Went the extra mile and excellent communication throughout the selling process.

We will be recommending John and Sandy to friends and family in the future.

John was diligent and always making sure we were in the loop. Excellent communication from Sandy and we were always kept up to date with feedback. Team Martis are extremely efficient and made the selling process a breeze.
We first met John & Sandy Martis while viewing open homes when looking to buy. We spent a number of months out every Sunday viewing various houses and met a lot of Agents. We put offers on several houses but missed out due to multi offers situation. We had dealings with a large number of Agents during this time, and a couple of the houses we put offers on were being sold by John & Sandy. What stood out to me about John and Sandy was that they took time to really talk to you. They were never in a rush. They asked us about what our needs were, and seemed very genuine and honest in character. They explained things very well and made sure you were fully informed regarding the home and the sale process. So when we decided to sell our own home we decided to appoint John and Sandy to handle the sale. We had a few setbacks due to our personal situation and John and Sandy were very patient and supportive through the process. Finally once we got things moving and had the photos taken. Their photographer did an amazing job and the photos really showed the great points of our home. Once listed our home sold within a week, during level 4 lockdown, with no physical viewings and at an outstanding price. John and Sandy showed me that they always put their client’s needs first. Their integrity and ethics are outstanding and you know right the way through the process that you can trust them and that you are being looked after. Thanks again John and Sandy, I won’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know.
This is the second property that John & Sandy have sold for us. The reason we used them is they did such a good job on the first one, and it was the same with this one. We believe they are in the top one percent of agents here in Napier - Ray White is extremely lucky to have them.
Both John and Sandy could be constantly trusted to ensure we were well informed, knew what was needed to proceed smoothly and assisted us in all matters. They are both professional and very kind.
John was professional. His expertise was reassuring and calming. Both Sandy and John communicated extremely well with me throughout the whole process.
John and Sandy are first class operators who keep you fully informed during the sale process to make selling a property an enjoyable and stress free experience.
John Martis is that rare find of an honest, hard-working agent who goes more than that extra mile for his clients. He has an empathy with people that is both calming and unusual in his dedication to the job in hand. His knowledge and experience is greatly needed these days in what has become a cut-throat business. I could not recommend him more highly, he is indeed the jewel in Ray White's crown.
John & Sandy work hard for their clients to get the best results possible. We have worked with John & Sandy for some years now and have sold both a family home and rental properties with their help in entirely different markets. They are a great team, have years of experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering selling or buying real estate.
John was excellent, he took great care of Vanessa and I. John really went above and beyond in getting some items repaired for us before moving in - things we hadn't even mentioned! John and Sandy were both lovely to work with, would definitely recommend both or work again with John and Sandy.
When first contacted, John was very attentive to our needs and was very helpful in his advice. Along with his wife Sandy they went all out to find properties they thought would be suitable for us, eventually finding what we now hope will be our forever home. Both John and Sandy were very pleasant and professional to deal with.

John was interested in finding us a home from our very first phone call when I rang from Palmerston North to say we were relocating. He was true to his word and rang us about the home when it hit the market. John and Sandy have been outstanding and very supportive through the whole process and are very grateful.
John handled the whole process very smoothly and business like. He became more of a friend than an agent. The same for his wife Sandy.
He sold my mums previous house 18 years ago and every year still delivered mum a calendar! He was very professional and easy to deal with and kept us up to date throughout the process.
Efficient, friendly and full of knowledge.
We have worked with several agents from different companies in the past and present and have John to be Stand Out. He was the only one who knew everything about the property we were looking at to buy and also about our home we were selling. He took the time to get to know how we were thinking and communicated in a way that we understood. He is very empathetic and has a genuine interest and passion for what he does - his service was outstanding :-)
Brilliant, open and honest with great communication. He and Sandy make a great team together and when they said they would do something - they did it. Have bought and sold several properties and they are the best agents we have used.

Thank you John for everything.

He's a straight forward person, pragmatic and easy to deal with.
John and Sandy were very professional, informative, and proactive throughout the process of the purchase, and also whilst we were looking for a property.
My mum bought this house through John 15 years ago and when we contacted him to do the sale for us he arrived armed with all the information from back then so that enabled us to move very quickly into the selling process. John & Sandy kept us informed of everything that was happening and within a week the house was sold. They had even filed the sale with our lawyers so there was nothing left to do until the handover date. Very impressed with both John and Sandy’s professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for agents.

Very straightforward. Also very good knowledge of the local market

Attention to detail of everything .Not living in the place house being marketed, really appreciated the detailed feed back . Also thought a lot of effort had been put into the appraisal for me.
Our experience with John and Sandy Martis when buying our first home was absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make everything was easy for us, they also wanted to make sure everything was as safe as possible at the house for our small children. When sharing our experience with friends and family they too were all blown away as their experiences when buying were not as exceptional as ours. We feel super lucky that they were the property agents of our now new home! Many many thanks!
Excellent Service and Advise. We were kept very well informed during the Sale.

Sandy & John have been wonderful to deal with from the start to the end of our purchase. Both down to earth people that stayed away from the typical real estate spin (Tremains I would never go to again as Harcourts fall into this bracket as well) whereas John & Sandy were honest and so very helpful. They even left us bags of wood after the purchase as so I stayed warm on a freezing night.

At time of wife's ill health John went way above and beyond call of duty - he was marvellous.

Georgia and I had dealt with a few real estate agents over the past year and they were very 'money hungry' and bad liars, clearly pushing prices, John on the other hand was VERY professional, followed the law and not once did he encourage more money out of me. He made a personnel bonding and relationship with us and it was an absolute joy to work with Sandy and John. Great people.

Thank you for your professional help. Your attention to detail and for keeping us in the loop with regular reports was very much appreciated. Your appraisal of the current market and the likely sum we could possibly realise for our property transpired to be most accurate. We were all the more pleased with the outcome when considering the time of the sale was right on Christmas Eve. We wish to thank the people at Ray White real estate who were involved in the sale ably led by yourselves. Thank you for your encouragement along the way.
John and Sandy recently assisted my wife and me in purchase of our home in Napier. Throughout the process I found they provided exemplary service with a high level of professionalism and integrity. John and Sandy clearly love their work and always went the extra mile for us – going well beyond what we expected by means of advocacy on our behalf, providing invaluable information and key contacts, honest appraisal and always exceptional communications. We had no hitches in the purchase process – all bases were covered due to their thoroughness, attention to detail and timely communication. We have been involved with a considerable number of real estate professionals during our earlier sale and subsequent purchase process. However John and Sandy are head and shoulders above anyone else we have worked with in terms of professionalism, helpfulness, integrity and genuine interest in us and our situation. John is an invaluable source of local knowledge and I have come to value his advice. We sing their praises to all of our friends and new local contacts. We wholeheartedly recommend John and Sandy to anyone seeking real estate assistance in the Napier/Hawkes Bay region.

I bought that house through you and I sold that same house through you – I am a very satisfied customer! Many thanks and my best wishes…. Katie Jeffery
We would like to convey our sincere thanks to you both for your assistance and thoughtfulness during the process of selling our home of 40+ years. We appreciated your advice, patience and insight into our unique needs, and for being at the end of the phone at all times to answer our queries. The Open Home process was one which were unsure of, but you managed it well, and gave us prompt feedback about the number of viewers and potential buyers and alleviated our concerns. Thank you also for including our sons informed, and included by phone in the discussion following opening of the offers for the home. The service you provided was professional, responsive and honest at all times, and we are very happy that we chose you as agents to sell our home, and would be pleased to recommend both of you to any potential home sellers or buyers.
