From the first day Dirk walked into our house I knew we would go with him, Dirk talked us through the process, he was extremely passionate about our house the houae we loved. The biggest thing was communication, we had a whatsapp group, after ever open home, we were informed of potential buyers, what they loved etc. I would absolutely recommend Dirk to others. Dirk will definitely sell our next house

Graeme and Bernadette

Amazing from start to finish! Would highly recommend.

Mark

He knows the Tauranga market, and he shared it with us.

Peet & Estelle

Dirk is an excellent communicator and kept in touch throughout the process of selling. He has solid knowledge of the market and has great networks.

The Mortland Family

We felt confident working with Dirk during our house sale. His market knowledge was sound and relevant to our price range and he provided sound advice to aid us in getting a sale. Great communication and always available to answer any questions. We are more than happy with the support we received and of course a quick sale of our property.

Janet & Joseph

After missing out on one property Dirk was proactive in providing us with different options and found the property we ended up purchasing at auction. He understood what we were looking for and was mindful that we needed to travel from outside of the area and accommodated viewings outside of open home times. He never rushed us and was very professional in his approach dealing with multiple family members.

Michele

I enjoyed working with Dirk. He was friendly and accommodating. He looked to tailor the approach based on my needs and understood my constraints and wants. The process was clear and we got a good result in the sale.

Very friendly and accommodating

Dirk was professional and the process was easy and hassle free. Everything you want when purchasing a house. Every question was answered and each meeting was met with ease. Thank you Dirk!

Jo

Dirk recently helped my husband, and I sell our home. There were a few disappointments along the way, but he always remained positive and ultimately helped us achieve our goal. He is very personable, knowledgeable, a good communicator, and very honest, a trait that is hard to come by these days. We would highly recommend Dirk in handling any real estate transaction.

Jan & Gordy

Dirk gave us great insight about what would help our older house sell. Even in a slower market, we were able to get a fair price and settle on a sale. Dirk was a very active partner in the process.

Ross

We recently completed a property purchase and had the absolute pleasure of working with Dirk Merwe. From start to finish, he was fantastic—helpful, kind, and incredibly easy to deal with. What really stood out was his perfect balance of communication: always available and responsive without ever being pushy or overbearing. He brought a great energy to the process—enthusiastic, practical, and proactive. His approach made the whole experience feel smooth and positive, and I genuinely believe his professionalism and people skills helped secure a great outcome for both parties. Highly recommend Dirk Merwe anyone buying or selling. You're in excellent hands!

He was always helpful, honest, authentic and trustworthy with all the help and advice he gave me to reach the right price enabling my home to be sold. Dirk also managed to be warm and open leaving me happy with this whole process and feeling like he was my friend. Now he will help me to find and purchase my next home.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dirk to sell my apartment , and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to deal with. Dirk made the entire process smooth and stress-free, handling everything with great efficiency and care. Thanks to his expertise, my home sold quickly and at a great price. I truly appreciated the clear communication and support throughout the entire journey.

Presale, Dirk shared some great advice on what we could do to get the property ready for the sale. He shared ideas we wouldn't have thought of otherwise. He kept us updated and informed throughout, so we always knew what was happening. We appreciated the weekly marketing reports, and the market feedback. He was always available to us and followed through on what he said he would do.

Jo & Cory

Dirk Merwe is a master negotiator! Their deep understanding of the real estate market helped us get our house on right price while keeping the seller happy. I highly recommend them to any prospective buyers.

Manjit

We were absentee home owners living overseas while we sold our house in Mount Maunganui. This required Dirk to work with us in understanding our needs, timelines and desired outcomes. He was always on time, transparent and honest with us. He even went above and beyond his duties which was much appreciated, including making sure the garden was looked after, or our mail was sorted. It's these little details that count in a big way. It all ended with a fantastic result at auction. Too bad we could only give him a virtual hug from overseas. We highly recommend Dirk and his team.

Osamu & Ryoko

Dirk was honest with the house and guided us appropriately. We appreciated him accommodating with our viewing requests and questions. Great first home buying experience.

Fa & Naomi

Dirk navigates us through the entire process of selling our home. He was easy to get along with and made a very stressful time, extremely stress free. The house sold at Auction and the price was spot on with what Dirk gave us within the appraisal!! Dirk is top notch guy and we would recommend him to anyone who wants to sell their property.

Leon & Mignon

Selling our home with Dirk was a seamless and enjoyable experience. His in-depth understanding of the market gave us confidence in his appraisal, and we know we achieved the best possible price at auction. Dirk’s communication was excellent, keeping us fully informed with detailed updates after every open home and weekly reports. His professionalism, integrity, and flexibility made the process stress-free, while his approachable manner kept things light and enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dirk to anyone looking to sell.

Mike

After having numerous appraisals on an apartment and not feeling comfortable with the prices given, (Also not having a fond opinion of real estate agents either) Dirk found me. He was already selling one in the block, gave me a call and after a discussion and viewing of the apartment he had the listing. He's Different! Because he listens to the seller, refreshingly honest, is completely on your side, good communication, a good network of people working with him, if I was selling again in The Mount I would use him easily.

Zoe & Alan

Dirk displayed excellent communication and knowledge whilst guiding us through the house buying process. Thank you.

Megan & Zane

We knew Dirk was the right agent to work with after he did a great job selling our house to us three years ago. He was driven and hard working for the buyer while remaining personable. We felt like we were friends after buying a house through Dirk. Dirk did a great job selling the house for us, always understanding and never pushy. He took special care to work with us and the photographer to get the photos just right and put a lot of effort into the weekly reports, following up prospects and assessing next steps. He knew our area well and had his finger on the pulse with the market.

Jenny & Jono

Our experience selling with Dirk has been great. He was spot on with his valuation of our house. He acted with professionalism and integrity throughout. His communication was outstanding and he was flexible with meetings and viewings. We would highly recommend.

Max & Lara

Though I had known Dirk for many years before working with him, I was not prepared for the back ground work he did on our behalf. He helped us find a great stager to set our home and have it looking amazing, and he was a massive workhorse in terms of communicating / feedback of all the potential buyers to help us set up everything in the best way. Dirks super friendly, yet honest and straight-talking approach had us at the leading edge of the selling process the whole time. I wouldn't hesitate in choosing him again if we sold / bought a property.

Scott & Stef

Dirk was happy to help with any questions we had and was always pleasant to deal with.

Stacey

Absolutely Fabulous He guided us smooth & effic. throughout the whole process to achieve good result. Dirk is a great Agent & absolutely trustworthy & super knowledgeable.

Mike & Emma

We bought a property marketed by Dirk, he is friendly knowledgeable and a great communicator.

Tony & Rachel

We had a great experience with Dirk. We felt Dirk was excellent at doing what he said he was going to do, following up and offering support where needed. He wasn’t overbearing, but stepped in where necessary. Our house sale wasn’t the smoothest due to a number of factors and Dirk handled it with a calm can do attitude and we appreciate that. Thanks Dirk!

Anna & Ryan

Dirk was friendly and approachable, and showed real interest in helping to ensure the property was a good fit for what we were looking for. He was accommodating around viewings and aligning with third parties for inspections. And had good communication throughout the sales process.

Karla

I am writing to express my satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Dirk, his consistent and focused approach in selling my property has been truly commendable.

We would not hesitate to recommend Dirk to any person wanting to sell a property.

Dirk knows and understands the market very well. His appraisal was fair, and we believe he got us the best price possible on the day. Dirk’s comms throughout the campaign were great, and we felt across all the relevant detail. Great weekly reports! As out of town vendors, we appreciated Dirk and his team going above and beyond to help get the property ready- staging, meeting contractors on site etc. Would happily recommend Dirk and his team, and given the opportunity, would use him again to market a property.

Simone

Dirk was brilliant to deal with, he made selling the property easy and stress-free. The price achieved exceeded expectations which we thought was brilliant considering the state of the market. I would definitely use Dirk again.

I highly recommend Dirk for anyone looking to sell their home!

Jacob & Kylie

Dirk has been absolutely amazing through the searching and buying process. I was buying on my own and being a first-time buyer it was a massive learning curve for me. Dirk was great with the no bullshit advice and gave me the confidence to buy at auction. Highly recommend Dirk if you are buying or selling!

Millie

Dirk has exceptional communicating skills. Updating you all the way through the process of selling your home. Very professional sales agent, he certainly knows his business, also Dirk actually listens to you and your requirements. We felt so at ease with Dirk and put all our trust in him. And yes Dirk certainly came through for us. If you are looking for a top agent to take all the stress out of selling your home. Dirk is your man.

Dean & Maree

A certain Tina said... 'simply the best'. Well, I guess we can say the same thing for the experience we've had with Dirk as we were looking for our first home to buy.
As I was new the process of buying a house, Dirk was in contact with me every step of the way : prompt, proactive and super-efficient communication. No mucking around, just what you need to know when you need it.
Dirk was super patient as well. I was picky, super inquisitive, and while Dirk put no pressure on us where we were hesitant, he was also able to tell us when this was our time to make a bold move
Plenty of resources & connections, Dirk gave me advice on lawyer, trades, insurance brokers...etc.
Basically everything you need in one single agent... I would highly recommend Dirk and his brilliant services.

Our Family found Dirk a pleasure to deal with. We found the process with him professional and informative and he was readily available when needed without any forced pressure.
We wouldn’t hesitate in referring his services to others and will no doubt work with him in the future.

Stephen & Charmaine

I knew Dirk prior to marketing my property. I was impressed then with his professionalism and friendliness, so it was easy to nominate him to take my property to market. Dirk has very good market knowledge, communicating and listening skills. He is very hard working and presents professionally. Dirk was punctual to all appointments and was honest in all our dealings. His market analysis and reports were timely, and I was kept up to date with open home attendances and inspection interests. At no time was I under any pressure and Dirk worked around my commitments when arranging property visits etc. I felt I was in charge/control of the sale. I picked the best Eves agent who successfully brought my house to market.

I want to thank Dirk for the successful marketing and sale of my Mt Maunganui property. Dirk has exceptional local knowledge. His understanding of local market dynamics coupled with creative marketing techniques helped generate the interest required to get the sale. Dirk and his team have excellent communication skills and provided on a regular basis up to date market information for my evaluation. In light of the great service Dirk provided I have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and colleagues who may require the services of a highly skilled agent.

Graeme

We want to thank you Dirk for the fantastic work you've done for us. A huge thank you for going the extra mile, from checking if the beds were all made up, to meeting the new cleaner to help her with keys. We are extremely glad that you were recommended to us and have no hesitation in paying forward and recommending you to anyone else who is thinking of buying or selling in the Mount Manganui/Tauranga area. Once again, thank you Dirk for everything.

James & Gaye

We had been searching for the right property for over 13 months, needless to say we were very particular buyers. During this time Dirk never failed to disappoint our continuous requests to view a property, answer our calls and provide honest feedback regarding the market. Dirk worked hard for us and cannot thank him enough for his time, effort & professionalism and would not hesitate to recommend or work with him again in future.

James & Sarah

Dirk was very professional and patient in what became quite a difficult and protracted negotiation.
There is no doubt that this sale would not have happened without his input and timely attention to contractual requirements.

Ian

Dirk is amazing! His market knowledge, communication and professionalism were all outstanding.

Dirk has excellent communication. He led us through the selling process carefully and explained all the parts to selling a home at the Mount. He has excellent knowledge of the housing market in the area.

Fraser & Lesley

It's always a journey with ups and downs when looking for a new home. Dirk supported us in this journey as our buyer agent. He took the time to find out what we needed in a new home. He also had a good grasp of the market and availability of homes. He was professional in both offering good advice and also giving us space to look. We never felt pressure from him to buy and yet he was spot on when we needed it. I would recommend Dirk wholeheartedly

Osamu & Ryoku

Thanks to dirk and his team for the sale of our house, you kept us informed every step of the way and worked hard for us.

We definitely recommend dirk and his team 100% thank you very much.

Barry & Trish

Dirk was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Didn't attend auction but got in contact immediately & kept us informed. Took us through the whole process of multiple bids & came out with the sale. Dirk was very professional & had good empathy & could only highly recommend his professionalism & knowledge

Judith & Grant

As landowners for 49 years, we are first time sellers of our current property. We have found Dirk an honest and reliable person. As we are quite technically challenged, we have admired Dirk's patience, knowledge and general understanding of real estate which has been a huge help in the process for us, he explains things in plain English. We would not hesitate in recommending Dirk to represent anyone in the buying/selling process.

Ray & Liz

Dirk was great to work with. He is very professional and has a lot of knowledge and experience as an agent. He is clear and prompt with his communication and kept us well informed during the process of selling our house. We felt Dirk put in 100% effort to achieve the best possible result for us and can highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent to sell their home.

Dylan & Katie

We highly recommend Dirk as an RE Agent. He is extremely professional and warm friendly and proactive. He actually appears to really care for his vendor/buyer not just as a business asset. Best agent we have ever dealt with

Charles & Yvonne

Dirk ticks the boxes for me. Capable, Professional, Friendly and Efficient. This was my second sale with Dirk and I would recommend him to others.

Caroline

A big thanks to Dirk for the relaxed manner in which I first met him at the open home, I later purchased at auction. The whole process was honest, on the table stuff which made every area of planning and negotiating that much easier. Also big thanks to Bronwyn and Sam for being a great unit.

Wayne

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.
