Ian Taylor

Ian was extremely approachable and went above and beyond. We were first time buyers so in this heated market things got tough and confusing! Ian took the time to explain everything to us, to follow up on things and even got involved when we had issues getting hold of the vendors lawyer prior to settlement - he helped us a great deal. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ian and working with him again. Thank you Ian! Agent Fabuleux!

Ian’s level of professionalism was exceptional and delivered on all that he promised, he went over and above in all aspects in his dealings with me. Ian is a very kind and genuine person.

Support throughout the sale with my elderly mother. Ian was exceptional mum had full confidence in Ian. He was such a gentlemen, explained everything very thoroughly to her was always available to answer any questions. Most certainly the most professional real estate agent we have had to deal with

Ian was the consummate professional. He rung us nearly every day to keep us well informed of any updates about prospective purchasers and extremely relevant feedback for our property. I would not hesitate for one second to use Ian Taylor again in the future.

Ian went above and beyond the call of duty as I was an ‘absent vendor’ having relocated prior to the marketing of my property. Ian assisted by providing access to furniture staging folk, tidying up after the staging folk and ensuring the proper was well looked after throughout the process. His daily updates were also most appreciated.

Listened to our needs and acted on them. He fully explained the whole sales process

Ian sold my parents house and was very compassionate to my mothers situation as she was very fragile. Ian is extremely professional and works for the best possible outcome in selling your home.

His commitment was unquestionable and he kept us informed throughout. We would happily recommend Ian to anyone. We appreciate all your hard work Ian". Many thanks from Melissa

Exceptional agent and listens to client's needs

Ian was an absolute pleasure to deal with, he is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and couldn't have done anything more to try and achieve the ultimate goal of selling my property. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ian to Friends, Family or work colleagues.

Our dealings with Ian made the process of purchasing our first home a great experience. Ian showed us through multiple potential properties, always giving his honest opinion on the condition of the property and its suitability to our needs. Ian’s knowledge, communication and experience enabled us to make informed decisions when we finally found the property we wished to buy. Ian guided us throughout the entire process of purchasing our first home by giving us sound advice and detailed explanation of each step. We would highly recommend Ian to anyone looking to sell or buy a property. Thanks again Ian!! Taryn and Chris

Ian was very helpful and most reassuring. There have been a few hiccups with the buyer but hopefully this has all been sorted out now.

Ian was professional and knowledgeable throughout the sale.

Ian has been very professional in his dealings with me. Ian communicated well on a daily basis and kept me informed of every development in the sale process. Ian returned my calls promptly, he was always cheerful and is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. It was a pleasure to have Ian market my home.

Very knowledgeable about the market and the best way to sell a property. Extremely helpful and works in with a busy life style.

Great service. Complete feed back on everything and very friendly aprochable person.

Ian was fantastic. Kept us informed throughout the whole process, provided great service and feedback was very timely.

Ian is professionalism personified; an excellent communicator who readily shares his knowledge and expertise.

Very close to a perfect ten, but then I never give out a ten. Now that we’re well and truly ensconced in Tauranga, I thought I’d send a quick note of appreciation for the job you did selling our Auckland house. When we sat down with Ian and Manjula to instruct you for the sale of our Ormiston, ( Flat Bush ) house we said that it had to be sold without delay as a condition of purchase for our dream home in Tauranga. We were prepared to accept a fair price for a quick sale. Your response was that you would get us both a good price and a quick sale. You did both, got us a good price and a back-up agreement, hence we got the retirement house of our dreams. Many thanks. Graham and Christine.

We as a family we felt that Ian went beyond expectations with the way he looked after my elderly parents. His professional manner in the way he marketed the property gave the excellent result on auction night.. Our family are pleased that Neil placed Ian on this account and we will recommend him to others, Thank you Ian Jackie Kelly

Ian was very professional and kept as well informed through out the selling process and after the auction.

Professional way in which Ian and his team managed the sale process.

“It’s been such a delightful experience to dealing with Ian when we buying a house, who can provide useful information and professional advice, helping us on making this important decision. He also helping us on settling in this new area as well. Thank you so much Ian, will differently recommend you to our families and friends.” Thanks Again Ian for all your help..

Ian kept in touch with us all the time, gave good advice when we asked for it and achieved an excellent price for our property.

Ian was fantastic to deal with and highly professional at all times. He explained everything about the auction process to us and got us a good price for our house. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to buy or sell a house.

He has great communication and goes above and beyond to help his clients!

Ian very honest and working very hard to achieved great result. Ian is loving and caring person. We are extremely satisfied with Ian great idea and inovations to achieved high price.

Ian Taylor was great. He followed through on everything he said he would. we were informed all the way. Ian is considerate and helpful and there was never any pressure,( which we had experienced with another agent), to go ahead unitl we were ready.

Ian Taylor sold my elderly parent’s house in October 2015. They had been in their house for 46 years so it was a difficult and challenging decision and my parents were somewhat apprehensive about this move. However it was made a lot easier due to Ian Taylor. The house was sold by Auction and he went out of his way to explain the process to my parents in a professional but also caring way and he kept them consistently updated throughout the whole process. Ian was not only professional and wanting the best possible price for my parents, but also caring and genuine in his dealings with them. This was very comforting for me as a daughter based in Christchurch knowing that they were being cared for in this way. He met with them on at least a weekly basis prior to the sale and consistently and personally updated them on the interest that was coming from the open homes. My parents enjoyed his visits and the way that he dealt with them helped to ease their concern about selling their home. In addition they were very happy with the promotional side of this sale. He also went out of his way to solve an issue that was causing their lawyer some concern and kept us updated; i.e. their children, and also liaised with us when necessary. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ian Taylor to anyone who is looking at selling their home. Sue Elliott

Because he had my best interests at heart

Ian was excellent. Could not have asked any more of him. Communication was exceptional, keeping us fully informed of everything that was happening.

I was very impressed with Ians attention to detail, he always explained things well and I feel went the extra mile to ensure our property was sold.

Ian Taylor provides you with an excellent stress free service and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to sell their house. He knows the market place well and is realistic and honest in his appraisal, unlike some agents who will hike the sale price up to gain the listing. His marketing ability is excellent. He presented ways of marketing which we had not thought of and they were fruitful in getting prospective buyers through the house. Ian will genuinely work hard for you as the seller and I would definitely use him again should we wish to list another property.

Efficient helpful and very professional

Great communication, follow up and advise.

Have known Ian for many years, he is very good to work with, plus he has sold 2 x previous homes for us.

Ian was honest and open with all his communication throughout the process. We were kept informed every step of the way. Ian was very personable, and always at hand if need be.

Ian was attentive, knowledgeable, experienced and willing to share all of this with us without hesitation. He did everything he said he would and more. We could not have asked for better service!!! Thank you Ian!

Friendly approach, kept us informed & offered good advice

Ian was at all time informative of his progress with the selling of my house.\ Which is very important when you are the seller of a property.\ Also when my house went to auction he got the best price.

Friendly, professional and honest! All the qualities a good agent should have... he followed up requests promptly and nothing was ever an issue or problem.

Ian would have to be the best Real Estate agent I have dealt with. He kept us informed right through the process. He never said anything he could not back up. He did everything he said he would do, and onb auction night he worked very hard to get us a fantastic result. So yes, worth a 10.

He was fantastic, professional & very helpful!

I found Ian covered all areas of the selling process really well. At all times I was updated on a regular basis in every area be it big or small. His feedback was excellent after buyer visits either at the open for inspections or private viewings. I would recommend Ian to anyone who is thinking of selling, we will use Ian again in our real estate transactions. Regards, Sue

Ian was very quick in getting us through a suitable property, even before the first open home. He stood with us at the auction and gave us tips on bidding which helped us win our first home. Even after the auction he didn't hesitate to meet us at the property to let tradesmen through so we could organise our renovations after the settlement date. We felt we could trust him, he is very approachable and friendly. I would definitely recommend Ian to others and he will be the one I call when it comes time to move again. Thanks Nicola and Mark

We were introduced to Ian Taylor by a work colleague and within two weeks Ian had found a property that suited our requirements. We had been looking for a few weeks having sold our property so there was a little urgency in finding our new home. We received a phone call from Ian asking us to take a look at one of the new listings from his sales meeting, this was a hot property and once we viewed it we realised it fitted most of our needs. Ian negotiated the agreement with us, and we were informed that another three buyers would be making offers at the same time, (multiple offer). Ian guided us through the process and we all waited until one of the managers presented the offers to the owners. To our delight, Ian called to give us the good news, we had the best offer and the property was ours conditional on a builders report. The builder gave the property the all clear and hey presto we finally had a new home. During the whole process we found Ian to be very personable and efficient, his knowledge of the real estate market was excellent. Had it not been for Ian's hard work and determination we would not be in the lovely new house we are now enjoying. Tony & Irene Northpark Howick

Many thanks Ian for the sale of my property. It was a great pleasure working with you again after the great service you provided with the sale of my first property some 4 and 1/2 years ago and another successful sale more recently. I very much appreciate all the communication every step of the way as well as all the advice, support, recommendations, and experience, you offered. You made the sale a lot easier and less stressful particularly with my young family. Your honesty and friendly approach is also an asset to you. I have no hesitation in recommending you and would like to wish you the very best of luck in all aspects of your future. Thanks again, Sara

Ref: Ian We listed our home for sale with Ian in May of this year. He advised us to sell it by auction. We followed his advice and 31/2 weeks later our house was unconditionally sold at a price which far exceeded our expectations. During the marketing period Ian did not once mislead us as to the possible result, nor did he treat any enquiry with a pass off, even agents from other companies were invited to bring possible buyers. He kept us informed almost daily with the current agent activity and once a week sent us a written report on marketing progress. The presentation expectation of our home was highlighted with a very professional photographic portfolio and an impressive sales brochure. On auction night, this is where Ian really stood out, he worked the potential bidders, and along with a senior staff colleague from his office,managed to achieve a very impressive result. We have never had service to this level from any Real Estate agent before. Ian Taylor is a very professional person with top class presentation and integrity. We would have no hesitation recommending Ian Taylor to other people. Yours Faithfully, Darryll & Fiona Hart

In dealing with Ian over the marketing and selling of our property, we found him to be very professional, honest and straight up. He kept us informed on any comments that would either enhance or challenge the sale, and for that honesty we are grateful. Likewise his colleagues who showed people through our home, were of a high standard and I am sure they find Ian very ethical to deal with and alway willing to help where he can. His keen sense of humour coupled with hard working integrity sums up this man as a valuable member of the Ray White team. Sincerely, Ann & Rex

This was our first time selling a house and Ian's easy going and helpful nature made it a breeze. He set out a clear course of action which produced a far better result than we had ever anticipated, which was undoubtedly helped by his large network of agents and contacts, to whom he marketed our property. It was a fairly hectic time in our lives with David having already relocated north, and Ian was always able to be contacted and went out of his way to answer questions and discuss our strategy based on the results and feedback from open homes. Ian kept us well informed throughout the process, and we would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat (we have already recommended him to our former neighbours and he has done an excellent job selling their property too!) David and Hannah Rummery, Pakuranga

Ian is one of those people that really do what they say, we found Ian always delivered an unparelled level of professionalisim and service throughout every aspect of our sale, every step of the way. I have extensive experience with real estate people over the years and I have to say Ian is in my humble opinion, un equaled in his field. I would not hesitate to recomend Ian to anyone looking for the right real estate person, and i am confident some 110% that he would be the best person for the job. Ian has become a great friend to the whole family, as we are going overseas he will be one of the people that will be sadly missed, All I can say is from all of us a massive thank you, Andrew, Amanda and Charlotte Northpark

We have known Ian Taylor for 10 years, since we bought our house in 2002, he helped us with that purchase by negotiating with another real estate company and securing our home. When we decided to sell the house in August 2012 we asked Ian to help, Ian worked hard to sell the house during a three week Auction campaign, by his hard work and commitment and a massive 56 bids at the Auction, the house was sold at a price we thought was unachievable. We thank Ian Taylor for his honesty and hard work, We highly recommend him. Imad and Huda Dannemora.

On behalf of my parents and our family I wish to thank you and your team at Ray White Pakuranga for more than just selling our family home of 60 years for above the expected selling price. The way you kept my elderly parents fully informed throughout the entire process was fantastic, with my mother being completely deaf you visited them daily and kept mum fully informed and very much involved in the selling by auction process, for this we thank you. Ian you show true compassion towards my parents selling their only home and showed an awareness of the stress this process can cause, however due to the bond you developed with Mum and Dad stress was kept to a minimum. Thanks for keeping an eye on them and informing other members of the family along the way, you worked hard and are a strong communicator. Our decision to use Ray White was one of repeat business, however in doing so we requested that the Principal of Mountford Realestate select the right Agent to manage the sale and Neil selected Ian. After a meeting with Neil, Ian and family members, we felt happy with the partnership to sell Browns Avenue. Ian,we couldn't have asked for a better agent and would highly recommend you to others and will use your service again when required.

When we decided to sell our much loved home we had every confidence that Ian was the best man for the job. From the on set we were very impressed with Ian's personal, professional and friendly approach. He was honest and upfront and was always available should we have any questions etc. His communication was second to none with constant contact as to where we were at throughout the process (we actually miss our daily chats!). Thank you Ian for a positive, stress-free experience in selling our beloved home. If we return to NZ we will certainly look you up. Best wishes for the future, thanks again Rich, Nic, Harrison, Kaleb & Mackenzie (2 Noble Court, Toplands)
