It’s normal to be nervous when selling your home – this is probably your biggest asset after all. So it is essential that you know the process is being handled properly, and in a manner that gives you the best possible chance to sell your home at the best possible price.
Let us guide you through the process from start to finish, and reassure you that with Joanne and Eugene you are in expert hands.
About Eugene
The only time you have a real estate agent involved in your life, is when you have a significant change of circumstances in the pipeline. I soak up your motivation for moving, then form a professional plan to help you achieve the desired goal.
I know when we get together, I’m going to help you. I’m going to make sure you’re in a position to make the right decisions around selling your home or not selling your home, buying a home or not buying a home. That’s what I know.
With a proud reputation built on honesty and open communication with my clients, I bring a refreshing blend of energy and knowledge with an easy sense of humour to present a logical and effective solution to your property needs.
A highly accomplished negotiator with thousands of closed deals to my name, I offer that critical combination of success, tenacity and pro-activity. A true Auckland-wide agent, I have utilised Barfoot & Thompson’s non restricted system by introducing buyers and listing properties from as far as Pukekohe to Coatesville, Massey to Pakuranga, Kingsland to Ellerslie.
Having lived in Ellerslie for over 15 years, my knowledge of this suburb is exceptional. I specialise in this area and am a proud sponsor of the Ellerslie School, where my wife Fiona teaches and both our girls attended.
There are plenty of salespeople out there, but very few with my selling skills, passion and experience.
About Joanne
Born and raised in Auckland, I know what this great city and the surrounding areas have to offer.
Buying my first home with my husband at 21 years of age, I quickly learned the importance of home-ownership and the financial gains that can be made. Selling and buying a property can be a life-changing event. I am now living in my third home, moving up the property ladder each time, and I have also invested in rental properties. From experience I understand and relate to sellers and buyer’s needs, no matter what stage they are at.
I have a knack for building strong, long-lasting relationships and thoroughly enjoy helping my clients find the right fit.
If you are ready to move on to your next change of life event, I can help you with all your real estate needs.
It’s simple, confidential with no obligation and best of all its free. Deal direct with Joanne and Eugene, having peace of mind your personal information is safe.
Owning a home is a keystone of wealth… both financial affluence and emotional security.
