Testimonials
- Thank you for sending us the house plans for Dale Rd, they will be very useful, and we truly appreciate the time you took to obtain them. Peter and I feel fortunate that we had two such professional and experienced people to deal with! We really enjoyed our dinner on Tuesday - thank you for the delightful gifts for Victoria and Harriet (they haven't presented their usual objections to wearing ponytails since!). We will enjoy the Lanson at a future date - perhaps when we move into Dale Rd at the time of our rebuild, we could have you over to share it?Peter and Justine Boot
- My wife and I wanted to get back in touch with you following our recent visit to your wonderful country in May of this year, we were over with the BBC filming an emigration programme called 'Wanted Down Under'? Anyway, Beth said to say hello and a belated thank you for all the help you both gave us (especially Janet :-)) when we were looking for properties in the West harbour/Hobsonville area. We loved the place so much, we stayed on for an extra 11 days after filming to get a better feel for the country?? We have been back about 6 or 7 weeks now, and I have been busy getting our own home ready to go on the UK market as I have now been offered a post within the NZ Corrections department and am hopeful of relocating early next year...or a wee bit sooner? Anyway, as I said, we were both really pleased to meet you both and, although we may be moving closer to Wellington, we both fell in love with Auckland and would never rule out a move up to that area once settled in the country. I hope and trust this email finds you both well, and thanks again for the valuable insight and time you gave my family. Best regards always. Billy, Beth, Paul and wee Lucas. Sunny Scotland...NOT UK.Billy and Beth Fitzpatrick and family, Scotland, United Kingdom – 2012
- We had the pleasure of working with Terry & Janet Jones on the sale of our home in West Harbour. They impressed us with their mutually high set of standards – great communication and negotiation skills and a strong knowledge of their field and local market. They were unfailingly professional, prompt, and positive, with great interpersonal skills. We could see that they took very good care of their buyers and had strong commitment to getting the job done in a way that minimised the stress for all concerned. They also achieved exactly the price we asked for. They were respectful – and never “pushy”. We would gladly work with them again and can highly recommend them both.Karen Ellis & Mark Huddart
- Terry and Janet have done an excellent job in selling our property. The best we have worked with. Very professional, and will highly recommend them to our networks, both in business and personal. Will definitely use their expertise when buying or selling real estate.Tui Martin
- Terry and Janet Jones have successfully marketed my property, and I am very happy with the way they assisted me in selling the above property. I will be recommending to all my friends and family… When I decided to sell my rental property in Auckland recently, I was living in Los Angeles, California, and feeling anxious due to a very slow rental market and increasing financial pressure… It wasn’t an ideal situation to be in!!! My immediate response was to track down the wonderful gentleman who had sold me this property 8 years earlier, Mr Terry Jones who had left a lasting and positive impression… not only did I manage to find Terry, but I was also fortunate to have the undeniable pleasure of working with his wonderful wife Janet… What a team!!!! I initially had to juggle management agents, administrative staff keys and arrange access for Terry and Janet prior to deciding to put my house on the market. All who had contact with them mentioned how lovely they were, they left a ‘feel good feeling’ with everyone they met, seldom do you find people who prompt unsolicited praise and that really meant a great deal to me. I have bought and sold properties throughout NZ over the last 20 years and Terry and Janet, in my opinion are by far the best in the business. They are honest, hardworking, realistic, respectful, caring, and genuine… worth their weight in gold! What could have been a very difficult and stressful time ended up being an amazing and positive journey which I always felt we made together as a team. Thank you both for going to extraordinary lengths to achieve a fantastic result! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'm so relieved!Sarah Owen (USA). ex 11d Clear Water Cove
- We wanted to write and thank you for the excellent job you did marketing our home recently. We were very pleased with what you did for us and certainly were pleased with the outcome! This is the third time we have marketed a home in Auckland, but the first time we felt that our agent(s) have really worked for us to get the best possible outcome. First of all, we were grateful for the practical advice you gave us on how best to present our home for marketing. The suggestions you made, we believe, helped make our home more attractive and achieve a higher purchase price. Next, we were grateful for your guidance in advertising. We never felt that you were trying to sell us unnecessary advertising. However, you did help us to understand the importance of professional and strategic advertising. We also appreciated your extra efforts to keep us informed as to what was happening, and progress being made. We were pleased with your regular e-mails, phone calls, visits, and weekly updates. We knew we were up to date on what was happening, and we were very pleased with that. Finally, we want to thank you for the way you conducted yourselves in such a professional manner, not only with us, but with contacts and potential buyers as well. Selling a house is a stressful undertaking anytime. You were professional, but also demonstrated understanding with what we were experiencing. Thank you! So, we just want to thank you for all your hard work on our behalf! We are not planning to sell again in the near future, but when we do, we’ll be contacting you!Charlie and Bo Frink, 13 Kerlin Crescent.
- We are pleased to have selected Terry and Janet to market our house. They were very professional and considerate of us during the campaign. Their professional approach and honest hard work resulted in good competition at auction that delivered a positive outcome.Liselle and Pelenato
- We highly recommend Terry and Janet when selling a property. We faced unexpected legal hurdles when about to sell our property, and Terry and Janet went far above and beyond what could be expected of a real estate agent, to help us resolve the issues. This was greatly appreciated, particularly since we were overseas vendors. They have a wealth of knowledge and fought hard to achieve a fantastic result for us.Kym Cummins
- Honesty & integrity was prevalent with all our conversations during the entire process. Communication advising the state of marketing progress was very good. I would recommend Terry & Janet to anyone looking to purchase or sell property.David Butler
- Terry and Janet Jones have successfully marketed our home. Yet again a friendly and professional marketing campaign. Always a pleasure to deal with. We would happily recommend Terry and Janet to anybody buying or selling a property.Tina & Colin Bartlett, Harbour Lights Close
- From the initial consultation we felt in good hands. Your advice and support and hard work during a short campaign was amazing and you both used your skills to achieve an outstanding result. We have recommended you to our neighbours and friends and know they will get the same drive and professionalism that we were lucky enough to get. Thank you from both of us for allowing us to sell our home with you.Lynette Butler
- We were impressed with the way they dealt with everything involved with selling the property. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they dealt very well with the negotiations with the buyer of the property to achieve a good result for us.Mate & Nell Milich
- Thank you for your involvement in the school picnic evening on the Tuesday 8th February and your contribution of over $1,000 in donations, prizes and sales over the night. We are very appreciative of your help organizing the colouring competition, running the spinning wheel and the prizes which, you donated to students. It was a very successful evening and wouldn’t have been such a wonderful evening without the support of businesses like yourselves and others.Anne Leitch, Principal Hobsonville Primary School – December 2015
- Terry and Janet were our consultants on the sale of our property which was part commercial and part residential. This added complication never appeared to be a concern to them and their marketing, negotiation and sales process were all carried out with complete professionalism.Bruce & Jillian Waldock
- We would like to take this opportunity to thank Team Terry Jones, of Wallace and Stratton for the amazing and professional assistance in selling our home. From the first meeting with Terry and Janet, we were both extremely confident we had the right people on board. We had met Terry years ago and were confident that with his knowledge of the industry we were in good hands. Team Jones provided us with the most fantastic video and photos with all credit going to Luke and Amy from LP Imaging. Terry and Janet were both so energetic and enthusiastic we knew they would get a good result but were blown away by it only taking 20 days to sell. They both did a fantastic job on open home days, being very busy with the amount of people through. After only 2 weeks marketing we were presented with an offer, which we accepted and the Auction brought forward, which achieved a 23% figure over the CV. Feedback from several neighbours who attended the open homes, said our agents were outstanding and were very complimentary of them both. We have no hesitation in recommending Team Terry Jones, and Wallace and Stratton Real Estate, the principal of which attended the Auction adding a more personal and friendly feel to the day.Rod and Margaret Coleman
- Terry was everything an agent could be. Friendly, responsive, and great to deal with. Prompt with any requests or meetings, made this experience a very pleasant one. As a buyer, I couldn’t ask for better service.Hayden Young and Kathy Jiang
- Thank you both very much for the excellent service you gave. From the start when you pre-arranged meetings for us when we came to NZ and helped us over that weekend, we were very impressed. There were certainly some challenges along the way, which you dealt with professionally, and as a result we got a good outcome.Carolyn & Rob James
- We would like to say a big thank you for all your help on my parent’s property at 100 Hobsonville Road, Auckland. Thank you again.Lily & Tui
- Selling a home can be very stressful in the best of circumstances. Marketing a home for sale right before the general election and not knowing what changes a new government could introduce takes it up a notch. Terry and Janet Jones’s professional and expert advice on marketing our home took these worries away. They produced a great marketing plan, ran an excellent advertising and open home programme and Terry’s long experience as a builder in the local area helped buyers understand quality of the house and its “subdividing” potential. We were kept well informed by Terry and Janet through the whole process, with oral feedback and written reports each week. They were there with us right through the auction and provided us with excellent advice which resulted in the sale of our home. We could not be more satisfied with the outcome.John and Lesley D’Rose, West Harbour
- We must commend you for the effort you put in helping us with our purchase, especially being within such a tight time frame. We found both of you a pleasure to deal with. We look forward to dealing with you in the future should the opportunity arise.J & P Wise, Auckland
- Terry and Janet were very caring during the campaign. This property had to be sold on behalf of the trustees. They successfully marketed the property, and the sale was completed on time, a good result.D Taylor (Trustee)
- We would like to thank Terry and Janet for their help in finding our new home. During our time of finding the right house we dealt with a number of Real Estate agents in the area and found Terry and Janet by far the best to deal with and will highly recommend to any friends.Tipene Family
- Terry and Janet, over the last nine months spent a lot of time assisting us in finding a new house. I expect that they were beginning to think of us as tyre kickers, however they were always extremely helpful. At the end, through skilled negotiation, they managed to secure a deal that suited all parties. I would recommend Terry and Janet to our friends and relatives.D & D Hopkinson
- Terry and Janet were quick to help from our first phone call, racing across town to meet us and open up the property outside of open home hours. They are warm people and communicate openly and clearly. Terry always answers his phone and I like the way he handled me and spoke with respect about the elderly vendor and her family. We are very excited to move into our first home together and Terry and Janet made it a lovely experience. Thank you!Sarah Harrison
- Terry and Janet worked very hard and long hours to achieve a sale for us in very trying times. We found they were very professional and gave us confidence from the very first meeting, always being available for contact. Communication has been excellent, and they always responded promptly to any queries. We noted the open homes they conducted were at least an hour long and at times they were here longer. Thank you Terry and JanetRon and Delwyn Smith
- Over the past 5 years I have engaged Terry and Janet in the selling and buying of several properties, including the beautiful house that we are currently living in with its fabulous panoramic views over the harbour and marina and Sky-tower. In all my interactions with Terry and Janet, I have always been impressed with their professionalism and their wealth of experience and marketing skills that they bring to a job well-done. On numerous occasions, Terry has gone beyond the call of duty. He helped take rubbish left by vacating tenants to the tip, organised garage sales, water blasted concrete paths, and the list goes on. Once, in the last house that I was selling, Terry planted out the vege garden with young seedlings to make the garden look less bare. Prior to a sale I snuck back and transferred some of the plants over to our own vege garden at home. The silver beet and beans were YUM! Thank you, Terry and JanetLa Ming
- We wish to express our admiration and grateful thanks for the very professional service provided to us by Janet & Terry Jones in selling our house in West Harbour. Janet & Terry showed dogged determination to achieve the very best possible result for us. Whilst we were very keen to move on, they recommended we reject offers that were below what we believed our property was worth, and they persevered with many open homes until they got us a truly acceptable price. We have no hesitation in recommending their services to any prospective vendor – we could not have asked for more competent and diligent agents.Julie and Kingsley Light
