Working for you

I love living in Papamoa and have now been here for much of my working life. With honesty and integrity, I am a skilled facilitator and negotiator, skills honed in tough selling environments over a 30 year period. In addition, with 12 years in Real Estate I have accumulated an extensive list of testimonials demonstrating that time and again I am exceeding client expectations in both price achieved and service levels. I will not shirk my responsibilities to communicate regularly in both the written and verbal form and my choice of face-to-face meetings and phone conversations instead of hiding behind emails shows a willingness to make things happen for both buyer and seller. Doesn’t this make me the agent you are looking for?

When away from the office you may find me out on the golf course, doing a spot of kayak fishing or foraging for vinyl for my record collection. With two adult sons life for myself and wife Jenny, a Primary School teacher, remains hectic. Yes I love being busy and I welcome the chance to meet with you, so please call me to discuss your Real Estate needs.

• As I live in Auckland and the property I wanted to sell was in the Bay of Plenty I was a bit apprehensive about the logistics and how it would go. I met with Vince before listing my property with him. I instantly felt comfortable leaving everything up to him! I felt Vince had a genuine passion for selling properties and wasted no time getting mine on the market. We listed in December and by March I had more than one offer in writing.
  
  He was very empathetic towards my tenant and worked around their needs when arranging viewings.
  
  Vince is highly professional and a great communicator. He always returned my calls/texts/emails very quickly.
  
  I would highly recommend Vince to anyone selling their property.”
  
  Kind regards

• “My wife and I first met Vince at an open home he was conducting in Oriental Parade, Papamoa. We were both very impressed with his informative yet un-pressured approach. We were looking to buy and Vince did follow-up promptly however that particular property did not suit our needs. A short time later we had our property in Te Puke ready to go on the market. We called in two local Te Puke agents and we decided to ask Vince to prepare a marketing plan as well. We found his knowledge of the market and the strength of the Eves brand to be far and above what the others had to offer for our property. The result – three offers presented leading to a successful sale!”

• To whom it may concern:
  Professional with integrity, Vince gently led me through the sale of my home, helping me through decisions with pre Auction offers to a very successful sale. Always cheerful with a touch of humor, Vince's calm advice definitely smoothed the way for me. Gwen Williams

• Vince always let me know when new properties that may appeal were coming on the market. We did this over several years, so when it came to selling our Ascot Road home, we knew this perseverance and communication were attributes we sought in our agent. We highly recommend Vince

• We wanted to buy in the vicinity of Pacific Cove and Vince was the “go to man.” We knew he had sold a number of properties in the area and his wealth of knowledge of sale prices and potential listings in this neighbourhood guided us to a very satisfying purchase. I would not hesitate in referring Vince to any prospective buyers or sellers. Go Vinny.

• Vince is the ultimate professional! He is helpful and personable, so easy to deal with. He listens to the vendor and gives great advice. Vince was successful in selling our property in Palm Springs quickly and at a great price. He was very supportive through the stressful auction process which we hadn't done before. We would highly recommend Vince and wouldn't hesitate to use him when we next are either buying or selling. He is very patient and really cares about ensuring he helps to find you the right property or buyer. Thanks Vince!!

• We first met Vince at an open home around five years before we eventually came to selling our own home. While we had interacted with several other agents in this time, we were in no doubt we would call Vince when the time came. He had kept in touch and had always been a “sounding board’ in a manner that was never patronising but in fact quite the opposite - calming, knowledgeable and thoroughly professional. We were delighted with the results we achieved and since this time he has worked with our son to also purchase a home, He too, is totally rapt in the outcome. We recommend you call Vince if you want unsurpassed results, achieved with total care and dedication.

• We chose Vince to sell our home as he had sold several homes in our street. We knew the other owners rated Vince and his ability to get high selling prices. We were certainly over the moon with our selling price. It was achieved in record time and Vince kept us fully informed as to the Auction procedure from start to finish. I highly recommend Vince to anyone contemplating selling their home.

• We purchased our home last year with Vinces help. As first home byers we didn't know what to expect but Vince is very knowledgeable and experienced. He made the buying process very easy and smooth for us. Vince is professional, friendly and always available to help us with any queries we had. He made the process very easy and we highly recommend Vince if your looking to buy or sell your home.

• We listed our home with Vince 10 days before lockdown. As you can imagine things changed very quickly. Our new home we were building was almost completed and a successful sale of our current home was imperative. Vince from the beginning with his knowledge and expertise guided us through to a very successful outcome. I would like to thank him for this guidance, patience and constant communication through this time. I would not hesitate in referring Vince to any prospective buyers or sellers. Vince went the extra mile to achieve a fantastic result during trying times.

• I would use Vince again for many other reasons. Not only did Vince use strategies highlighting his understanding of the local real estate market to help us achieve what I truly believe to have been the best sale price possible, .. we found Vince to be an outstanding support system who could be relied upon to go above and beyond the usual job description in regards to helping us ensure that the house was presented in the best possible light not only during open homes and viewings; but also post contract in providing access to tradespeople and other required tasks so we could ensure the house was ship shape for the subsequent building inspection. I would be more than happy for any potential client of Vince's to call me so I can share with them the extensive help, expertise and support we received.

  Cherie Hammond, 28 Gibson Place, Papamoa

• We found Vince extremely knowledgeable about Papamoa and a true professional in his field. His negotiation skills are excellent, he knows the selling process inside an out and was able to explain each step to us clearly. We are very pleased that we listed with Vince and the Eves Real Estate team.

  Osmyn and Grainne Morgan 30 Dingadee Street, Welcome Bay

• Choosing Vince to market our home was the best decision we could have made. He really provided us with everything we had hoped for. We were on a very tight schedule to sell our home and Vince went above and beyond to make sure that everything happened as and when it needed to. He was very professional and he really took the time to get to know us as a family and understand what our needs were, he was there when we needed advice and you really felt as though you could approach him, he truly is a lovely person and actually cares about you! He achieved a fantastic price for our home and made the whole process so easy for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Vince and we will use him again ourselves in the future.

• We were on the verge of selling our house privately but due to both being busy with work and children we decided to list our house with Vince at EVES. We were a bit sceptical about selling via auction but decided to leave the method of selling our house up to Vince as we wanted the best outcome at the end of the day. Vince was amazing, he explained everything so clearly and was incredibly respectful to both of us and our home. We were able to have our home open at any point of the day which meant more people got to view our property. We had 38 groups through our home in total! The auction was a huge success with $60K above our reserve. Thank you so much Vince and EVES, we are very happy vendors.

• Vince is a straight shooter and tells you what you need to know with very realistic pricing estimates that are achievable in the market.

  Chris Hovelle

• We think Vince did a great job getting the seller over the line. The price we paid was a good result for the seller but she still needed plenty of persuasion to close the deal!

  Jeff and Brenda Hicks

• Dear Vince, I'm so glad I came to choose Eves Real Estate as my agent and therefore yourself to sell my house. You certainly did make it all so effortless on my behalf, you were always so approachable and helped me to understand every step of the way, always being very patient and kind. It was a pleasure to deal with you. Now that the final date is almost due I feel so relieved - your advice was excellent and led me to the right decision. So thank you Vince and I do wish you all the best. Kind regards, Dorothy.

• Having previously sold houses throughout New Zealand we were impressed with the professional integrity of Vince. His thoughtfulness, empathy and hard work enabled us to achieve a sale above what was considered well above the valued price, and all this in a very short time. Vince is, in our experience, the best real estate salesperson we have ever encountered and we would thoroughly recommend him.

  Gary and Nikki Harrison, Papamoa

• Vince listened to my instructions and met all my criteria in a very pleasant and professional manner, finding me the perfect home.

• His fair and professional approach, listening to what we had to say, with no pressure was very reassuring. We have no hesitation recommending Vince to facilitate the buy/sell of any future properties.
