which we have experienced in other agents styles. Honesty is a most important quality to have in an agent and I certainly feel Linda upholds this quality. Even when we were initially not on a sole agency contract she awarded us her personal handling.
When the time arrived and we had sold the property, we found Linda to be a very efficient and busy worker in all she had to do. Even to the extent of lending us her shoulder and advice when we faced problems with the purchase of our new home.
On the first day in our new home, Linda arrived with special gifts to celebrate our new life. This was especially such a splendid thing to do.
To sum up, I would have no qualms about recommending Linda to any prospective real estate clients.
