Client testimonials

Slide 1 of 30

I used Jackie Herkt at Bayleys for my house sale in Blenheim. I found Jackie to be professional at all times. The sale went through smoothly and the service I received was very good. Thank you Jackie and Bex.

Wendy Launay

Jackie and Bex were truly wonderful to work with. They were professional, warm and caring while taking away all the pressure for us selling our home. They had a great eye for detail and helped us at each stage of the journey. We were really happy with our result and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. We would definitely use them again. Thank you both so much for making our home sale a stress-free experience.

Jess & Duncan Bond

The professional approach and support we had from the agent and willingness to help us with any advise on how to get the best out of the property plus their friendly manner. We bought our property over the Christmas break and in a hurry as we had to move out of our previous property. The Job got done despite the difficulties of having legal professionals away for the Christmas break. Well done!

Matthew & Naomi Petersen

Jackie is 100% professional and extremely dedicated to us as her client. Working with Jackie and her team to find our perfect property was eased by their highly efficient communication skills. Jackie was excellent at responding to messages or questions and was always there to answer queries and find solutions throughout the whole process from our first call to us collecting the keys. She was a very reassuring and confident person to have present in the more stressful moments of purchasing a home. Jackie was determined to find us the property that we were after and with her help this was successfully achieved, no easy feat as we were then living in the North Island, and she always made the time to fit in to our tight and limited visits south. We thank you sincerely Jackie.

Caroline & Simon

Very helpful for first home purchase, I dealt with Jackie throughout the purchase of my first home. Jackie was more than understanding of my lack of house buying knowledge and happy to help. Jackie Herkt Team go out of their way to make things go smoothly.

Liam Gee

Jackie provided quality advice and showed a good understanding and knowledge of the process. The communication was excellent and we were kept informed throughout. This resulted in a great experience and outcome. We highly recommend Jackie and her team.

Phil & Wendy Hughes

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best agent we have ever met, thanks Jackie!

Lisa & Ju

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highest Recommendation I am writing to give Jackie Herkt my highest recommendation. I recently needed to engage a real estate agent to purchase a property for my elderly mother in Blenheim. Being located in the North Island it was important that I could trust and depend on the agent. Jackie proved to be the right person for purchasing the property. Jackie possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent real estate agent. She knows her market extremely well; she is diligent, responsive, and yet was very understanding with my mother. Jackie is both very professional and personable. She clearly takes pride in doing a good job. In our particular case, there were a few issues on the road to buying and in every instance Jackie was a great help. It would be hard to envision someone doing a better job than Jackie or being anything but happy in choosing to work with her.

Garry Chapman

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A professional, helpful and understanding team We were very pleased with the service your team provided during the sale of our property. You were always professional, understanding of our needs and helpful with advice. We realise that selling property during this time is quite challenging and we appreciate your patience as we worked through the sale.

Chris and Mary-Anne Reid

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect experience Many thanks to Jackie and Bex for selling our house for us, whilst we went overseas. From the open homes to the communication, everything went smoothly for us, with a good result at the end. Thanks again

Trevor & Lynda

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 I could not imagine a better Real-estate team to use For transparency, I had never met Jackie or her team before selling with them. We were looking for an agent who was knowledgeable, experienced and unflappable in an uncertain market. We also wanted an agent who was hungry and enthusiastic who would go the extra distance, and all this coupled with a great support network. With Jackie, Bex and Cat this is what we got, in spades. When going through the roller-coaster trip of selling, Jackie was there to steer the ship, no problem was too great or small, she knew the market, the area and the potential buyers and always had a backup plan at the ready, sometimes several! Communication was always on point, they listened to us, were sensitive to our situation, took (and gave) direction when needed. To the point that I trusted Jackie and her team completely, without reserve. They exceeded all our expectations. You will not find a better agency anywhere (full stop).

Rod Topp

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Couldn't be happier. Call Jackie! Highly recommend Jackie, Bex and Cat for anyone looking to buy/sell in the Marlborough region. Neither my husband or I are from Blenheim, and beginning the search for our first home purchase was a bit daunting. After finding a home that we loved, we got in touch with Jackie and from there she was available and interested in what we needed and we felt she genuinely had our best interest in mind. She kindly navigated a tour of the property (on short notice) and communicated with us openly and honestly about important details of the sale. Her direct and no-nonsense approach was refreshing and helped us understand what was/wasn't possible in regards to the property. After viewing the property, we promptly put an offer in, the venders accepted and we signed paperwork! The process was efficient, straightforward and painless. From the first phone call to going unconditional on the house, Jackie checked in often and made sure we had what we needed. She even provided a detailed list of local contractors to use as we begin the process of renovating the property. (Being new members of the Marlborough community, this was a huge help.) Will use Team Jackie again to buy/sell in the future! Thank you Bayleys & Team Jackie.

Murray & Caitlin

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our experience with Jackie was very professional and she has a wealth of real estate knowledge We had a few viewings then Jackie suggested 23C and we had a look and it was just what we were looking for. She was on time and it was a breeze to get signed up.

Michele & Richard

Jackie came across as a knowledgeable caring agent with a big heart ❤️. Jackie Herkt won my elderly mothers heart with her caring professional attitude and knowledge of the market at the time. This enabled peace of mind moving forward for Mum.

Tracey

Bex and Jackie have been incredible to work with. As buyers it's often hard to find an agent who really has your best interests at heart, but we have been supported, encouraged and well looked after throughout. They're really proactive and responsive, taking everything on our wish list in their stride and finding the house we wanted! Great at getting into detail and making sure we have everything covered, they've given us confidence when we needed it most. Cannot recommend them enough.

Carola & Martin

Jackie and Bex were amazing. They went out of their way to help us find our dream home. Nothing seemed to ever be an issue and their local knowledge was invaluable. They make a great team and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Terry & Michelle

Jackie has good communication skills and an easy, straightforward way of dealing with people. She was our selling agent in three recent sales. The first sale was complicated by the house developing a leak after it was listed and while we were out of the country. A home seller’s nightmare. Jackie stepped up, organised and managed the repairs until I was able to return and take over. We chose Jackie for the two subsequent sales.

Trish Cashin

Jackie and Bex were a terrific team. They started with an honest and frank appraisal of our property, ideas for putting it forward in the marketplace, and guidance on pricing and promotion. Ours came to the market at a particularly difficult time but Jackie and Bex stuck with it and got it sold. We always felt they had faith in the house and believed in its saleability.

Nicole & Bryce Ecklein

Selling our house with Jackie was effortless. She understood our instructions well. She had a very firm strong knowledge of the market. We trusted her completely while on the market her team as well as Jackie were in contact almost every few days. Feed back when they bought someone through was that day. We rate Jackie and her team highly and would not hesitate to do it all again in the future.

Stuart & Chris Washington

We really enjoyed working with Jackie to sell our property in Dry Hills. As we were abroad at the time it was vital to have someone who not only wanted to sell the property, but also give us honest advice on how to prepare our home in the best possible way. Our home looked amazing in the Bayleys catalogue and every box was ticked when it came to pitching the home to the right audience. Jackie was superb with her communication throughout the whole process and we were delighted with the sale price on auction day. I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie and Bex if you are selling or buying in Marlborough because you will get a team who really listen to your needs and will help you get there. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Jonathan & Sarah

We bought a home just outside Blenheim and the challenge was we live in far Northland. Jackie kept the process of the purchase really easy with her prompt and clear communication, our questions were handled really professionally . The whole process just ran smoothly. We highly recommend her as a knowledgeable professional and would use her services without hesitation in the future. Jackie works with her 2 daughters and they make a great team.

David & Ewa

Bought our property over the xmas break and in a hurry as we had to move out of our previous property. Job got done despite the difficulties of having legal beagles away for the xmas break . Well done!

Michael Holmes

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Above and Beyond Jackie and her team went above and beyond, helping us through every step of the process of buying our first home. Truly can’t thank them enough!

Harrison & Daisy

We couldn't be happier with the results she got for us A wonderful team of friendly people in the Bayleys Blenheim office their support and respect for each other shines through. They are all good agents here but we chose Jackie Herkt to market for us, and we couldn't be happier with the results she got for us. Her personality suited our needs. Jackie is genuine, has years of experience, enthusiasm and she leaves no rock unturned. She displays confidence but is not pushy and she works very hard for you. If we felt moments of panic Jackie kept us calm. We were kept informed and guided through the process, from property appraisal to unconditional sale. Thank you Jackie and to the Bayleys team.

Peter & Katrina

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She made a tricky process easy and a pleasure! Working with Jackie Herkt to purchase an investment property in Blenheim was seamless and and a pleasure! As out of town buyers, we had 1 day to view properties in Marlborough. Jackie had a clear plan and insight to what was available, she had done her homework. We viewed 8 properties on a Friday and by the following Wednesday our offer on the 'best property as an investment for us' had been accepted. She then supported us right until take over day. This level of service when you are from out of town is invaluable and we recommend her and her team very highly.

Amanda & Joe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very friendly service, guided us the whole way through the process of selling and buying. Most professional, keep us informed of every step, grave us all the contacts we needed. Even provided their u haul to help us shift, which was so much appreciated. Very pleased with your agency. Thank you for all you have done for us. Kalvin and Maree Robinson

Kalvin & Maree Robinson

I bought my property through Bex and she was very easy to deal with. Bex had a great relaxed style, was very easy to deal with and was always willing to help with nothing being too much trouble. I would be happy using Bex again.

Grant Benge

I found Jackie Herkt to be very professional and she managed to ease my eager impatience really well. Great communication and she went above and beyond to make sure I found/bought the right house. Very honest and followed up even after the house purchase was complete I would definitely recommend Jackie to someone else.

Ricky White

Jackie came across as a knowledgeable caring agent with a big heart ❤️. Jackie Herkt won my elderly mothers heart with her caring professional attitude and knowledge of the market at the time. This enabled peace of mind moving forward for Mum.

Tracey

Bex and Jackie have been incredible to work with. As buyers it's often hard to find an agent who really has your best interests at heart, but we have been supported, encouraged and well looked after throughout. They're really proactive and responsive, taking everything on our wish list in their stride and finding the house we wanted! Great at getting into detail and making sure we have everything covered, they've given us confidence when we needed it most. Cannot recommend them enough.

Carola & Martin

Jackie and Bex were amazing. They went out of their way to help us find our dream home. Nothing seemed to ever be an issue and their local knowledge was invaluable. They make a great team and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Terry & Michelle

Jackie has good communication skills and an easy, straightforward way of dealing with people. She was our selling agent in three recent sales. The first sale was complicated by the house developing a leak after it was listed and while we were out of the country. A home seller’s nightmare. Jackie stepped up, organised and managed the repairs until I was able to return and take over. We chose Jackie for the two subsequent sales.

Trish Cashin

Jackie and Bex were a terrific team. They started with an honest and frank appraisal of our property, ideas for putting it forward in the marketplace, and guidance on pricing and promotion. Ours came to the market at a particularly difficult time but Jackie and Bex stuck with it and got it sold. We always felt they had faith in the house and believed in its saleability.

Nicole & Bryce Ecklein

Selling our house with Jackie was effortless. She understood our instructions well. She had a very firm strong knowledge of the market. We trusted her completely while on the market her team as well as Jackie were in contact almost every few days. Feed back when they bought someone through was that day. We rate Jackie and her team highly and would not hesitate to do it all again in the future.

Stuart & Chris Washington

We really enjoyed working with Jackie to sell our property in Dry Hills. As we were abroad at the time it was vital to have someone who not only wanted to sell the property, but also give us honest advice on how to prepare our home in the best possible way. Our home looked amazing in the Bayleys catalogue and every box was ticked when it came to pitching the home to the right audience. Jackie was superb with her communication throughout the whole process and we were delighted with the sale price on auction day. I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie and Bex if you are selling or buying in Marlborough because you will get a team who really listen to your needs and will help you get there. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Jonathan & Sarah

We bought a home just outside Blenheim and the challenge was we live in far Northland. Jackie kept the process of the purchase really easy with her prompt and clear communication, our questions were handled really professionally . The whole process just ran smoothly. We highly recommend her as a knowledgeable professional and would use her services without hesitation in the future. Jackie works with her 2 daughters and they make a great team.

David & Ewa

Bought our property over the xmas break and in a hurry as we had to move out of our previous property. Job got done despite the difficulties of having legal beagles away for the xmas break . Well done!

Michael Holmes

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Above and Beyond Jackie and her team went above and beyond, helping us through every step of the process of buying our first home. Truly can’t thank them enough!

Harrison & Daisy

We couldn't be happier with the results she got for us A wonderful team of friendly people in the Bayleys Blenheim office their support and respect for each other shines through. They are all good agents here but we chose Jackie Herkt to market for us, and we couldn't be happier with the results she got for us. Her personality suited our needs. Jackie is genuine, has years of experience, enthusiasm and she leaves no rock unturned. She displays confidence but is not pushy and she works very hard for you. If we felt moments of panic Jackie kept us calm. We were kept informed and guided through the process, from property appraisal to unconditional sale. Thank you Jackie and to the Bayleys team.

Peter & Katrina

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She made a tricky process easy and a pleasure! Working with Jackie Herkt to purchase an investment property in Blenheim was seamless and and a pleasure! As out of town buyers, we had 1 day to view properties in Marlborough. Jackie had a clear plan and insight to what was available, she had done her homework. We viewed 8 properties on a Friday and by the following Wednesday our offer on the 'best property as an investment for us' had been accepted. She then supported us right until take over day. This level of service when you are from out of town is invaluable and we recommend her and her team very highly.

Amanda & Joe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very friendly service, guided us the whole way through the process of selling and buying. Most professional, keep us informed of every step, grave us all the contacts we needed. Even provided their u haul to help us shift, which was so much appreciated. Very pleased with your agency. Thank you for all you have done for us. Kalvin and Maree Robinson

Kalvin & Maree Robinson

I bought my property through Bex and she was very easy to deal with. Bex had a great relaxed style, was very easy to deal with and was always willing to help with nothing being too much trouble. I would be happy using Bex again.

Grant Benge

I found Jackie Herkt to be very professional and she managed to ease my eager impatience really well. Great communication and she went above and beyond to make sure I found/bought the right house. Very honest and followed up even after the house purchase was complete I would definitely recommend Jackie to someone else.

Ricky White

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceeded expectations! Jackie took charge and made the sales process smooth and easy. Being out of town, she has gone the extra mile and taken care of the whole process.

Michelle & Daniel Payton

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very helpful, I have found Jackie very helpful right to the end. Thanks heaps team.

Methods of sale

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.

Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.

  • Auctions are the most transparent sales process, putting all qualified purchasers together in one room, increasing competition to aid determination of fair market value
  • A sale under the auction hammer is cash unconditional, providing sellers with certainty to plan their next move
  • The deadline timeframe of the auction process creates urgency and a window for buyers to complete due diligence

Usually set over a specific four-or-five week timeframe, the tender process leverages the timeframe element to invite buyers to submit a formal offer. After this, you can negotiate the terms of the sale with your preferred purchaser.

Expressions of interest invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.

Properties offered for sale by negotiation leave value to be determined by the market. This is where the advice and experience of your qualified Bayleys salesperson can assist in determining where you see value for the property and are comfortable accepting an offer. Sales by negotiation are generally open-ended, with the absence of time pressure on both buyers and sellers.
