Great real estate agent and an amazing communicator!
Could not be happier with the service provided by Anna and the team. Everything from our first meeting to the open homes, offers and the finalised sale has gone smoothly.
Anna truly goes above and beyond of what's expected of an agent, all while keeping you informed every step of the way. So if you're looking at selling your property,
I could not recommend Anna enough. 10/10
Tomas
Professional and Hard Working!
Anna recently helped us sell our house in Auckland. It was a difficult sale due to the downturn in the market and our being overseas.
Anna was really excellent throughout the process. Keeping us informed, working all hours and advising us about our best options.
We would highly recommend her to any prospective vendor.
Graeme and Mary
We sold our house in a challenging market and Bruce and Anna really made a stressful time a lot easier. They worked very hard to get the best price and provided professional advice and support throughout the process.
I would highly recommend and would work with them again.
Suzanne
My elderly mother needed to market her long held family villa. My wife and I had worked with Anna and Bruce both on a previous sale and the purchase of our current home. From the first meeting Anna ensured mum felt listened to and comfortable. She adeptly balanced managing the unique circumstances with a dedicated focus on getting an excellent price.
Thank you again guys! Matt
Anna has sold several of our investment properties for our family. She is always detail oriented and incredibly strategic when negotiating. I have always felt, in each case, that she worked to get a result that might not have been achieved otherwise. If we had more to sell, they would be with Anna.
Ming
Anna was so easy to work with. We wrestled with the competition in the market at the time, and she made it easy to see the value in the area, the home and the improvements we could make.
Jenna (Buyer)
Thank you so very much for the champagne and magazine subscription.
I am so impressed with your skills at selling, and with your willingness to organize anything that helps the sales prospect.
You made it very easy for me and I am very grateful.
Regards,
Jenny Carryr
I have worked with Anna twice before this sale in other parts of Auckland and would do so again.
Anna is always available and works so hard to ensure the best outcome. She quickly realised the features of the property that would most charm buyers and her enthusiasm for the views and location was
infectious.
The buyer raised a lot of objections and she handled them with grace and humour.
Jude
We weren’t planning to sell our house at all, however we went to an open home for a property being marketed by Anna and fell in love with it!
We had no idea what our existing property in Mt Albert was worth, so Anna and Bruce came over the next evening to appraise our property and talk us through the process. I found them both to be very knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient with us, and we both felt very comfortable with them so signed up on the spot to have them market our home for sale.
Throughout the process they would present various options to us, but at the same time they would also give us their recommendation on what to do, and the clear reasoning behind it. That made the process a lot less stressful for us, being new to the sale process.
Both Anna and Bruce were extremely easy to contact, and were always available when we had questions. It was never an issue for one or both of them to whip out to Riverhead or Mt Albert to meet with us at short notice – we would generally have one of them on our doorstep in 20 minutes!
Once our place hit the market for sale, we had close to 40 groups through in the first five days! Anna always gave us 24 hours’ notice if someone wanted to come through outside of open home times, and we received daily updates on how many groups had come through, and whether any of them seemed interested.
I always felt confident that Anna and Bruce were pushing interested parties to put forward their very best offers and after only one week on the market we had four offers presented to us, and our property was sold.
If you are looking for a sale process that is easy and as stress-free as possible, then we would highly recommend Anna and Bruce. They are passionate about the industry, work around the clock to provide the best possible service to their clients, and are lovely people to work with.

Dear Anna
I contacted you at the very beginning because you were recommended to me.
It was only when we got down to the nitty gritty of fixing a time for you to give an appraisal that I realised that we were getting two for the price of one.
You are extremely articulate, knowledgeable, and ‘on to it’ when it comes to any queries that a client could conceivably think of. You are also very prompt in your communications, which is a priceless quality in anyone, more so, an agent to whom one is about to entrust the keys to one's kingdom.
I could write a few pages about your fearsome negotiation skills and super-human powers of bargaining. You are one of the most hardworking people I have ever met and how you haven’t ended up with black circles and bags under your eyes is a miracle.
Your copy writing skills are legendary, plus you pay such close attention to all the tiny details and not just to do with your listing either. Once we signed the contract there was never a single moment when we felt on slightly shaky ground or wondered if we had chosen the right agents.
I am sure if you asked any of your clients, they would say the same thing… that you unfailingly go far beyond the call of duty to ensure a successful outcome for your clients.
Tina
Anna's direct and frequent communication was so appreciated by us - Anna always contacted us with a purpose and was always contactable, for any questions at any time.
We were selling our property in a slow market and Anna persisted, adapting the strategy to the data she gathered from different avenues in order to get us the sale.
We were so appreciative of her hard work and persistence, and were happy with the result, which we don't think we would have achieved with any other agency.
Elsie
I was trying to sell my Auckland property through another agency while living in Christchurch and it was proving quite difficult.
I was introduced to Anna through a mutual contact and she immediately put my mind at ease.
Anna sold my property in record time and went above and beyond in every aspect.
She was an absolute pleasure to deal with, I can’t recommend she and her business partner enough.
Thank you.
Cheers - Taryn
Yesterday this team sold my late Mums house. This review is from my ❤️!
I understood that right from the start this would be a difficult situation for me emotionally. We originally had the property rented out for a number of years. So you can only image the place. Although the tenants were lovely we had some work cut out for us renovating!
Bruce came and gave us an appraisal which was right on the mark. We spent three weeks renovating, my best friends and family worked on the property and transformed it into a gorgeous sanctuary. Anna and Bruce both came back and her words were “this exceeded my expectations.”
We put Mead St on the market last Wednesday around midday ! Within a day we had over 2000 hits! Saturday came and it poured with rain! Around 30 groups turned up for both days! And within a day we had multiple offers on the table! Which I had no idea about what to do! Let alone reading all the technical agreements! I was nervous to say the least! Anna guided me throughout this process both with patience and warmth! She has given us a new life with the great price she sold our house for.
I cannot thank this team enough, I was so worried and anxious, it was a relief knowing you had my back and that I could trust you both 100%! I’m looking forward to putting the sold sticker on your sign!
Cherie
I thought I would write of my experience selling my house whilst being stuck in the UK.
To say Anna was amazing is an understatement. She was not only the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with, she has a huge heart.
Her empathy and understanding of the emotional trauma I was feeling was extraordinary.
She took a kind lead in every aspect of the sale. She arranged a beautiful staging that made my house look amazing. She listened to every single fear I had been harbouring and put me completely at ease.
She answered my numerous messages at 11pm her time, and answered my questions with the patience of a saint.
She got me four great offers within just a few hours of listing…helped me navigate the small print...and advised as much or as little as I needed.
She helped me get the power company sorted out, and every little detail was considered with kindness and understanding. She even let me cry when it went through.
Bruce also sent offers over quickly and easily so no big hassles to navigate. The form signing technology was magic.
I don’t know who you are but, if like me the prospect of selling your home in these terrible times is overwhelming, all I can say is take a leap of faith.
It was honestly the best thing I could have ever done.
Paula Harvey
Anna and Bruce are the best team we’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
My partner and I purchased earlier in the year and we were just so blown away by the level of service from these two! They outshone every other agent we’d dealt with during the buying process. No question too silly, no request too difficult.
Being first time buyers we didn’t really know a whole lot. Anna and Bruce navigated us through and made sure we were comfortable and understood everything.
They made the entire process so easy – we are truly grateful to have worked with them!
From a buyer’s perspective, if you’re looking to sell your home, I’d highly recommend Anna and Bruce!
Shanui
Highly Recommended!
Anna and Bruce’s track record speaks for itself.
Their professionalism, market knowledge and willingness to work through numerous challenges to achieve the best possible outcome was reassuring and resulted in a successful sale above our expectations in challenging market conditions.
We would not hesitate to work with them again and would recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for a real estate agent.
Phil
They had me at hello! Months before deciding to list our home, we interviewed a slew of agents.
Anna and Bruce stood out from the crowd and it was really a no contest after meeting them.
A truly professional, genuine and charismatic dream team that couldn’t complement each other any better. They have an unmatched wealth in knowledge, from staging tips, to all the ‘know-hows’ and a prodigious ability to connect with people. The latter is what I believe truly sets them apart.
They’re incredibly generous with their time, providing an in-depth meaningful answer to each question, every single time.
In the end Anna and Bruce achieved a result greater than anticipated.
Ithan
Thank you isn’t enough… Overwhelming gratitude is closer.
How easy to lavish praise about professionalism, enthusiasm, diligence and integrity, when your house is listed in a ‘hot’ market, and sells quickly at a price close to, or more than, you had hoped. Easy, but what about when your home isn’t the norm, and is in a colder market? And, that enthusiasm that is always present in the beginning of a new listing - has to stretch into a longer more challenging timeframe?
Anna and Bruce your enthusiasm, professionalism, diligence, integrity, guidance, and knowledge never faded. It was a consistent. It was my only consistent in this challenging market. Your kindness and hard work remained consistent.
I couldn’t give a more glowing recommendation if I tried.
I always felt important and listened to.
You got me the result I wanted and supported me 100% of the way through.
Lee
Dear Paul
Just sending you a quick note to tell you how fantastic Anna and Bruce are.
Anna and Bruce sold our house in Glen Eden a couple of months ago. I have been travelling since then and so unable to send in feedback. My delay in doing so is not a reflection of how much we valued Anna and Bruce, or how grateful and appreciative we are of the job they did.
Their efforts, time, advice and expertise were incredible, and their support and performance changed our lives in the best possible way. We now have a house in an environment that we dreamed of, and it is even better than we could have imagined because of the fantastic job that Anna and Bruce did in selling our old house.
I just wrote a review for them on Real Estate Professionals. I had only a few minutes to convey how incredible Anna and Bruce are. I wrote: "What do you want when you are selling a house? You want someone who will be available to you and buyers, who will listen to your needs and goals, who will figure out the best way to reach your target buyers, who will give you expert advice without being pushy, who will be responsive to your concerns and anxieties, and will get you a great price and do so quickly. This is Anna and Bruce. Individually they are superb and as a team they are wizards. Just sit back and let them do their magic!!"
I wanted to speak to what sellers are concerned about, but the review doesn’t convey the amazing dedication Anna and Bruce displayed working with us or the immense gratitude we feel for the phenomenal job they did. We know that we made the best decision in selecting them as our agents, and that they have made a real difference to our lives.
We hope you recognize the magic you have in Anna and Bruce (perhaps even with a great Xmas bonus!).
Nikola
Anna and Bruce did an incredible job of selling our house and we would recommend them 100%.
Right from the start they were knowledgeable and enthusiastic, while also being very practical and realistic.
They gave great advice regarding methods of selling and preparing our house for market.
They seemed to really understand how much care we had put into renovating our house and gave styling advice that enhanced what we had already, rather than changed things, which we really appreciated.
They recommended a photographer who is very good at capturing character homes and we were very pleased with the results.
Our house was sold in record time and for a record price. Throughout the entire process we were informed and updated.
We would certainly use them again in the future!
Allan and Jasmine
Helpful and professional in all aspects of their role from recommendations before listing, the method to list with, to the way they interact with owners during and after process.
They enjoy their work and it shows.
I’m in the process of listing with them again!
Michelle Nunes-Vaz
We found Anna and Bruce really easy to deal with.
They literally worked around the clock; arriving early in the morning and working late into the night.
We’re stoked with the offer we’ve accepted and are happy to recommend them to others.
Scott & Lana
Anna and Bruce were great with our house sale.
They listened to our needs, advised the best method to sell and gave us a realistic idea of where the market was at.
Throughout the process we did not feel pushed, rushed, or forgotten about at any time.
I fully believe without their help, the house would still be on the market today. Many of the other houses that were listed for sale around the same time as ours do not appear to have sold yet.
We really are glad we followed our gut instinct and chose Anna and Bruce.
Thank you
Lydia and Stuart Thompson
Bruce and Anna recently sold our house in Glen Eden which had been a rental property for 20 years.
They offered sales advice that was practical and relevant to our property including suggesting a number of contractors whose work helped facilitate our sale. All issues and inquiries were dealt with in a prompt and professional manner.
They were both very personable to deal with and we felt they did an outstanding job in representing our home.
We would have no hesitation in using them again.
Russell and Jenny
I am writing this as I would like to acknowledge Anna and Bruce for their persistent, charming and professional manner.
As a first-time seller of my property at 25 Mackenzie Street, Te Atatu South I was a little stressed and did not know whether my best option would be to auction or not so I chose to go with auction when we had another agency saying this was the best.
When my dad called Anna to cancel her appointment with us she did not let it stop there. The following day this energetic, enthusiastic and bubbly young lady took the time out and explained the positives and negatives to myself and my father.
She convinced me enough to bring Harvey's on board to sell our home. Give her a chance she said. Well what can I say? It has not even been a week. The professional photos and assurance my beautiful home would sell excited me, and she was true to her word.....the house has been sold!
Anna and Bruce both knew how much this family home meant to me and the memories we would leave behind of 40 years (we lost mum last year).
Please pass a word of thanks to them both, although I will personally as well. Thank you Harveys!
Viki Hurring
Good morning Paul
Just a quick note of thanks to your associates Anna Sareczky and Bruce Parkinson for their assistance in the sale of 76 Barrys Rd, Glendene and the purchase of 45 Wood St, Paeroa.
Their efforts in making what would, for us, have been a very complicated and stressful process into an experience that turned out to be almost completely painless (even fun) are very much appreciated and have earned our undying gratitude and respect for their professionalism.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Theresa & Peter Day
Jo and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both on your dedication and hard work towards the sale of our Waitemata Drive property.
Looking back there were some very unforeseen issues that arose, and we are both very grateful for the hard work, long hours, and commitment we received during the process.
As we are 3 hours drive away from Auckland, we had envisioned numerous trips, and constant phone calls about different aspects of the sale.
Surprisingly to both of us this was not the case at all, and the process went better than expected with very little interruption to our very busy daily lives.
Congratulations on running a very professional, dedicated and easy to deal with team.
You guys knew exactly what we wanted from the start and went out and found it. We would never hesitate to recommend you guys to any seller or buyer.
Mike and Jo
We would recommend Anna and Bruce without hesitation to vendors looking for professional, knowledgeable, friendly service.
At all times we were confident that Anna and Bruce were working hard for the best outcome they could achieve for us.
Continuing to work for a back-up offer was also appreciated for our peace of mind of guaranteeing a sale.
Grant and I would like to thank you both for your efforts in the sale of
our property.
Cheers Grant and Jeanine
I would like to thank both Anna and Bruce for their professionalism in the recent sale of my property.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends in the future.
Thanks to you both again,
Jo Brook
Thank you for your dedicated work in marketing my home through to a successful sale.
Your professionalism and personal care were second to none! The ad text was exactly to my taste and you have always been incredibly prompt and kind with your follow up and help.
I never wondered what was happening, and I always knew you were working hard for me.
Well done Anna, I really don’t think I would have enjoyed the experience half as much without you, and I appreciate so much all you did to get the deal to go through.
Linzy
We would happily recommend Anna and Bruce to anyone looking to sell!!
Such a capable and effective team. Minimal disruption to our lives and a fantastic outcome.
These guys know their stuff. It was like magic Definitely exceeded my expectations and went the extra mile to make sure we not only had a great offer but a backup contract too. Incredible.
Chris Lowden Webb
You guys are the best!
From the moment we met you were like family coming into our home it was so lovely to have that personal support, you are so professional in such a caring way, you made selling our home so much less stressful than we thought it would be.
Thank you both again.
Kindest regards
Carol and Robert
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you have done to make the sale of our home come to fruition. The price is amazing and we feel we have been blessed. We were daunted by the task of going to market and you made us feel assured and informed. Anna and Bruce, we felt comfortable to trust you both.
We have lived here since the week our baby child was born over 39 years ago. Darling Danielle and Matthew our son have given us so much joy and our home has been a huge part of a place of love and safety - full of family and friends and neighbours when the kids were at home. We know that we have a special relationship and through thick and thin we love each other and have found joy in coming home to this house.
It is time to do the next step God has for us.
Love and prayers and may you be blessed.
Kind regards
Brenda and Keith Brady
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated the hard work these two put in with my house.
As a shift worker my hours are all over the show, but no matter what time I messaged or called I got an instant reply.
Anna and Bruce are second-to-none for their knowledge and ability to remember and inform their clients of every sale in the area and all their advice on price was on point.
When mine sold they also sold three others the same week, but yet I still felt like their only listing due to the commitment and top rate service I got.
100% I would re-list next time with this team. I can see why they win so many awards!! Glad I sold and bought with this team.
Thank you for the many laughs and making a stressful time a breeze.
Andrew
Anna and Bruce were highly recommended by a colleague and were happy we took their advice!
They did a brilliant job in helping us sell our home at Hobsonville Point.
They knew the area very well, were spot on with their price estimate and knew how to market our house to set it apart from other similar properties in the area.
Thank you to you both.
Toby and Naomi
Anna and Bruce’s commitment and attention to detail is second to none.
They communicated clearly every step of the way and took the stress out of getting our property ready for market.
Amazingly they sold our property in four days with a great result.
We would happily recommend Anna and Bruce to anyone looking to sell!!
Kate Merriman
Wow! Anna and Bruce, you have blown us away! Thank you so much for all your hard work in selling our house for us, we are beyond grateful! From listing to unconditional sale in 4 days, we were absolutely mind blown!
Wouldn’t hesitate in using you again in the future and also will definitely be referring you on to friends and family.
Jennah
We just needed a miracle!
We didn’t need to read Anna and Bruce’s impressive bundle of recommendations to realise how special they were. Having worked in sales/service for 42 years (including 5 years in real estate) one gets to meet all types - the good, the bad, and the ugly. We have also bought and sold 9 family homes over 47 years, four of them privately.
It was Anna and Bruce who contacted us after hearing of our plight to buy our 10th property, i.e. we had found our ‘forever’ home.
Now in our early 70’s it was the home to see us out.
The trouble was, we didn’t find it until the auction marketing was half way through, and we needed to sell our existing home unconditionally before we could bid at auction.
Anna and Bruce came to see us on Saturday. They had put together a marketing plan tailored to meet our unique situation. We accepted the immediately, and true to their word the photos were taken on the Sunday and the listing live by Monday lunch time.
Unfortunately disaster struck 3 hours later!
An offer had been received by the vendor and the auction brought forward to Wednesday at 12.30pm. Anna and Bruce now had less than two days.
Well, thanks to their mammoth effort we had an opening offer by Tuesday evening, and a satisfactory price negotiated by late morning on Wednesday (the day of the auction). At that point we had our auction representative briefed and ready to go.
Sadly, there was one last hurdle. We needed a variation of settlement date and insufficient time to accomplish it. So, 15 minutes before the auction we pulled the plug and had our representative stand down.
That was an exciting but disappointing couple of days, and as a matter of interest, if we had been able to bid we would have blown the auction out the water and made the vendor very happy.
So we live to fight another day and look forward to working with Anna and Bruce next time. They proved they can do the impossible … we just needed a miracle … and that takes a little longer.
John & Jenny Pankhurst
It was time for my Great Aunt to sell her home she has been in for many years and move on to a Retirement home. Anna was the first and only person that I considered.
As I am a mortgage advisor working with clients I get to understand the quality of agents and Anna is at the pinnacle.
The price achieved in the sale of the property was very considerable. To say my Great Aunt was very happy is a major understatement.
Any of my friends, family or clients will certainly be referred to Anna in the future as they have been in the past.
Well done and keep up the great work
Ryan Hamilton Amoore
Despite a declining market and a home with the dreaded plaster cladding, Anna has helped us sell our home in a reasonably timely manner. Anna's communication is superb!
She will always respond to any text or email within half an hour so. This is one thing we really appreciated.
Antony and Louise
Dear Anna and Bruce
We would like to thank Anna and Bruce as we believe after our other experiences with the real estate industry they are truly masters.
Anna and Bruce, as a team have a big picture style of thinking.
Their service and drive were exceptional and went beyond our
expectations.
They made being a first-time seller easy and helped so much with our understanding of both ends of the process. We were always assured by their advice and given the right contacts to make selling our first home a pleasant, successful, and profitable experience.
With their knowledge, guidance, professionalism, and eye for detail, we were promised success and it was over delivered.
Every phone call was promptly answered or returned. We knew exactly what was happening all the time. There was no question left unanswered and all were treated with respect.
They have a positive, patient attitude, and due to their dedication (and to our complete surprise) we were able to purchase the new house of our dreams - also through them - a week later.
We never expected to sell and purchase through the same agent. The process was a delight!
We would highly recommend Anna and Bruce as the dream team and masters in the real estate industry.
With regards,
Marty and Jade Leverno
This is my true story and true feedback—it's a long story cut to short!
My neighbour and I went to arbitration because I was building a dwelling for my parents on my land that is cross-leased with my neighbour's. Though I won the arbitration. The relationship with my neighbour became dramatically awful afterwards.
As a result I was planning to move away and I talked to Anna about my stress, frustration, and the prospect of having to move together with my parents. The magic started from there.
I didn't end up buying the section Anna advertised, but I ended up buying my neighbour's house with Anna and Bruce's help!
No one believed that this would happen but Anna and Bruce. Most importantly they did everything to make it happen. They're always responsive and delivered everything they said and much more beyond.
They are one of the most hardworking, kind, adventurous and trustworthy two people I've ever met.
Anna and Bruce literally transformed my whole family’s life.
Since we purchased my neighbour's house, our life became so peaceful and joyful. I would recommend Anna and Bruce to anyone who wants a house of their dreams. Anna and Bruce will make it come true!
Lan Yang
Anna and Bruce recently sold our home in Hobsonville Point and I thought it was worth mentioning that this is a team that is truly professional, dedicated and caring.
Anna is truly one of a kind, she supported me through the process as it was my first sale in New Zealand.
I highly recommend Anna to any vendor looking to sell their home.
Thanks again!
Sherinne
Anna is amazing, outstanding, and extremely proactive in her “go get ’em” approach. She saw we were renovating our house and knocked on our door. She and Bruce negotiated a record price for our house, and we are now happily living in Perth. I can’t say enough about how awesome Anna is.
Lyn Salele’a
We just wanted to say how much we appreciated everything Anna and Bruce did for us.
Anna and Bruce had a huge range of prospective buyers ready to go, not just for us, but also for our buyers who had to sell their property. Within days we had 3 offers on our home!
We were overseas at the final stage of negotiating, but this process could not have gone easier with their attention to detail and fantastic communication with us.
Anna and Bruce were always available to answer any questions or queries we had.
After signing the contract we unfortunately discovered we had an issue with the title of our property (a situation missed when we purchased our home by lawyers), but they made the whole situation manageable and clear for us. There were continual offers of support and advice for us.
We could not recommend a better team to trust with such a major decision.
Kirsty and Matt Horne
As an ex Real Estate Salesperson I was extremely tempted to sell our family home myself even though I knew all the usual pitfalls. Plus it had already been on the market with another agent for three months.
Fortunately, I came across Bruce who impressed me with his persistent follow ups after a fleeting chance meeting. Shortly after we signed a listing authority so team Bruce and Anna could market our home. They brought several buyers from their database through to view our property and we had a multi offer situation before the first weekend of open homes. Another round of multi offers ensued and our home was sold.
In an uncertain and changing market we were thrilled with a sale within two weeks, their persistence, local knowledge and excellent communication.
We would happily recommend enlisting Bruce and Anna for anyone’s Real Estate needs.
Kay and Ray Wilson
Anna and Bruce listed our daughter’s house for sale recently and from the first meeting when my daughter interviewed four prospective agents these were the stand-out couple.
They explained all steps of the strategy really well and in a way that could be easily understood.
They had a really good handle on the market but the more important virtue from our perspective was that they took the time to understand our daughters wishes and what was really important to her.
It was clear to us that whilst the end result of a sale was a priority, the journey itself should be as stress free as possible. The manner in which they explained process, listened to questions and answered carefully with consideration to our daughter’s goals helped to achieve the outcome we were all seeking, and in a short timeline.
Having bought and sold a number of properties in my life I can say with confidence that no other agent or agency has ever impressed me in the way Anna and Bruce have.
If you are looking to sell your property, I would thoroughly recommend you consider Anna and Bruce, you won't be sorry!
Tony Walker
Anna and Bruce sold our house in no time. They helped us to find our dream home and even managed to convince us to move further out of Auckland. We are very very happy and can’t wait to move into our new home this week. Thanks so much for your help guys! Plus Anna is amazing with kids. I highly recommend these two.
Abby Peters
Ron and I found Anna and Bruce a pleasure to deal with they made the process of selling our house very easy and stress free. We would highly recommend this team.
Wendy and Ron Allen
Anna and Bruce were fantastic when selling our home. They were always contactable and
provided advice and reassurance making things less stressful for us. Their knowledge and passion for Real Estate really shone through. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is either looking at selling or buying property.
Annabelle Bates
I had a couple of ‘local’ agents tell me that the property I owned would be bet sold by auction, a method I don’t think anyone other than the agents actually enjoy, and that I would be lucky to get more than $850,000 for it. I called Anna as she had helped sell my mother’s place when she passed away.
Anna and Bruce suggested using a Set Date of Sale method, which we had a great experience with last time, and so we did that rather than auctioning again.
My property launched on a Tuesday, and across the first weekend of open homes I had more than 70 groups through. By Sunday night I was told there were two offers, and on Monday, five offers were presented to me through a multiple offer process. One of them was from an outside agent which impressed me, as it meant my agents were trying to get the best deal for me.
By that evening, it was under offer for $914,500 and I simply couldn’t believe it was that easy. Today it is Tuesday again, one week after launching, my home is unconditional. I cannot express how simple Anna and Bruce made this process, how little stress I had, and how delighted I am with the price.
They helped me to stage my home for market and found several tradespeople on short notice to undertake work on my property. They even suggested a wonderful conveyancer I will use on my next purchase too.
I would not hesitate to suggest that if you are thinking of selling your home, you select Anna and Bruce as your agents, both times, my experience has been exceptional.
Sincerely
Elizabeth
Thank you for doing such a great job for me. You both made it so stress free (well at this end anyway!) and actually I’m still in a state of disbelief. It’s not yet real for me. I can’t believe that I’ll have some excess cash and won’t need to struggle any more.
Thanks also for the gorgeous orchid it perfectly completes the arrangement on my dresser. So beautiful.
Jasmine and I were so fortunate to meet you that day. Go well and stay safe.
Much love Mary.
Anna and Bruce sold our home in Hobsonville. From the start, we were impressed with their professional approach and their philosophy towards working in real estate. Their appraisal was competitive and also much tighter than others we received. The final sale price was spectacular especially given the shift that occurred in the market over our sales period. Their communication and advice on adapting to these conditions was comprehensive and proved to be effective.
Anna and Bruce easily put in 10x more effort than other agents we have listed with in the past. They worked closely with the photographer and stager to ensure their vision was realised and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. Nothing was too much trouble and their reputation for being two of the best agents is well deserved and regularly demonstrated by the results they achieve.
We highly recommend Anna and Bruce to anyone looking for a no-nonsense, professional team who have a genuine desire to excel in their field. Thank you!
Ann
The best agent out!
Selling a house is never easy, but Anna made it the absolute easiest experience for my siblings and I. She always kept me informed, answered any questions I had (which was a lot), gave professional advice when asked, and helped me in personal matters as well!
Anna’s knowledge in the market is incredible, she sold two of my mum's properties before and each time Anna has provided the same - if not more care and professionalism and physical data to help us achieve what we really want - not what was in her best interest commission wise.
Anna is very confident because she knows what she’s talking about, and to have someone so bubbly is hard to find nowadays, but makes such a difference in this stressful time! I would highly recommend using Anna and Bruce to sell my house.

Anyone can sell a house when the market is doing well. But when there are no buyers, prices are crashing, and you still want to sell, you need someone with actual skills in selling and negotiating deals.
Anna was kind, professional, and really dang good at her job. She sold our house within a few weeks in a falling market for a price I was happy with.
She also tolerated some weird requests from both the buyer and myself, LOL.
If you need a knowledgeable professional who will listen to what your goals are and not try to force you into an expensive and inappropriate sales strategy (*cough* auction *cough*), I strongly recommend Anna.

Great Real Estate Experience!
Anna and Bruce were a pleasure to work with throughout the selling process. They were professional, courteous and communicated extremely well with us throughout the process. They secured us multiple offers and we are very happy with the outcome achieved.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other sellers.

We were extremely satisfied and appreciative of Anna’s expertise when selling our property. Anna’s communication was outstanding and she kept us informed every step of the way. She delivered well above our expectations.
We highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property.

An Agent who takes the stress out of selling, and makes it simple!
Well what can I say... If you want to deal with and agent that makes selling your property stress free, then Anna is the agent for you. I was given Annas contacts via a close friend, and I/we weren't disappointed. Every silly question no matter how small was quickly replied to. I actually signed up with Anna, not having even meet her. All the communications that I had had with her gave me the confidence to sign up.
From the minute we signed everything kicked into gear, recommendations, staging etc. Before we knew we were sold within 2 1/2 weeks!
When I finally met Anna after selling our property, I remember thinking she's the total sales professional that I expected.
I don't normally write reviews, but I believe our experience is worth writing about.
All the best Anna.
Daniel
Anna is a professional and experienced agent. She had and extensive knowledge of the market. Anna advice was always helpful and gratefully received.

Thanks a lot for your great work and support.

Sarah Snyed
Yay! Sold! Anna and Bruce has been nothing but patient & informative towards my endless questions. I can imagine how basic, obvious and maybe silly they were! They assisted me in every step of the way and was prompt to my queries, I would say I have been so blessed with dealing with Anna throughout this stressful experience... Yay!
Janis Leong
Felt very supported by Anna and Bruce as we navigated our way through buying our first home. Incredible service. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone we know!
Ella Juilienne
Without doubt, Anna and Bruce are the best team out there. They gave continual communication and support.
I would highly recommend anyone that wanted to sell contacts Anna.
Alana Oliff
Anna is so kind, helpful and professional from the moment I first spoke on the phone to Anna about the home to now, after we purchased it she has been amazing.
My partner and I are young first home buyers and she has made our home buying process very smooth and such a nice experience.
Communication with Anna has been a breeze and we always felt kept in the loop, she even replied to my emails late at night to help us.
I highly recommend Anna and we feel lucky she was our agent!
From two very happy first home buyers
Jenny
I engaged Anna and Bruce to sell another house in Kelston. They provided the pricing and market research quickly, were very proactive and helpful in dealing with a couple of difficult situations, and helped achieve a positive outcome in a market that was starting a downwards swing, and so I felt comfortable giving them 53 Wood Bay Rd to sell.
Their speed, proactiveness, problem resolution and advice resulted in a sale at a very challenging time in the market.
They’re a great team and I really recommend them.
Nick
Anna and Bruce marketed my home resulting in a successful sale after seven weeks from the initial appraisal. They are knowledgeable, attentive, communicate clearly and have been realistic throughout the process.
Their style is one of a 'light-touch' rather than 'hard-sell' which I find easy, relaxing (as far as this process is ever relaxing!) and effective. They are very professional and impeccably ethical. I would highly recommend them.
Jerry
Standout agent!
Selling and buying in this market has been a very difficult experience for us. It has been disappointing to discover the dishonesty of many in this industry. Thankfully though we got to deal with Anna for our purchase. After dealing with many agents, she has been the clear standout! There were some challenges with buying due to unusual circumstances and Anna was incredible. I really respected how she looked after her vendors, whilst still providing the support we needed as a buyers. She is honest, reliable and great with communication. I would highly recommend using Anna and also Bruce.
Graham
Anna and Bruce are an awesome team! Helped make the whole process of selling our home go very smoothly.
Highly recommend these guys, a pleasure to work with.
Mike Segentin
Sold! Wonderful! Thank you so much to both of you for all your work helping us with selling and buying. It has been fantastic, and pretty much completely stress free, so we really appreciate it.
It ended up working fantastically for both of us :)
Briar Broad
If any of our Auckland friends are looking for some passionate straight-talking real estate agents, we can definitely recommend Anna and Bruce!
They complement each other perfectly and are a fantastic team.
First open home happened on a Saturday, house was sold on Sunday!!
Couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
Sujith Ramanchandra
We would recommend Anna and Bruce to all.
Their communication was constant and they were only to happy to answer any queries we had.
Thanks so much for your support through what could be such a stressful process.
Vicki Wilkins
Best. Agent. Ever.
We couldn't have hoped for a more responsive, knowledgeable and supportive agent to guide us through the sale process.
Anna provided considered advice with a confident, empathetic approach. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Warm regards
Caitlin and Tim
Overall very good experience, would recommend.
Anna was very professional and friendly and very prompt at replying to all our messages. She was able to get us a decent price at a time when there was not much activity in the market. Bruce was also very helpful and friendly. They picked a sales strategy that suited our house, which we think made a big difference.
Thanks a lot for your help guys!
Simon
Anna and Bruce were the agents acting for the people we purchased from, but as a buyer I found them both incredibly helpful, easy to talk to and supportive.
They didn’t “grab our money and see ya sunshine", they were in contact via text after we settled to see how things were going and left a couple of lovely gifts in the kitchen on the day we moved for when things were stressful and you needed that 10 min break with a coffee and a biscuit.
I highly recommend them both for the excellent job they do.
