'Thanks to Craig I was successful in buying my dream home!' Craig was very personable and professional in all his dealings. he was extremely patient and helpful in explaining the building contract to me and how this was reflected in the letter of offer. I felt I was being supported to make a good investment decision, rather than being bullied into putting in the highest bid. Thanks to Craig I was successful in buying my dream home.
'Exceptional amongst agents'. Craig was the exception amongst the agents we used. Despite us saying no so many times, he was the only one to stay engaged for the whole time without giving any sense of being frustrated/annoyed that we were not settling on something. He was always courteous, helpful and able to get stuff from the Vendors that we needed because of his contacts and tenacity
'He knows what he is doing and has proven to be really good at it'. Selling and upgrading has been generally smooth for us and Craig has been instrumental to both. He helped us to secure the new house and sell our current house. Suffice to say, He knows what he's doing and has proven to be really good at it. He's been transparent all throughout the process and has been responsive and accommodating to our every request and suggestions and feedback. We appreciate how much hard work it must have been for him especially that all these happened while we were overseas. What a feat! Thumbs up! And huge, huge thanks!

In November 2016 I engaged Mr. Craig Freear of Leaders, Johnsonville, to sell my house at 30 Longcroft Terrace, Newlands, Wellington 6037. He was most helpful in every way possible. I had resided in this home, which we designed and built, for over 50 years. Consequently I had no experience of buying and selling real estate. To prepare my home for a successful sale minor repairs were needed. Craig was able to advise me of suitable tradesmen, and he even met with them and supervised the work. I have been a widow for several years and am elderly and frail, so a lot of patience and extra help was required from Craig. I want to give Craig the credit for selling my home for such a good price. He is a very professional and competent salesman. Yours sincerely Mrs. N Fox
We purchased a house being sold by Craig Freear and following this we asked him to sell our home as we were impressed with his careful and thorough approach. We were keen to have him represent us in the sales process as he clearly demonstrated professionalism and integrity during the purchase of the new house. When it came to selling our house Craig thoughtfully guided us through our sale process which he made far easier than we anticipated. To top it all off the result he achieved for us was beyond our expectations. We would not hesitate to use him again and highly recommend him.

As a first-time seller, during a stressful time, I needed solid, trustworthy advice and guidance without the cheesy talk that can be common when dealing with sales people. I sort three real estate appraisals, two large corporates and one independent agent. Craig Freear was the independent agent who had the quickest response, with the most complete information, clearly had the most experience and with a background in building was clear pick winner. I was delighted by the support, advice and understanding offered by Craig throughout the entire experience. He provided realistic expectations enabling me to understand all options available to me. I was impressed by his open, honest approach and appreciated his integrity and character that shone through. Craig was the person clearly working in my best interests. It was a difficult property to present for sale and required sensitivity to negotiate. Craig managed the whole process respectfully to all parties and managed to move a property that potentially could have been on the market for a very long time. My family and friends are impressed and we are hoping to use Craig's services in the near future . We'd be hard pushed to find anyone near the calibre of Craig Freear
'He left no stone unturned to ensure the highest result'. My association with Craig Freear began 16 years ago. He was then instrumental in helping my wife and myself work through the requirements, costing and design of our new home. Craig was always attentive, patient, honest and energetic. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He was notable for always listening to our needs and finding solutions to problems. With his guidance our new house became our dream home. 16 years later, for health reasons, it became necessary for us to downsize and sell our dream home. We had no hesitation in calling upon Craig to market and sell our home. He was a person we knew we could fully trust and have confidence in. Thanks to Craig's professional expertise, the house was successfully marketed and sold. Throughout the whole procedure we were fully advised through every stage with Craig's informative reporting programme and his regular visits and sound advice. He left no stone unturned to ensure highest results. I can vouch to the long hours he spent working for the successful result he achieved for us. I have no hesitation in recommending Craig to anybody seeking his property expertise. In my opinion he is a very positive win/win person.
'Record price thanks 'to Craig's incredible work' We worked with Craig Freear in 2018 to sell our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased! We received multiple offers when the tender closed, thanks in large part to Craig’s incredible work. Craig listened to our brief and instructions and was happy to work collectively to develop and agree the marketing programme, which in turn enabled him to bring through only serious buyers. His efforts with the buyers worked wonderfully as he kept the passion alive with them to enable a record sale price for the area. He was always available to answer any of our questions. He was very responsive, a true professional, a trustworthy agent, and a genuinely nice guy. We had a great experience! We highly recommend Craig!
