Dave McCartney

Would recommend Dave to anyone selling or buying a house, his experience, professionalism and knowledge of the market was second to none. We were kept up to date at all times through the negotiations with both parties very happy with the out come.

Dave and Silvan were great to work with! they made the process as easy as possible in a very tough market, smashed the sale on our home and then sold us into our new family oasis. Dave showed true market knowledge and obviously has a real wealth of experience in both what buyers are looking for and what sellers expect - he keeps the momentum high and maintains progress even when there are hurdles, we found him to be an honest straight shooter and always had the best outcome in mind on both sides of the process. The marketing Dave carried out was fantastic and we strongly believe his approach is what sets team McCartney clients out from the rest of the crowd and gives you the edge in putting more buyers through open homes and making enquiries, combine this with his positive attitude and personal touch when dealing with buyers means that throughout the process we had constant interest in our home and the listing never went stale. Silvan was amazing - he is honest, personable and thoroughly reliable, he works hard on every enquiry and every question we had. He proved to be keenly aware of all facets of the market and and the ins and outs of what was going on at all times. He was calm and resilient through all the ups and downs of our journey and never swayed from the goal. Silvan and Nikki (who is also great) worked together on the purchase of our new home and they proved, once again, that Team McCartney are the best in the business. Dave and Silvan showed true grit and endless positivity in what is a major event in most people's lives. There is no "perfect" time to sell or buy, especially for two busy working parents juggling a very busy toddler. The process was testing at times, stressful at others and a real laugh when it could be! Thanks to Dave, Silvan and the rest of the McCartney Team we couldn't think of going through it with anyone else.

We cannot express how delighted we were with the service that Dave provided for us. In a market where houses were struggling to sell Dave and his team came up with an inspired marketing approach that got the results we were after - house sold and our price expectations met. Highly recommend Dave McCartney!!

Buttered Bullets - No one will bring more energy and good vibes to the process of selling your home than Dave and Courtney. Just watch the team's videos. Their marketing plan is so well considered, they not only showcase a home's features, they sell the dream and the emotion - and in today's market, that is everything. If you're not with Dave and Team McCartney, you're selling yourself short. Thank you so much for selling my home so quickly, and for all the jellybeans you left me after the open homes. DB

Complete package Dave and his team demonstrated exceptional service from the very beginning. We initially considered going to market a year before we eventually proceeded with the sale, and throughout that period, Dave provided valuable guidance, both intermittently and consistently as needed. When the time came to sell, Dave, Silvan, and the broader team delivered comprehensive market insights, presented a range of strategies and options, and helped us confidently choose the best approach with well-informed advice—without any undue pressure. Although I was unable to be present during the sales process, Dave kept me thoroughly involved through regular updates, photos, and video calls, ensuring I stayed connected throughout. The final outcome exceeded our expectations, and we are deeply grateful to Dave and his team for their work. One of the standout aspects for me was Dave’s deep understanding of marketing—his ability to effectively leverage various marketing channels and connect with the right audience was truly impressive. Without hesitation, I would work with Dave again.

Dave McCartney, Has been a dream to work with. He is pleasant, easy to worth with, not pushy, full of knowledge and (most importantly) told us up front how the market was likely to roll for us, and he was bang on the nail. There was no surprises, he got a sale in the price range he said, in the time period he said... We will defiantly use Dave again

Dave and Nicky were fantastic to deal with and we are so pleased we chose them to sell our house. Their marketing is second to none and their knowledge of the market and communication throughout the campaign was great. They made the process feel stress free and through their negotiating skills secured a good price for us.

Dave and Silvan were fantastic to work with. We needed a team who would help us find exactly the right buyer for our family home and they delivered the goods. They were crystal clear with all communications and delivered an effective marketing strategy. Couldn’t be happier with the result.

Nicky and Dave are the dream team! In a tough market they were able to get us the result needed. Their honesty and integrity was evident every step of the way, and we were kept well informed throughout the campaign and negotiations.

Great market knowledge, clear open and direct communication and at all times very professional Putting your family home on the market is for most people a very stressful and emotional event, not something that one does on a regular basis! Dave and Silvan’s friendly, supportive and professional service made everything that much easier and, we have no doubt, led to the successful sale of our much loved home!! We would not hesitate to recommend Dave, Silvan and the Howick Ray White Team to our colleagues and friends. Thank you Dave and Silvan

Team McCartney Delivers! Dave is an informed and professional operator with an honest and open approach to how he sees a property in relation to the current market conditions. With knowledge and experience that was obvious, along with great communication skills both Dave and Nicky are an impeccably presented, capable team that worked hard for us to succeed in securing a buyer for our property. I highly recommend Dave McCartney and the team for selling your next property.

Huge thank you for all your support and guidance selling our home I felt so at ease having you by our side, nothing was a problem for you, your kindness, energy and professional approach was amazing. Thank you.

Great Team work Right from day1, Dave and his team have been fantastic. While living overseas communications, through different time zones was never a problem. Thank you for keeping us updated and persevering through such a trying market period.

Straight forward, effective campaign in a very tough market After selling our first property with Dave 6 years ago we always knew we’d sell with him again when the time came. As we were selling in a tough Auckland market, which had switched to more of a buyer’s market, Dave was very clear about expectations and strategies he would use to give us the best chance of selling. As we’d already committed to moving in and had to sell it was more a question of how quick would it sell and for how much. We had a short but very effective campaign. In a market where lots of open homes were quiet we had multiple groups through every weekend with several repeats. Every week when we’d catch up with Dave and Nicky there would be new updates from potential buyers and what I appreciated was the excellent feedback details coming through each week. I also get the impression Dave tailors his approach to every vendor. I didn’t want to be inundated with constant comparisons and analysis from other priorities as ultimately the market was going to dictate it for us. Dave was excellent at giving us the updates and key information we needed to know without being overwhelming. I’ve always been terrified of auctions but the key takeaway for us and measure of success was that we went to auction night with multiple registered bidders who came prepared to buy and ultimately we sold our beloved home under the hammer with some competitive bidding which, in this current market, definitely exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Dave and his team enough. If I was ever buying or selling in the area again there’s no question about who I’d be talking to. I wouldn’t look eisewhere.

Great service and easy to deal with. Top knotch service and communication. Extra effort made when required. Friendly people with our best interests at heart. Great team all round.

Easy going. Fantasic communication. Just loved his marketing campaign which got us a top result.

Easiest Experience Ever. What can I say about Dave and Courtney? They are really good at what they do, this is not a job to them, it's a calling. They genuinely care about everyone, and what happens to each property. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them. Great communication, prompt and also breaking everything down for us so we could understand. They jumped through hoops (and on the trampoline!), they flexed when needed, all in all the process felt far too easy.

Excellent- Top rate service, no stone was left unturned to get an excellent fast outcome. A special mention to Courtney who went out of her way for me on many occasions.

Good advice on market strategy. Dave and Silvan were great to deal with. We appreciated their insights and advice on how to get a result in what a market that faced with a flood of new properties and buyers with constrained financing. We got a preauction offer and sold at auction for 70k higher, so were pleased with the result!

Dave put us at ease when we first met him. He came over very friendly and put us at ease. He kept us well informed on what was happening with our open homes. We would have no hesitation in recomending him to any one who wanted a good. Honest sales agent. Verified by RateMyAgent

Dave did an outstanding job selling our property. The whole process went smoothly from start to finish. We are very happy with the sale price we achieved thanks to Dave's industry experience and exceptional communication and negotiating skills. I highly recommend Dave and his team.

Dave has extensive experience and he is happy to discuss options in a real way. He has achieved phenomenal results for us and guided us through the sale. Thank you!

Dave is gold! How he interacts with his clients to get an understanding of their needs is outstanding. Very professional in all our dealings and exceeded our expectations. The marketing of our property was amazing!

Selling our property of four decades with Dave and April has been a delight and pleasure. They lived up to our expectations of the McCartney Group, did a stunning job marketing the property and creating the environment to achieve a result that was above our expectations. Communication was timely, clear and effective. Dave and April were respectful of our needs and wishes, appreciating and promoting the many positive features of our home. Dave’s creative approach to problem solving meant any issues that arose were dealt with in a win/win fashion. We’d recommend them without reservation to sell your home.

Dave is an experienced, personable and warm agent who looks to ensure you are kept up to date with the process, market and potential buyers. All of this helped Kate and I feel confident and comfortable in the process. Our house had a pre-auction offer in 9 days which was amazing!! SO happy with the result in a trying market.

A very professional and knowledgeable agent. Keeps the vendor up to date with information all through the process. Dave took the stress and anxiety out of selling a property and replaces it with fun and excitement while still maintaining professionalism. The experience was really a good and positive outcome for us. We would recommend Dave to anyone wanting to sell their property. Thanks Ray White.

From start to finish the service and the experience with Dave and Silvan was outstanding! Any barrier they came up against, they smashed through them and got the job done. The marketing campaign gave the house the best opportunity to sell, the photos, videos, social media, website presence was the best in market. Daves contacts, presence and knowledge of the east Auckland was a massive advantage. I would never use another Real Estate agent again when selling, the whole team at Team Mccartney were the best!

Dave is a true professional and highly skilled Real Estate agent. He is different from the rest. He gets marketing, he is a considered communicator and an exceptionally hard worker.

great communication, advise and had a great realistic plan from the start that we stuck to. He worked tirelessly with enthusiasm throughout even in the auction room with not only potential buyers but the agent we were purchasing our next house from to make the deal happen. Couldn't have done this with out him and his team

Dave made the whole process seamless right from beginning to end. We felt very engaged every step of the way, Dave communication made us feel at ease.

We were always well informed about the direction we were going in and being updated all the time, no guessing for us

Dave has a huge passion for real estate. His advice, energy and absolute dedication ensured we felt confident and supported through the full process, ultimately landing us a great result!

Dave was amazing to deal with. Excellent marketing. Kept us informed as to progress with phone calls and written reports after each Open Home. We felt well looked after and would happily recommend Dave to market and sell your home.

Dave was awesome to work alongside. He’s honest, has great knowledge and supportive in what can be a stressful time

In a declining market and under pressure to sell our house, we couldn't have chosen a better agent to work with. Dave was attentive and great to deal with throughout the entire process. Looking forward to working with you again Dave on our next property venture.

Dave was outstanding and guided us through the selling process with patience, knowledge and charisma. He listened to our ideas and brought wisdom, perspective and direction to our campaign. He’s a champion.

50 years in the same house meant the decision to sell was a nervous time. From the outset Dave and his team lead us skillfully through the process. Everything was explained in accurate detail, our thoughts and requirements were listened to and respected, a programme set and the journey began. We were kept informed of progress all the way though and they were available anytime we had questions. The bright cheerful approach from the team made a stressful situation more bearable and the effort put in to achieve the desired result was amazing. Thank you Team McCartney you are the best.

Dave was enthusiastic and professional, and got a great result for us selling our home.

We always felt well looked after and listened to. We really like Dave's approach and definitely appreciate his thespian flair. Selling your house is a big deal and it can be nerve wracking, but Dave's approach, determination and manner set us at ease. Thank you Team McCartney.

Dave knows his stuff and he has a great skill at connecting with people. He’s honest and open with his feedback and what is achievable and got an amazing result for us. I’ve already recommended him to other people and if I was to sell again in the future, I’d definitely use him again. Thanks Dave!

Found Dave very easy to work with, he has great knowledge. And would have no hesitation in recommending him to future clients.

Dave, Dom and Courtney by far exceeded our expectations. Would 100% recommend this team to sell your property.

We found Dave from Team McCartney fantastic to deal with! Amazing knowledge, interesting marketing strategies, great communication and plenty of laughs & humour along the way! We could not fault the service of him & the team and would highly recommend and use them again if we ever needed too. Thanks again Team McCartney for an outstanding experience and a top result at the end!

I am so impressed with the marketing of my property, the photos, video and the result of a very quick sale. Courtney did a brilliant job from start to finish and she is still in touch helping me to sort things. Very professional indeed!
