To Whom It May Concern

Debs Metson was engaged in February 2020 as sole agent to sell a property by tender for us in Khandallah, Wellington.

We had the advantage of allowing the house to be vacant during the process. Debs starts her magic well before going to market with a keen eye on maximising appeal whilst also ensuring her due diligence on every aspect of the property.

We selected Debs for her reputation of professionalism including legislative requirements and their practical implications, her eye for detail aesthetically and procedurally, her dedication, tenacity and drive for results regardless of the agency brand on her business card.

Debs is a rare breed of person who has her mind on the big picture and focus on the smallest detail. She also works collaboratively with a trusted property specialist who ensures work undertaken to upgrade any aspect of the property is undertaken appropriately.

From our perspective, once we agreed on the sale method, the marketing and associated logistics required, we chose to be as hands off as possible, empowering Debs to work with stagers, photographers, etc without interference. I believe this worked to everyone’s advantage as it allowed the team to make agile decisions on actions using their professional expertise while keeping us informed.

By the time the property went to market, potential buyers could access all available due diligence information to minimise additional costs where possible. Debs knew the property well and could answer most buyer questions immediately.

Our home was marketed and sold by tender in mid-March with settlement during Level 4 Lockdown. This was a highly stressful situation for all parties as it was uncharted territory. Debs managed the situation and associated stress levels with great care and professionalism.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Debs to any vendor and would look to engage her again in the future. If you want your home to be showcased in the best possible light, maximise your investment return and with the least stress possible – sign up with Debs and empower her to ‘do her thing’.
