Thank you again Peter.

Craig and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Peter Vink from Ray White Tutukaka when purchasing our previous home through him over ten years ago. We found Peter professional, friendly open and honest. Nothing was a problem and all question were dealt with quickly and efficiently. So when it came time to move on and sell our property we had no hesitations in approaching Peter to market and sell this for us. He made himself available at all times through out this process and kept us informed every step of the way. We felt he went above and beyond his duty and we can't thank him enough. Shortly after listing our property with Peter at Ray White Tutukaka we found we were in a draw to win a 2016 Volkswagon Cross Polo from IC Motors in Whangarei. We were over the moon and excited when we received the call from him to say we were the Lucky draw winners. A Massive Thank you to Peter Vink, The Ray White Team and IC Motor Group. It was a Fabulous Surprise and we Love it!
Peter is personable and enthusiastic and full of encouragement. He knows everyone in the area and has much helpful advice.

Peter was recommended to me and having worked with him I can understand why. He was very helpful right from the beginning when he showed me the homes I wanted to see. I live in Auckland and he helped me negotiate all aspects of the purchase from there. He is straight forward and honest and has a strong depth of local knowledge which was invaluable to me.
Peter has been a pleasure to work with and has gone out of his way to assist us with all aspects of relocating to the Whangarei area. Thanks Peter. Really appreciate all your help and assistance.

The depth of his knowledge of the properties viewed, the local area, building regulations and even-handedness in negotiations to purchase the property we bought.
Peter brought us and the vendors together and this made everything much easier. We were then able to talk to them about everything and it made signing a contract with them much easier and quicker.

Professional and patient.

I can recommend with pleasure that you use the services of Peter Vink to buy or sell your Tutukaka Coast property. He has an excellent knowledge of nearly every house on the coast because of his many years of selling real estate on the Coast & also he has probably sold more houses than anyone else in this area. We purchased our house through Peter & because we were pleased with the way he handled the transaction we used him again to sell our Wellington Bay property. He also has the finely honed diplomatic skills needed to "smooth over" the inevitable issues that arise between a buyer & a seller. Lance Weller – 10 May 2015
Our family had the privilege of working with Peter in mid 2014 while searching for a house from overseas prior to our return to NZ. Throughout the process Peter was patient, helpful, thoughtful and considerate of our situation. Having never spent time in Northland we relied on his local knowledge and deep understanding of the market and potential houses available. Peter happily made video tours of properties for us and helped us to source inspectors and builders to assess what we could only judge from a distance. In finding our eventual home for us Peter succeeded in fitting the family to the property perfectly, which is a testament to his ability to listen and understand our needs. His efforts extended beyond the sale and purchase as he was there when we arrived into Ngunguru and helped us to move in, even assembling our children’s beds! It was a pleasure working with Peter from day 1 and we would have no hesitation in using his services again or recommending him to anyone looking to sell or buy a property in the area.
My husband and I purchased our land through Peter Vink in March 2014. We found Peter very approachable and easy to talk to. He worked with us closely over several months to not only find the right section but also helped us to negotiate a price that fit within our budget. We believe Peter's extensive knowledge of the area helped us find our dream section and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell on the Tutukaka coast.
I found both Peter & Sherilyn very professional, friendly and very informative in the process of selling my house. I was more than happy with their services.
I have found Peter Vink to be a most professional and competent real estate agent, and a pleasure to deal with. I would have no reservation in recommending him to others.
Peter, when dad passed away so suddenly and unexpectedly the handling of the property seemed like an almost impossible task. Considering the state it was in we were so worried that the sale of it would be handled in a blaze' way as to most it must appear to be a run down house belonging to someone who has now passed away and so why really put too much effort into it. But behind that house are 6 daughters who will have the chance to do something special with the small inheritance this house will provide and as we have never really had much, it will be almost life changing. For myself it will allow me to finish my degree, for my sisters, it will provide freedom to pursue their own goals. Because of this we are so, so grateful that from the very outset you have been so clearly motivated to do the best you can with the property, you have been sending Carolyn regular updates which has made us feel like we are always in the loop and you have been such a brilliant professional and we are all actually really overwhelmed by your service to us and will be always grateful for how you made what initially felt like an impossible task, seem so easy. If there is ANY forum I can go to to publicly express our gratitude, write a review, anything at all please forward me details. You are a very kind and decent man.
A big thank you to all the team for your helpfulness, sound advice and courtesy in selling and buying properties. You are all a very special team ... We would have no hesitation in recommending your team to anyone that requires the best.
We wanted to thank you so much for all your time last month, in helping us to find suitable land to buy in and around Tutukaka. You were very helpful and we were very grateful. We have bought some land in Parua Bay, an 11 acre mature bush site, with a building site. We have sea views and lots of birds so are very excited. Now we are trying to design our perfect house! That is proving a challenge but very interesting. We hope business continues well for you. Perhaps we will catch up with you in the future when we settle into the area. Thank you once again. PS: We were very impressed with the build of the Meier's house. We may call you to check on the details. 26 April 2007
We wish to let you know how happy we have been with Peter's recent handling of our house sale at 4 Manawa Drive, Ngunguru. He kept us informed on progress, put in the hours with open homes every weekend, and looked into ways in which to market the house that was fresh and different for the area. We would be pleased to list any future properties with Peter again.
I write to express my appreciation for the work done by your Tutukaka Coast Team (Chris Windust and Peter Vink) in the sale of my property at Lot 22 Lawson Drive, Tutukaka. Chris and Peter excelled themselves in their energetic marketing of the property, and this was rewarded when they completed the sale of the property for me in March of this year. The property had been listed with numerous other agents but it was Chris and Peter who showed the way in every aspect of promoting and marketing the property. I particularly appreciated their helpful advice on methods of marketing the property, signage and also matters of pricing. It was no surprise therefore that they, amongst the various agents with whom the property was listed, were the ones successful in making a sale. I would be grateful if you could convey these sentiments to Chris and Peter. 28 April 2007
Excellent service, positive attitude and good regular feed back.
He is a pleasure to deal with. Calm and took everything in his stride. He continued to market the property over the 2 years it took to sell giving good relevant and helpful feedback.
Expert advice, very efficient, very helpful, gentle manners
From when the agreement went unconditional to date of settlement exceeding 6 months Peter was calm and patient with the prospect buyer against a background of a flat coastal market. What matter to me was the deepness of our relationship and help which Peter gave me.
Mainly be cause of his experience and knowledge of the market. He also has the right personality for the job
Peter just knew the whole process so well. It was very good. Most of all he provided the energy. Every step was forward. Final result . . . everyone happy.
Peter Vink is so easy to deal with, no pushiness, answers all your questions and if he doesn't know he goes that extra mile to find out for you, a great guy to deal with.
