Dirk Merwe and Eves real estate were recommended to me by our lawyer in Mt. Maunganui who has a high level of trust and experience in the Mount and knows the area well.

Dirk was very easy to contact and work with and he and his staff showed a high level of enthusiasm to get the property sold. The property was marketed through all the normal channels along with open homes and private visits. Visit reports were received each week and Dirk made a number of good suggestions to help tidy the place ready for sale.
Even though Auckland & the Waikato were in level 3 lock down, the auction was successful and achieved the expected valuation range (at the lower end). The auction finished below reserve, but Dirk & Trevor managed to negotiate another 25K from the purchaser.

Overall, a good outcome. Dirk and his team made the whole process very easy, and I'd be happy to employ them again.

After asking Dirk to come and appraise the property I was selling, it was an absolute no-brainer for me to list the property with him. The whole process was really easy and so much less stressful than I expected - and a lot of that was due to the down-to-earth approach Dirk has, and how much he kept me up to date with what was happening. We got a great result at auction, and then I asked him to help me find a new place to live.
Being on the other end of the process was totally different and much more stressful, but Dirk was an awesome wingman, sending me suggestions of properties to see each week, organising viewings so we could avoid the crowds at open homes and really get a good feel for what was out there, and coaching me through the auction process as a buyer. Turns out I love a good auction and having a side-kick really gave me the ability to bid confidently, know my numbers and not get carried away. He really took the time to listen, ask lots of questions and understand what was important for me in a new home, challenged some of my assumptions, and this week I got the keys to my new home!
I would totally recommend Dirk as an amazing agent to work with whether you are buying or selling, and when the time comes to move on (hopefully many years away) will certainly be calling on him again.

We first met Dirk at the open home for the property we purchased. He was super knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful - something we found most agents lacked (and we dealt with a lot of agents). As first home buyers in a competitive market, Dirk helped us and definitely made the experience more enjoyable with his friendliness and humor! Dirk is the only agent we will use in the future when we come to buy/sell again. It was a pleasure dealing with him :)

Stephanie & Stuart

Dirk made selling our house a breeze. The marketing was on point they displayed our house beautifully.
Dirk is very knowledgeable and listening to him was the best thing we could have done. Thanks again Dirk 😀

Abby & Paul

Dirk is honest and reliable and has a great sense of humour. He knows the market well and is very real about what you may expect to get for selling your home in the current market.

Sheryl & Rob

You went above and beyond what we would have expected from an agent, in order to ensure that things happened quickly for us, as well as making the whole process as stress free as buying a house can be! Again, thank you, we have no hesitation in recommending your services to friends in the future.

Richard and Wendy

Thank you for the effort you put in to selling our property. The sale price more than exceeded our expectations and we believe this was a direct reflection of all your hard work and enthusiasm. We also appreciated the follow up after open homes and regular communication along the way. We cannot recommend you strongly enough, you were a pleasure to deal with and we thoroughly enjoyed selling our property with you.

As a first time home seller, I was really sceptical about the process, so much so, that I even considered selling privately… what was I thinking?! These guys are down to earth, professional and true to their 'refreshingly different' marketing. They took care of the WHOLE process and 100% convinced me they had MY best interests in mind when it mattered.

Debbie

First we must day thank you to Dirk for installing Trust in us to market and complete the sale of our Links Avenue Home. The level of detail provided by understanding our needs, clear communication with superior market knowledge provide an outstanding professional service. Within a week of listing we achieved multiple offers and our home was sold prior to the first scheduled open home. We would not hesitate to recommend Dirk to any potential seller that requires a professional and superior service that achieves an outstanding sale result.

Matthew & Cindy Hands

We have recently bought a property through Eves Realty with Dirk Merwe as our agent and would highly recommend him to anyone who is in the process of, or thinking about buying a property. He is friendly and competent. Advice given was valuable and informative. Appointments were always kept with time to spare and he was around when needed.
Thank you Dirk. It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Pete and Erika de Graaf

We just wanted to write to say thank you for the outstanding service that you recently provided us. When we were given notice on our rented property we really didn't think there was any chance of us being able to find a property within the 6 week notice period, so to have keys to our own home just 3 weeks later was beyond our dreams. You went above and beyond what we would have expected from an agent, in order to ensure that things happened quickly for us, as well as making the whole process as stress free as buying a house can be!

Again, thank you, and rest assured that we will have no hesitation in recommending your services to friends in the future - not something we would have expected to say about a Real Estate Agent!!!

Richard and Wendy

We cannot recommend you strongly enough, you were a pleasure to deal with and we thoroughly enjoyed selling our property with you.

Andrea Brown

Dirk Merwe listed and successfully sold our property at 121b Oceanview Road. Throughout the entire process he was open & transparent and ensured we were up to date on the property market and the auction process. We were informed on the day of Open Homes of the interest generated and this was followed up with a written report soon after. We considered this aspect of the service we received to be excellent. We appreciated the support and advice supplied by Dirk throughout our sale process and would readily recommend him to others.

Will and Tracey Wilson

Thank you for the effort you put in to selling our Mount Maunganui property. The sale price more than exceeded our expectations and we believe this was a direct reflection of all your hard work and enthusiasm. We also appreciated the follow up after open homes and regular communication along the way.

We cannot recommend you strongly enough, you were a pleasure to deal with and we thoroughly enjoyed selling our property with you.

Andrea Brown

Dirk is both diligent and professional, but it is his honesty and integrity that really impressed me. Through all of my time with Dirk I had 100% certainty that I was dealing with an truly honest, transparent, and ethical person. This gave me great confidence in all the information and advice Dirk provided me , that not only helped me find the best property for me, but also made the whole process enjoyable.
