Ricky Cave

Ricky was only involved right at the start but with Jayne, he was great with his advice as to the best way forward

Ricky has been worked diligently and enthusiastically throughout our sale process. We are very grateful for his advice and efforts on our behalf.

Ricky is very experienced, thorough and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Bruce & Ildiko Watson

This is the second home Ricky has sold for me and once again he did an amazing job!! He is super friendly, knowledgeable and very thorough, nothing was a problem. I could not recommend Ricky highly enough.

They were extremely efficient and pleasant to deal with. Their organisation skills and useful contacts were a huge benefit to us. We felt very comfortable with Jayne and Ricky, who were very good at considering our wishes and also presenting us with excellent suggestions. In spite of the sudden government changes to the regulations, they achieved a great result for us that we were very happy with. We also give credit to the great auctioneer that they employed to auction our property. We were more than happy with Jayne and Ricky and will definitely use them in any future property dealings. Thank you

Professional at all times ...great with communication. Worked extremely hard and got us the result we were hoping for.

Ricky listened and had great digital knowledge when it came to recommending how to market our property. He gave us expert advice. Ricky is friendly but very professional. He got us a fantastic pre auction offer.

We commissioned Ricky, Jayne and Melanie to undertake the marketing and sale of our property in Orakei. The professionalism from the start was comforting and thorough, especially considering additional paperwork required these days. Communications were made in written form weekly and verbal calls made on regular basis to keep us in the loop. The sale value was in line with expectations and we are thrilled with the result. At no time did we feel left out and neglected – it was actually a collaborative effort by all. I fully recommend this team for a sale or a purchase.

Extremely Professional and Hard working.

Ricky and Jayne were extremely professional and we had complete trust in their ability to sell our property. Their communication was great and Ricky worked closely with us to advice his recommendations of what work we needed to do on the property prior to sale in order to get the price we wanted. We are very happy with the result and would highly recommend Ricky and Jayne.

Good communication and never pushed anything or the sale was well informed and very professional

Ricky has been amazing for our family. He sold our property and worked so hard on making a very complex deal work, whilst keeping everyone informed, protected, and happy. He then listed this property and knew us so well that he called saying, this is the house for you! It certainly was, and he worked hard with me on a strategy for the auction, which ensured I was successful on the day. It is rare to have such a personalised approach these days in real estate. I am so grateful, and will be a loyal supporter of both Ricky and Ray White. Thank you!

Ricky was honest, direct, and acted with integrity.

He’s a great salesperson and builds strong relationships

He was polite, informed and not pushy

Good positive energy, had a clear strategy, and focused.

A thoroughly professional and faultless performance by Ricky. A pleasure to deal with and we were in safe hands all the way.

Ricky did not hesitate to spend time showing me the property outside of open home times and was very professional during the negotiations

Ricky ran an excellent campaign with over 70 groups through the open homes and 4 active bidders in the auction room.

Given lots of details/report after each open home. Explained everything clearly before/during the whole process.

Ricky is a legend!!!! Himself and his team would amazing

Professional, multi-channel marketing approach with clear positioning of our property to the target market of prospective buyers. Never any concern over the integrity of Ricky or team any doubt that they were working in our best interests as the vendors

Very professional and thorough. We also felt they worked with our requests especially our concerns house security

I was very happy with the result

Many thanks for your help through the process of buying our home. You were a huge help and your little touches didn’t go unnoticed; the bottles of champagne, the bow on the door, the box with the keys. It made it all the more special for us. So a big thank you. We had a big weekend of moving in and it’s already starting to feel like home.

The team from Ray White Ricky, Shan and Mark were excellent to work with in the process of selling our home in Panmure. I tested them at times however they remained professional throughout, worked hard and regularly kept in touch. We were very grateful for the service they provided and really happy with the result. We recommend them to anyone looking to sell ther property

Ricky Cave, Shan Li and "the Team" were so professional and easy to deal with during the recent sale of my home. They provided excellent feedback and kept me informed of what was happening each step of the process. I found it easy to trust them to do what they "do" and the eventual results were amazing. In selecting them for the sale of my home I feel I made a wise choice and can readily recommend them to anyone wishing to have an uncomplicated and speedy result in the sale of their property.

Ricky Cave assisted us in purchasing our new home in Remuera. Even though he was acting for the Vendors, we found as buyers, he was highly professional, very approachable and enjoyable to work with. Ricky ensured that the expectations of both parties were brought together very quickly resulting in a relatively low stress event for both parties. Ricky is passionate and enthusiastic in his profession and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house.

My partner and I chose Ricky Cave to sell our home in Remuera and it proved to be a very wise decision. Ricky was an absolute pleasure to deal with and his extensive knowledge of the area made it easy to put our trust in his hands. The turn out for our auction was incredible and a testament to the hard work Ricky, and his team, put in to the sale of our home. We could not be happier with the way the auction was run and are incredibly grateful to Ricky. We would not hesitate to recommend Ricky to anyone looking to sell their home and would definitely use his services again.

I am pleased to recommend Ricky Cave, Shan Li and Team Ricky Cave to any prospective vendor. At all times I have been kept fully informed in a friendly efficient manner, I have always felt that the team were very focussed on achieving the best result for me and I had the distinct impression that the entire team were working behind the scenes to present a professional face to me as Vendor and to the prospective purchasers. The hard work put in by the team is evident in the comprehensive reporting which was appreciated by me and gave me a great sense of comfort. I know that little things like turning up to the open homes on time are tricky especially given the busy market but Shan and Ricky were always there and ready well before the people started walking down the driveway and I know also that in our absence the lovely Shan went the extra mile on many occasions to ensure the house was looking its best before purchasers inspected. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ricky, Shan and the Team to anyone in the future. Congratulations on a fantastic job with a great result!

Ricky and his team were professional, reliable and ultimately delivered a great result under the hammer.

Cause he was straight up honest from the start and came through with an amazing result.

Excellent service and feedback

Completely professional.

An outstanding sales person, personable, informed, street wise, industry savvy, and brilliant at what he does.

Very professional, obliging and successful outcome

I wish to commend your real estate sales representative, Ricky Cave for the professional manner in which he attended to the sale of our home. Not only did he excel himself in arranging the auction, working hard for a good result, but showed a thoughtful, caring, attitude towards us, at a very stressful time. The marketing of our home could not have been better, and I will recommend him to anyone wanting an agent. I will continue to use him myself, as I look for another home.Please convey my gratitude to him for all his help, he is an asset to your company, as he has such a positive attitude in all he does, conveying confidence to his clients, a great quality in a young man. Regards Rosemary Brown and Jim Smith 21/10/2010

Ricky you have given us your all in the sale of our property at 360 Riverlaw Terrace at a very stressful and sad time in Christchurch, our first highly successful open day being two days before the Big One on 22 February - great timing! After a lot of soul searching as to where to go from there, and some very astute advice from Ricky and Craig, we decided to go ahead with our auction and a very exciting one it was too - we are highly delighted with the result, as are our buyers. Warm regards

Having recently purchased a property for which Ricky Cave was the vendors' agent I would like torecord how helpful Ricky was during the sale process.From the first time we met Ricky at an open home we found him to be very courteous andconsiderate. He was very patient in answering all, our questions and he promptly facilitated theprovision of all the documents that we requested. Ricky went out of way to guide us through thepurchase and smoothed the way for us to obtain builders and valuers reports.We felt completely comfortable with Ricky throughout the purchase and we valued his sincerity.

Ricky Cave did an amazing job selling my property providing perfect service right through the selling process. The complete transaction was conducted by phone and email in a most helpful way. Firstly his valuation was spot on, he sold the property for the highest figure, he had quoted, as possible. Initially after I had contacted him he approached my then tenants in a very affable manner when doing the appraisal...they then recommended that I place the house for sale with Ricky. He gave sensible, easily comprehendible advice and then developed an excellent strategy for auctioning the property, did a very smart job placing signs, was understanding about items still left on the property and sold the property quickly. Ricky managed to give advice that dissolved my worries, in fact it seemed Ricky solved all problems easily and quickly. As I had tried to sell my property privately I can quite clearly state that he got a much better price than that which I was offered privately. Ricky was always easy to speak with, patient and understanding. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him. May 2010

We bought a property through Ricky Cave in June/July 2010 and later sold our own property with Ricky in late August 2010. Right from the start Ricky gives the impression that he enjoy's what he does and is a true professional. This never faded over the weeks and became more evident with each step. We were very impressed with Ricky when we purchased a property and therefore later chose him again to sell ours without hesitation. Ricky really knows how to market each property accordingly.We were fortunate how we were guided in many right directions where needed as we used Ricky's recommended Mortgage Broker and Solicitor which were equally impressive. We were left to choose our own paths without any pressure or persuasion throughout the buying and selling processes which were not easy at times. Nothing was ever a problem as Ricky is a tireless worker even after his day off on a ski-trip he would be back into it the same day/night following up the previous weekends open homes. Ricky performed with unlimited energy, motivation, and integrity throughout the weeks. Even after the auction process had finished Ricky kept in touch checking up on us after the Earthquake.

10 May 2010 Ricky Cave was an excellent salesman during our recent home purchase in Christchurch. Had it not been for Ricky's perseverance and dedication we would not have made this purchase and would have missed out on the best house we could possibly have found. One that we remain simply delighted with. Ricky was aware of our needs and realized that despite some of our reservations this property was perfect for us. With his assistance we negotiated the previously uncharted purchase option of Pre-auction offer, which was unsuccessful and then Auction where we were the successful purchasers. He kept us informed of our options, was readily available for all questions and did not hesitate to advise us on all aspects of our purchase.

After trying to sell our home privately unsuccessfully, we engaged the services of Ricky Cave at Ray White Opawa in Feb 2010. We had a 4 week marketing campaign and our house sold by auction in March 2010. We chose Ricky at Ray White Opawa because Ricky is full of enthusiasm, he lives in the area and he knows the area. We also chose Ricky as based on his recent sales in the area, he is willing to go the extra mile and put in extra effort to ensure a sale. From the word go, Ricky did not disappoint with a marketing campaign covering a wide variety of media from multiple websites, regular hardcopy real estate publications, and local newspapers. Ricky also beat the local pavements at multiple times with mail drops advertising our home. We would have no problems recommending Ricky and the rest of the Ray White Opawa team to anyone willing to sell their home in the wider Opawa / St Martins / Murray Aynsley area.

My husband and I engaged Ricky Cave to sell our investment property in Merivale in 2009. Ricky was professional in his manner and went about selling our property with enthusiasm and vigour. His persistence resulted in a sale within one month at a price we were happy with. I particularly liked how Ricky showed commitment to the sale by hand delivering flyers around the neighbourhood and taking care in the photographs he took of the property. He displayed professionalism with our tenants and gained their trust early on resulting in him having access to the property when they were not home. Ricky is passionate about property personally and it shows in his attitude towards other people's property goals. I will engage him again when the time comes to sell another of our properties. Thanks Ricky for all your hard work and dedication.

asuccessful campaign with an excellent outcome.

Extremely professional to deal with. Our agent kept us informed positively throughout the process, his confidence and positivity made us feel assured that he would do his utmost to secure us a good sale. The photo's and presentation material was superior. We have already recommended Ricky Cave and Ray White to everyone we have spoken too.

Ricky and his auctioneer did a fantastic job on auction day

Ricky listened to my concerns and suggested solutions to issues as well as being respectful of the fact that I work from home.\ This was noticeable that following every Open Home or provide viewing, Ricky would ring or txt to advise it was complete and provide feedback.

Did what he said he would do, maintained regular contact ,kept us informed and utilised his network well\ \

Ricky was the ultimate professional through the entire process. His follow up and reports were always on time and I really felt like he was on the ball the entire way through the sale. I would highly recommend him and Ray white as a brand.

Ricky did a brilliant job with all meetings attended on time, easy and transparent dialogue and accurate reporting on feedback from potential purchasers.\ And he got our house sold for what we wanted!

Ricky is a very proactive agent with a can do attitude and has gone beyond what most property agents would do to get a sale for our property.

Polite, courteous, put the work in to get the best result, no pressure applied to sell.
