THE NAME THAT KEEPS COMING UP!

"We chose Nic Blackie at Custom Residential because her name kept coming up in conversations with neighbours and friends in the area. She is highly regarded and we soon found out why.

Nic is professional but approachable. She has intimate knowledge of the area, its surrounds and its market.

For sure we asked many simple and probably naive questions but Nic indulged us with her patient explanations every time. Her information and feedback was always timely and honest. Above all, we felt we could trust her and that we were in good hands.

It was also a nice to see Nic’s management and colleagues there at auction day supporting her and us in our moment of truth.

I can’t thank Nic enough for guiding us through it all with a very good result. When we’re ready to purchase another home, we’ll be calling Nic Blackie."

Being of the loosely defined ‘demographic’ of Grey Lynn; educated, 20-40 professional often with a young family, partial to a wine certainly helps Nic relate on the level to the area residents but really her honest, direct and focused approach is what continues to gather support and is resoundingly endorsed both past vendors and buyers. Not about fluff and more about good honest hard work, Nic is less than impressed with her own efforts unless she is producing consistently much better than average results.

IN GOOD HANDS

Both buying and selling Real Estate is a mind bender. Stressful and a sure precursor for a sleepless night or two. That is exactly when you need to know you are in good hands. Having the job well taken care of is half the battle and knowing you have a proven achiever looking after your property sale or search is key. 

Being much better than average is what people continually say defines Nic as a new breed of agent - lifting the bar and listening to clients ideas but having the confidence and belief in her proven methods to offer good solid guidance where required. 

2009 Marketer of the Year, Rookie of the Year & number 2 Sales Agent of the Year. 

Nic knows the Grey Lynn market and knows the value in it.  A clear cut professional in Grey Lynn Real Estate.
 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
ABOUT NIC BLACKIE:

CUSTOM RESIDENTIAL MAY NOT BE THE BIGGEST BUT THEY GO THE FURTHEST

The team at Custom residential went over and above for the sale of my properties. I live overseas and so they willing offered to do many things that an owner would normally do. I can't speak highly enough of the efforts they went to, to get the end result. Custom Residential may not be the biggest but they go the furthest.

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NIC BLACKIE AND CUSTOM RESIDENTIAL TO ANYONE

14 April 2010

Nic managed the sale of my property in a professional and straight up manner.  Within two weeks of commissioning her services I received two excellent offers.  With Nic’s assistance liaising between varying legal parties, the purchasers and myself she helped make what could have been a difficult sale go unconditional very quickly.  Nic listened to what I needed from the sale and my circumstances and worked hard to provide me with the result I had asked for. 

I would highly recommend Nic Blackie and Custom Residential to anyone who is looking to sell their home as they know their market, are approachable, sincere and results driven.

PROFESSIONAL BUT APROACHABLE
AND WITH INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE

As first-time home sellers we were apprehensive about the whole process of selling our home, especially because it was a home that had been in the family for over 40 years.

We chose Nic Blackie at Custom Residential because her name kept coming up in conversations with neighbours and friends in the area. She is highly regarded and we soon found out why.

Nic is professional but approachable. She has intimate knowledge of the area, its surrounds and its market.

For sure we asked many simple and probably naive questions but Nic indulged us with her patient explanations every time. Her information and feedback was always timely and honest. Above all, we felt we could trust her and that we were in good hands.

It was also a nice to see Nic’s management and colleagues there at auction day supporting her and us in our moment of truth.

I can’t thank Nic enough for guiding us through it all with a very good result. When we’re ready to purchase another home, we’ll be calling Nic Blackie.

We wish Nic and the team at Custom Residential all the very best.

WITH YOUR HELP WE JUST GOT ON WITH IT

"Nic, I thank you very much for helping us to sell our home so promptly. I really appreciate the way that you went about dealing with us because we are quite private people and extremely busy and you supported us in that very well. With your help we limited the drama and just got on with it.

The mowing of our lawns for the photo shoot really sealed it for me as to knowing that you were the right person who deserved to be selling our home. I will recommend you to anyone who asks, of course and know that you are going to do extremely well."

DECIDING ON THE RIGHT AGENT WAS SERIOUS BUSINESS FOR US

"Deciding on the right agent to sell our renovated Grey Lynn villa was serious business for us. After much research what tipped the scale was not only were Nic and John successful in the area and professional in their approach, they were genuinely good people! We could see they appreciated the blood sweat and tears that had gone into making the property what it was.

We often saw Nic working around the area and while always friendly and available to talk, she gave us the space we wanted to finish the project- further cementing in our minds her priorities laid with doing what was best for us. 

Throughout the whole marketing process Nic and John were extremely professional, approachable and diligent in their follow up something strongly supported by our friends and family who quietly viewed the property throughout the period. We were very impressed with the effort and quality work they produced culminating in a huge auction day and a great result for us. 

We are now able to move on to our next project and highly recommend Nic and John to any vendor who seeks an agent prepared to do the hard work, cover all bases and drive hard to achieve the best possible result for the homeowner."

H.H. - Grey Lynn

COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER OUTCOME

"Nic, thanks again for all your hard work and efforts over these past weeks and especially today. It's all quite surreal and we still can't quite believe it, as it's all happened so quickly and without any stress. I don't think we could have asked for a better outcome really, the approach and strategies you put in place were perfect. Mum just got the best Mother's day present ever!"

S.T. - Grey Lynn

"On a personal note, I wanted to convey how refreshing I found your approach to this whole process: you and your team were not only thoroughly professional, but also extremely nice people who I felt genuinely cared about our needs."
