"Martin's skill and experience was imminent from the beginning of the marketing program, I felt encouraged that all would go well due to his positivity and enthusiasm throughout. Martin achieved a result for me that other Agents couldn't."
"We have just sold our property through Martin Honey at Ray White, Royal Oak
and are absolutely delighted with the result, which we have no doubt is due
to the ability of Martin and his team.
Martin sold a home for us about 8 years ago and we were thrilled with that
result, so it was natural to use him again. He is professional, hard working
and committed to doing the very best he can for his clients. He is also
enthusiastic and very creative in his ways of marketing the property, which
has very positive results.
Thank you Martin for all your work in helping us present the house at it's
best and working hard to bring about the sale so successfully. You have a
great team working with you - thank you Jared & Stephanie - and we wish you
continued success in the future. We don't hesitate to recommend you to
anyone wanting to sell their property."
Thanks so much to you all
Bruce & Barbara Murdoch, Vendors 10a Rewi Rd, Royal Oak Feb 2012
"Martin impressed us when we met him several months earlier. He
clearly had the gift of selling, but in a friendly and relaxed manner
that we found comfortable. With this in mind we chose him to sell
our house and were not disappointed. The people he surrounds
himself with and his marketing strategies were all spot on. With a
minimum of fuss he achieved an excellent result for us in just three
weeks. We will definitely use him again."
Simon John and Alex McHaffie April 2011
"Thanks to Martin for his professional marketing campaign,
followed up with tireless work representing our property, and
sound advice throughout the process. We also valued his
sound knowledge of the Onehunga Market".
Dave and Sue Hewitt April 2011
"Dear Martin, Our thanks to you and your team for achieving
a highly satisfactory result for us on Auction night!
You and Steph and your young and exceptional team took all
the stress out of the process and made it plain sailing for us.
We have appreciated it immensley."
Liz and George Goldsworthy April 2011
"Getting Martin in was the best thing we did. He organised the
marketing and paperwork quickly and the buyers were handled
professionally. Martin worked tirelessly between ourselves and
the buyers to achieve our wish price and we would not hesitate
to recommend him."
Grant Simpson March 2011
"Martin gave us a completely honest opinion on what needed
to be done to our home to maximise its selling potential and
the proof is in getting an unconditional sale within 2 days of the
first open home weekend. Thanks for all your hard work Martin,
this is the second time I have dealt with you and I trust it won't
be the last. I will highly recommend you to friends and family as
someone who gets results!"
Jan Bliss March 2011
"Martin persevered throughout a lengthy marketing process, not
once did he lose focus or try to force our hand on price. At the
end we had to concede that the right price had been achieved
for both parties. Simply put, it was the best experience we have
every had with an Agent."
Chris and Dawn Anderson 2010
"From the vast array of agents eager to take on property listings
it's largely a chance factor, I took it with Martin Honey. Straight
forward, practical, sound advice and action - how often is a
property sold on Christmas Day!! And then flick in the benefits
he offers. I took the chance you don't need to, just do it with
Martin."
Peter Lucas Dec 2010
"If it hadn't been for Martin we would still be here! With Martin we
were able to visualize the transistion and take it out of the ‘too hard
basket'. Martin's contacts and his own extensive knowledge and
experience of not just the sales side but the logistical side of selling
up and moving was a great motivating factor. The administration
side was handled professionally and efficiently and we had every
confidence that our potential buyers were being handled with
care".
Fayne and Emmett Myers Nov 2010
"We chose the wrong people ... we were required to sell up fast
& we choose the wrong people! We wasted hundreds of hrs of
personal time, lost $8,000 in wasted advertising, and four months
of pain. Being introduced to Mr Honey was a ‘GOD SEND', he is a
man that has a natural gift & passion to sell houses. For too many
reasons to write, Mr Honey's strategies were miles above others. If
you are in ‘a need to sell situation' like we were, if you wish feel free
to call regarding the many significant differences we found Martin
offered."
Stacee Harris Oct 2010
"If you are selling or purchasing property, I can recommend
Martin Honey. Martin is a registered auctioneer and conducted
the auction of my house...The whole conduct of the auction
and the outcome was very satisfactory. I found Martin had a
very good knowledge of the market and produced a good
marketing plan. He was highly competent in his dealings with
me and my prospective clients and he was assiduous in
following up those who had shown interest."
Patricia O'Connor Sept 2010
"We found Martin to be very professional and to take things in
hand for us so we have not had to worry at all... He had very
short notice from us to list the property and Martin impressed
us when we met him several months earlier. He clearly had the
gift of selling, but in a friendly and relaxed manner that we found
comfortable. ith a minimum of fuss he achieved an excellent
result for us in just three weeks. We will definitely use him again".
Leigh van Rixel June 2010
"Thank you for all you efforts selling our rental house in Onehunga.
It wasn't the first time we had tried to sell it and we were a little
nervous about the possible outcome. Martin, you reassured us
throughout that it would sell and low and behold it did a couple
if days after our auction - who said houses don't sell in Easter
weekend! Thanks so much to you for all the effort in getting
the job done and thanks to Steph as well for keeping me calm
throughout the process."
Michelle and Mike Lambert May 2010
"We chose to use Martin as our agent because of the obvious
success he had in the local area as well as the very professional
way he approached the business of selling houses. His
marketing of our home drew large numbers of viewers through
the open homes. We found Martin to be just as passionate
about our house as we were. He made the whole house selling
process fun and exciting rather than daunting and stressful.
Together with Stephanie, they make a remarkable team."
Glen & Betz May 2010
"Dear Martin, firstly, we wanted to thank you and your team for
making the sale of 124 Grey Street as low stress as this process
can possibly be. The passion and enthusiasm for what you
do certainly gave us confidence that we could sell our property
in quick time, which is exactly what transpired. From listing to
settlement - 5 weeks! The direction you set and followed could
not have been more straight forward and we ended the process
with a price that was fair to both us and the purchaser".
Kelly and Krystina Smith May 2010
"Just a quick note from Dave and I to say thank you very much to
you and your team for the time and effort you put into marketing
our property. We are really happy with the result you achieved
and will certainly recommend you to anyone thinking of selling
their property."
Dave & Monique Hamlin Feb 2010
"For a first time home seller and one who currently resides
offshore, a potentially difficult process was made all the more
easy through your professionalism and focus to the cause. I
was particularly pleased with the marketing aspect of the sale,
including the printed brochures/flyers which looked very sharp
and professional."
Chris Waters Feb 2010
"Martin's skill and experience was imminent from the beginning
of the marketing program, I felt encouraged that all would go
well due to his positivity and enthusiasm throughout. Martin
achieved a result for me that other Agents couldn't".
Brent Fabish 2009
"Martin was very professional and helpful with regards to the sale of our home. We were pleased that the reserve price we set on the property was realistic and at no point were we under any illusions about what our home may achieve at auction. As a result we were very happy with the outcome which exceeded pre-auction offers and Martins experience and extensive customer contacts no doubt greatly assisted the successful sale.
" Heath & Bernie Burgoyne, Vendors 62 Paihia Rd, March 2010
"My husband and I have known Martin for the past 10 years and in that time we have been so impressed with the service he provides that we have sold two homes through Martin and purchased two homes through Martin. We have also recommended him to family members and Martin has sold a home on behalf of my parents.
"
"
Martin is enthusiastic and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. He provides sound advice on marketing strategies and as an added bonus has allowed us to use his truck to move furniture from one home to another.
" K & P Amiatu
"We first met Martin Honey in 2002 when he sold our first home in less than a week for more than we expected. We were impressed. He was the logical choice when selling our latest home just recently. His professionalism has always impressed us and the huge network of buyers and sellers he has relationships with has always proved a huge asset for us when choosing him as a real estate agent. The 'Martin Honey Machine', as we have always affectionately called it, didn't let us down when we sold our much loved Amaru Road home in June. Martin sold our latest home in least than a week for more than we expected , once again! Martin knows the Onehunga area better than anyone else we have seen, knows real estate business like the back of his hand, and works impressively with potential buyers and of course ourselves, the vendors. It is amazing what happens when you have a real estate agent who knows what he is doing. Thanks Martin!
" Sarah and Andy Brown
" We recently sold our house through Martin, after buying it through him 9 years ago. We had no hesitation listing with Martin as we found him great to deal with originally. He truly listened to what we wanted in a home and has kept in touch over the years.
"
"Again, we weren't disappointed with Martin's thorough and professional approach. He has extensive knowledge of the area and knew exactly how to best market our home.
"
"We would recommend Martin to anyone looking for excellent service and results.
" Karyn & Kelsen Butler
"We had previously tried to sell the house on Trademe with lots of hits on the website to view the property, but no response. We went with Team Martin Honey as they are very well known and have a proven track record in the area.
"
"
We found Team Martin Honey to be professional, punctual, and organised. They kept us well informed and in the picture with weekly written reports and daily update as to who was viewing and who expressed an interest.
"
"
The Team were happy to include the idiosyncrasies that we felt were important to the sale of the property. The team approach was very successful as we found them to be efficient and prompt in responding to our queries.
"
"
Once the negotiation was over and the sale was made, the added bonus of being able to use the removal truck was an asset and proof of the team going the extra mile with service.
" C Russell & T Dolman
"Based on previous experiences that found the majority of real estate agents to be of dubious ability, I had a pre-conceived opinion of real estate agents in general, that was fair to say was not at all flattering to that profession.
"
"
With Team Martin honey I couldn't have been more wrong. Martin is a smart and very skilled real estate agent, clearly at the peak of his profession. Well thought out sales strategies, good advice, well managed open homes and great communication combined to result in a sale prior to auction with a very short settlement.
" G & L Bradford
"I met Martin Honey at an open home while looking for a house. He was very helpful and patient and spent a long time showing me around houses. Martin was not at all pushy and let me make up my own mind. Martin sold my house in Fern Ave, Epsom and also found me one to buy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Martin to anybody who was looking to buy or sell a house." J Wells
"The limit for purchase and the need by sale were very restrictive areas for me as I sought the invaluable assistance of Mr Martin Honey.
Undaunted by these odds, he gave his hand with the confidence born of experience and integrity" J Ratnasabapathy.
"I asked advice from friends who have been active in the market recently, and they all came back with the same recommendation , Martin Honey.
However, as you will probably also do, I invited a number of other agents to present their plans to me. With the exception of Martin, very
few had any record of recent sales success in my area, and most seemed to think I would be swayed by the fact that they could keep advertising
costs to a minimum"."The scene on the day was un-believable (I'm sure Martin will show you some photos)! It seemed that most of Auckland wanted
to buy my house! The high number of bidders meant that bidding quickly went beyond the reserve (which I had thought might have been at the upper
end of expectations anyway) to a price that left me a bit dumb-struck!"Do yourself a favour, listen to the others for comparison's sake if you
like, but in the end, go with Martin Honey". M Brick
"We would like to say a huge thank you for such a professional, fast and exceptional service you provided in selling
our much loved home. We appreciated your honest advice when we received a cash/private sale offer and your acceptance of our challenge of having
one week to sell our property for more, with no time for marketing.
Not only did you sell our home within three days, you presented offers that were more than what we expected. Our primary offer that we accepted
blew us away, we were stunned that you could get so much for our home in such little time. You also seemed to thrive under the challenge which
was great. We are absolutely delighted!
We can't say enough great things about our experience with you. You certainly exceeded our expectations and for that we are very appreciative." S and A Brown
"Although we were concerned with the quiet residential property market and the speed at which we required a sale, Martin
was able to use his understanding of market conditions in order to recommend an excellent sales strategy which lead to a very favourable deal within
just ten days." G & D Cooper
"We were made comfortable from
the outset by your friendliness, frankness and your
untiring efforts on our behalf. This was epitomized
in the result that was achieved at the auction, even
though we and our family had reservations about this
method. Nevertheless the proof of the system was that
we fully achieved our financial expectations in less
than thirty minutes after four weeks of committed marketing." P & C Jew
"He possesses sound market knowledge, based on practical experience and has the initiative and ability to use his knowledge
to satisfy clients' real estate requirements. His comprehensive knowledge of related services adds to the success of this professional approach. He
offers information to his clients to guide them in finding the most appropriate solution for their needs; I found Martin's opinions in financial matters
very beneficial" G Tremain-Boon
"We would have no reservation in recommending both yourself and REMAX to other prospective vendors. Thank you for a good
result achieved through auction." S and M Nicholson
"After marketing my property for only twelve days Martin presented me with an unconditional cash offer for the sale of my property." EM Carrucan
"At no stage during the marketing of the property did I feel that I had made an incorrect decision by placing the property in Martin's hands." R Hailes.
"You have helped to sell our home with the best price in a shortest possible time frame. There is no doubt that we would not have done so well without your skill.
You have certainly given us all the right advise and help to market our property in a professional manner. With the knowledge you possess, the honesty and pleasant
personality, along with the hard work and dedication, you have put in the job, you have helped us to achieve a lot further than anyone expected." N Huynh.

"We would like to commend
Martin Honey for his up most professionalism and his
dedication to "getting the job done". Martin advised
us on markerting campaigns allowing us to make a thoroughly
informed decision. We trusted his advice and his sound
knowledge of the current property market, Martin has
impressed us so much that we regularly tell our friends
and family about our great selling experience and the
agent to whom we owe the successful sale of our house.
Our advice is to go with TEAM MARTIN HONEY as they truly
are leaders in the real estate market." A & V Skilton
