Tony went above and beyond to ensure that my property was marketed to the right audience and was able to secure a sale in a timely and satisfactory manner. He was able to negotiate a great price for my property, which exceeded my expectations. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Tony Watts as a real estate agent to anyone looking to sell or buy property. His passion for the industry and his commitment to his clients are second to none, and I would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

After having a bad experience with another agency, I was lucky to have Darling Agency for almost two years. My property manager, Christine Manning, was always helpful, professional, and easy to contact. She responded quickly to my emails and provided great support throughout the contract transfer process. I truly appreciated her communication and attention to detail. Overall, my experience with Darling Agency was fantastic, and I couldn't be happier with their service. They are the best in Dunedin!

I have rented with Darling Realty with Christine Manning as agent looking after our apartment. Easily one of my besting renting experience. Professional and reliable from prior to commencing rent, during (easily contacted, always emails/messages for any changes or flat check, flexible with what can be done to apartment) and even when moving out of apartment. The apartment was well looked after prior to us moving as well. The other staff at darling realty were always helpful and nice whenever Christine was away.

We engaged Nicola Merrett of Century 21 real estate to market the sale of our property. It was a small relocated home with a warm disposition and easy care section. Nicola's read on the market, knowledge and eye for detail added significant value to our project. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola to anyone looking for an agent that will listen to their position and tailor the sale to meet the requirements of the seller.

Well groomed, efficient, self motivated, punctual and flexible enough to adapt to any given situation to advantage her client. Nicola proved herself very capable under pressure. She displays a natural ability in marketing positively without aggressive, off putting pushiness which some people portray as their sales strength. I have no hesitation in recommending Nicola to any person who has the foresight to employ her and I feel sure that you will find her to be an invaluable asset.

If you are wanting to buy a home or sell one, then Nicola Merrett would definitely be the agent that you would want to work for you. Nicola worked for us when we were selling a prestige home, and went the extra miles to find a beautiful home for us to move into, we found her to have great repore, respect for our wishes, and a fun attitude. If and when we decide to sell again Nicola would be the only person that we would deal with as we were so pleased with all her responses.
