Testimonials

---

"Having lived in Mt Eden for 30 years, I wanted a Mt Eden specialist to sell our much loved family home. I have got to know Colleen from looking at houses and helping friends buy in Mt Eden over the last 25 years and I trust her advice and knowledge of the market. Colleen understood the special features of our home immediately and she knew who it would appeal to. She gave me honest and realistic advice from the start. Colleen put together an extremely impressive and effective marketing campaign; I was blown away by the quality of the photography and marketing materials she organized which were produced by the team at Unlimited Potential. Colleen understands people and acts with integrity . She and Richard make a great team. I found Richard very personable and together they did a superb job of the viewings, keeping me updated at all times with honest feedback and always treated me with a great deal of consideration and respect which I really appreciated. Colleen and Richard calmly and capably guided me through the final stages of negotiation, supporting me at all times to achieve the best possible outcome . In a challenging market Colleen and Richard achieved an unconditional sale of our home after only 14 days. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Colleen and Richard and I could not have been happier with the end result."

"Colleen and Richard complement each other with the service they provide. They were highly experienced, thoroughly professional and very personable. Feedback after open homes and private viewings was always done in a timely manner. We would not hesitate in recommending them and would certainly use them again."

"We dealt with Colleen from UP Realty when both unsuccessfully purchasing a house, as the vendors agent and successfully selling one, as our agent. On both occasions Colleen illustrated nothing other than the utmost integrity, professionalism and market insight. Had it not been for our skepticism of Real Estate agents she would not only have exceeded our expectations in selling our house she would have exceeded them with the purchasing of one. The current poor perception of the Realty industry would be all but removed should the approach of Colleen and UP Realty be more widely adopted.""

"I have recently had Richard and Colleen market and sell my Remuera home. I found them incredibly professional and efficient to deal with and they achieved an excellent result with a 3 week Auction Campaign. I have no hesitation in recommending their services."

Jonathan Edwards

"We asked Colleen if she could sell out home of 17 years with minimal fuss, advertising or disruption to our busy lives. She achieved exactly that – in a week our house was sold for a price that met our expectations. Colleen knows the market, the local area and understands the people side as well as the business side of negotiation. She provides realistic advice and her years of experience and knowledge of real estate show in her results. We highly recommend Colleen if you are thinking of selling – or buying."

Ruth Bilj and Colin Brown

"We used Colleen and Richard to sell our Mt Eden Villa. At every stage of the process they were positive, friendly and respectful. An absoloute delight to deal with. They made the process stress-free and achieved a fantastic result for us."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Colleen and Paul on the sale of our first home. We very much appreciated their approachable attitude, in-depth market experience and availability at all times - it made the process as simple a possible. Nothing was too much trouble and every request was actioned immediately. Our video and photography looked fantastic and we were very pleased with how and where our home was marketed. Throughout the sales process we were kept fully informed of our options in terms of selling, the campaign's progress, potential buyers and the results of our open homes. Upon auction day the UP team were informative, relaxed and professional at all times, giving us confidence to see the sale through to an unconditional result. We would definitely work with Colleen and Paul again and would not hesitate to recommend them, along with the UP team, to others."

"Colleen Strachan and Richard Hart, of Unlimited Potential, made what is a fairly stressful time as stress free as possible. They were professional, honest and calm!. Colleen and Richard work well together, and when selling our house treated us with respect, and had the experience which made leaving the house in their hands easier. Colleens knowledge of the Mt Eden area also contributed greatly, and they both made themselves freely available to us throughout the process."

"If you are looking for the best real estate specialist in the area, Colleen Strachan stands head and shoulders above all others. Having bought and sold with Colleen (plus recommended her on countless occasions), Colleen has delivered outstanding results for us as a family and to the friends who have used her in selling their homes. The reasons I hold her up as the preeminent real estate specialist in the area are: Colleen builds strong relationships with both buyers and sellers of properties enabling her clients to sell to the right people for a very good price. Other agents are known as being good for buying or good for selling; Colleen does both to an exceptionally high standard and very consistently. Colleen has uncompromising integrity. Her reputation is built upon doing the right thing for everyone in the property buying and selling process. Unlike many others, she treats people with pragmatic reliability, honesty and charm. Seemingly nothing dents her good humour even in the face of difficult or complex negotiations. Colleen knows her stuff - with over 12 years in the area, she understands the Mt Eden/Epsom market intimately down to which streets are best value, where the sun might be on particular houses and what alterations might work best. Her service is not simply to sell your home or direct you to a good option, she goes way beyond these simplicities to offer a complete real estate service to her clients. Colleen is well placed to sell at the mid to high end of the market with ease. Selling or buying a house can be a very stressful situation. Colleen makes the process fair, enjoyable and cleverly directed. I would unreservedly recommend Colleen Strachan and Unlimited Potential to anyone wanting to buy or sell in the Mt Eden/Epsom area."
