Slide 1 of 3

We used Scott to sell a 50 hectare grazing block in Katikati. Scott has a very down to earth approach and his rural background means he knows the ins and outs of the market, the potential uses of the property and the applicable legal/regulatory environment. Scott did a great job of communicating clearly and regularly throughout the process and secured multiple offers on favourable terms. We would not hesitate to list again with Scott and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell rural or lifestyle property in the Bay of Plenty.

I wish to convey my sincere thanks for all your work and effort with the sale of our farm in Whatawhata. We appreciated your skill, professionalism, kindness and frequent communication. Your extensive list of contacts and our subsequent buyer proved to be invaluable, resulting in our outstanding sales result. I really appreciated working with you, someone I could trust and felt fully supported through out the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Scott, as I have used his services now in both purchasing and selling a farm. He is a real estate professional whom I completely trust.

We chose Scott to market our property and business after being impressed by the professional approach he showed when he originally sold the property to us. His down to earth and honest advice about market conditions and how to best market the property through the auction process really paid dividends. He made the whole process seamless, with a minimum of stress, and we can’t thank him enough. We are looking forward to Scott’s help, to find our next property.
