Ruth Hawes

unusually honest for the typical agents, like her mother Lesley - who talked us out of selling our house when she considered not in our best interests.

Ruth is professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Ruth is a superb real estate agent. She's friendly, experienced and realistic. Her advice on presentation of the property was useful and her communication throughout the sale process was excellent. She's totally professional but also cares about her customers and that inspires confidence.

She was friendly, caring, professional & made everything work between me selling my house & the property I wanted to buy.. Dream sell & buy.

She is a sincerely lovely person very thorough easy to communicate with and kept us informed all the way.

Ruth and Tim went the extra mile during very trying times (election and slump in market) and were able to secure a deal. Great people - friendly and helpful!

So very friendly and helpful, she followed things up for us and was so sweet and supportive when we had to wait extra time for the prior vendor to sort out their legal issues which was a stressful time

Professional, friendly, honest, genuinely understand & care, give sound advice, always looking at what is best for us.

She is efficient and provides good feed back

First it must be acknowledged that the climate around selling inner city real estate is a sellers market, even so, I was comfortable with Ruth for her local knowledge and the villa market.

The agent's service was outstanding

Ruth's efficiency, promptness of response to issues raised, questions asked or concerns expressed was consistently excellent. Her punctuality could not be faulted

Very helpful and informative

Always available and very realistic. Made everything simple.

Throughout the sales process Ruth & Tim have been awesome. They clearly articulated the process, potential risks and the options we could take. Information is key to successful communication (and building trust) - Ruth and Tim delivered information as needed, when needed and it was genuine and honest. With this in mind, it gave us faith that they were working hard to sell our home and they did so (beyond our expectations and hopefully theirs!!!).

Ruth was an excellent and open communicator right from the start and throughout the process to auction. She advised us well and worked hard on our behalf.

Very personable, strong connection with prospective buyers goes the extra mile

Knows the area well

Ruth was amazing to deal with. I couldn't speak more highly of her.

Ruth is a consummate professional who we know and trust - no hesitation in recommending her

Ruth is an amazing woman, empathetic to our financial position and needs, endeavouring to produce the best possible outcomes for us.

Ruth's confident and the relationship that she has with the customer makes you feel at ease and safe when dealing with a valuable asset. We made the decision to sell the house quickly and I knew she would have the necessary resources/contacts to get our house to market quickly. She did a fantastic job and the house was sold in 5 days.

Ruth was always in touch with us. We trusted her completely to give us advice and guide us in the sale process. The outcome was so very close to her initial prediction. In a situation where you are under a lot of pressure and stress it's so important to feel that you are being looked after by someone you can trust - that was Ruth.

Capable, pleasant, focussed

All went very well, excellent communication and good advice in regard to preparing the house for sale.

Ruth and her fellow team members Lesley, Tim and Douglas did an excellent job selling my apartment. They were very professional and efficient but also friendly and approachable. I knew I was dealing with people of honesty and integrity right from the start. I was particularly impressed by Ruth's ability to get the best possible price for my apartment; cheered me up enormously.

Very prompt, friendly, kept us in the loop. In the past when I was a prospective buyer at other properties, I was impressed with Ruth's easy nature and didn't feel like she was 'selling too hard' to the buyers.

She was in full communication about what was happening. She was on a mission to get the house sold. She listened attentively to our needs and our commitments. Overall, she was a joy to deal with

Ruth was amazing to deal with. She always got back to us when she said she would. She guided us through the whole process of selling our house. Thanks to her we ended up with a fantastic result!

Thanks to Lesley and Ruth Hawes, selling our property was a pleasure not a pain! Their realistic and honest approach to marketing the property not only won us over but did the job fantastically. Their approach was down to earth, friendly and straight-talking and the results spoke for themselves with a price we were very happy with. It was such a pleasure to deal with real estate agents we trusted and respected. We would definitely recommend Lesley and Ruth Hawes. Thank you again for a job superbly done. Sarah & Mark, 93 Fowlds Avenue

Lesley & Ruth are extremely professional but at no time do you feel like just another business customer. They listen and show a genuine interest in you above all other things. At all times I felt like I was dealing with the right people. They clearly knew what they were doing and the best ways to achieve our goals (possibly because they had bothered to listen to us early on). I would highly recommend contacting Lesley & Ruth whenever you feel the need to buy or sell in the Auckland property market as their caring attitude, wisdom and professionalism will not be found lacking. Putting price aside, as quality in this space is a given, the service you receive will be second to none and this is what truly makes them exceptional. Todd & Anna, 26 Fowlds Ave

"When preparing to sell our Mt Albert home we spoke to and considered several agents from different companies. While Lesley Hawes was overseas at the time collecting another international Ray White award we were impressed by her daughter Ruth's professionalism and understanding of our wants while outlining a clear strategy about how she believed we would achieve a sale at the best price. During the three week auction plan we were regularly kept updated about progress and buyer interest – first by Ruth and then by Ruth and Lesley. They are personable and engage warmly with buyers while always working towards auction day and achieving the best price for the seller. The sale price was above our expectations despite a cooling market and the sale process was smooth. We both recommend Lesley and Ruth as an excellent team to sell your home."
