Testimonials
"Ben is an excellent agent. It’s a credit to him and his team that we sold for the price we did in a changing market. He bought a team in to do improvements to the property and stage the house for sale. His communication was excellent at every stage of the process. I would recommend Ben if you are looking to sell I. Lower Hutt or Wellington."

"I met Ben, through a recommendation from my elders brothers agent in Christchurch. I live overseas, and needed help to sell my mothers rental property in Wellington, my entire interaction with Ben was remote, until the day of the auction. We communicated via email, video calls and many WA messages.
I found Ben and his team to be throughly professional, they gave me clear insights of what was happening in the market, what would be the best time to drive maximum price and the best way to achieve this, which for us was through auction. Through Ben, we gained a very clear insight into what was happening with similar properties in our rental property location and what we could expect at a sales price. Thankfully on the day of the auction, because of the way in which they run their auctions and have a fantastic auctioneer, we got well above reserve price.
Ben was patient with us, to explain the other options available to us and share his experience with us on the various pros and cons of the different actions.
In terms of marketing our property, Ben & team did a great job of marketing our property to various segments, in Wellington, outside of Wellington and also potential international buyers - they have a very wide network that they can tap into to market your properties.
I would highly recommend Ben and his team, they are sincere, honest, communicate well and don't push you to do anything your not clear on which I really appreciated. They did a great job for my family.

"Recently we bought and sold houses in Wellington. We had half -heartedly been watching the housing market but the whole process of selling our house and purchasing another seemed all too hard, particularly as we were very attached to our house and neighbourhood of 20 years.
We initially met Ben Atwill of Bayleys Real Estate as prospective buyers. We eventually bought the property and were so impressed in our dealings with him during this process, we decided to engage him in selling our property. Ben assisted us with the process every step of the way. He acknowledged that buying and selling a house was stressful, but he was able to decrease the stress, by anticipating any problems that might arise and discussed ways to deal with them.
Ben was always very professional with all aspects of the buying and selling process. He is an excellent listener and familiarizes himself with the house he is selling, therefore demonstrating an excellent history and knowledge of the property. He will also quickly follow up with the vendor, if there is a question he cannot answer (this was rarely required).
Ben is very patient never rushing us with decision making and actively encouraged us to take our time and think about the pros and cons. He was very generous with his time and went out of his way to ensure that an appointment time suited both the buyer and vendor (always checking with the vendor first) for a viewing.
He is always positive and enthusiastic in his manner and tries every avenue to make things work for his clients. Ben will always go that extra mile and doesn’t hold back with helping to clean glass windows or crawl under the house to check something, even if it means getting dust on his smart suit! He has also checked in on us, post moving in, to see if everything is as it should be.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben Atwill to anyone buying or selling a house and would DEFINITELY engage his services in the future, should we decide to move."

"We really can’t recommend Ben highly enough. From the very first meeting he showed great communication, commitment, professionalism and care. His attention to detail was beyond anything we’d experienced before when buying or selling, and this was reflected in all aspects of the sale from the initial marketing campaign right through to the day we moved out, and beyond. His negotiating skills were second to none and we were delighted with the outcome, he’s an absolute star.
