Tony is your typical easy going, easy to talk to kiwi. He made Matt and I feel super at ease, and could be very honest with all our thoughts. Tony is very professional and explained all the different ways to sell our house, which he felt was best for us, what we were signing and why, always keeping us in the loop with anyone who was interested etc etc. Tony & Paula were awesome to deal with. I would definitely choose them again if I ever have to buy or sell again

We used Tony firstly back in 2016 when we were originally looking in Whangamata. He used his time efficiently with us as he had researched a number of properties to look at and drove us around. He was great to bounce ideas off and has a great intellectual knowledge of property and business. So to use Tony again made sense as there is always great communication. He returns our calls to him promptly to any query we may have and he has a great partnership with his wife, who is a great backup when he is unavailable.
Very comparative and managed team. They helped me in every single think. Love ❤️ this team. I have bought and sold from them.

Tony is very easy to deal with , makes the process of buying a Bach easy & no stress. Highly recommend team Lucas.
I feel that Tony made a real effort to get prospective buyers to view our property, and to explain its great features to them. He scores very highly in my books as a person who makes every effort to do the best he can for his client.
I have dealt with quite a few agents in the past and was very impressed with Tony. He kept me updated, he checked in on me regularly to see if I was still keen, he helped by getting the LIM directly, he came and checked on me twice after moving in.
He was responsive, proactive, and very clear with what he could and couldn’t tell us ethically - and his communication throughout was exemplary
Tony always puts his clients first. He dots his i,s and crosses his t,s
Tony and Paula Lucas achieved a great result for us selling our bach, within our timeline we set. Paula even added final finishing touches to the bach for us making it appeal to a wider range of potential buyers. We live a good couple of hours away from Whangamata so it was a relief to know that each weekend Paula and Tony were running open homes and creating a buzz around the campaign on our behalf. My entire family count Tony and Paula as friends and my parents have (more than once) called Tony to shut the gate to their Whangamata bach. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you. R & R King
