"I am compelled to write to you today to provide an unsolicited testimonial in recognition of the exemplary facilitation of our recent property sale by Ian Cunliffe. We have bought and sold several properties in Devonport over the last 17 years, and Ian has played a part in every single one, primarily because he spares no effort in getting the job done. The most recent sale was for our home at 143 Victoria Road, which Ian secured an offer for within seven days, and settled within one month of being listed.
What is noteworthy in this case is the fact that both my wife and I were not present in NZ for any part of the process and with tenants having only just vacated the semi furnished property, there was a great deal of work required with regard to moving the furniture and then prepping the home for sale , all of which Ian managed on our behalf, and in many cases completed himself by personally relocating some items, cleaning the pool and leaf blowing the gardens etc before the photo shoot and open homes.
A team was employed to carry out some painting and building repair work, additionally a home staging company was utilised to complement the existing furniture, all of which was suggested, directed, and overseen by Ian to make the home look perfect before going to market, and subsequently result in a great selling price for us..
In summary, we feel Ian has performed over and above expectation for us on every occasion and certainly in this case his efforts deserve recognition, I trust this message generates some praise for same. Ian carries a great deal of respect within the Devonport Community and is a credit to your team, and we will continue to both recommend, and support him, going forward."

"We are very happy to recommend Ian Cunliffe as someone we would trust without hesitation to look after any real estate requirements with expertise, energy, and unmatched commitment. Ian has a background as a lawyer and experience dealing with both residential and commercial transactions, something we found invaluable with the sale of our mixed-use property at 29-31 Church Street, which encompassed both a home and a separately leased business on the one title. Ian was the only agent who we felt truly had a grasp of the various aspects of the property, especially around the commercial options and implications regarding tax and GST. He also had a clear understanding of future development opportunities highlighted by a commissioned planning opinion, something that others appeared to struggle with.
Ian is a passionate Devonport and North Shore local, with long standing and very active community connections. He also has an invaluable network and knowledge of locally available support services should they be required.
We have found Ian to be excellent to deal with and someone who has a welldeserved reputation for always going “above and beyond”. We had already relocated overseas when our sale completed, and Ian was incredibly helpful and proactive in assisting us in ways we would neither expect nor ask. Having bought and sold several properties over many years through various agents, we would certainly rate Ian as one of the best real estate professionals we have dealt with."
