Gareth Appleby

Good communication. Helpful advice. A sense of humour. Knowledgeable in local realestate.

Gareth is pleasant, professional and provides pertinent information in a timely manner. He sold our property well for us and we are very grateful.

Gareth made the selling process very easy for us. He was available to answer our questions and reliable, phoning us regularly to keep us informed. He followed leads regarding potential buyers and ensured that our auction day went smoothly with plenty of buyers at the auction. He has been a pleasure to work with and we really appreciate his expertise.

Responsive, friendly and professional with no unnecessary aggressive sales tactics. And a lovely welcome when we took possession of our new home.

“I found Gareth to be very professional and excellent when negotiating with the purchaser. It was great to have his guidance in the selling process as I had not sold a house for over 20 years. I felt very confident having him as my agent and would use Ray Whites services in the future.”

We appointed Gareth Appleby to be our real estate agent for the sale of our house in November 2018. Gareth is an extremely friendly, positive and hungry individual easy to get along with, also makes you feel comfortable from the first meeting. Great drive and determination to get the right result for us. Very strong communication through the 4-week process, at no time did my wife or I feel in the dark regarding the outcome of open homes or the amount of interested parties. We sold at auction on the first attempt with only one bidder and I felt that Gareth worked tirelessly to achieve a positive outcome for us. The sale went well and there were no problems at settlement. I, 100% recommend Gareth to assist in the sale of property’s, very knowledgeable, good advice from the outset.

I want to thank you very much for carrying out this mission. You are very professional in your conduct and always courteous. You are very organised and resourceful. When it was time to do so, you drew up a time frame and worked towards it. I know it’s part of the job but you came, saw what needed doing, and did it; that initiative is so very admirable. I was not sure of what to do or what was expected but you talked me through it and took everything in your stride, and had the open home going week in week out. Throughout the process you were always warm and patient which I found so admirable. You kept me in the loop throughout and always made sure that I understood fully the progress to date. Your positivity and endless optimism was quite uplifting. You are genuine and caring and show that people matter. You relate to people well and earn trust through walking the talk. This was evident in your finding me a place in the village of my choice. Although that did not turn out as I had expected, you made sure there was a provision in my contract with a rental option, should I be unable to find a suitable residence within that time frame. Very early in our relationship, another player came on the scene. Someone with lots of promises and I was almost persuaded to jump ship hadn’t it been for you Gareth! You took it all in your stride and just talked about the standards you keep. I’m glad I stayed. You sure do have standards. You are the winning team. Thank you. Thank you. I wish you well.

It is our immense pleasure to recommend Gareth Appleby as a real estate agent for selling a property. We found Gareth to be a highly attentive agent, going far and beyond to ensure everything was in place for the sale of our property. He returned all phone calls and emails quickly and worked around our schedule to have regular meetings. After each open home he gave us written and verbal feedback about each potential buyer that went through the houses and followed up each buyer with phone calls to discuss the house. Gareth was able to sell our house for an excellent price, he has a sound knowledge of the Auckland area and his previous experience in rentals properties has developed empathy for the owners he has in his care. Not only is Gareth a great agent he is also a nice guy, he is reliable, dedicated and a pleasure to work with. Gareth. We are pleased to recommend Gareth Appleby to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again he will be our first choice in real estate agents.

..these guys marketed the property exceptionally well! I only had three open homes and we went to auction. During this process I was shielded from all the non-sense that you generally get, questions the buyers ask extras and also viewings after hours. Gareth even baby sat my dogs because I couldn’t stay back for the special viewing, so definitely go above and beyond acting in your best interests. Through this process I was never stressed or felt under pressure. I was fully informed on who the potential buyers were and why they are interested. My interests and property was respected...
