10/10. This records our great appreciation of Dianne Collier-Brake’s skills in marketing and selling, in May 2023, our Waikanae home. At all times Dianne impressed with her professionalism, her knowledge, her adept communications, and her calm and engaging manner. Her attention to detail is absolutely excellent - which helped to relieve some of the pressure of putting a house on the market. We admired and were heartened by Dianne’s optimism and unflagging energy throughout the process, especially in view of the particularly challenging real estate market at the time. We are very pleased to recommend Dianne Collier-Brake as the “go to” agent in Kapiti for the very best possible representation.

Dianne was always thoroughly professional - efficient, informed, available - as well as empathetic and understanding of the difficulties of selling, downsizing, and moving.

Dianne bought many years of experience with her to the table to discuss the options of selling our house. Having a property that was different to other properties (we had a stormwater pond as our backyard) that was putting people off the property, however, after 5 or 6 weeks and in discussion with Dianne we changed our advertising to promoting the pond and the reason's we bought the property in the first instance. Dianne led that process.

10/10 - We asked Dianne Collier-Brake to organize the sale of our house as we had heard of her good reputation as a real estate agent. It turned out to be a very wise choice. From our first meeting with her, she gave us confidence as she outlined the sale process. She, with help from her husband, staged our home ready for the first of three Open Homes and Deadline Sale. While we were nervous about the likely level of interest in our property Dianne expressed confidence throughout the sale process that it would attract good offers. Dianne's detailed appraisal of our house turned out to be sound. The offers we received showed her advice had been excellent and the offer we accepted was way beyond our expectations. Throughout the sale process, Dianne remained encouragingly positive and we felt at all times we could rely on her advice and sound judgement. Her energy and vitality were inspiring and helped us overcome the stress of selling our house. We unreservedly recommend Dianne to anyone thinking of selling their property. She is a Waikanae treasure.

Provided exceptionally good service. Could not have been better! Dianne was always on hand to answer questions and give sound advice. We enjoyed the experience of her selling our house.

Dianne is the real estate agent who defies the stereo-type of real estate agents and I cannot recommend her highly enough for both buyers and sellers – she provides the very best service for both parties. During the past 12 months Dianne has continued to ensure that I was informed of other properties which seemed to fit what I was seeking and was tireless in showing a significant number of them to me. The house I have now bought resulted in a phone call from Dianne informing me that she had just seen (literally) a house that she thought was just what I was looking for - and that proved to be the case. From my experience Dianne is the perfect agent buyers and sellers. For sellers she makes every effort to ensure a potential buyer is made aware of all the selling points of a house; unlike most agents, she makes a genuine effort to ‘sell’ a property to a potential buyer without being pushy. For buyers Dianne takes the trouble to ascertain the essential, and less essential features of a house a buyer is looking for and goes the extra mile to find a match between a buyer’s requirements and a property. I have found Dianne to be completely reliable, extremely pleasant to work with and she possesses an exceptionally high level of integrity. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a real estate agent for buyers and sellers alike.

When my elderly uncle announced he was selling his house in Waikanae and moving in to a retirement village, he told me he had been recommended a very good land agent through friends in his church. I was introduced to Dianne and have been working closely with her over the last 8-10 weeks in getting the house ready for sale and then marketed. That recommendation has proved to be very good indeed. It has been a pleasure working with Dianne. What seemed like a mammoth task in getting the house ready was made so much easier by the wonderful support from Dianne right from day one. Her contacts for getting small jobs done around the house have all been excellent. I live almost 2 hours away in Whanganui and often I had to ask Dianne to meet various people at the house to get jobs done or furniture to be taken away, this was never a problem and was very much appreciated by myself, and my uncle. Dianne has been very professional in all her dealings with us, she made sure that my uncle was always the first to be informed on what was happening and was involved in all decisions relating to the sale of his house. I can recommend Dianne to anyone looking for an honest, trustworthy and reliable land agent. A land agent who is with you on the whole journey from the very beginning to the very end. Without wanting to sound too capitalistic, it is also about getting a good price for the house. We are very happy with the sale price and how the house was marketed. Thank you Dianne.
