Our property was recently listed and sold, by Kaye & Stewart McElwain. We were extremely happy with the service provided, from start to finish. We would highly recommend them. Thank you to you both, for making the whole process, under your guidance, a little easier in what can become a very stressful time.
My husband and I made the right decision to use Kaye & Stewart to market our property to sell. They first did an accurate full appraisal of the market value of this property, fully explained clearly & concisely their marketing strategy & costs. They paid attention to every detail in the contract offered & went through each clause with us, once again clearly & concisely explaining it to us in a manner we understood. Any questions we posed were always answered respectfully. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience without being stressed or anxious. Their professionalism and pleasant manner is second to none.
Stewart was friendly & professional. He listened, suggested options & provided valuable feedback & updates at least weekly. Stewart & Kaye crossed tall he T’s & dotted the I’s with legal documentation & contracts. Their phone manner was pleasant & explanations easy to understand in layman’s terms. Response times were always quick, to the point & efficient. We would recommend S & K without hesitation. Thank you for a great experience

I met Kaye and Stewart at house I was looking at and from there thought how helpful they were even though I was more interested in house up the road. When I was selling my place kaye and Stewart also Bayleys gave me same sort of number but when mangawhai real estate came in saying they could do better stupidly I went with them but after 6 months I finished with them took Kaye and Stewart on straight away and was sold in a week sooo professional and actually feel like family now. They have been so helpful in every way I really trust them they feel like family. Have recommended them to all I know. They are great people in every way. Tracy Gillon
