Jackie's team were extremely helpful to me dealing with my sisters estate. I live in the North Island and therefore could not be there to organise the upkeep of the property while it was on the market. Jackie and Cat made sure that access was available for items to be removed from the property and lawns and gardens were maintained throughout the sale period. They even arranged the final clean before takeover by the new owner. They put in a considerable amount of extra effort which took a huge burden from me. Jackie's team certainly went the extra mile.

We were very happy with our dealings with Jackie and Cat. They were very responsive to all our queries both during and after our purchase. The property we purchased went to a multi offer and Jackie talked us through the process and kept us informed of progress. Nothing was ever a problem and Jackie was prompt to return my calls and made the buying experience a pleasure.

Jackie and Cat did an outstanding job. We are expecting our first child and wanted to sell our home before baby's arrival. Jackie and Cat ensured the entire process was professional and efficient, and did so amidst the added challenge of selling a home during the Christmas season. We are very pleased with the entire process and the end result. Our house is sold thanks to Team Jackie !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jackie's style was great. I don't wish to have a property 'hard sold' to me, I find that extremely off putting. Jackie was there to answer questions and was helpful in facilitating tradespeople for due diligence. She gave us the space we needed to absorb a property and feel whether it was a possibility for us. Going to multi offer as we did is not ideal for a buyer but Jackie kept us well informed while still holding professional standards to the process. We were the fortunate successful bidders and we are delighted with our property. We were held to a tight timeframe with settlement and going unconditional and Jackie supported us through that. All in all the Bayleys experience was a good one and there is no impediment to being repeat customers in the future. Except I'm never moving out of this wee gem. **Source: https://www.ratemyagent.co.nz/

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Having had Jackie help me purchase three rental properties over the last fourteen years, she was definitely the best person for me to sell one of those properties. I explained to her that I was after a quick sale at a reasonable market price, Jackie came up with the best marketing strategy for me & easily explained to me the process we needed to go through. With the advice of Bex's & Cat and their contacts in Blenheim I was able to bring the property up to a level where it was in the best condition to be listed. The property was listed 15/10 an offer was made on 08/11 settlement was made on 06/12; throughout this whole process I was out of the country constantly been updated on what was going and what was required from me in regard to signing off on the sale of the house. I'm definitely very happy with the result Jackie, Bex's & Cat were able to get for me, it was an absolute pleasure having these three ladies put my house on the market and sell it for me. **Source: https://www.ratemyagent.co.nz/

We had such a great purchase experience with Jackie and Cat from Team Herkt. From start to finish, they were professional, approachable, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. We missed out on a previous property with them, but what really stood out was how they continued to stay in touch and kept us front of mind. As soon as new homes came to market that suited what we were looking for, they reached out - even getting us through the door before the property was officially listed. Their communication was clear, the process felt straightforward, and they were always available to answer questions or offer honest advice. Their local knowledge and attention to detail gave us real confidence throughout the journey. Buying a home can be stressful, but Jackie and Cat made it an enjoyable and seamless experience. We're absolutely thrilled with our purchase and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Team Herkt to anyone looking for outstanding service.

Jackie was very good to deal with. Professional and friendly, everything was under control. We had regular updates of progress. There were no smoke and mirror dramas going on. We knew what was happening and when and why. All communications were affable and business-like. It was a team effort with her daughter Cat. They took us into their team and got us across the line with the minimum of fuss. This was a big improvement compared to a previous recent experience with another agent.

Jackie, Bex and Cat were great at getting a comprehensive marketing package together for our property. This combined with a plan to target out of region buyers was a great strategy that led to huge numbers of viewings, both online and in person. The Bayleys network certainly has a wide reach. We had a tough time selling in a down market, but the team kept pushing and got us a sale we were happy to accept.

Whether it was scheduling showings, negotiating offers, or explaining paperwork, She always made sure I felt supported and informed.

We were very happy with our dealings with Jackie and Cat. They were very responsive to all our queries both during and after our purchase. The property we purchased went to a multi offer and Jackie talked us through the process and kept us informed of progress. Nothing was ever a problem and Jackie was prompt to return my calls and made the buying experience a pleasure.

Jackie and Cat did an outstanding job. We are expecting our first child and wanted to sell our home before baby's arrival. Jackie and Cat ensured the entire process was professional and efficient, and did so amidst the added challenge of selling a home during the Christmas season. We are very pleased with the entire process and the end result. Our house is sold thanks to Team Jackie !

Jackie, Bex and Cat were great at getting a comprehensive marketing package together for our property. This combined with a plan to target out of region buyers was a great strategy that led to huge numbers of viewings, both online and in person. The Bayleys network certainly has a wide reach. We had a tough time selling in a down market, but the team kept pushing and got us a sale we were happy to accept.

A big thanks to Jackie and her team for the extra work she put in to achieve the sale for us, and also the help in vacating the property. It is not always easy to sell a property, when you are an out of town vendor, but Jackie went above and beyond to assist us.

Methods of sale

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.

Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.

  • Auctions are the most transparent sales process, putting all qualified purchasers together in one room, increasing competition to aid determination of fair market value
  • A sale under the auction hammer is cash unconditional, providing sellers with certainty to plan their next move
  • The deadline timeframe of the auction process creates urgency and a window for buyers to complete due diligence

Usually set over a specific four-or-five week timeframe, the tender process leverages the timeframe element to invite buyers to submit a formal offer. After this, you can negotiate the terms of the sale with your preferred purchaser.

Expressions of interest invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.

Properties offered for sale by negotiation leave value to be determined by the market. This is where the advice and experience of your qualified Bayleys salesperson can assist in determining where you see value for the property and are comfortable accepting an offer. Sales by negotiation are generally open-ended, with the absence of time pressure on both buyers and sellers.
