Murray was great at guiding us through our selling options and what we needed to address as well as giving us some idea of where our house might sit in the market place. He was also incredibly patient in waiting for the optimum conditions that would allow an inviting presentation of the property. He also seized opportunity to steer possible suitable buyers who hadn’t enquired our way. We felt we were in good hands.
Murray and the whole Ray White Tutukaka Team were a pleasure to deal with. They listened and acted accordingly.
Good genuine guy
Murray was always very responsive, and approached our sale in a professional manner. He clearly knew the market well and was an excellent judge of the situation.
Murray has given us excellent service, giving his time , attention and care unstintingly and encouraged us to persevere during challenging times along the way.
Very responsive, made it easy
Murray communicated extremely well during the entire listing to selling process of a difficult property to market in unusual times
Overall the experience was "VERY Stressful" However, throughout the time we were trying to sell, Murray always worked tirelessly in spite of the many issues and problems we all faced with what he considered our best interest(s) at heart
Murray was fantastic a real pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. Made everything very easy and doable. His local knowledge was great for us also as we are new to the area. Would highly recommend.
To whom it may concern Review of Murray Coop from Ray White Real Estate Ngunguru In February of this year, I put my Tutukaka property into the hands of a real estate company to sell. It was well advertised and attracted a lot of interest. However, there was no securing of an actual sale. My situation became one that it was literally costing me too much to maintain and the property had to 'go'. The option I had was to keep the status quo, or to change agents. I chose to transfer the sale of the property to Ray Whites in Ngunguru. Murray entered into quite a difficult situation, and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism, his perseverance, energy and 'nothing was too much trouble' approach, which was outstanding. My property was in the hands of your Ngunguru agents on the 6 June and was sold unconditionally with a 21 July settlement and removal date. What was tremendous for me, was that Murray even secured me a property in Ngunguru, that I purchased and moved into on the same date as I departed from Tutukaka. I would have no problem in recommending Murray and the Ngunguru Ray White Agency for any purchase or sale of a property. Lyn Sneddon
I engaged Murray for his excellent knowledge of the Tutukaka Coast area, for his professionalism & desire to achieve required results. This was the 2nd time I have had Murray working on my behalf and both experiences have been exceptional. Besides his great personality , his drive, determination to achieve and excellent communication skills and his willingness to help have cemented him as my go to agent in the area
Murray has been amazing sorting out the CCCs to make settlement happen on due date. We could not have done this without his perseverance and as I have said many times he went the extra mile from start to finish. I have been involved in many real estate transactions over my 74 years and Murray is the most diligent real estate salesperson I have come across.
Professional, amenable, great advice in a personable way, flexible Whr necessary
As a real estate myself I felt that Murray treated us with the utmost respect. All the communication was prompt and honest. We loved his cool, calm approach to the business at hand. We have already sung Murray's praises and highly recommend him to all our friends and family. He's a legend!

Murray and Peter have got on with the job and have successfully sold all of our Lots since they were asked by the trust to act as agents.
The whole experience of selling our property at Ngunguru was a pleasurable experience due to his professional manner. The weekly report kept us informed of potential purchasers.

I would thoroughly recommend Murray. Very professional, helpful, obliging & works for a good outcome for all. Highly recommend Murray & Peter. They go out of their way to make the whole process as smooth as they can. Will certainly use again.
Did what he said he would do, good feedback and kept us updated throughout
Murray went out of his way to organise meetings and help us out and answered endless questions. He even offered to help me move some of the unwanted rubbish the previous owners left behind, which was not his job to have to do. Much appreciated.

Murray and Leah are both fantastic with communication. The whole time during our sale we had constant updates and any questions were answered promptly, not only did they make selling our house simple and easy, they worked damn hard to get the best price. I felt they did this for us and not based on their commission rates.
Straightforward and easy to deal with
.
Having dealt with various estate agents in Ray White's he was one of the few who was prepared to go 110 plus for me.
Murray was very professional and helpful. He was extremely honest with us. Very happy with the process. If I didn't work for Bayleys, he would be on my mind for future purchases
Very professional and well oiled machine
He worked hard, gave excellent advice, communicated effectively and got the job done.
The great efficient service
Murray goes out of his way to ensure his buyer has everything they need to make an informed decision, especially in this case when it was a rental investment.
I thought Murray was very thorough in disclosing all the information about the property and explained everything fully to me. I also thought he showed considerable tolerance and support as I was all over the place with my emotions to purchase. Murray was very pleasant and showed me that he could be trusted. Thank you Murray I

Murray coop is totally professional, down to earth, realistic, and has excellent ethics.
From my very first meeting with Murray until conclusion of business I found Murray extremely knowlegeble, engaging and trustworthy. He was excellent at suggesting solutions to problems encountered along the way, as well as improvements to make my property more marketable. I was 100% happy with the service I received from Murray and I have already recommended him to several of my friends and colleagues.

He was great, got stuck in and explored every avenue.
Easy to deal with, very obliging. Excellent market knowledge.
Murray had a straightforward approach which we appreciated
Our house took MANY weeks to sell but Murray continued to hold open homes over this time, including Christmas and other long weekends. He kept us well informed throughout this time and was great when it came to negotiating the 2 offers we received.
No one can ever score a 10 as there is always something new to learn or improvements to be made, however in saying that Murray was very knowledgeable about the property, vendor and issues that were raised he knew the contacts that could assist (ie) WDC Roading, Planners, Parks & Recreation, Building Compliance.
Murray Coop my agent provided a stress free experience and kept in regular contact never leaving wondering what to expect.
Murray is highly organised, experienced and he works effectively to secure a very satisfactory sale.
He spoke in ways that it was easy to understand and the way it was done we ended up with the property being sold easily and getting more than what was expected.
Murray is very good at his job. Keeping you informed on progress and the staff he has working for him are very helpfull
He was honest and straight up. I would expect both parties to be happy.
Murray kept in constant contact with us, he was open and efficient and got us a good result quickly
Murray was honest and straight forward to deal with and kept us informed all the way. Can't fault him, and he was very pleasant on a personal basis too.
Murray appeared competent, explained the process well, and was polite and pleasant to deal with. When it came down to finalising a deal we considered his skill and judgment outstanding. He was also punctual and professional.
We were able to relate to each other and Murray was able to relate to the property. He was receptive to an alternative incentive proposal.
Very professional and easy to work with. Always kept in contact and kept me well informed. Thanks for your work and helping me sell my property. I was very happy with the service I received from you and look forward to working with you again in the future.
Murry is an honest caring individual who is empthetic to all parties involved in the sale and purchase of a dwelling, including the exisiting tenants as in our case. This was a total contrast to other agents we have dealt with who refer to tenants as second class citizens. Murry is an excellent communicator and always returns calls asap.
He was very informative and achieved a better than expected result - thanks!
Murray is aware how to build a relationship to ensure the best outcome for the vendor and Ray White. Murray is proactive in the utilisation of his contacts and a skilled negotiator.
He was attentive , and followed through with things we discussed .
...I thought I would just drop a line or two with regards to two of your personnel who have assisted us with the successful purchase of the above premises. A lot of flak is cast upon estate agents and as a positive I have to say that your customer & sales consultant Murray Coop has restored much faith for me personally in an industry that can sometimes be frowned upon. Whilst I could write much, in brief I will say Murray has been articulate, assisted in quietly keeping to timelines, knowledgeable, helpful, honest , open and trustworthy. These are powerful words and not used lightly coming from a customer service environment and background. I would recommend Murray as someone who has a professional approach whilst holding everyone’s best interest at heart. He has made us a very happy family. As a further note I would like to make mention of the senior office administrator Janet Watters who has always been very pleasant and made the process quite seamless. It has been much appreciated. Kind regards Dean

Professional, friendly service, explained exactly what he would do and did it.
Our experience of selling our property with Murray Coop has been faultless. He ran a very competent campaign from start to finish. We are most impressed.
Real Estate is an area we are all interested and involved in at some stage of our lives. It is a defining moment when the decision is made to sell or purchase. Having made the decision the next and by far the most important is to select a professional and diligent agent to develop a plan. We made an inspired choice to select "Team Coop" as our Real Estate agents to market and sell a property that proved difficult to establish a price point. A strong marketing plan was established involving the internet, open homes and private viewings. A calendar of key timelines allowed us to follow the plan and then there was the feedback in the form of weekly updates and emails/phone calls of immediate activity. The underpinning factor in our relationship was that there was a strong level of communication. Given that we live in Australia this was so important. Murray and Leah; regardless of the conditional contract being successful we are very appreciative for your guidance, knowledge of the market, energy and determination to make a sale. It goes without saying that we would happily refer others to take up your professional services. Many thanks.
Murray Coop was the selling agent for the property we have just bought in Whangarei. He was exceptionally professional throughout a rather messy purchase (NOT his fault) and was very good at keeping us informed. I would be happy to work with Murray and Leah again – and if we sold would certainly list our property with him. June 2012
It is with pleasure to write this reference for Murray Coop in relation to his service regarding the sale of 4 Keyte Street. I found Murray not only to be professional in how he conducted the transaction between me and the vendor but also his understanding to our dissimilar life situation. I felt supported with positive comments and vision as I was purchasing a doer upper that I had very little knowledge about. His input was valuable with knowledge of location, sale prices in the area, to giving information on how to organise a property profile. He also arranged for a builder to complete a report on the property as I had no idea how to do this either. Once the transaction was completed he offered to replace the locks on the house (that he wasn't legally responsible to do) due to what the house was utilised for before purchasing and my concerns around safety. THANK YOU Murray. His PR skills were of high standards and I would recommend his expertise to others in the community. 23 May 2007
From start to finish Murray had my interests at heart. He believed in my home and was working for me every step of the way. This is an excellent result for me which I am overjoyed at. I tell everyone they must use Murray Coop if they want a professional service along the way to a great result!!! Vendors of 28c Whangarei Heads Road, Onerahi.
We had our property on the market with another agent for a few months. Murray introduced us to his market approach and the result in just a few weeks was much better than expected. He used solid market understanding to achieve a fantastic outcome. Vendors of 2/209 Corks Road, Tikipunga.
I was a little unsure of Murray's strategy at the start but the outcome was exactly as he explained it. A result within 10 days. We were very happy with the professional approach to our sale. " Vendor of 31 Fisher Terrace, Kamo.
I just knew as soon as I started talking to Murray that he was going to do the job for me. Vendors of 63 Fisher Terrace, Kamo.
