We had an exceptional experience with Julie. She was warm, friendly, and consistently went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. Her communication was outstanding—keeping us updated every step of the way without ever being pushy or intrusive. Even after the sale was complete, she continued to check in, showing genuine care and commitment to our experience. If you're looking for a professional who balances expertise with a personable approach, Julie is the one to choose.
Julie arrived at my place for a meeting exactly when she said she would. She was punctual for all visits - open homes etc.
We decided for a change of lifestyle moving out of the city into the Wairarapa. It was a very challenging experience in such a flat market; a long 5 months of setbacks and delays but Julie was amazing, kept us positive and stood by us through the whole process. Stuck in a chain of subject to sales, Julie had to correspond with several other people involved and ensured everything was as co-ordinated and moving as best they could. Thanks to Julie we finally got a SOLD! sign up on the street and couldn't be happier with the result!. Her experience, professionalism, initiative and attitude along the way was invaluable to getting this result. Her communication is excellent, super responsive even out of working hours. Very knowledgeable in property and sales and always set realistic expectations for us based on the market. If it weren't for Julie, I don't believe we would of sold and would of dropped out of the race having to wait a few more years. My family are all so grateful for Julie and we're all so excited about the next chapter in our lives!

Helpful business like and friendly
Julie was an absolute pleasure to deal with she listened to what we wanted and gave us excellent advice along the way. She was professional and nice at the same time.
She provided a personal, professional service, giving us all the information we needed. She was one of the few agents who, when we were looking, contacted us with houses that she thought we might like, and followed up regularly to ask how our search was going. She contacted us about the house we bought and supported us through the purchase process. We are very happy with our purchase. It was her personal, professional approach that was the key.
Easy to deal with and highly responsive to my questions
Both Julie and Andre listened to the way we wanted to approach our sale and matched the marketing to it. They were very responsive with feedback and questions and we got a great outcome!
Julie was really professional and very considerate to the people living at the house, but most of all friendly and approachable. She kept us informed of everything that was happening and nothing was a bother for her.
Julie was first rate in every way. I was totally satisfied.
Julie and Andre were thoroughly reliable and professional throughout the marketing process. Our thanks for a hassle-free sale and a brilliant result. Completely trustworthy and professional in all aspects.
Friendly and approachable.
I could find no fault with Julie and thought that she went out of her way to be of assistance
Both Julie Griffin and Andre Bester handled the marketing and sale of my house on Friend Street in Karori. I had not known them before, and in asking them to oversee the sale and act as my agents, had simply chosen them from what I had observed in terms of their success in the Karori area. Their professionalism, sincerity and managing of all aspects of the sale was such that I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in Karori thinking of selling their property. In a difficult market, at a wintry time of the year, they achieved the price I had wanted. They proved to be extremely hard working, reliable, and careful at all stages of the sale and I would certainly ask them both to act for me in the future.
Just a note to say how much I appreciated your work in selling my house. You really went above and beyond! Thanks to you, I now have greater security (and less work) than before. Thanks for everything, you are stars in my sky!
When Mark first met Andre and Julie he decided that they were the ones to sell our home. They really appreciated the work we had done on the house, but mostly they were very friendly and approachable, and a feeling of trust was quickly built between us. We did not put our home on the market until a couple of years later, and did not hesitate to contact them again. And so the sale began. From the start Andre and Julie were constantly reassuring, professional, efficient, undoubtedly very experienced, and dedicated to promoting our place as best as could be done. Always courteous, and listening carefully to what we wanted, and to information about the house, they both were a pleasure to be with. Anytime we wanted to discuss anything, however trivial it might have seemed, they were quick in responding, acting on our wishes at the same as offering experience and good advice. Andre was the main person involved with the Open Homes, and for us this was an angst experience. He always responded immediately to any questions, gave full feedback weekly on what had happened at each Open Home. He carried us through this difficult time, as well as being an impressive negotiator. We felt confident that if anyone could sell our house, he could. Sure enough we had an offer by week 4, and Andre then skilfully negotiated the various terms of the settlement quickly and with much efficiency. Now that we are about to move out, I at present never want to go through a house sale again, but am so relieved we have chosen the right people to support us through it. 100% recommendation to anyone considering selling their home. I will now miss seeing them so often.
We have been delighted with the professionalism and great communication that Julie and André provided. They made the process and choices clear and easy, and we had confidence in their approach to meeting our requirements. They achieved a great outcome for us and we unreservedly recommend them.
Julie and Andre make a great team. They took my house on to sell within a very short time frame and I found their experience and their practical advice very helpful. For example, when the building report came through, they picked out a few things they thought were important to get looked at from the perspective of how it would impact on the selling of the house. The tender process as suggested by them worked as my house sold very quickly and for a very pleasing price. I felt they had a really good grasp of the market values going on in Karori at that time. Their positive attitudes and friendly natures made the house selling business seem like a breeze. I'm very grateful for the huge amount of time and effort they put in and am very thankful they were by my side through the whole process.
Right from the market appraisal and proposal that Andre prepared for my property, through to the marketing and sale, both Julie and Andre were consummate professionals. Their friendly manner, coupled with in-depth knowledge based on both the current market trends and their experience in the business, made for a warm relationship of trust when they took on the selling of my home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julie and Andre to anyone looking for two excellent real estate agents, whether you're buying or selling.
