Excellent
Very clear and concise, would recommend Warrick he's been the best agent we have dealt with.
Warrick has been an outstanding agent. He has been very easy to deal with and has been great at communicating where the house sat in the market and what potential buyers where thinking. He stayed committed to getting the house sold in a very soft market and I believe we realised the right money for the property in this market.
Looked after us all throughout our sale/purchase, was always helpful and willing to answer (and explained really well) all our questions. Warm friendly professional manner, great communication.
Down to earth, plain speaking salesperson with sound advice.
Warrick was clear and direct. He was responsive with his communication and gave sound advice. Working with Warrick didn't feel stressful and I would use his services again.
Warrick always kept us informed of everything that was happening
Received good advice throughout the process and was kept well informed.
Warrick was very communicative, helpful and kind in all his dealings with me! Very supportive of me in my first home purchase and no question or query was a problem at any time of the day. Thank you Warrick!
Helped us with the setup for the sale with suggestions for an auction.Clients arrived within a week. Had suggestions as to cancelling of auction and reasons. Good follow up
Always on time, to the point and actively working to achieve our goals. Well mannered and very helpful. A please to work with Warrick
great communication, with us every step of the way, everything when very smooth.
Found Warrick to be a good listener and very understanding of what I wanted for my property, and guided me well. A great help, and very professional.
Always on time and all communications were very well handled. Could not have had a better agent. He was very clear on all important details on our whole journey, ending up with even more than we expected both in communications and the final auction result - Wow!
Very professional and easy to work with, keeping us informed all the way.
Warrick was attentive and helpful from our first enquiry regarding the likelihood of selling our property. Our tenant was reluctant to vacate and Warrick offered relevant and helpful support to help us make decisions. He refrained from creating urgency and waited until we got back to him months later. He has been helpful every step of the way and made suggestions around staging and marketing that proved very valuable. He was more than prepared to put the work in and went out of his way to make sure all parties were looked after, even going out to buy light bulbs and arranging dump runs with no resolve. Even though we live in Hamilton we have friends in Whangarei that we would highly recommend to market their property through Warrick. Well done and a big thank you for a good outcome for us.
Good communication from Warrick before and after the sale.
Very professional, kept us updated with progress on sale of property
Our experience with Warrick was really positive and enjoyable. Right from the initial open home to signing the agreement, Warrick communicated with us regularly and followed up on all our questions. Warrick has a relaxed but professional manner that makes him easy to work with. We would highly recommend Warrick to anyone looking for a reliable and professional estate agent.
Warrick made himself easily available to us for queries and information when required and went over and above in helping us out with our purchase, and move. Great service!
Warrick kept us informed every step of the way. Very professional and organised. We were super happy with him.
Warrick was very professional and went beyond the call of duty to help sell our home. It was a pleasure to work with him and we would highly recommend him. Thank you very much Warrick.
Thank you Warrick, from the start you set out to make the sale and purchase for us happen, worked even when you were on holiday to get it across the line. Great experience.
Warrick was awesome to work with . He did a great job in all aspects of the sale and purchase , would definitely recommend him, it was a great experience and we are very happy with our new home. Thanks Warrick and the Ray White Team.
Warrick was excellent to deal with, made the process very easy.
Warrick was the consummate professional. He made everything easy and was effective in all his working with us. We felt at ease knowing that he always communicated with us having our best interest at heart. Warrick was always honest, professional and treated our house as if it were his own. I would like to thank Warrick for all his work and I would not hesitate to recommend Warrick to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying a home.
Unfortunately, I went through a life changing situation at the time of the sale of my property. My primary contact has been Warrick. He has been very professional with giving me regular feedback (which I so appreciated) and caring at the same time. I personally am very glad, that I made the right choice by having him selling my home, when I needed to. I will refer him to anyone, who is looking for the "right" agent with the "right" positive attitude. Alongside his professionalism he is also an amazing human being. Thanks so much Warrick!
It was easy to work with Warrick, he is always available to communicate, his advice were great and I trusted him to have both our and the vendor's best interest at heart.
We appreciated Warrick's calm approach and levelheadedness. He comes across as very trustworthy.
Warrick was extremely professional from listing my property through to marketing and open homes and was always positive at a difficult time to sell. At this time where we've gone unconditional and he should have already received commission we are still communicating regularly making sure everything will be in order for settlement date. I highly recommend Warrick to anybody selling or purchasing as in my opinion he goes the extra mile to make a sale and purchase happen. Great job Warrick.
Selling our Dad's home was a surprisingly quick and stress free exercise with Warrick as our Agent. His vast experience, excellent communication skills and outstanding performance record made it a no-brainier when it came to choosing the right person for the job. Warrick involved us in every stage of the process; he listened, gave advice and calmly took control with efficiency and confidence. His assistance with the staging of the property and wicked sense of humor helped relieve any associated tension with selling a home. He provided verbal and written feedback after every viewing and open home. The property sold pre-auction exactly four weeks from listing. I would highly recommend Warrick as an agent who prides himself with "Getting the job done".
Warrick was extremely professional, an excellent communicator, listened to our requirements and then delivered in a suprisingly quick time. Warrick did his research so thoroughly and greatly impressed us. Thank you Warrick of a job well done, we are very happy customers.
Warrick is a fantastic agent to deal with, he kept us informed every step of the way, he made our sale and purchase of our new home totally stress free. He was always on hand to answer any questions we had. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top real estate agent.
Warrick gave me the information I needed about the Property quickly and efficiently as I was not in Whangarei.
It was swift and relatively painless. As I was an out of area vendor, Warrick facilitated a number of solutions for me, which as one can appreciate was an immense help, and he kept me informed at each step throughout the marketing and auction process. He has good communications, a neat sense of humour, and obvious integrity to his clients.
Warrick's communication about the selling of our property was exceptional. He is easy to talk to, understanding, accommodating, and fun to work with. We always felt he was truly working for our best interests and never doubted his word or advice. We feel like he and Kelly made the perfect team in helping us sell.
This was our first time selling, so was all new to us. Warrick knew what we wanted and fought hard to get the best result for us. He gave us good advice to help get a quick sale and took the time to get to know us.
Warrick was great to work with on the sale of my property. He kept me informed on how the sale was progressing and along with Kelly made the sale experience of the family home of over 40 years a little easy. Thanks to both you and Kelly
Warrick was professional, approachable, friendly and committed. He communicated clearly and I was always kept up to date with progress.
Warrick was very helpful especially because I hadn’t bought a house before - a farm, an apartment off plan, but not been in a sell/buy situation. So I asked lots of questions and probably made lots of mistakes!
Very helpful and made everything so easy. Very approachable and friendly, nothing was a problem.
Warrick has been the most attentive and informative real estate agent I have known. We felt part of the process the whole journey and never felt like we were left out or left behind. That man never stops 24/7.
Warrick is genuine and friendly. We felt like he was very honest and supportive in his engagement with us, and felt like he was really advocating for our needs. He was proactive and helpful, and provided us with extra details as we required them including onsite measurements for our insurance company, and organizing house inspections for us to suit our time schedule as we were travelling from out of the region. He’s very solution focused and positive which helped to inspire confidence in as as customers in an industry we don’t have much experience in. We feel really lucky to have met Warrick and to have had him advocate for and represent us while we were trying to find a new home in Whangerei.
Warrick went above and beyond for us, he knew the buyer and made sure we got the best price possible. We were so impressed at his dedication (on a long weekend!) driving back and forth between houses to close the deal and meet both parties needs all in the space of an hour or so. We would highly recommend Warrick.
Warrick spent a lot of time making sure we were at ease and fully informed at all times. He made a stressful experience easier with his kind professional approach.
Warrick was exceptional right from the start making the entire process stress free and enjoyable. He was able to give us the right advice and maker intel that enabled us to sell at the perfect moment and move into our next home seamlessly. Has been a pleasure to get to know Warrick and work together
Warrick was very easy to work with. He always had clear communication, and worked really hard to get us a great result for our sale.
Warrick teamed up with Kelly and together they were a great team
Buying a house through Warrick was great. He was professional and helpful. I bought in a tricky market and needed to move fast and he was very accommodating with return viewings during level 3 restrictions. Great to deal with the whole way through.
Very trustworthy.
