Last October we sold our property. We were fortunate enough to have Connie Stewart as our agent, our experience was absolutely amazing She was so polite, caring and very approachable, plus her advice was spot on so hence she sold our property in a short time which was really pleasing. We would strongly recommend Connie to anyone thinking of marketing their property. Many thanks Connie, you were a pleasure to work with.
– INDIA Last year Connie acted as our agent for the sale of our lifestyle block on the recommendation of other clients for whom Connie achieved great results. We were very happy with the sale process and the outcome she achieved for us. Recently we purchased a property marketed by Connie. It has been a pleasure to work with Connie as both buyers and sellers. Connie is highly skilled, personable, totally professional and dedicated to obtaining great outcomes for her clients. – NICK & WENDY We were impressed by Connie’s determination, her constant focus on the vendor’s interests, and her efficient management of the sale process. Thanks for getting us to the completion of the sale.
WHAT
– JUAN & GABI
We had two young boys Connie was happy to work around them, and at times the mess. I was away on the day of the photographs and she organised everything and made sure we had amazing shots to market our property. Her recommendations on method of sale and advertising proved to work very well.We had fantastic levels of enquiry and Connie secured an offer after 2 days on the market. Because of the effective marketing and enquiry, Connie was able to inform the buyer of the other interest and future marketing of the property and got a very good offer from them. Connie also managed to get another $5K out of the purchaser when I believe many agents would have been happy to present the initial offer. She worked hard on our behalf in all aspects of the campaign. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent to sell their property. She is motivated, hard working and gets results.

My husband and I used Connie to sell our house in College Street, Masterton. We sold a house in Auckland 5 years earlier and our experience with Connie was far superior to our previous experience .
– BRIAN & ANNE MY clients are saying
Connie Stewart sold my house in Masterton and we were very pleased with the sale price she achieved. We chose Connie because we felt we would get a more customised service than with other real estate franchise in the Wairarapa. Connie devised a detailed marketing strategy and supported us throughout the whole process until the sale was finalised. We would highly recommend Connie as an agent who has an extensive knowledge of the local market and does her absolute best for her clients. Thanks Connie! Muchas gracias.
– STEPHANIE We think we could write a book on our experience with our first agent, eight months of anguish, but we want to put that behind us. Instead we would like to take time to write a note for others who haven’t listed their property with Connie, because you should! It only took Connie a week to come to us with an offer, in fact we had several offers and within the following week had sold our beautiful vineyard, home and cottage. What a breath of fresh air to have Connie. Her positive attitude, attention to detail and professionalism is outstanding. This combination was a welcoming contrast to what we had to deal with previously. We were impressed with Connie’s approach to selling, through focusing on a small selection of properties at any time meant committing the time necessary to qualify and attract buyers to our property. She was also diligent and caring during the negotiation process, keeping us informed throughout. When you need to buy or sell your property use the best, set the benchmark for others to reach. We highly recommend her to any vendors, she is a pleasure to deal with.our initial choice to engage her. When we next require a real estate professional, we now know where to go. CHRIS & ATHOL

“When we decided to put our lifestyle property on the market, we chose Connie Stewart due to her recent successful sale of a similar neighbouring property. We were constantly impressed by Connie’s professionalism and performance. She presented herself immaculately, clearly advised us of the sales options and maintained constant feedback updates. Her focus and enthusiasm impressed throughout the whole sale process and at a personal level was a delight to be associated with. We have brought and sold several properties over the last few years and feel qualified to state that Connie excelled over the others and confirmed our initial choice to engage her. When we next require a real estate professional, we now know where to go. – PETER I am so happy with Connie’s successful efforts in selling my unique and unusual property. It has been on (and off) the market since 2017, and in the hands of two other agencies. When New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty (NZSIR) cold-called me earlier this year it was the right time to put it back on the market, and the right agency to get the property over the line. I found their approach to be effective at building personal relationships with me and prospective purchasers. Their advice throughout the sales process has been spot on and kept me calm and positive. They embodied the NZSIR agent qualities of integrity, honesty, determination and ability. I can highly recommend the Masterton branch for meeting that in spades, with a genuine smile and warmth throughout. It was such a change from previous agencies that it was like chalk and cheese - no comparison and all for the better..
