We Have Sold!

Our property is special. It took us a long time to find it when we were looking.

Jan has taken us through the journey to find our home's new owner who will love and cherish it as we have. We approached Jan initially because she had just sold another property with a nice large section.

We have appreciated Jan's depth of experience and no-nonsense advice as we negotiated several potential sale options. We have particularly appreciated Jan's patience and positivity throughout our sale journey.

We are delighted with the end result!"

Buying a Property Through Jan Mackie

I came across a lovely property that seemed too hard for me to buy. Jan was patient about my busy lifestyle and personalcirumstances and indecision.

She was very quick to respond to my questions and was flexible and efficient providing information and communicating with vendors.

Nothing seemed any trouble and I felt supported to makeany steps I chose at myown pace. I would recommend Jan because she is effective, no fuss and has a secure knowledge of the market with years of realistic experience."

"

Very Practical and Helpful

I have recently had to act as Power of Attorney in selling my Aunt's house house. Doing this from a six hour drive away is never much fun. But Jan was very very helpful, communicated well, direct and to the point and so helpful with organising local things to be done that made my life a lot easier. Thoroughly recommend her no nonsense and genuine approach."

Thank you Jan."

Jan’s experience, knowledge of the locality and current trends was invaluable in helping make informed decisions. Jan is an excellent communicator. She kept us well informed and was quick to respond to questions.

"Let’s sell my house, I thought one day, so decided to action straight away.

So I rung Jan my agent from years before, who was quickly at my door.

Listing form and paperwork by the tonne, I sucked it up and knew it must be done.

Elliot and Jan had a mission on their hands, with a fussy vendor, full of high demands.

But they handled me well and I even listened once or twice, to what they had to say with valuable advice.

We had a lockdown to deal with, then sanitising and masks, but they never let that throw them from the all important task.

Contracts and cash outs, then multiple offers came, never giving up, on the all important end game.

I then had to buy, I had my wish list in my hand, but never listen to a buyer, they have no idea where they stand.

So thanks to Manu, who made me see the light, I brought my own listing and my future now looks bright."

"Sharon & I wish to thank you sincerely for your exceptional service and support, which resulted in the recent sale of our Hastings property. There were many unusual circumstances during the sales process, including the arrival of the Covid pandemic in New Zealand, plus us living overseas.

Your support for our son who was representing us during the sales process, plus the additional help you gave us over and above the role of the agent, to enable the properties ongoing presentation was a terrific help and very much appreciated. Nothing was a problem and even though we were so far away overseas we always felt we were receiving high quality professional service and assistance.

Sharon and I would highly recommend you and Jan to anyone selling or purchasing a property."

– Sharon & Jim F

"A huge thanks to Elliot and Jan for a job very well done!

When choosing an agent to list my elderly parents’ home, your professionalism made you the obvious choice. Your knowledge of the market and your preparation in researching information pertinent to the property before your first visit was exceptional. You had really done your homework which got us off to a flying start. Selling the family home, which had been built by our Dad, was a very emotional time. You both showed great sensitivity in this regard and with care and experience helped my parents through the process.

I live out of Hastings, but you kept me totally in the picture with txts, emails and phone calls. Nothing was too much trouble. You had some great ideas for the open homes to promote the house in a unique way, and all that effort paid off. To get 28 offers was absolutely amazing and the subsequent contract was a fantastic result. Your approach to the sale has been a great help in assisting Mum & Dad adjust to their new life away from their home of 63 years.

I would recommend you as the standout agents of Hastings!!"

"We approached the Mackies because we wanted people who had a proven successful track record, had been in real estate for some time, familiar with the housing market, were dedicated, honest and reliable. More importantly, we needed people to be able to communicate easily, and confidently.

The Mackies helped us by thoroughly researching the property, arranging all advertising and photographs.  Had a time frame which we could work to.  Nothing was too much for the Mackies to do for us.  The result was outstanding in that both house and section were sold. One thing I liked was their commitment to us as their clients. I found the experience with the confidence, reassurance and advice that both Jan and Elliot gave us, we couldn’t have achieved the sales without them.

I would recommend the Mackies because, wow, what can we say."

- Pam & Ray

"Thank you Jan and Elliot Mackie for your professional competence when selling my property (over the difficult Covid lockdown period). Your attention to detail and wealth of understanding of all that is involved in the selling process gave me reassurance in the process of successful selling.

You set a high standard.

This high standard was invaluable as a reference for me to keep in mind when I relocated away from Hawke's Bay, enabling me to evaluate property descriptions and legalities to negotiate the mine-field of the housing market in a different market area.

I thoroughly recommend Jan and Elliot for peace of mind when selling or buying your house."

"Took the Stress out of Selling - Both my husband and I were so out of touch with the process of selling a home as we had been in the family home for nearly 24 years prior to selling, and a lot had changed. Jan only lived around the corner from our home and had local knowledge of our area, prices and trends, as well as a wealth of wisdom and experience.

Nothing was too much trouble for her. Both her and Elliot took the time to explain the procedure regarding the Auction process and were there supporting us the whole way. Communication was excellent and Jan was in regular contact with us either by phone or email throughout the whole selling process.

Thank you Jan and Elliot. You are a great team."

– Christine & Donald M

"Enjoyable and Easy - Working with Jan and Elliot to sell our property in Havelock North was a straightforward and easy process, made so by their knowledge of the market and their skill in marketing our property.

"Excellent Agents - Jan & Elliot have assisted us on several occasions when we have required assistance to sell properties on behalf of parents, including a rental property for ourselves.

"Elliot and Jan have helped me through a very difficult time when my husband was in palliative care and I had to sell my family home. I had never sold a house and only ever bought one nearly forty years ago. Elliot, as my main contact, and Jan have supported me and guided me every step of the way so that I got a better price than I expected. They then advised me and helped me on the path to buying my next house.

I came away from the whole experience feeling as if I had made new friends who had my best interests at heart."

"Great Agent to work with - Having bought and sold with Jan many years ago when the opportunity came to find a new house we had no hesitation in working with Jan again.

"We would recommend the Mackies because they represented us with a friendly, professional and polite manner, with our best interests always uppermost in mind. Their collaborative approach and willingness to take on extra work involved in the sale and extra detailing of our house and land package was very much appreciated. Their experience enabled the process to be very straight forward and they are very open, honest and easy to work with.

We are very happy to recommend Jan and Elliot to anyone looking for experienced professionals to sell their property."

"I approached the Mackies because we had been impressed with their professional approach with prior contact with them. Firstly, Jan has been involved in real estate for many years and has an impressive history with sales and happy vendors and buyers. Elliot has paved his way also with Harcourts and is extremely competent in getting your house sold.

We were really impressed with Elliot's expertise and the manner in which he conducted himself during the sale of our house, thanks for a great result."

"The Mackies helped me by making my father's house sale so easy and quick. The result was great! It happened as they said it would, very quick and easy and best of all - hassle free!! One thing I like was that they made us feel like we were valued clients, they looked after us, returned phone calls and nothing seemed to be a bother.

I found the experience overall very easy, hassle free and enjoyable. I would recommend the Mackies - their reputation precedes them and they are a very successful duo! They are the best! That's all there is to it!!"

"When buying a house it’s all about LOCATION but we found when selling a house it’s all about experience! Jan's experience in real estate is what set her apart from the rest and made her the best choice for us. Her tenacity and honesty was much appreciated and led to a positive result indeed.

Thanks again Jan for all your hard work and thinking outside the box, what a breath of fresh air!"

"To have Jan as my real estate agent was a pleasure, to have her deal with (for me) the daunting business of selling my home in Parkvale and buying my “dream” flat in Mahora. This was done in a very efficient, friendly and helpful way. Jan goes the extra mile when needed.

With pleasure I recommend Jan Mackie as your selling and/or buying agent."

"Last year due to health reasons my father had to go into a rest home and I had the task of selling his unit in Hastings. Living outside of Hawke’s Bay, I acted on the strong recommendation of Dad’s lawyer and approached Jan Mackie to market and sell Dad’s home. Jan was amazing and right from the beginning of this process I was confidently able to leave every detail in her hands. She was thoroughly professional, was always available to speak to, and kept me in touch with every development.

The result of her excellent marketing and hard work was that Dad’s unit sold in a few months. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jan to anyone considering selling a property – I found her great to deal with and she frequently went “the extra mile” on my behalf."

"It is with utmost appreciation of your professionalism and "nothing is ever too much of a problem" attitude that I felt compelled to write this letter. You have made the purchase of our home in Churchill St, Hastings a very simple process and while I was putting under additional pressure with all the extras visits and questions you never objected and went out of the way to make the process as easy as possible.

The way you allowed us to work through our own difficult personal situation in regard to this purchase while showing your full support, friendliness and understanding has gone a long way and made both of us realise that Harcourts are very lucky to have a person with your attitude and personality working for and representing their brand.

Thank you again for all your assistance, support, and I will be recommending you to any of our friends, family or acquaintances that either in the market in the market to purchase or sale a property."

"I have used Jan Mackie as my real estate agent over the last 5 years. Jan helped me buy my first house. I was impressed with her professionalism, having always felt a bit intimidated by previous agents. As a working, single parent with 3 school age children, my time was precious. She listened to my requirements and only took me to relevant listings, which I really appreciated. With her vast knowledge and large client base she was able to keep me informed on what was on the market. I was extremely happy with my purchase and Jan made the transaction easy.

Recently my husband and I were in the market again. My husband with a commercial property and myself with a house. Both were listed with Jan. She immediately found several serious, prospective buyers and both properties sold within a week. We now have purchased the house of our dreams, again thanks to Jan. And finally, my husband has his house to sell, which of course will be listed with Jan!

She is not only a great real estate agent, but also a person who is generous, you can have fun with, but most importantly, she is someone you can trust."

– Mark & Cath M

"Jan is the most awesome agent I’ve dealt with. She keeps in touch and looks after our best interests. I would recommend Harcourts to anybody wanting to sell or buy and in particular Jan. She really goes out of her way.

Thanks for everything Jan. You are # 1."

– Michelle P

"It took a year, but with Jan’s tremendous support we found a property that suited. And, the hard work was done for us. Over a short period Jan zeroed in on our requirements and we left her to it. Initial viewings/photos were via the internet with follow-up visits if we felt the property might suit – it saved us hours! We can’t thank Jan enough for her tireless work and endless optimism in searching for our new home.

We’d thoroughly recommend Jan and her expertise in the housing property market."
