When I set out to find an estate agent, I was initially guided by my daughter in New Zealand who is is an agent herself. I used LocalAgentFinder to identify 3 likely agencies, and in interviewing each agent I found myself developing my criteria. Perhaps any of the three would have been good, but I chose Ryan because: 1. He is local and integrated into the community as well as knowing the locale 2. He is the third generation of a family business and proud of the heritage (I preferred a family business to a franchise, I concluded) 3. He is a registered builder and experienced renovator who could see the soundness of the structure as well its appearance 4. He convinced me that he really wanted to sell this particular home In the event, he was enthusiastic, friendly yet thoroughly professional, with exactly the right amount of communication to satisfy me, readily available when I wanted him. He was backed up by a good team (thank you Toni!). I would choose him again.
