Client Testimonials

We have worked with Shane on both sides of the transaction. We’ve found him excellent to work with, and have really appreciated his straight-shooting approach - you don’t feel like there’s any smoke and mirrors. This was refreshing when buying, and important to us when selling. Our observation is that Shane puts in a lot of effort into the process. 10/10 recommend.
Tom & Meg | Vendors & Buyers

We chose Shane as our agent because he worked and knew the delights of living in our area. Words cannot express Shane’s friendly, communicative professional approach in marketing our home of 38 years to achieve our retirement plans. Our grateful thanks to our new friend.
Robyn & Ian | Vendors

A very refreshing experience. Shane was easy to trust, he listened to what we wanted, and was very intuitive, and he worked hard and honestly to sell our house, delivered an excellent result in a difficult market and tight time frame. Highly efficient and extremely sincere, absolutely professional and a calming presence in what can be a stressful process, couldn't recommend more highly.
Margot & Lukas | Vendors

Genuine and efficient! I met Shane as a purchaser and soon wished he’d managed my sale instead of who I listed with! I found him to be genuine, efficient and respectful to work with. He’s an excellent communicator in all aspects:style, method and frequency. Shane is warm and friendly, doing all he can for the very best outcome for all involved in the sale/purchase process.
Fiona | Buyer

We wanted to acknowledge your hard work during the recent sale of our home on Cashmere Hill. As ambivalent sellers, a neighbour recommended we meet you to talk through our options. From that first meeting with you we felt very comfortable with your suggestions for a possible sale. You were easy to talk to and at no time did we feel talked down to or patronised (as can happen when dealing with oldies sometimes). During each step of the way from open home to auction and then to successful sale we have felt supported by you. Your suggestions for any home “changes” were well informed. We valued the feedback following open homes or individual vendor visits. The auction experience was a most enjoyable experience. We will miss our regular contact with you now we are moving on, but rest assured we are spreading the word of your good service and would not hesitate to use you again should the need arise.
Ken & Lucille | Vendors

Shane made our house sale stress-free. We were older nervous sellers; Shane listened and understood our needs, responding with compassion and kindness. Shane is professional, has excellent real estate knowledge and adopts a very ethical approach. He always went the extra mile, was readily available, got us the right result and ensured we felt safe, informed, and guided throughout the process.
Gail & Peja | Vendors

Shane is absolutely the most genuine real estate agent I have met. He took the time to share the first home buying process with my fiance and I and he answered all of our questions without hesitation. I would highly recommend Shane! We will definitely be buying and selling with him in the future.
