“We would like to acknowledge you for the way you dealt with the sale of our home recently.
Each step of the way was managed with care, efficiency, professionalism, and warmth. You are such a standout agent for Harcourts with your local knowledge, sales history, community connections, impeccable organisation and meticulous attention to every detail. You gave us informed advice along the way that was important in our decision making but at no time did we feel any pressure.
You listened to us and made sure we felt comfortable with the process, and showed empathy and consideration for our needs and provided key information, critical to the speedy and seamless sale of our home.
You met with us regularly with updates and ensured you communicated with us with clarity and transparency.
You are such a genuine person and Mark and I felt so comfortable and that eliminated all stress and made it such a positive experience. We would not hesitate to recommend you as an agent and thank you for running a successful, easy and smooth sale of our property.”

Nicky de Lautour and Mark Johnston

“From the moment I met Rosie, I felt completely at ease with the entire process of selling my home. She was never pushy and always respectful I could not recommend her more highly. The daily communication and feedback as we moved through the marketing process was so reassuring and calming. Rosie worked extremely hard with the sale of my home and achieved a fantastic result, allowing me to move on with my next adventure. I would not hesitate to work with Rosie again and would strongly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling their property. She is a wonderful lady who carries herself with class and dignity.”

Nadine Norcross

“Hi Rosie and Rose, I wanted to let you know that I loved working with you both through the sale of my house, and what a difference it made having you so engaged in the process with me.
It’s easy to sign someone up I’m sure, but what made the absolute difference for me compared to other sales agents was your attention to detail. The help you offered to me to be able to make the right decisions on prepping the house, making sure someone was there to oversee this if I couldn’t, and the additional touches that came with you being experienced agents made all the difference.
It’s a highly emotional process and having your honest, and very regular catch ups and check-ins made me feel you were on the journey with me.
Huge thanks!”

Leeanne

“We engaged Rosie Houghton to market and sell our home in Braemar Road last summer.  Knowing Rosie well from our shared passion for Stand Up Paddling and the beach, we felt she had just the right combination of skills and talent to find the right buyers for our home – a warm, friendly and open nature, a great eye for detail, incredible organisational skills while being flexible and understanding of our needs.  Rosie communicated frequently with us and potential buyers, leading us all to a great end result and helping to make the tough decisions easier.  Super-dedicated, she went above and beyond the expected many times, including to help sort out Council sign-off on historical records.  She  would always come by a little early to help sprinkle the finishing touches on our open home viewings, and was quick to provide all details and property reports to buyers. Rosie found us this very home that we fell in love with when we first moved to the North Shore three and a half years ago, so when our needs changed, we knew she’d be the perfect agent to find a new family who love it just as much.10/10.”

Victoria Stuart

“I feel the need to tell everyone (& I  do) what a fabulous experience working with Rosie Houghton & Michael Swarbrick. Right from our first point of contact both my husband & I felt very comfortable & encouraged by their professionalism & yet ease of manner. Not once were we pressured or stressed out about making decisions. We were given choices & felt in control of decisions . It’s a really fine balance & these two have nailed it. This was the best house selling experience of our lives & we’ll never forget it. Thank you soo very much Rosie & Michael.

Footnote : These two don’t normally partner up but my husband & I simply couldn’t choose between the two of them. So went with both. So thank you for that also.”

Nicola & Mark Elrick 

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work.  You went above and beyond and we really appreciate it.  We are so glad you came into our lives.  Keep in touch.”

Kane, Jody and Eden, Elliot and Harry

“Rosie Houghton from Harcourts Real Estate in Takapuna, recently handled the sale of a residential property of ours which was under a commercial lease. Nothing was straightforward but she stuck to the job and handled it all very well.  Happy to share the job when she herself did not have a buyer but another Company did. Pleasant and very ethical, I can recommend her if you are in the market to buy or sell.”

Helen Parry

“Hi Rosie,
I just wanted to thank you for all your support and help selling the house. The guidance you gave us on what to do to make the house more saleable was invaluable.
Your enthusiasm and expertise in the market ensured that as many interested parties as possible came to the auction. It was obvious how hard you worked and we are grateful for all your efforts in following up on people who came to the open homes.
Now we are ready to find our next home and are glad you are by our side to help.
Thanks again.”

Janette and Bernard Symes

“I can highly recommend Rosie, my partner and I had the pleasure of dealing with Rosie selling our first home. This was a new process for us and Rosie did a great job at explaining everything and ensuring we were kept in the loop at all times. Her communication was excellent and informative with daily and weekly updates. We felt she had a relaxed and extremely personable manner about her which matched our own style and knew potential buyers were in good hands. Thank you Rosie for doing everything you did and selling our little unit to allow us to move into our own little family house.”

Laura and Scott

“Hi Rosie, I just wanted to send you an email to thank you for your guidance and support in the process for purchasing my first home!
You were genuine, informative and helpful throughout the whole journey and were so great to deal with. I will definitely be recommending you to friends and family :-)”

Becky West

“Rosie Houghton has exclusively assisted us with selling our past two homes and we will continue to engage her with any future sales as well.  Rosie’s style is honest and not pushy, but gets the required results.  My husband and I have given listings to agents in the past, based upon them telling us an over inflated figure of what what they believed the home to be worth, only then to convince us at sale time to decrease our expectations and price.  Rosie, we find to be honest from the outset, which ultimately means that we avoid disappointment during an already emotional time.

Rosie works hard for her customers, is an excellent communicator and in general a lovely lady.  I have no problem at all recommending others wishing to sell their homes to deal with her.”

Amanda Kay (Reference 2)

“We recently sold our house and Rosie has been an excellent choice of real estate agent for us. We live overseas so all communication was done by telephone or email. We felt well informed every step of the way and appreciated her thorough approach. Rosie kept in daily regular contact through text and/or email. We were impressed with her knowledge of the current market and the information she provided us with to assist in our decision making. We were very pleased with the result. Thanks Rosie!”

Jo & Craig McIlroy

“Rosie surpassed our expectations as a real estate sales consultant. Having used others in the past, Rosie set a new standard in terms of her professionalism, outstanding realism and honesty, creative staging of the home to further enhance the features, time and patience in assisting us make the best decision for us, ability to actively listen and her great follow through. I have no hesitation in recommending Rosie Houghton to anyone who wished to use her services to sell their home. In choosing Rosie, I firmly believe you would be choosing one of the best in the industry.”

S & K Delaney

“I wanted to take the opportunity of letting you know how much we appreciated your advice, professionalism and help selling our family home. We have owned our home for 28 years and have many treasured memories of our family growing up here. We felt the way you marketed the house on our behalf reflected the pleasure and happiness associated with our long term family home. Your guidance about areas that could be smartened up prior to putting the house on the market was extremely valuable. We were thrilled and absolutely amazed that the house sold after only 4 days on the market. Having so many offers to put in front of us after such a short time speaks for itself. I am delighted to recommend you to prospective clients as I am sure you will do as well for them as you have for us.”

Frances Hague

“I am writing this in appreciation to Rosie Houghton for the wonderful professional service she gave me in the sale of my home in Milford. There are too many stories that one can hear about less than positive experiences with real estate salespeople. However, I have nothing but praise for the way Rosie conducted the whole process on my behalf – she is a credit to her profession. From my first meeting with Rosie, her experience, ethics and friendly approach left me feeling comfortable and confident, and made this an enjoyable and stress free process. I found her to be extremely dedicated and efficient in keeping me informed through the campaign, with regular feedback and progress reports. I also appreciated her knowledge and guidance throughout the entire process. I achieved a surprisingly quick result which exceeded my expectation, thanks to Rosie, and would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone looking for exceptional service and professionalism.”

Jo-Anne Cooper

“I would like to recommend Rosie Houghton as a real estate salesperson who is very professional, thoughtful and nice. She worked hard to find me a house with the specifics I wanted and did all she could in a professional manner to ensure I got it although we met some difficulties in the process. Her expertise, professionalism and warm personality make her just the perfect salesperson. Thanks Rosie.”

Sunny

“I can highly recommend Rosie as very professional and yet warmly personable real estate agent who sold my property in seamlessly efficient record time! I felt enormous relief at being able to trust her completely throughout the whole process and confidently relaxed about the outcome which I believed would be positive in her capable hands. Rosie has outstanding people skills as well as a broad range of work and life experience to offer you as clients and she will work hard and ethically on your behalf. I can wholeheartedly say that my experience with her selling my property was a pleasure from beginning to a very positive end. I have a great deal of appreciation, respect and admiration for this capable, proactive woman. Keep up the great work you are doing Rosie!”

Faye Paul

“I want to thank Rosie for her hard work which resulted in the successful sale of my house at auction recently. Rosie has an incredible eye for detail, in marketing and through the whole selling process. She was always available to discuss any aspect of the process, and supportive the whole way through. Highly recommended!”

Anne Bardsley – Castor Bay

“The perfect partnership

We were simply delighted with our experience working with Rosie to sell our beloved family home of 15 years. Rosie is professional, empathetic, and passionate, and was able to construct a campaign that delivered an outcome that far exceeded our expectations. Just as importantly Rosie worked collaboratively with us throughout the journey to ensure we were included every step of the way with first class communication and outstanding service. Rosie did not just sell our home, she built a relationship with us underpinned by our trust in her to do the very best for our family. We simply can’t speak highly enough of Rosie and would more than recommend her to anyone seeking to sell their home.”

Fay and Trevor Meiklejohn

“I would highly recommend Rosie to anyone looking for a courteous, professional and dedicated agent.. In my view she represented her vendor extremely well by answering all the questions I had about the property, determined my needs as a buyer and put together a deal quickly and efficiently with minimal fuss which worked extremely well for both parties. Rosie was great to deal with and very knowledgeable, thank you very much.”

Liam

“Andrew and I appointed Rosie Houghton to sell our last home and then go on to assist us in finding a new home for our family of 5 on the Shore in Auckland. We found her to be assertive but also respectful throughout the selling and buying process, recommending the right marketing solution to ensure we achieved the right outcome. Both Andrew and I needed an agent who listened to us, questioned our decisions with authority and implemented a sales strategy that ultimately worked. Id highly recommend Rosie, she has great work ethic as a real estate agent, has empathy during the sales process and above all, understands people’s emotions and doesn’t push when other agents would. We’d engage and refer Rosie again and again, she’s great.”

Amanda Kay

“Rosie was so fantastic to work with. We felt very secure selling our house with her as she walked us through the process and explained everything that was happening. Daily contact during the marketing period was much appreciated. She was professional, efficient and always got back to us quickly whenever we contacted her. I would definitely work with her again. Her advice was sound, and we sold our house at auction just the way we wanted to.“

Melissa and Pet Guyan

“Hi Rosie, I just want to thank you for making the sale of my home a successful experience, you inspire me and have shown me how you go about your job quietly, confidently and professionally which has been such a pleasure to work with.  It has been great getting to know you more through this process and much looking forward to your help in finding another special home to live in.”

Kathy Cardno

“My husband and I recently engaged Rosie Houghton from Harcourts to market our property for us. She had come highly recommended from a friend of ours and we were definitely extremely impressed with Rosie. She was so professional and trustworthy but she was also warm and helpful. She went out of her way to help us in areas such as landscaping and presentation and her advice was most welcome and made a potentially stressful time so much easier for us to manage.

Rosie did a wonderful and thoroughly professional job in the successful sale of our house. I would highly recommend her as an agent and will definitely using her again for another property we will be selling in the future. She is a person of high integrity and is an expert in her field.”

Mark and Nicola Arbuckle

“We cannot speak highly enough of Rosie. Her attitude, professionalism and manner towards us was reassuring throughout the whole selling process. Selling a treasured home is stressful, yet Rosie eased all our anxiety. Once again, a big thank you.”

Trevor & Ryoko Newman

“We have had the pleasure of Rosie being our real estate agent for the recent sale of our property. Throughout the process Rosie was efficient, friendly, understanding and most of all conducted the sale with true integrity. We loved the daily communication we had with her and the weekly reports following open homes. Thanks Rosie – we would recommend you to everyone selling in the North Shore!”

Colin & Lisa Arundell

“Thank you so much for all your efforts on our behalf with the sale of 198 Lake Road. You were amazing throughout, and a lifesaver at the end! We really appreciated your professionalism, advice, communication…and to be honest your loveliness as a person. Thanks so much Rosie you are a Star!”

Penny & Chris Veale

“Prior to selling our home in Milford we spent some time doing due diligence on the right agent to list with. Not only did this mean finding someone who could sell the home (at an acceptable price), but also at the top of our list was getting an agent who worked in our best interests with a relaxed yet effective style. Rose and Rosie’s styles complement each other and adds another dimension when dealing with potential purchasers. Also, being able to contact either of them (as opposed to a single agent) meant that we were always kept “in the loop”. The successful sale of our property was certainly due in part due to the work performed by the ladies both directly with the vendor as well as behind the scenes (marketing etc).”

Regards Andrew Dickeson

“I found Rosie enormously helpful in the marketing and selling of my property. In addition, she was generous and patient with her time, finding suitable properties for me to buy. I thoroughly recommend talking to her if you are considering buying or selling property”

Jonathan Crabbe

“We were  initially impressed with Rosie Houghton enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor when we hired her as a Real Estate agent. Rosie has an excellent communication skill, in addition, she is extremely organized, honest and never leave the customer before he/she is happy and satisfied. Rosie is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible and helpful in providing all the information we needed, she assisted us to find the right house that it fits to our budget. We highly recommend Rosie as an excellent Real Estate agent.”

Bruce and May Kassir

“Dear Rosie and Rose, Thank you for your time and effort in selling our house. It was an emotional time for both of us, recognising the money and time spent renovating our home. You were both professional with a personal touch, which made the experience enjoyable and comfortable. Rosie, thank you for your shoulder when I needed it, and Rose, thank you for your hard work in showing the home to your many clients. I am looking forward to sharing that bottle of champagne one day! Now we can move on and find a new home and we would appreciate your assistance in our search. Thanks again, we are very pleased we decided to go with Prestige. ”

Jenny & Brett Preston – Mairangi Bay

“I found the whole experience of dealing with Rosie & Rose excellent. They were into the open homes with gusto and after each weekend we had a meeting over coffee somewhere local where they gave me the run down on who, what and why questions and impressions and remarks that people were asking and putting forward etc. I found their communication excellent and when I reflect on the negotiations when they sold the property, well, their imput was invaluable to me in helping me make my decision. Very well done Rose & Rosie and I would galdly recommend you two ladies from Prestige for anyone contemplating selling.”

Mike Menzies Marine Inspections Ltd. – Takapuna

“I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to Rosie & Rose over the handling of the sale of our property. It has been a very long, arduous process for us and extremely stressful at times. Rosie & Rose have been extremely professional, kind and understanding during this time, and I couldn’t speak highly enough of them and the way they handled our situation.” Karen Fonogy- Narrow Neck “Thank you so much for all your help with the sale of our house and the auction process. You gave us great confidence and it was handled with professional flair and ease. The auction was very exciting and we were thrilled with the results. We will be pleased to recommend you to friends and family should the occasion arise. Best Wishes.”

Heather & Ross Gines – Torbay

“Selling your home, especially by auction, can be a bit overwhelming, stressful and a time of anxiety. Rosie and Rose’s empathetic approach and great communication skills made the sales process as stress free as possible. They helped show my home off to its best advantage and their excitement, passion and energy was palpable throughout the marketing and sales period. They truly seemed to care as much as I did.”

Jill Dryden – Milford

“We are pleased we engaged you to sell our Takapuna property. Both of you were always enthusiastic, open and professional and your “Team Approach” gave us a very successful result in a short time period. We would not hesitate to work with you again in the future.”

Helen and Peter Lory – Takapuna

“I had the pleasure of working with Rosie and Rose recently when we purchased our first house in over 15 years. We had been assured by friends that buying and selling was a very stressful process and I can assure you they were very wrong. Rosie and Rose were fantastic to work with and made the process incredibly easy. The way that they are able to engage with us as clients with very frank and honest dialogue along with an ability to be able to put us at ease was very reassuring given it had been a while since we had been through this process. The little things they did like offering to lend us their water blaster, along with tips to help us sell our house certainly left us feeling that they were on the journey with us.I would not hesitate to recommend this team and will be using them in the future if the opportunity arises.”

Leeanne Langridge – Air New Zealand Cabin Crew Manager

“We recently listed our property in Takapuna for sale with Rosie Houghton. Rosie came highly recommended and she lived up to all our expectations. Rosie worked tirelessly to achieve a sale. She gave us excellent feedback as to buyers’ reactions to our property and thoughtful advice as to how we might enhance its saleability. We found Rosie to be thoroughly professional, hard working and enthusiastic. Importantly, she is pleasant and approachable and genuinely wants to achieve an excellent result for her clients. We would thoroughly recommend Rosie Houghton to anyone wishing to sell or buy a property on the North Shore.”
