This was achieved by Chris's calm and diligent approach. We were constantly kept in touch beyond expectations. His knowledge of the market was most reassuring and correct. Finally both of us were rewarded with a sale price well above expectation. We have no hesitation in recommending Chris Royal as your marketing agent . As a vendor you will have no regrets.

Ian and Pam Fox

 

Right from the get-go we were impressed with Chris as he answered our phone call on a Sunday night during the Christmas holiday break! Together Chris and Cheryl are a formidable team whom I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone considering selling their property. They are knowledgeable, organized, approachable, and honest and show a huge amount of professional and personal integrity. We could not have wished for a more successful result come auction day and cannot thank Chris and Cheryl enough for their commitment to what proved to be a 'crazy-busy' campaign!

Richard & Karen Lowe

 

I was referred to Chris via an extended family member and he came through with flying colours! I was constantly updated on all aspects around listing my property right down to the quality of the photos. During a lull in the market for my type of property, Chris assured me and helped me re-focus and believe my property was a goodie. And he was right!

Karen Bloxham

 

Chris Royal acted for my wife and I when we listed our home for sale. We found Chris' advice to be very well balanced, the information he provided accurate and the identification of potential purchasers informed. He knew his clients and he knew the type of property they were wishing to locate. He is prepared to inconvenience himself for the convenience of others and is a skilled negotiator. I would recommend him to anyone as a skilled real estate agent.

Over the years we have purchased many properties in Tauranga for ourselves and our family, each time buying with Chris Royal. We have gone through the process of selling these properties over the last couple of years once again using Chris Royal and Eves Realty, the latest being our own home which we decided to sell by Auction. Our home was sold well above reserve in the auction room under the hammer. We have always been very happy with the advice Chris has given and the integrity shown to achieve the outcomes we desired. We would have no hesitation recommending Chris Royal to anyone considering purchasing or selling.

From our first meeting my wife and I had to discuss the sale of our house I was impressed with Chris' direct and professional approach. He promised he would give us 100% effort and this is exactly what we received. We appreciated Chris' commitment to keep us in the loop from a communication point of view and never felt left out of what was happening. I will be recommending Chris to both friends and my own clients.

H O Cooney, Partner Cooney Lees Morgan

 

This is a market that is fairly tough for vendors, particularly of apartments. In that context, the amount of time taken to close a sale and the price achieved, was an outcome I am very pleased with. You got us good value for our marketing spend and kept us well informed of progress which gave me confidence that if there was a buyer out there, you would locate them and reel them in. For me you are batting 2 from 2 so I will have no hesitation in calling on your services again.

You kept us constantly aware of our situation relative to "Open Homes" and individual viewings. The market was difficult but you persevered and succeeded.

We would like to record our appreciation of the excellent service you gave us selling our property.

In addition your pleasant, friendly manner eased the stress associated with selling one's home.

As well as Chris' professional approach, I feel a couple of key factors leading to our sale were Chris' ability to study and survey the market and make necessary adjustments to stay ahead of our opposition. Also very important to me was the continual contact between Chris and ourselves
