Sarah worked extremely hard to get our property sold in such a difficult market, Her experience and knowledge was a real asset for us. On top of that Sarah kept us well informed and was always affable, empathetic and positive. We, including our two Cavoodles, would look forward to her visits and catching up. This has been a tough market to sell a property and we feel very fortunate to have had Sarah sell our much loved property. We would 100% recommend Sarah.
She's a no nonsense straight shooter which is rare to find in agents. Easy to communicate with. She definitely does not treat you like just another paycheck.

Sarah initially impressed me upon our first meeting with how positive, upbeat and warm she came across. She was also super helpful with ideas on how best to get the house ready for photos and open homes which helped my anxiety as we have 2 young kids and that was very overwhelming for me. But she gave me encouragement and ideas even before she had our business. After we signed on with Sarah she has been great at communicating and very professional. I can't speak highly enough of her. We sold for after 3 open homes with an unconditional offer. In this market we were very impressed with that outcome!

We listed with Sarah after interviewing other local agents. She was the most down to earth and had a great understanding of rural properties. She had recently sold our neighbours and we had seen how hard she worked for them to get the sale so we knew we were in good hands. She worked with us and the purchasers to get us a price we were pleased with and an unconditional offer really quickly after listing. We have been delighted with her approach and the outcome. Thanks Sarah.

No obstacle was too much for Sarah - despite the inclusion of a 5 day cash out buyer her advise to us was always professional and unbiased with a bit encouragement to do what we thought best - every open home was followed up with a summary of lookers & buyers within the hour of each event - we were constantly aware of what was happening and where.

I felt I had a personal business relationship with Sarah and in fact the whole team at the Kumeu agency. Her professionalism showed not just with selling my property but also her integrity on behalf of her other vendors where I was interested in purchasing. I respected her for that.
We have dealt a significant number of agents over the past 6 months, on both the sale and purchase of our properties. Sarah has stood out as superior to others we have encountered, always professional and pragmatic.
Sarah helped us negotiate with the vendor twice to extend our offer when we were struggling to get our finance approved in time. She was a really helpful go-between.

Sarah took on board what we were looking for in a house and she certainly did not fail to deliver. We had been looking for 12 months prior to meeting up with Sarah and within a few short weeks, she had found what we were looking for. There was no mucking about and looking at all sorts of unsuitable properties and given the length of time it had taken us to find our ideal home, this was very much appreciated.
Her confidence in our property getting top dollar.

I would recommend Sarah Bickerstaffe -great communication, honest ,straight to the point ,information re the sale of 68 Waitea road was clear ,the property sold in a good space of time due to Sarah's skills -a pleasure
Having dealt with Sarah in the past we knew that she was very honest & dependable, friendly & sincere, therefore we had no hesitation in employing her services to market our property. Once again we were not disappointed & would recommend her without hesitation to any of our friends who wish to sell their properties.
Sarah is a great communicator and we found her to be extremely helpful and professional with our dealings with her.
Sarah was the agent who we both bought and sold our property through. In both circumstances she was entirely professional, courteous and understanding of our needs. As a buyer she worked with us to ensure our needs were met while as a seller she worked closely with us to ensure our property was professionally marketed and fetched a top price as quickly as possible, resulting in an unconditional contract being signed within 4 days of our first open home! Sarah has been very amenable to our needs and has gone out of her way to ensure our experiences have been as pleasant and stress free as possible. Her deep knowledge of real estate and in particular the property market in the Kumeu/Waimauku region gave us a high degree of confidence that we were getting a great deal, and ensured we felt fully informed at all times. <
We worked with Sarah in early 2012 to sell our lifestyle property in Muriwai. After getting to know a few agents it became to clear to us that the only one we wanted to work with was Sarah. It was important to us to work with an agent we could respect and who respected us - Sarah's great appeal to us is the positive and straight forward way in which she does business . She still genuinely appears to enjoy her work and is totally approachable and adaptable to any brief We found this approach refreshing. Sarah is always honest and upbeat and we knew that she would tell it like it was avoiding the syrupy narratives that many agents use.
Great salesperson to deal with very informative and helpful with our mucking around,good feedback on open homes etc. Very happy all round especially the final outcome.
We had the pleasure of engaging Sarah as our agent when it came time to sell our house in Buttercup Place. We expected it to be an easy sell but, as it turned out we did not have the person who fell in love with it straight away. Sarah kept us informed through the whole process with weekly reports and doggedly pursued the sale of the property. We kept our Sole Agency with Sarah through the whole process and were finally rewarded with a sale. Sarah has the ability to sort out the wheat from the chaff so you are only presented with a realistic agreement. If you ever want to sell a property then Sarah is the person to engage and, if you wish to buy a property then you could not get anybody nicer to greet you at an Open Home. On a personal note, we still
We met Sarah Bickerstaffe through a mutual friend and she came and gave us an appraisal on our house when we decided to look for a larger property. We had always thought real estate agents charged way too much and did very little. People either like your house or not.
