Linda is professional and honest. She is not a time waster. Her secret weapon is her sister, Jackie. Between the two of them they make a top class team. Jackie has great flair and knowledge on how to present a home to its best advantage. She was able to give advice and provide a contact for any job that needed to be done.

Buying and selling off-market has a unique set of challenges, multiply that with effectively doing a house-swop with another Devonport house, on a tight deadline, with every single party involved travelling abroad during that timeframe, and you'll grasp the difficulty of our recent sale and purchase. Linda and Jacquie worked their socks off to get this deal over the line, from a chance conversation to a high-speed move on a joint opportunity. Their professionalism and negotiation skills through some tricky discussions, combined with practical, 'can do' approach, and a database which is probably unrivalled were impressive. Both bring tremendous energy, drive and attention to detail to the whole process. Linda ended up working through the night from New York and Italy, repeatedly during her holiday, to get the simultaneous sale through, with buyer and seller also in different time zones. Jacquie never stopped for breath, making everything happen with specialist building reports and the panoply of tradies and contacts that helped provide the right insights at the right time. We're very grateful for their commitment, served up with kindness, care and humour.

Linda and her team performed perfectly when given the opportunity to make a sales within three months. From the initial briefing, extensive research into the rating system, Linda managed to build build a campaign that was backed up by solid market proof to provide vendors with the comfort that they were not over paying whilst at the same time managing my expectations of a fair deal. I whole heartedly recommend Linda ( and if course Jacquie) to provide a complete service from start to end.

It was a far-from-easy market, and it took real experience, tenacity and ability to achieve a sale. Luckily, these are qualities Linda has in abundance, along with a degree of professionalism and diligence beyond anything we've previously experienced. That professional approach drew us in from the start. We knew, and said to one another very early on, 'Linda will sell our house'. However, it wasn't necessarily Linda's commercial aptitude that impressed us most. It was her genuine care for us. We were both going through very difficult times with ageing parents we needed to care for half a world away. So selling was incredibly important to us. Linda is aided and supported by her sister, Jacquie, and the level of care, advice, generosity of spirit and knowledge she brings has to be experienced to be believed. I don't know what we would have done without her. Another thing that really stood out, and was essential to our success, was the openness and honesty demonstrated by both Linda and Jacquie. They told us what we needed to hear, not just what we might have wanted to hear, and did it with exceptional sensitivity. Being able to share things with candour and transparency is essential, or things can easily go off track. Having that ability to trust and rely on Linda and Jacquie's judgment made a huge difference. Linda and Jacquie's teamwork means the service they provide is at another level. That it was also always backed by real heart and genuine care meant the world to us.

This is the second time in just over two years that we have engaged Linda's services, and once again she has gone above and beyond to ensure the sale of our home was not only successful, but handled with the utmost professionalism and care. What truly sets Linda apart is her genuine care and her ability to leverage her extensive network of contacts. She skillfully orchestrated a chain of buyers and sellers, creating a ripple effect that resulted in several successful transactions-all of which ultimately led to the sale of our home. Her coordination, communication, and strategic thinking were nothing short of impressive. Linda made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. She kept us informed every step of the way, remained proactive in tackling any challenges, and showed genuine dedication to achieving the best outcome for us. Adding to her strength is the incredible team she has behind her. Jacqui and Helen were equally supportive, professional, and efficient, making the entire process even more seamless. Together, they operate like a well-oiled machine, each bringing their own strengths to the table and working in perfect sync. Linda's professionalism, market knowledge, people skills and genuine care were evident from day one, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her in our corner-twice. We would not hesitate to recommend Linda to anyone looking to sell or buy a property-Linda truly stands out in her field.

I would like to thank Linda Simmons and Jacquie McDonald for all their commitment to getting us the best price for our property and then finding our next home. The journey of getting your property market ready is easy with this duo, knowing all the contacts and organising trades nothing is an issue. With the purchasing of a property, it can be an overwhelming time, but we always felt well supported and informed during the auction process. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

As the most open and transparent of all sale methods, it’s of little surprise that in a competitive market, more than a third of all Kiwi sellers are choosing to list their property for sale by auction.

Deciding to sell at auction is a big decision which offers great benefits for suitable properties. A sale by auction puts serious buyers together in one place to determine true market value.

The auction process ensures transparency and an even playing field for all parties. Understanding the auction process means you’ll be cool, calm and collected when it comes time to bid.

How your home comes across in the first few minutes of viewing with a potential buyer can critically determine the outcome at the other end of the sale process.

As with many situations in life, being prepared and armed with the best knowledge and information, is the key to successfully managing a positive outcome for the sale of your home.

Winning consistent international praise for beautiful landscapes, evolving urban design and wonderful quality of life, buying a home in New Zealand has never been more attractive.
