What our Clients say

Testimonials

"Dear Adam, We would like to put on record our satisfaction with the sale of our home at 7A Peter Terrace, Castor Bay, North Shore City. We have been very impressed with your pleasant manner, your common sense approach, your integrity, and the comparative speed with which you achieved a sale. Also the price obtained was within the range of the valuation which had been independently obtained by us from a Registered Valuer. We originally chose Iron Bridge to sell our property because your company (unlike the great majority of Real Estate Agents) follows the ethical principles set out by Neil Jenman in his book "Don't Sign Anything". You do not charge extra for advertising, you do not hold "open homes", you do not use auctions or tendering but always quote a price. Also you provide a "Home Sellers Protection Guarantee" which quotes a minimum price which you undertake to achieve. During the sale period the house was shown to prospective purchasers mainly by you, but also by your colleague Paul Foster. Both of you have always been very pleasant and easy to deal with, and both of you inspired confidence in us that you knew what you were doing and were good at what you do. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who is contemplating selling their home, or section or investment property. Yours sincerely J & A Wydenbach".


"Dear Adam, The experience of dealing with you is very pleasant. You are an intelligent person with great persistence. As I told you always, it is owing to your great endeavour that we finally owned our first home. We have no doubt to recommend you to all of our friends who have plans to buy property. We wish you all the best on your work. Best regards K Chai".


"Kai ora Jacob, I just wanted to say how much I appreciated all you have done for us to sell our house. It has been very easy for us to work with you and a great pleasure to know you. In case I don't see you again all the very best from us. Heoi ano Fiona."


"Adam, I just wanted to put on record my appreciation for the way Iron Bridge handled the management of my investment property over a number of years, and for the professional and efficient approach you took to the sale of the property recently. Throughout our professional relationship I had total confidence and peace of mind in the knowledge that my interests were being served at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend you and the team at Iron Bridge to anyone wanting a reputable firm of professional property managers. Many thanks and best regards. J Bentley."


"Hi Adam, It is wonderful to have it sold, thank you so much for all you have done. I shall certainly be telling Sharon how helpful you have been and thanking her for recommending you...... and will recommend you to anyone else I know who needs an agent. It is lovely to know the new family are excited about having the house. I do hope they have a long and happy time there. Many thanks again and all very best wishes, Margaret".


"Dear Paul, Thank you so much for what has been a fast and wonderfully stress-free sale. I am happy to have chosen you and Iron Bridge to sell my home. Your relaxed style, integrity and the planned processes you employed worked perfectly to get my ideal result. Your service exceeded all expectations and to achieve a price well over what I had originally expected was wonderful - all achieved in less than a week which was amazing, especially in a difficult market. Your follow up, courtesy and advice throughout the whole process was truly appreciated. I would recommend you and Iron Bridge to anyone considering selling their home! Thanks and I hope to see you down in Nelson one day. Amelia Campbell".


" I must say Iron Bridge has made this an almost stress-free process, and that is high praise indeed. Adam was very professional and accommodating in meeting everyone's needs and kept us up-dated, especially since the buyers were overseas at the time and there were friends involved all giving opinions. The change-over was smoothly managed and we are all very happy with the outcome". Theng Gan, Albany.


"Pauline and I would like to congratulate and thank the team at Iron Bridge for all their hard work in selling our home so efficiently and stress-free. The service we received was very impressive and well above our expectations. Iron Bridge do a lot of work behind the scenes, building up to our house going onto the market and we saw evidence of this as we were presented with an offer on the day the sign was put up.  The final price negotiated by Iron Bridge was $17,200 above what we expected to get for the house. We would not hesitate in recommending any agent from Iron Bridge as unlike other company's, although we are appointed one point of contact, everyone at Iron Bridge works together as a team to get us the best result. Regards Raymond & Pauline"


"We feel very happy working with Iron Bridge in getting our purchase completed. Adam is very responsive and efficient by closing the deal within 10 days, knowing time is of the essence to us as we were overseas buyers. Most impressive is his organised approach in solving, comprehensively and timely, an unexpected last minute twist. We have full confidence in Adam and the team, and are happy to have our property managed by Iron Bridge too. Thank you Adam, Penny & Gary"


"Thanks to Sue and Brent for your enthusiastic and efficient management of the sale of our home.  You listened to our wishes but also gave us a realistic notion of market expectations, we appreciated your honesty and integrity; a reflection of the work ethic within your company.  An extra big thank you to Sue, she was wonderful to deal with and dealt with any queries and concerns we had promptly and efficiently. Her positive and cheerful manner was a breath of fresh air in this industry.  Thank you Iron Bridge we would certainly recommend your service to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home.  Yours sincerely K & B O'Connor."


"We have appreciated the efficiency and cheerful obliging manner with which Iron Bridge have always dealt with our queries over the last 8-9 years. Latterly, with the sale of the house we have been impressed with your communication and keeping us in the loop. The fact that it has all gone so smoothly is due in no small part to you, Adam, and we would recommend Iron Bridge to anyone venturing into the rental property market. D & R Machell."


 "To Whom it May Concern, Jeremy sold my house in a timely and professional manner. I was most impressed by his regular and informative updates which really added value to the end results. I would recommend his services to anyone who needs a responsible and friendly agent who is focused on results with integrity. My property was being rented and he worked closely with the tenants so that all parties were happy - owner, tenant and purchaser.  And if possible I look forward to working with Jeremy on future property transaction. Regards M Sollis."

 


" To Whom it May Concern: We have sold two of our homes recently through Brent and the team at Iron Bridge Real Estate.  We have been particularly impressed with Brent's open and honest manner which has enabled us to quickly get a "handle" on the true market value of our property, resulting in a successful sale each time. Yours sincerely, K Browne."


"Adam, many thanks for arranging the sale of my property. Please convey my appreciation to your entire team.  Cheers, Prahlad."


"Adam took on a difficult sale in a difficult market and saw it through, acting above and beyond the call of duty to make it work. His approach mixes integrity and commitment backed by common sense, L Stevens."


"Hi Adam, Just a brief thank you for all your assistance in achieving settlement in this matter. I certainly appreciated the extra effort and time you spent, both prior to and after settlement, to ensure a smooth transition for all parties concerned. Kind Regards, R Barrar - McVeagh Fleming Lawyers."


"Adam was very professional and responsive to all of my questions as well as being helpful in terms of the purchasing of the property and the steps required in the whole process. Thank you". Ms Colman.


"Dear Sue, This is just a quick note to thank you very much for your help last week in assisting us by finding a property for us to rent in Burwood. You have gone out of your way to provide this assistance and your standard of service (for want of a better word) is second to none! It is much appreciated. We have been really happy in the Coolspring Way house, but being back over in Burwood is going to make life so much easier for us as a whole - for access to our place of work, family time etc. Once again - THANK YOU! Best Regards L & H Maguire


"Dear Jacob, I appreciate your professional, courteous approach and your prompt appraisal and follow-ups. Many thanks. Kind regards H Dodge."


"I am very happy to report on the service we received from Sue Wallis during our search for rental accommodation.  Sue's approach satisfied our rental needs with a very high degree of professionalism. She provided a number of options and, in each case, took the time to describe the relevant qualities of each home and where it did and didn't meet our exact requirements.  She was always helpful and courteous and when a property failed to provide what we were looking for the simply moved forward in an effort to find one that did.  I would certainly use Sue's services again should the need arise. Yours sincerely P John."


"Jeremy Toms of Iron Bridge Real Estate Takapuna office has just completed the sale of our property in the Milford region. The transaction was conducted within sixteen days. We are very impressed, and would like to say thank you to Jeremy for his attentive and expert services provided. Confidently we can recommend Jeremy and Iron Bridge to other home buyers and sellers. Yours truly L & K Shum".


"I just wanted to say thank you for all the time and effort you all put in, and for Jeremy making the first contact with us and being persistent even if I didn't always get back to him. He understood our situation with us having just had our baby and he was so patient when I needed him to be which was good. We found Iron Bridge a breath of fresh air after our past experiences with real estate people in general. It was nice to have a different approach and the focus more on us and not on agents personal marketing. If anyone we know in Auckland ever needs a real estate company to deal with we will definitely be sending them your way. Thanks again for all your help. Take care. Cathy"


"Hi David, We wish to place on record your help through the process of finding a property, building and finally tenanting the completed estate. It is with your expert knowledge of the Christchurch area and support for us in the various aspects of the build that have allowed us to complete the project to our satisfaction. Your attention to detail has meant the development has been to a high standard that in turn makes the property much more attractive to tenant. In fact this was amply demonstrated on tenants signing up on the same day the contract with the builder was settled. It would be remiss of us not to mention Adam who has been very helpful from our end in making all this work. It is the fact that you both have been contactable at any time to discuss any issues that make our life easy" M & R Warin.


"Hi Brent. Sue and I just wanted to say a big thank you.  You got our house sold in a falling market at a great price which enabled us to make the move into our new home.  The price was negotiated upwards by $17,000 from the first offer with your help. The property was sold without us having to put up with 'open homes' and without us spending any money for advertising. Top job! Many thanks again, D MacKenzie."


"Thank you Nick for your excellent services and professionalism.  We greatly appreciate that and will pass the word on.  So I assume you will be putting a 'LET' or 'LEASED' sticker over the sign outside the house. That could also serve as an advertisement for your speedy and professional conduct of business. Thank you, C & S."


Dear Brent, I am writing to inform you of the very positive experience I received from Iron Bridge, when looking for a rental property at the beginning of last month.  After owning my own home of approximately thirty years, looking at rental properties and dealing with property managers was a new and at times quite daunting. I only had two weeks from the time of sale of my property and handover date to find a home for myself, my eighty year old mother and my daughter. I originally dealt with, a real estate company,(not disclosed herein) who sold my home and another Property Management company (not disclosed herein). I found both these companies to be lacking in customer service. They both send us to properties that were entirely wrong for us, and seemed unconcerned about the fact that we would be homeless in what came down to five days!  We found Iron Bridge and Sue Wallis one week before handover; Sue took us to see the property we are now renting on her day off on a Sunday. She then did all the paperwork on the Monday, also her day off. We are so impressed with Sue and with the extra miles she put into seeing that we ended up in exactly the property we needed.  I feel Sue is definitely a huge asset to your company, and would highly recommend your company if all of your staff are as dedicated to such a high level of service. Thanks a lot, yours sincerely M Leonard.

 

"I am very delighted with my experience with Iron Bridge over the last 6 years. Your company is honestly the best I have found in my experience in real estate. I am a trustful person and I genuinely take face value of what is said. This approach has made me very successful in my career and this is what I find in you, Creseda and Iron Bridge. The rental process is so seamless in all regards:- leasing, rental income and the statements are the best I have seen.  Even after moving to Australia there is hardly any issues and it is hard to believe that we could have a property in New Zealand without spending a minute on its management. Great service and thank you. Your personal effort to meet my deadline for the sale and professional management of the whole process is outstanding.  I really thank you personally and your team". Mr C Kumble.

 


"Jacob, Fantastic job selling the land.  We have been celebrating! Thank you very, very much!!!"


Hi Sue,  Thank you for your email.  Great news with the tenancy and fantastic that the house has come up so well.  Thank you for your help.  Regards Anthony T.


“Compared with any other full time letting agent I have met, Sue is a “STAR” (Judith Mathews - Chch)


"David, Just a note to say how thrilled I am with my dealings with Iron Bridge. Three years ago I purchased the investment property from my daughter Jackie who had it built new two years prior through you.  She tells me it was not vacant for even one day during those two years. Similarly, I have had it for almost three years and not one day without tenants, not one problem along the way. Always received my rent deposited into my bank account around the 1st of every month.  It came time for me to sell it as I am living in the US with no immediate plans to return and we are purchasing a home in Utah at the end of the month.  You advised me the likely selling range we agreed to start $5,000 higher and it sold for only $2,000 below the top of your range.  You even went to Aussie for a week but it virtually sold on the Monday you returned home, only one week after it going on the market.  I know you had a buyer on your books so that expedited matters. To sell a house from thousands of miles away can be a pain in the neck, not so, you have gotten back to me every time I have emailed you, we have signed and scanned documents and emailed them without delay, now it has confirmed and settles soon.  A job very well done and the simplest sale I have ever had.  Thanks again, Regards ,C Ryan."

 


Thank you for all your help over the past few years with the management and subsequent sale of this property. It was a pleasure doing business with you and your team" A.Bedford


"Just to say thank you very much for everything over the past how many years now with my lease at Glencalder.  It always appeared to be hassle free and a lovely home to live in.  So thanks again for the service provided and all the queries, concerns etc you've helped me with, it has all been very much appreciated.  Kindest regards Glynis"


"I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you. Originally I was concerned when I learnt of my tenants breaking their 6 month fixed term lease.  However I was delighted to learn that you had very quickly found replacement tenants at $20 per week more rent and for a longer 12 month fixed term.  My Bank manager will be happy! Thank you for your fast, efficient and effective help! Kind Regards Sarah J"


" Hi Adam, Thanks for making the sale of our property a simple and efficient process! Literally just a few telephone conversations and the sale of our investment property was done.  And the sale price you achieved was above expectation...all-in-all a great experience. No doubt we'll touch base again in the future.  Regards, D Cunningham."
