Here's what some of my clients have had to say about me.
We attracted well over 200 potential purchasers through the doors & a startling 24 tenders received on closing day.
It’s thought that selling your house is stressful. Throw in the mix a 3 year old & a newborn & it would almost be guaranteed to be, but with Annie and Craig at the helm, it was anything but! We felt at ease discussing the sale of our house with Craig and Annie, more akin to catching up with mates for a coffee.
They advised us on where best to spend our time & money preparing the property for sale & gave us great marketing and sales advice, from when best to hit the market & what sales method we should use for that particular moment in time.
Through the entire process they always kept us well informed & did a fantastic job managing the extreme number of potential purchasers who wanted to view our property. With every appointment made they were always considerate of our young family’s needs.
With our property in their hands we attracted well over 200 potential purchasers through the doors & a startling 24 tenders received on closing day. The end result was outstanding (left us speechless) & stands as a testament to the ability of Craig & Annie & the entire team.
To Craig, Annie & the team, we would without question recommend you to anyone looking to sell their property."

By far the best estate agent we have dealt with in the Wellington region.
"Anna and I found Craig Oliver excellent to deal with, he made the whole process of buying a new house and selling our current house very easy and straight forward.
We initially approached Craig to put in an offer on a house in Kilbirnie. The offer came with the condition of selling our current house, Craig was able to guide us on an offer to meet his vendor’s expectations and also negotiated sufficient time for us to put our current home on the market. We had initially looked at using another real estate company to sell our current home, however we were so impressed with Craig through the buying process that we decided to use him instead.
Craig was great at guiding us through the tender process and open home strategy and his team did an excellent job of marketing our property for maximum appeal on Trade Me and Open to View. Not only did Craig manage to get us a very good offer on our current home, he also managed the whole chain very smoothly, keeping three parties happy and helping us secure a new larger home to start a family in. We would highly recommend Craig Oliver, he was easy to deal with, direct and has a very genuine and professional approach - by far the best estate agent we have dealt with in the Wellington region."
James and Anna Ward, Kilbirnie, Wellington
The whole team work together to achieve the best results possible.
"This is the third house in a row Craig has handled for me, as always they have been a delight to work with, the whole team work together to achieve the best results possible for their clients. They are all very comfortable in their approach and really do seem to think of everything I am more than happy to recommend the entire team and look forward to working with them again."
Andrew Cridland, Miramar
What an outstanding real estate practitioner!
"My husband and I have bought and sold six times in the last seven years. During our most recent purchase we came in contact with Craig. What an outstanding real estate practitioner! Craig's vast experience in buying and selling means he now has a wealth of experience and real estate wisdom to draw on and this becomes most evident in the calm and professional manner he conducts himself. With Craig there is no pressure; no visiting properties that don't fit your criteria; no judgment - just practical advice, suitable properties (and thus buyers for it), easy communication and a fabulous work ethic. Nothing was any trouble and his devotion to the process meant he was readily available and in ready contact until the day we moved in and the key was handed over.
Thank you for everything. We finally have our dream home and have had a fabulous purchase process as well. We highly recommend anyone, buyer or seller get in contact with Craig."
Jane and Simon Finnimore, Strathmore
He’s a practical problem solver and geniunely nice man
"Craig did a brilliant job for us when we decided to put our very special house on the market. He was patient, thorough and helped us shape a marketing programme that yielded great results. Craig goes the extra mile for his clients. He was always available to help and took the stress out of the process at every turn. He’s a practical problem solver and geniunely nice man. We heartily recommend Craig as a Listing Agent."
Joe and Abby Letteri, Wellington
We had total confidence in the way Craig handled our open homes.
"We highly recommend Craig Oliver. The sale of our house was presented in an honest, professional manner. Craig kept us informed, explaining all the legal aspects during the whole process. We had total confidence in the way Craig handled our open homes and always gave us plenty of notice of other visits. The sale and handover could have been very stressful but Craig was very understanding and professional in his manner.
We would like to thank you, Craig."
Val and Graham Parish, Seatoun Heights, Wellington
Craig was by far the most organised of agents that presented to us.
"Purchasing through Craig was a great experienced. He was reliable, brilliant at communicating and assisted us to present the cleanest offer that we could. He was very flexible with viewing times and went out of his way to show us through at the times we requested. He managed to quickly gather all information that we required to give us the time we needed to compile a successful tender.
Purchasing through Craig was so good that we decided to also list our home with him to manage the sale. Similarly Craig was by far the most organised of agents that presented to us. His analysis of the market was very accurate and he was careful to give us a structured sales approach. Several offers required careful management and Craig kept great control of this process throughout. This approach was ultimately successful with a quick and easy settlement process.
Thanks Craig for a great experience. We have no reservation in recommending Craig to anyone considering a sale/purchase!."
Ben Teusse, Island Bay, Wellington
Totally professional, trust worthy and result driven.
"We have dealt with Craig Oliver for many years now and he has acted for us on a number of sales. In all our dealings with Craig we have always found him to be totally professional, trust worthy and result driven.
When it came time to sell our family home at 16 Nevay Road we invited Craig to give us a marketing plan for our property. As usual he was proactive in formulating the best methods and approach in his planning.
During the process we found his excellent communication skills and wealth of knowledge a great assistance. He worked diligently and tirelessly to achieve the best outcome for our home.
I would not hesitate to recommend Craig to others intending to put their house up for sale."
Julie and Gordon Rolinson, Miramar, Wellington
We were encouraged by his apparent experience and knowledge.
"Craig Oliver was one of three agents we interviewed to sell our home. We were soon at ease with his unassuming manner and encouraged by his apparent experience and knowledge. He answered all our questions - and there were many - with no BS.
Surprisingly our house sold in less than a week with both parties delighted with the result. The sale price met our expectations and the commission and marketing costs were competitive. We heartily recommend Craig Oliver."
