WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT JOHN WILLS:

ACHIEVED A RESULT THAT WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH

“We made the decision to list with John as he talked to us about people and the way they buy houses, not about himself, and throughout the process he continued to demonstrate his understanding of this. 

He was easy to deal with, did everything he said he’d do and most importantly, achieved a result that we are very happy with. We found ourselves in a position of having to make a big decision about accepting an offer pre-auction or waiting for the auction to run. We needed John’s advice and we trusted him to guide us in the right direction. 

John’s level of experience, professionalism and communication made the process easy for us. He’s totally dedicated to the job and when we sent him away to go and get more money on a Saturday night, he got it.”
S.R. Ponsonby

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Thank you for your call (this evening) to advise that I was the successful purchaser, and for keeping me informed and updated throughout all of this process. In my past experience as a buyer, I’ve not come across an agent who thinks to keep the buyer as much in the loop as their vendor. These kinds of principles are a breath of fresh air in the industry and I guess what set Custom apart from its competitors. It helps anxiety levels when an agent just phones.

J. C. - Ponsonby resident

OPEN AND DOWN-TO-EARTH

"We interviewed a number of local agents and our decision to use John was based on his open and down-to-earth approach and the consistently good results that he had achieved with what we considered to be the lion’s share of the sales in the area.

John achieved a great price and continued to be responsive and helpful following the sale." Rachel and Luke

PROVEN LOCAL SPECIALIST

"I listed with John Wills at Custom Residential because he is a proven local specialist. To date he has sold 6 of my properties (all local) and has achieved great results.

We had 52 groups view the property on the first weekend of open homes and John presented me with an unconditional offer straight after the weekend. Prior to that, he had bought buyers to the property on Christmas Eve and right through the holiday period while I was away.

John is easy to deal with and serious about achieving the best result he can.

I'd recommend him to anyone in the local area." P.L., January 2009

PASSION AND PRAGMATISM

"As a residential real estate investor, I have dealt with many real estate agents over the years.

John Wills and the extended team at Custom did an outstanding job for me, even before the word "go".

John impressed me with his passion, his (positive) energy and pragmatism, the latter a rare occurrence amongst most real estate agents, as well as his ‘hunger' to be able to represent and sell my properties.

Within a time frame of 4 weeks the (multiple) properties were marketed by John Wills and Nic Blackie AND sold on the same day via auction in March ‘09!

The next time I sell another of my properties I will most certainly give John & the Custom Residential Team ‘first right of refusal'..."

HONEST, RELIABLE AND TOTALLY COMMITTED

"I chose John Wills at Custom Residential because he has a reputation for being honest, reliable and totally committed to his job.

When he marketed and sold my Schofield Street property recently, this is exactly how I found him to be.

I was staggered when he created a multi-offer situation and presented me with 5 individual offers at 9.30 on a Tuesday night.

We negotiated with the best one and had a contract by 10.30 that same evening.

I really felt that John had my best interests at heart and I would definitely use him again." P.B., February 2009
