Amy is the best real estate agent we have ever meet, from our first meeting she demonstrated warmth, kindness and an accurate knowledge of pricing in our area, giving us the confidence to list our home with her. Amy has been absolutely amazing in all aspects of our campaign to sell our house, she would immediately respond to our questions and worries giving us honest feedback and solutions. Our house sold within 3 weeks enabling us to purchase our rural forever home with the assistance of Amy, negotiating on our behalf. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone wanting a positive experience and a go getter professional who will go the extra mile for you. Thanks Amy

"Amy was incredibly professional, understanding and patient with us. She knew this was our first investment property and was diligent in her search for us. She knew our budget and never pushed to go outside of this ... she is incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable about the Tauranga market (which was a real guiding strength for us novices) and it was a pleasure to have her in our corner! We'll be using her again I'm sure ... Thank you, Amy!"

"We had been looking for a specific type of property for a while and we’re getting disheartened. Amy made it her priority to let us know about great properties early in their release which saw us secure our dream home."

"We met Amy through an open home viewing. She was attentive, but not pushy. We liked her energy. We then started our search for the property at The Mount remotely while being locked down in Auckland - scary not to be there for a life choice of such significant size. Amy did virtual viewings online for us, using video - she walked through houses we’d chosen to view - poking and prodding things we asked her to, spotting and pointing out things we didn’t see, and answering our questions either at the time or in a quick follow up once she’d got the detail. We felt so confident with Amy that we trusted her to bid for us at auction, buying a property that I had never set physical feet in! Amy is great at her job. Authentic and helpful, she builds trust and good relationships. We wouldn’t hesitate to engage Amy again, although now we have bought (with her guidance and help) it may be a fair few years before we will sell"

"Decided we should buy a house at the Mount so I popped into Eves and spoke to Amy. She went and showed us a house straight away and over the next few weeks was really prompt and helpful advising us of all upcoming listings etc. The first house that we liked we grabbed at the auction with Amy's assistance. Superb service. A ++"

"Amy has been fantastic, guiding us through buying our first property in this crazy market. Not only did she help us navigate the intensely inflated market prices, but she also came up with a killer strategy to secure a fabulous property that I would have considered miles out of reach.
So thank you Amy for answering all my daft questions and using your knowledge and experience to find us such an amazing property so wonderfully fast. "

“Amy was recommended to us as we embarked on a search for a property at The Mount. We contacted her in November and talked through what we were looking for and over the next 2 months she sent through various listings that she thought would be suitable. When 80B Valley Road came on the market, we just knew this was the one and are very happy to say that we are now the owners of this beautiful property.
Throughout the whole process, Amy was very professional, easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble and she answered any questions we had to the best of her ability or referred us to the pertinent website/contact. She helped us through the auction process, making sure we were fully informed and she was also with us on the day to support us.
If you are thinking of buying or selling a property in The Mount/Papamoa area I would highly recommend that you contact Amy at Eve’s Mount Maunganui
Amy, we look forward to seeing your beautiful smile when we get together for a celebratory drink when we complete on our property in a few weeks’ time."
