"Highly recommended. Selling a property in a falling market is not for the faint hearted. Thankfully we had Team Cleave on our side! The expertise, experience and energy of Myles, Peter and Lisa was fantastic. We got great advice on how to prepare our house for sale, an excellent marketing campaign that saw our listing outperform the market, and a dedicated team that ultimately delivered the result on auction day.

"I recently sold my house with Peter, Lisa & Myles Cleave. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and quick to communicate at every stage. They worked seamlessly as a team with Lisa in the open home/marketing phase, Myles bringing potential buyers through, and Peter driving the negotiation phase. They made the whole process as stress free as possible in what could have been a very stressful pre-Christmas time. I appreciated their care and thorough, organised approach. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other vendors. Excellent job and result – thank you to the Cleaves! Victoria 11 Woodside Cres"

"After making the decision to sell the next most important decision is the appointment of the agent. What was key to us was identifying an agent that could demonstrate superior results in our local beachside market, but with a broader track record across nearby suburbs of Remuera, Epsom and Parnell. We wanted an agent that recognises value and their thinking is not be constrained by the price achieved in the last “local” sale. This is especially important when dealing with higher priced and more unique properties, as the buyer can come from anywhere. The other important feature we discovered was the strength in having the 3 family members on the team. Peter, with his deep experience, Lisa-super efficient, organised and made my partner really comfortable having a women’s perspective, and Myles, who can connect to the younger buyer- in fact all buyers with his high EQ and empathy. Needless to say we picked the right agents; the assistance in helping to prepare the house, the professionalism and the result they achieved. Many thanks; Lisa and Andrew"

"Lisa, Peter and Myles Cleave each bring their own professional expertise to the team that is Team Cleave. We have known Peter and Lisa for many years, as they had sold a home for us previously, so we had no hesitation in selecting them a second time. We appreciated the respect they showed us in believing in our property and felt at all times they were acting in our best interest, being honest and open, yet professional regarding potential purchasers. We were impressed by the professionalism within the UP office too, where we were able to be fully engaged in choosing photos for the marketing material. We opted for Sale by Negotiation with this particular property , so without open homes, they brought interested parties through the house for viewing by appointment. This meant they were alongside each prospective purchaser for every viewing. Lisa and Peter made suggestions as to staging options to enhance the home without over dressing it. They gave constructive feedback after each viewing. Their team skills meant either one or two of their team were prepared to be on hand to open up the home which was viewed many times during the week as well as the weekends. We recommend Lisa, Peter and Myles Cleave as agents because of their open honesty, professionalism, communication skills, and ability to effect a sale. Aside from that they are genuinely caring people. Property sold in August 2021 2 Karori Crescent, Orakei"

"Lisa, Myles and Peter Cleave sold our house at 71 Bassett Road on 30 June 2021. We had met the Cleaves a number of times over the years at open homes and had always been impressed by their professionalism and how they personally interact with buyers. When we decided to sell our family home, we knew the Cleaves would be the best people for the job - and we were proven right. They are quite simply, exceptional. The Cleaves work fantastically both as individuals and as a team, and we felt fully supported by them at all times. The auction process itself was managed expertly with full support from the UP team. Lisa, Myles and Peter were fantastic at engaging and informing buyers throughout the auction process, with a fantastic result on the day. The reporting and availability to get updates was excellent and always forthcoming. Lisa, Myles and Peter always made themselves available to us, giving us their time to answer any questions we had, or just to chat through the process in general. The entire UP Realty office style and approach was excellent. Do not underestimate their skills and expertise in preparing your home for the market. Everything is done in-house and you are fully engaged and consulted throughout the process - they really do focus on making sure you are happy with everything, but also bring decades of experience to support you all the way through. We highly recommend Lisa, Myles and Peter - be assured you will be in expert hands."

"Over the last ten years we have bought and sold three properties with Peter Cleave. We had no hesitation in working with Peter again for the recent sale of our home in Mission Bay. Peter, Lisa and Myles are a great team. They are experienced, calm, and very thorough. They only brought prequalified, genuine buyers looking to purchase a property at the top end of the market and those that could work with our settlement requirements. We were kept well informed throughout the process and had an unconditional sale within two weeks of listing. Over the years we have recommended them to numerous acquaintances and would definitely choose to work with Peter, Lisa and Myles in the future."

"We are so pleased we engaged Lisa, Peter and Myles to sell our house and would highly recommend them. We were very happy with the ease, speed and result of the sale. They listen, are friendly, efficient, flexible and nothing is a problem. They made what we thought was going to be a stressful process an absolute dream. Thank you!"

"We recently bought and sold property with Peter Cleave. We had looked for a new home for several years and had come across Peter many times during that process. We liked his professional, straightforward manner and this made him a great person to deal with when we finally found a new home. We then listed with Peter and found him very easy to deal with. He got onto organising the sale quickly and efficiently and was respectful of our time and privacy. We felt Peter only brought genuine buyers who could afford our property through and that he was good at reading whether a buyer was real or not. Peter communicated with us clearly and kept us up-to-date and informed throughout the process. His experience and knowledge of the Remuera market are clear and he is genuinely a nice person to deal with. We would happily recommend Peter and would work with him again."
