I appointed Brett and Lyn Sawyers in November 2023 to list and sell my above property. I didn’t know them personally. However, from our first meeting and throughout the duration of the above they provided top service and an extremely high level of personal efficiency. I felt completely confident I’d engaged a team who were thorough, great communicators, compassionate and who had a natural rapport with people. At our first meeting Brett and I sat down to go through the Sale process step by step. He gave me printed material and top advice as to how to undertake the preparation and outlining what was required for marketing presentation. He went through every detail with enthusiasm and with his 20 years’ experience in the industry, covered both the major requirements to meet the market along with the minor work needed to complete this task. During this stage and before I’d sold, I found an urban house property (an opposition firm’s listing), I wanted to purchase and with no experience whatsoever buying at Auction, Brett offered to accompany me for both support and be my agent despite there being no financial gain in it for him. He consulted me on every aspect of the transaction ensuring I was prepared both mentally and financially and during the auction liaised, consulted, negotiated and strategised. We were successful. I now live in the property purchased. Brett deals with the ‘little matters’ in a way which doesn’t make you feel either ignorant or incompetent and with a natural enthusiasm for all things property, achieves. He follows up on every aspect of a transaction, explains clearly and gives good guidance and advice. His personality plays a big part in his successes to the point where you feel you are the only seller he’s dealing with. And there’s compassion thrown in. He checks to see how you are ‘trucking’ knowing the stresses involved in major property transactions. He arranged for the Ray White photographer to take the sale property photos which included drone footage and supervised in detail every shot required. The quality was outstanding. He took a team of three out to Crane Road for Open Homes. The driveway required ‘traffic management’ and he covered it. Justin Sims and Paige Kidwell assisted Brett. Open home reports were phoned to me virtually as Brett was leaving the property. The eventual buyers were the first open home viewers and Brett communicated with this couple throughout and included me in the pre-settlement inspection. The property settled in June 2024.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brett and Lynn as my agents for a property purchase. We loved their warm and friendly demeanor, which made me feel instantly comfortable and reassured. Throughout the entire buying process, Brett and Lynn were incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, providing us with valuable insights and guidance every step of the way. They were always available to answer any questions and went out of their way to make sure we felt safe and cared for during what can often be a stressful experience. What impressed us most about Brett and Lynn was the transparency they brought to the auction process. As a buyer, it can be difficult to navigate the sometimes murky waters of a property auction, but Brett and Lynn made it clear, open, and honest. They provided us with all the information we needed to make informed decisions. We would highly recommend Brett and Lynn to anyone looking for experienced, knowledgeable agents who truly care about their clients

I have known Brett Sawyers for about 20 years, both socially and professionally. I have always been impressed by his energy, strategic thinking, and common sense approach. For the recent sale, his professionalism, supported by his wife, Lyn Sawyers, was first class. The selling options were set out and discussed, the advice and guidance was clear, and they both did exactly what they said they would do. The online advertising was extremely comprehensive. The signage was appropriate. The open days were thorough, followed up with prompt reporting. At all times we were kept informed, and had access for further guidance if required. The sale process was successful and flawless from our point of view. We are very impressed and grateful for the assistance. We have no hesitation recommending Brett and Lyn to everybody else. Regards, Ian Reeves and Kim Wilkinson

We found Brett and Lyn Sawyers to be very professional, very friendly and extremely approachable. They listened to our directives in marketing our property and advised us if we were unsure of anything at any point along the way. As far as we are concerned they have gone far and beyond to also help us find our next house, unlike some other agencies we have dealt with in the past. We will definitely use their services and expertise again and recommend to family and friends to contact them should they need hardworking, trustworthy real estate agents themselves.

As per my previous comment.... We cannot speak highly enough of the experience we have had with Brett and Lyn Sawyers. As a team they created a beautiful marketing campaign and plan for our house sale, which drove a huge amount of interest in the property prior to the first open home. The video, photographs and marketing collateral were stunning. We were all set to hit the market strongly with our first weekend of Open Homes when Lockdown struck! With some very quick thinking, Brett and Lyn organised a 3D walk through video to be filmed for our home, which proved to be an absolute master stroke. They charged ahead, offering Private Viewings or great access to view the property online to buyers around the country. Across a 4 day period, which was to have included 3 Open Homes, Brett and Lyn provided round the clock service to us, working the phones to prospective buyers, carrying out private viewers and driving the interest in our home. They did not let any of the momentum slip at all, despite the conditions. This resulted in our auction date being pulled forward and multiple parties bidding on the property, despite being in Level 3 Lockdown. The result of the auction surpassed our expectations. We saw first hand how hard both Brett and Lyn worked for us and this sale, how flexible they were and how much strategy went into achieving the best outcome for us. Alongside this, they were a joy to work with, with first rate communication throughout the sale period. Thanks so much, we really felt that we were looked after by the best.

We deal with a lot of real estate agents in our everyday business and were extremely impressed with Brett and Lyn’s professionalism. There’s a lot of paperwork in a real estate listing transaction and he took the time to go through it all in detail and ensure it was all thoroughly completed. Would not hesitate to recommend Brett as someone I would 100% trust to sell and represent my property. Brett and Lyn's communication from listing to completion of the sale was excellent.

Matt & Sharon

Brett Sawyers is the consummate real estate professional: always thinking about the way to get the best for us, his clients. Thoughtful in negotiation, thorough in managing the detail, and enthusiastic about the potential of the market, he instilled confidence in us, and made sure we kept our feet on the ground during the marketing process. Brett has the flair and panache as well as the systems and support to get the best result. He is the complete package.

Dean

We contracted Brett & Lyn Sawyers to market and sell three homes we owned and had on the market for some time and had been unsuccessful in moving them. In the end, results speak for themselves and The Brett & Lyn Sawyers Team produced the results we were looking for. All three homes sold within a timeframe that met our expectations and considering the difficult market Northland had drifted into the result was even more professional and pleasing to us. I would, and have recommended potential clients to follow in our path of contracting Brett & Lyn Sawyers to market and sell their homes – referral business is something I don’t take lightly but I can say without hesitation that I trust both of them with the systems and processes they have put into place.

Paul & Di

Brett & Lyn Sawyers were very competent and knowledgeable which (plus their friendliness and efficient service) made the whole experience of selling two of our properties in quick time, very stress-free – much appreciated by two thankful geriatrics.

Don & Gill

We invited three agencies to put their proposition to us when we decided to sell our home, all people we knew or had met and felt could do a worthwhile job for us. From these three we chose Brett and Lyn to work for us. At no time did we regret this decision, either during the sale or after reaching a sale decision. They were forever in contact with us with updates and suggestions, and the result was a sale at a price we agreed that was acceptable and within a fair time frame. We are both happy to recommend Brett and Lyn to future prospective property owners to deal with you as a team who would handle your sale in both a friendly and professional manner and to expect a good result.

Pauline and Steve

We met Brett four years ago when we purchased our house in Whangarei. He was down to earth, genuine and approachable. When it came time to sell our property, we had no hesitation in asking Brett to be our agent. After meeting Lyn, both of us felt confident that together they would achieve a sale. Brett and Lyn worked tirelessly over a few months to get is across the line and went above and beyond to help this happen. Apart from being excellent at what they do, they are also lovely people. Brett’s passion for selling houses knows no bounds and if you want a solid agent to sell your house, look no further!

D & R

Brett & Lyn Sawyers did a fantastic job selling our home. We knew we would be out of the country for the duration of the sale period so we needed to find real estate agents with a formidable track record who we could trust completely in our absence. We made the right choice. Brett went above and beyond and did not miss one open home. Brett & Lyn were open, communicative, and receptive to making changes to the listing as the market shifted. I would recommend Brett & Lyn without reservation to anyone who needs to sell their home in the Whangarei area.
