We had the pleasure of working with Ian and his team and couldn't be more impressed with his professionalism and expertise. From the beginning his communication was outstanding, always keeping us informed and promptly answering any questions we had, even the silly ones! What really stood out was Ian’s no bull approach—no fluff, just honest, straightforward advice that helped us make the right decisions. He consistently provided valuable feedback and did thorough research to ensure we were always aware of where we stood in the market. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will have your back every step of the way we highly recommend Ian Buchanan.

Selling your home can be stressful, and Ian helped smooth the entire process. I would highly recommend Ian, as his real estate knowledge, understanding of local market conditions, and clear communication skills with no 'bullsh#t' language meant the facts were presented, a clear marketing plan enacted, and expectations clearly met. Ian and his team managed the whole process efficiently and provided the support to complete a successful sale. Thank you, Ian.

I would happily recommend Shona and Ian to anyone selling their house. They made the whole process easy and were there to answer any questions we had. They both attended all open homes and followed up potential leads. Their marketing plan brought great results and ultimately ended in a successful auction. Achieving this in the current market is a credit to them both.

Ian has excellent product knowledge, takes a no nonsense approach and most of all he is honest. He is a great agent and I would recommend him. He made the transaction easy and pleasurable. A master of his craft. I have dealt with hundreds of agents and Ian stood out as one of the best. Richard - Lawyer

He was efficient, experienced and very knowledgeable. He managed the sale with professionalism, and his communication was excellent. His assistant was excellent, too.

If you're looking for a lifestyle / rural realtor, then look no further. Ian was an absolute pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to secure a sale on our bush block in tough market conditions. His market knowledge is outstanding and his vision for the sales campaign was creative, detailed and extremely proactive. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks Ian!

Friendly team, some we had met some others we hadn't. Concern from the team that we were.. Not overwhelmed. Were as comfortable as possible while difficult questions were being negotiated. Knew what and how the process would proceed.

Ian got the job done in a timely manner. He was always early or on time to appointments and open homes. Ian gave us realistic expectations about the market and sound advice on how to best navigate it. He was always available for a txt or call for any questions we had.

From the moment we have meet Ian he showed us 100% engagement and passion to be successful in the process of selling our property. Nothing but positivity, professional attitude and good humor comes out from this man. If we would had to go through this process again, Ian would be our first choice.

Ian Buchanan was a bloody legend when I was on the hunt for a new place. He was top-notch in everything he did, he was meticulous in his research and analysis, and paid attention to detail in every step. He was spot-on with his homework and advice, and always gave me straight-up and useful feedback. He was onto it with the details and made sure everything was done right and on time. He was also easy as to talk to and get a hold of. I reckon Ian Buchanan is the best choice for anyone who needs a solid and trustworthy real estate agent.

We would highly recommend Ian Buchanan at Bayleys. He is extremely diligent and knows how to impressively market a property with ease. He is highly driven, and professional and cares about the smallest of details. He has a warm and personable manner which takes so much stress out of the process. Ian had the sold sticker on our place after the first Open Home! Thank you so much to Ian and his team at Bayleys for their expertise.

Ian was patient and supportive about the sale of our property, at a time when the market experienced a slowdown and increasing rates. His communication was clear, timely, and always professional, being pragmatic and realistic in his approach. He was willing to go the extra mile when required and we are grateful for having him help sell our property.

Results Achieved Working with Ian was a pleasing relieve during what can be a very intense, stressful process as many of us may only sell our personal home two or three times in a lifetime. Experience, considered and respectfully can all be applied to sum up Ian.

Pleasant and professional staff. We were made to feel very welcome at the auction. Tenacity and positivity from our agent. We felt the entire team was united in their efforts to work for us as vendors. Thank you Bayleys Pukekohe.

We discovered Ian when looking at another property. He impressed us from the outset with his professionalism and yet down to earth attitude. HIs enthusiasm for a positive result in a rather sluggish market was astounding. Highly recommend Ian as an agent that works hard for his client. His communication was great, he was always punctual with appointments, and was adaptable to changing circumstances. He has an innate ability to see an opportunity and make it work for his clients. It was a pleasure to work with Ian and we are delighted with the result.

We had a bit of a challenge with the sale of our house and timings going unconditional. Ian was informative and went out of his way to work within our short timeframes. He was very knowledgeable on the new property we ended up purchasing via auction.

Was a great experience to have worked with Ian to buy our home. Ian made every step of the process easy and was always at hand to help in every way possible. Provided that human touch.

I highly recommend Ian for his support and the amazing help he provided me on the selling of my property. He has a friendly manner and is easy to talk to. He always kept me totally informed in all aspects of the sale and all communications got a prompt response back. Having lived here for over 20 years the decision to downsize was a difficult one. I felt my home was in good hands with someone who knew the market and spent considerable time taking prospective buyers over the property. He made the selling stress-free and for that I will be forever grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Ian for anyone looking for an agent for purchasing or selling a property as he went well and truly above and beyond.

We recently sold a lifestyle block in Bombay with Ian and while this can be a very stressful process, we felt 110% confident by partnering with Ian. He was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. In addition, Ian was extremely responsive to every one of our questions, no matter how big or small. As we move forward to now buy our next house, I am extremely certain Ian will be the right consultant to help us navigate this process

I selected Ian Buchanan as preferred Real Estate Agent to sell my property from receiving a mail drop card, and determining his attributes from reading his bio and record of past sales. Upon meeting Ian for the first time I was convinced I had made the right choice. His confident and assertive manner, presentation, and overall concern for my needs put me at ease. As the marketing campaign progressed where Ian conducted immaculate open homes, under the duress of Covid, I was assured by Ian's confidence that I would make a sale at an acceptable price, and indeed it proved to be. I was relaxed at the auction and won the day - all thanks to Ian. I couldn't have done it without him! I extend my thanks and good wishes to Ian and his lovely wife for their kindness and understanding.

We first met Ian at a property we were interested in purchasing. The first thing we noticed was that the marketing portrayed the property for exactly how it was. After looking at the ad online then visiting, it was as though we had already been there. This is a quality we have found to be rare. There were some obstacles to deal with in the process. During this time it was obvious if there was work to be done for either party Ian was going to put the effort into getting it done even though we were unsuccessful. Once we employed Ian to selling our property he was very confident in his methods. With the relationship we had it was not difficult to put our trust in him. After 4 days of being on the market we had a pre auction offer that could not be refused. To our delight the auction carried forward and with another interested party owning the house. As far as selling your home goes this put as little stress/ strain on our family as I could have imagined and a great result as the purchasers were also over the moon. Thanks Ian.

Marketing our property with Ian Buchanan was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He was highly professional yet personable and we felt he was by our side every step of the way. We felt 100% confident to hand over the keys and the reigns to let Ian do what he does best and he didn't disappoint. Thanks again Ian. Awesome job!
