What Our Customers Say

"When we were considering selling our property in Waipu, we were uncertain whether we could afford to relocate nearer to friends and family in Auckland. Jennifer was recommended to us and we met her some months before we made the decision. She listened to our concerns and needs, she was friendly, professional and gave us her time and expert advice and never put any pressure on us to market our property until the time was right for us. The same day our property was listed Jennifer had a viewing and a signed offer, very impressive and followed through negotiating unconditional and settlement dates to everyone’s satisfaction. We would not hesitate to recommend Jennifer to any person looking to buy or sell property and wish her many more successes in the future. Thanks Jennifer and thanks for your thoughtful gift."

by Betty & Dianne

"Jennifer & Lynda – Despite what we heard about the difficulties often faced when purchasing a home, you both have made it a very easy and enjoyable process. You have always made yourselves rapidly available, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Thank you!”

by Chris & Kathy Fulop

"Lynda worked really hard over the hard winter months to secure a sale on our property. Her communication with us was fantastic, and she went out of her way to make things easy for us as absentee land owners."

by Happy Sellers

"Exceptional sales and service from Jennifer, very professional and kept me well informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone wanting to sell their property."

by Raewyn Hayward

"We dealt with Jennifer. She was always very helpful and explained the terms in the agreement, and was friendly and professional during all of our conversations. We were very grateful to Jennifer for making this experience as easy as possible. Thank you for the wine!"

by John and Susie Vierboom

"Lynda made the process of buying a house a hassle free, friendly, enjoyable experience. When issues arose, our questions were dealt with efficiently, while she liased with the sellers and council staff to get the answer we needed. Thank you for your integrity and honesty Lynda, best wishes."

by Ryan & Rachel Lloyd

"Shane gave us excellent service to find a new home in Waipu. We are very happy with our new home, and no hesitation to recommend goodGround Real Estate!"

by Murray Hales & Michael Streifler

"For professionalism and making things happen, goodGround always kept appointments on time and best of all being in contact with updates as they occur. I personally would recommend goodGround as your agent."

by Milton & Sylvia Randell

"We have bought and sold many properties over our time and the experience we have had with Shane and the goodGround team has been one of the best: professional, knowledgeable and caring. It’s been a great experience and should we ever be buying or selling in the area, without question we will come to goodGround Real Estate. A sincere thanks to Shane and everyone in the office who has gone above and beyond to help us."

by Tara Nel

"We had the property listed for some time on Trade Me with regular interest but no buyer. When Jennifer contacted us and said she would market the place for us for no cost until sale we were very happy to engage her services. As it turned out we couldn’t have made a better choice as Jennifer’s professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. We are very happy to endorse her service and therefore goodGround."

by Lyn Hume

"When I decided upon goodGround to market the property I expected good service. Excellent service was a realty. Lynda had done an enormous amount of work before we met. She was polite courteous, friendly and treated us as valued clients. Lynda explained processes clearly and gave good advice and priced the property realistically both to the seller and buyer. Lynda kept us informed each step of the way and dealt with everything promptly and efficiently. I have no hesitation in recommending goodGround to friends who have asked about our experience with them."

by Happy Vendors

"We’ve been really impressed by your professionalism (with just the right amount of persistence!) and you will be our first port of call when it comes for us to sell, no matter what property we end up trading. We have dealt with about 15 other agents in Whangarei so far and none of them have seemed to do as good a job – keep up the good work!"

by Melanie McCamish

"Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She made an effort to work with the tenants so as they were less impacted by the process. Along with the fact of dealing with me living internationally."

by Trevor Moodie

"We chose goodGround to sell our property because from the first contact with agencies Shane treated us more like friends than clients. As we were from out of town and selling our property in Waipu, Shane went above and beyond sorting things for us as we couldn’t always be there. Nothing was too much trouble, we were always kept informed and given feedback. I would definitely recommend goodGround for selling, or buying the property."

by L & B Webber

“We have bought and sold many homes and dealt with many Agents, Shane is by far the best we’ve had. He is honest, very capable, and makes sure you’re informed every step of the way. Awesome awesome awesome!”

by Adam & Lisa M

“Fantastic service and easy to work with, highly recommended!”

by Teofilo & Harriet

"Shane and the team at goodGround were highly professional and friendly, we really appreciated their local knowledge and approach to dealing with us. Thanks!!"

by Daren & Kirstine J

"We had our section listed privately for six weeks, prior to Jennifer contacting us to see if we would consider listing with goodGround. We agreed to meet to discuss what the goodGround team could do to facilitate a sale. Both my wife and myself were impressed, Jennifer has a very professional approach and presented a clear concise proposal. We were particularly impressed that only serious prospects were bought onto the property to view. We no longer had to deal with the casual drive by time wasting viewers. We subsequently received a multiple offer approximately eight weeks later and the property was sold. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Jennifer and am confident she will continue to be an asset to both sellers and buyers alike."

by M. Baker

"We have been so happy with Jennifer's service, advice, and extra efforts above and beyond the call of duty - we would be very pleased to recommend her to anybody selling or buying and would not hesitate to use her again."

by W & J Thomas

"Lynda is a willing and able estate agent, with an enthusiastic approach to the task. She was always available, always on time, which I appreciated. I got answers and/or action to all my questions and requests."

by Happy Vendor

"Working with Jennifer has been amazing. She was respectful and helpful, nothing was too much effort. I highly recommend her to both buyers and sellers."

by Happy Purchaser

"Having recently sold our rental property, we thoroughly recommend Shane Samtani of goodGround as your Real Estate Agent. With great communication and regular reporting throughout the whole selling process, Shane made the sale so much easier for both parties. Well done Shane and thank you."

by D & R Nash

"We would like to thank goodGround and Jennifer Starr for their outstanding efforts promoting and selling our charity build house in Tikipunga. We finished with a great result! Looking forward to doing it all again soon."

by Kevin Salmon General Manger , Alzheimer's Northalnd

"As a buyer, we did not expect much assistance from the agent, as we felt that they worked solely for the vendor. Also, after encountering some early obstacles on the path to first home ownership, this was even further emphasised to us. Lynda O'Riley however, worked with both parties to make the deal happen. She was impeccably honest, whilst showing professionalism at all times. As a result we found her to be a very helpful sales person for all involved. This was no easy task due to the specific logistics and covid; It needed a very good agent to make it work, and Lynda is that agent. She also has an excellent rare personality trait - empathy. Thanks for your help, we are very happy."

by Geoff and Nipa

Thank you for everything you did after years of disappointment with various agents you came through and offered the best possible advice to achieve the sale. Getting you on board was the best thing we could have done. Your enthusiasm, dedication, honesty and professionalism were outstanding at all times. The service you provided was 5 star and achieved all of our goals. Your straight talking no nonsense approach was refreshing and fully appreciated. Without you we would still be mowing the lawn and hoping."

by Chris & Amanda Graney Ex owners of 8-10 Teal Lane

“Shane has worked efficiently and professionally during the sale of our property. Shane has kept in touch with us the whole time keeping us up to date with all developments. Our property was effectively marketed showing it at its full potential. The whole selling experience has been very positive and we would work with Shane again in the future.”

by S & C Sparrow

"I chose Jennifer Starr to market my rental property... Jennifer wrote a fantastic sales description with offers over $$$ rather than a set price. Within two days, I had five to choose from! Jennifer has energy and enthusiasm for selling property. She pulled in the buyers and made the whole process easy."

by J Hughes

"We have been very happy with the service we received from goodGround Real Estate. From the moment we contacted Lynda, she has been very professional & efficient. More importantly, she has listened to us, encouraged us and supported us in what has been a very stressful time. She has gone out of her way to find the right house for us and reached a very satisfactory conclusion. Lynda is warm & sympathetic and is a person we regard as a friend. Thank you Lynda."

by J & B Bormans

"Jennifer Starr super starr! Jen’s approach is always bang on. She is supportive, caring and honest. She works hard to achieve the best result and has a no BS approach. There’s genuinely no one out there that can walk the fine line of the pitfalls of realestate with the perfect balance of caring and sensitivity with the right amount of strong arm to get the hard graft done and to the best possible outcome."

by I & J Hartley-Dade

“We recently sold our home in Mangawhai and brought a new home in Maungaturoto. The agent we dealt with was William Browning. William (Will) was fantastic to deal with! He was fast and efficient, and kept us fully informed regularly. My husband and I have very busy schedules but Will worked around us, phone calls & emails after hours and always responding quickly. We are extremely grateful to have had William. Will has a caring nature and we highly recommend him.”

by Scott & Cindy

“Thank you to William Browning for the sale of my section. William was excellent to deal with and I would definitely go to him if I was selling again or wanting to buy in the area. Thank you.”

by Ellie Harford

“William has been fantastic from start to finish. He has been available day and night, no question or request is too small for William to help with. The marketing package was outstanding and achieved a sale that was over $100,000 more than we thought we could get. William is to the point but in a friendly way and he will let you know what the reality is even if it is not looking great he is honest and has integrity. If you are thinking of selling then let William do the job and get you what you deserve for your property.”

by Sara V

"Great to deal with and would recommend."

by Grant N

"We just wanted to thank you all at goodGround for the very professional treatment we received from you all during the sale of our section at Tamaterau. To Jennifer, you went well beyond the call of duty to finalise this sale. Your determination, professionalism, can do attitude and care for us as clients was humbling. We feel like we have made new friends and we have already spread the good word about the service we have received from goodGround. Sincerely, Thank you."

by Ian and Maree Gray

"William did an amazing job of getting a sale quickly when it had been on the books for a long time before he took it over. Really good at communicating, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a salesperson to deal with."

by Jeffrey Bedwell

"Buying my first business/lease was a huge step & Will from goodGround made it so easy. He was always happy to share any questions or requests I may have with the vendor. I would highly recommend Will for your business or personal purchase endeavours."
