Testimonials
Arita is the absolute best! From the first time I met Arita at an open home, her warmth, knowledge and professionalism has been abundantly present. Since signing with Arita and placing my home on the market, Arita has been patient, diligent and keenly involved with all aspects of getting my house ready for sale, including helpfully nudging me along to make sure all the odd jobs are completed and ensuring the photography showcases the home's most desirable features. From the outset, Arita had been an absolute pleasure in selling my home and helping me acquire a new home that suited my needs. Despite being relatively new to the industry, Arita has carried her strong communication skills and attention to detail from her previous career into her current work, and has found a role that perfectly suits her strengths. I am happy to recommend Arita to any home owners who are looking to sell in the Blenheim, Marlborough region.- Heather (Seller)
Awesome Arita! Arita was incredibly easy to deal with. She communicated clearly & answered any questions we had. I would not hesitate in recommending Arita for any future property sale or purchase.- Regan & Megan (Buyer)
Above and Beyond We met Arita when she was selling the property we were looking to purchase. We decided to list our property with her simply for ease, but we have no regrets. Although relatively new to the industry, Arita was everything we could have asked for in an agent. Her communication was clear throughout, and she went above and beyond to answer any queries and remedy any issues that arose. She helped to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. We would happily recommend Arita to anyone looking to sell their property. (Verified by RateMyAgent)- Leah & Ben (sellers)
