🍾 🥂 💐 Thank you Veronica & Robert. You represent the best of what a RE salesperson should be. Straight, no b/s, no ego. Working to secure an outcome resulting in happy buyers and happy vendors; all the while managing the process.

We recently purchased through Robert and Veronica and could not fault their performance. In every aspect of the process from guidance before the auction sale right through to moving in, they responded promptly and in a very professional manner. Definitely rate them 5 Star’s .

Thanks again for the work you put in to selling Nihill. Annabell and I really enjoyed working with you both and know we made a great choice in Agents.

Hope you both have a fabulous Christmas and look forward to catching up again in the New Year.

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Robert and Veronica to assist me in selling my home. When I met them they were warm and friendly and made me feel at ease. Everything from the initial conversation, signing up, photography, (which was amazing and will be a treasured memory of my well-loved home), marketing and working through a difficult time with the recession, then to the auction, was professional with the required empathy, patience and support I needed to get through the process. It was a great result for myself and the new owners. Thank you both for managing what could have been quite a difficult and emotional journey, making it smooth and achieving the result I needed to move into my new home. I would happily recommend Robert and Veronica to anyone. 10/10! Are you sure there isn’t an 11/10 option?!

Thank you, Robert and Veronica.

We greatly appreciate the job you did and that we have been able to achieve what we wanted, thanks to you both for finding the buyer. We appreciate the tenacity and drive that you brought to our side of the transaction, and that you worked in a very short space of time to get people through our place. I also appreciate your understanding of the other side of the transaction; securing one of Peter’s apartments.

Yes, there is always a bit of luck, but in reality, it is perseverance and approaching it in a thoroughly professional way that pays off. What I appreciated too was that you were out there ensuring that there was competition with the people you brought through. You may have had a general agency, but you treated it as if it was all yours and made sure there was activity in the market. I especially liked Robert’s social media video; it showed a commitment to creating interest and getting it sold.

Robert's expertise and understanding of the Eastern Bays market were invaluable in helping us find the perfect family home. His keen intuition and attentiveness ensured we remained informed and confident throughout the process.

Going above and beyond, Robert accommodated our busy schedules and made us feel like valued partners in the home-buying journey. His dedication, warm approach and genuine care for his clients set him apart.

We are thrilled with our dream home and wholeheartedly recommend Robert to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Eastern Bays area. Thank you, Robert, for making our dream a reality!

Our experience in working with Veronica and Robert was seamless. They were so friendly and just easy to get along with, yet maintained a high level of professionalism. When it came to negotiating, we found that they really knew how to navigate tricky situations well, which is key when you’re selling your property. They brought us an acceptable offer after the very first open home and then carried on to find us a property to buy all within the same week. One thing in particular we loved as well, was that they stayed in touch with us throughout the process even after they sold our home, to make sure we were all settled. To anyone who is thinking of selling their home and want a great team who knows how to connect with the market, we would recommend Veronica and Robert any day.

I can definitely recommend the team of Veronica Schoonraad and Robert Ballard, based on my experiences on a few occasions as vendor. Trustworthiness and hardworking ethics are some of their qualities as true professionals. I am also highly impressed by their vast local knowledge in the Eastern Bays area. This gave me great confidence that I was in safe hands to achieve the best results as vendor.

Would I use them again in my future real estate endeavours? Absolutely!

Thanks Veronica and Robert.

Veronica and Robert are one of the best teams in the Bays. Together they have sold several of my developments and have always managed to achieve a top price even through dips in the market. Over the years I have constantly relied on their honest advice regarding current property values and marketing strategies.

I highly recommend Veronica and Robert. I have always found their enthusiasm and work ethic to be second-to-none.

Veronica and Robert sold our much-loved home during a period when market conditions were slow and buyers were hard to find. However, with energy and determination they were successful and secured the right buyer at a price we were very happy with. Throughout the extended sale period they kept us fully informed and up-to-date with all that was going on.

We know we found the right team to market and sell our property. We do not hesitate to recommend their services and professionalism.

Veronica has been a really helpful salesperson. We are currently living overseas. Veronica has been using Wechat to contact us and also helped our lawyer to install the Wechat App and verified their new account so we could get our property sold and settled.

Thank you for your hard work Veronica.

"I highly recommend Veronica and Robert to anyone who is wanting to sell their property. The most important reason is not only Veronica and Robert's professional experience, strong communication skills, beautiful personalities, but also they think from client's point of view, then find perfect balance to make best outcome. For example, when Veronica came to see my house, she didn't push me to sign the contract or rush to the market. She gave me valuable suggestions which were good for my family. After the property was on market, Veronica and Robert were always contactable, kept me well-informed and everything went so smoothly. And of course, the result was very good. Four bidders at the auction, excellent price. I am lucky to have Veronica and Robert as my selling salespeople and I do appreciate their great help. They are trust worthy. I wish them all the best and highly recommend to other vendors."

A big thank you to Veronica and Robert at Barfoot & Thompson, who made our home buying process such a great experience.

Assure Build and Waterchild Developments have worked successfully with Veronica and Robert for many years now. They have incredible experience and knowledge of the Eastern bays. We know that we will receive very honest feedback and that they go beyond the call of duty to help us. Being highly networked has often been a critical component in finding the right person for a property. We have no hesitation in recommending both to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Bays and look forward to working with them in the future.

Robert has been of great help hunting a house for my daughters. I didn’t know much about Auckland and he went above and beyond to show me endless listings and took the time to explain the different areas of the city to me. We have seen apartments downtown, houses in Parnell, Mission Bay, Orakei, St Heliers, Glendowie and Wynyard Quarter; pretty much everywhere. I’ve bought through him and we are looking at more properties again. Robert and Veronica have shown top quality service from day one and they are both very humble people to work with. I'd recommend them any day of the week.

I’ve worked with Veronica and Robert over numerous projects and have found their professional approach and perseverance to getting the best outcome refreshing. Having two salespeople for the price of one is of real value.

".....The process of selling and purchasing a home is often a stressful one no matter how prepared or seasoned you are. Our personal experience was no different. We had already sold and were now looking for our new home for our growing family. With the thousands of salespeople all offering their services, it is hard to come across a duo that will not only come up with the goods, but more importantly, bend over backwards to get the result you need. Our dealings with Robert and Veronica were just that. We found the house we wanted but the true test was (and this is where they were outstanding), getting the deal across the line with the budget we had. Our questions were always answered. We always felt like they cared and had our back. They never gave up and we now have our new home. We could not be happier. We would recommend Robert and Veronica to anyone wanting salespeople who have more than just the bottom line in mind...."

When my wife and I bought a home through Veronica in St Heliers, we were very impressed with her frank, honest and open approach to the sale. So much so that, when it came time to move, we had no hesitation in asking Veronica and Robert to handle the sale. As the absolute Eastern Bays specialists, I could not recommend more highly this duo to maximize returns on a residential sale.
