Lyn and I would like to thank your organisation and particularly Andrea Church for the extremely professional and friendly execution of the sale of our forme property and the purchase of our new home. I think the key to the successful operation was the correct information, its promptness being available to us at all times.

We recently listed and sold our house through Andrea Church.  During this time we found Andrea to be honest and reliable.  Communication and keeping us informed of any changes while our house was on the market was superb.  I would recommend Andrea to anyone who was thinking of selling their home, as she did a first rate job and gave us the results we expected.

Ian Fyfe

We asked Ian if he was interested in marketing our lifestyle property through Mark Stevenson First National Real Estate. He didn't hesitate. He was on the ball from day one and within two days had the advertising sorted out for the first open home. We were extremely impressed and very confident that Ian was going to sell our property in a short space of time. Ian Fyfe is a pleasure to deal with. He has a get up and go attitude and he didn't rest till he had achieved his goal, that we found very refreshing.

Ian Fyfe under took the mission of selling our property with poise, precision and audacity and should be mentioned in dispatches. 

Trans Global Productions Ltd

 

 

First National Real Estate in my opinion is Blenheim's leading Real Estate company.  Their Rural agent Ian Fyfe, is an asset for this company.  Ian said our home would sell $345k to $370k.  Open home was Sunday, Tuesday contract - SOLD $360,000!  We had two other agents from different companies tell us how good they were and our home was worth $280 to $300k.  We are still waiting for them to contact us!  Ian is some-thing of a rarity in the real estate world, Genuine, trustworthy person, who does his best to acheive "your price"

Robbie Moore was the agent who sold me my home and he went out of his way to find the home I wanted and great follow-up service.  When ever I rang the office I was always treated politely and all messages were always passed on and Robbie always phoned me back.  I am very impressed and grateful to First National.  I have passed First National and Robbies name on to others

Michelle Madsen

This property was the 2nd one we looked seriously at with Michelle - we saw a few between though.  She was wonderful from the initial visit until the whole deal was done - even contacted us since to check that all is OK.  She kept me posted with her latest listings & we were so pleased when it turned out that our final purchase was through her.  She scores a 12/10 with us - Thank Michelle

Janet Sutton

 

 

Initial contact with Michelle Madsen was done by our daughter in Blenheim with follow-up from ourselves.  Michelle was helpful and provided good and timely information as required.

Lorraine Barrett

I have been associated with Lorraine recently both as a seller and buyer and I am totally impressed with her mature, efficient, friendly and decisive approach.  Lorraine's ability to come to terms quickly with my requirements as a purchaser enabled an agreement to be finalised before internet advertising had even taken effect!  I have no hesitation in recommending Lorraine's services to any prospective seller or buyer.

We are settled into our beautiful new home and feel that the time is right to express to ou just how greatful we are for all the hard work you did on our behalf.  We know some people will say you were only doing your job but we know that you went a lot further for us than the job demands.  The jobs that needed doing you ensured they were completed to the standard you would expect if the house were yours.  You were easy to deal with, understanding of our concerns and kept us to speed daily with excellent communication.  All this with a relaxed, happy and caring attitude.  Our warmest thanks and we wish you continued success.
