“We have just concluded a very successful lease transaction with the assistance of Kate O’Connell. At all times Kate was helpful, friendly, professional and responsive. She listened to us and made sure she understood our needs, which meant we were able to negotiate mutually acceptable terms and come to an agreement in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for an agent for commercial leasing.” - Juliet Hyatt, Lautrec Technology

The whole procedure went smoothly, efficiently and professionally. Perfect! And as an added bonus Kate is so relaxed and easy to get on with." - Juliet Worsp, Terra Viva Café
"Our requirements for a property for our business could not be considered typical but Simon worked with us from our first meeting, over several months, in pursuit of a property that was suitable. He was enthusiastic, diligent and decisive, he persevered until he found us a property that worked. Simon was easy to communicate with and always willing to discuss the options. Simon went beyond my expectations as a property consultant and I wish to express my sincere thanks to Simon for the extended journey he joined us on." - M Mathieson, Purchaser
"We found Simon to be very personable, he was recommended to us. Simon has made every effort to secure a sale for us, we have never before experienced the focus that Simon displayed in his endeavor to reach a satisfactory outcome." - J & S Warring, Vendors

"Having heard mention of Howard Buchanan’s reputation for excellence as a Body Corporate / Property Manager in late 2009, I met with him to discuss the possibility of his performing this role on behalf of The Peterborough Centre Body Corporate. At that time I was immediately impressed by the professionalism, experience and attention to detail that were clearly part of his character and his work ethic.
Following that meeting Howard remained in contact and when events brought about by the Feb 2011 Earthquake ensured the Body Corporate Committee for The Peterborough required further guidance I had no hesitation in referring him to members for the role.
Since that time I have worked closely with Howard and have been enormously impressed with the loyalty, sincerity and un-paralleled commitment he has provided the owners within body corporate and the task at hand.
He has worked tirelessly to assist our Body Corporate executive committee in order to ascertain and realize the best possible outcome for the body corporate as a whole, The historic building itself and also the city of Christchurch by way of negotiating and creating a sale arrangement that not only maximized our ability as a body corporate to establish and recover optimum insurance compensation, but also ensured the unanimous agreement of all 37 unit owners to sell our severely damaged historic building and land to the single party best able to ensure its future repair which would otherwise not be an option.
Had Howard not been involved in this task I have little doubt that outcome for all parties would have been quite different, his exceptional body corporate and building management skills, his prior knowledge of the building industry, his ability to coordinate numerous parties and tasks while still communicating ideas and concepts clearly to all involved and most importantly his integrity are the factors that have ensured our building and our owners have come through the enormous test that we faced having achieved without doubt our goal of the absolute best possible outcome for all involved.
Please do not hesitate to make contact with me in the event you require any further information with regard to the above.
Yours Sincerely" Coral Mazlin- Hill, Chairman BC 79647 – The Peterborough
"With the sale and final settlement of Bridgewater I just wanted to thank you all for the amazing effort you all put into negotiations. Howard of course took a leading role and he was brilliant but everyone helped out and Shaun Cottrell was a tower of strength too and Louise always was prompt, accurate and helpful. Bridgewater was an amazing community and I had 11 happy years there and while I have moved on I still miss it if I reflect on those happy years all of which were guided by Howard. A big thank you to you all." Bevan Whitty, Committee Member, Bridgewater Apartments Body Corporate 76019
