Testimonials

Andrew Bunting

"In Sam we Trust..." Sam was professional from the get go. We respected his openness & honesty on property value and timeframes. He guided us through the process and fine print, so everything made sense at all phases. Supported by a great team - the photoshoot was true to life but impressive. His commitment exceeded our expectations. Sam was always readily available, calm and polite during our emotional ride..... 5 stars? Because he LISTENS, he HEARS, he's GENUINE and he CARES. Thanx Sam from us at Sandringham for the final time 😊

This is a genuine and heartfelt testimonial of the completion of my first house buying journey and what an absolute pleasure it was to work with Sam and his team. This is also coming from someone who has been highly skeptical of the industry until now. I have been on the house buying path for nearly 5 years and have met many agents who see you as a target to meet their business quota. However, this is far from the experience with this amazing team. The experience was approachable, informative, information and questions easily answered, with a smile and an ease. Nothing was a bother and supported with a gentle guiding hand, which meant no additional pressure but readily informed. Sam and his team offer a genuine personal touch, calls and texts to follow up at the ready, followed by written correspondence. Holistic transaction if you will, dealing with the person and the business. They did an excellent job of looking after both buyer and seller. Not an easy feat by any means. Sam’s genuine excitement for me on getting my first house was so touching and greatly appreciated. I always believe the testament of any business relationship is if you would employ them again, and I would in a heartbeat. The real estate business is speckled with lots of stories of the lesser sort; but people like Sam are the genuine deal and a shining light for the industry. Sam and his team are the extra mile, they're the people you want to drop in and share a cheese board with. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not employing them and the Ray White team.

Donna & Joseph

I recently sold my house in Auckland with the help of Sam and the team at Ray White. Sam did an amazing job at getting my house sold in a difficult selling market. The communication was fantastic and they also did a great job at helping me to find solutions to problems as they arose. There didn't seem to be a problem that he couldn't find a solution for. Sam was fantastic negotiating the best price at the time as well and finding and engaging potential buyers. I can recommend Sam if you want to get your house sold.

John McSpadden

I would just like to say that we really appreciated the service we got from Sam and his team. Sam organised an effective advertising strategy with no unnecessary expenses, and got far more interest in the property than we expected. He kept us informed throughout on what was happening, our rights and obligations. The auction went exceedingly well!

Barry & Jennifer Jones

We both want to thank Sam and the team at Ray White Takapuna for achieving the sale of our property. We were impressed with Sam's energy, his warm personality and the clear way he set out the details involved in selling a house. During the marketing process he consulted us regularly, keeping us well informed as to what was happening and giving us good feedback from those who attended the open homes.

Catherine Harris

It has been a pleasure to deal with Sam as he has worked so hard to sell my home. There were a few hiccups (of my making) along the way and he has dealt with these with humour and patience. I have greatly appreciated his advice and the support from the team with weekly updates in the office and the way in which their whole operation has worked with me and kept me informed. Thank you

Neil & Irene

No hype marketing; we felt it was all about us and our sale. We would also like to say this was the first time we had used Sam's services and were very impressed. No hype marketing and promotion that seems to us to always be about the agent and their next sale, we felt it was all about us and our sale.Definitely satisfied first time customers.

Nick & Trina

We were extremely happy with the service received from Sam and the wider team. At all times we were kept informed of where the sales process was at and what it meant in plain English. Sam and his team managed purchaser visits with minimum intrusion and gave us immediate feedback. This made our decision-making process very easy. To top it all off, we also got a great sales result. We have no hesitation recommending Sam and his team and would definitely use them again.

Gloria

My purchase experience with Sam stands out during my years of purchasing property. I have dealt with many agents and I believe great agents achieve results for both vendor and the buyer - Sam is one of them. He has tremendous knowledge and could detail local sales to make my decision easier. I don’t know how he finds the time in his very busy schedule but he is able to answer all my questions in a friendly, calm and respectful manner. There are people you deal with only once but Sam is the one we would happily invite into our home. We would recommend his service to anyone who wants to buy or sell.

Ian & Shirley

After 23 years in Devonport it was time for a change. It was going to take someone special to help us make that change. We found that, in Sam who had kept in touch with Ian while we carried out the final renovations. When it was time we invited Sam around to discuss our options. Straight away we knew we were on the same page as Sam met all our criteria and he was so professional and we instantly knew we had the right person. Sam is such a brilliant person to deal with open, friendly and honest. Sam identified the buyer early on and with his amazing negotiating skills brought everything together and we were thrilled with the result. We can now move on and have no hesitation in recommending the best real estate agent on the North Shore who we now consider a good friend.

Zhengqiang & Zhaolan

We found that Sam Hope has been very helpful during the purchase of our family home. He listened to our queries and concerns in relation to the house's condition and had actively provided assistance in all aspects. We found him professional and reliable, who ensured us and the vendor having effective communication. There was no delay in the communication. Sam accurately conveyed both parties' messages to each other and helped to find a solution that both parties are satisfied with. We found that our purchase experience was smooth and pleasant. We would not hesitate to recommend Sam Hope to anyone who wants to buy a property.
