Testimonials
Peter, Lisa and Myles Cleave each bring their own professional expertise to the team that is Team Cleave. We have known Peter and Lisa for many years, as they had sold a home for us previously, so we had no hesitation in selecting them a second time. We appreciated the respect they showed us in believing in our property and felt at all times they were acting in our best interest, being honest and open, yet professional regarding potential purchasers. We were impressed by the professionalism within the UP office too. They gave constructive feedback after each viewing. We recommend Lisa, Peter and Myles Cleave as agents because of their open honesty, professionalism, communication skills, and ability to effect a sale. Aside from that they are genuinely caring people. Mark & Karen-
After making the decision to sell the next most important decision is the appointment of the agent. What was key to us was identifying an agent that could demonstrate superior results in our local beachside market, but with a broader track record across nearby suburbs of Remuera, Epsom and Parnell. We wanted an agent that recognises value and their thinking is not be constrained by the price achieved in the last “local” sale. This is especially important when dealing with higher priced and more unique properties, as the buyer can come from anywhere. The other important feature we discovered was the strength in having the 3 members on the team. Peter, with his experience, Lisa-super efficient & organised and Myles, who can connect to the younger buyers. Needless to say we picked the right agents; the assistance in helping to prepare the house, the the professionalism and the result they achieved. Lisa and Andrew-
We had met the Cleaves a number of times over the years at open homes and had always been impressed by their professionalism and how they personally interact with buyers. When we decided to sell our family home, we knew the Cleaves would be the best people for the job - and we were proven right. They are quite simply, exceptional. The Cleaves work fantastically both as individuals and as a team, and we felt fully supported by them at all times. The auction process itself was managed expertly with full support from the UP team. Lisa, Myles and Peter were fantastic at engaging and informing buyers throughout the auction process, with a fantastic result on the day. The reporting and availability to get updates was excellent and always forthcoming. They always made themselves available to us, giving us their time to answer any questions we had, or just to chat through the process in general. The entire UP Realty office style and approach was excellent. Heather & David-
Over the last ten years we have bought and sold three properties with Peter Cleave. We had no hesitation in working with Peter again for the recent sale of our home in Mission Bay. Peter, Lisa and Myles are a great team. They are experienced, calm, and very thorough. They only brought prequalified, genuine buyers looking to purchase a property at the top end of the market and those that could work with our settlement requirements. We were kept well informed throughout the process and had an unconditional sale within two weeks of listing. Over the years we have recommended them to numerous acquaintances and would definitely choose to work with Peter, Lisa and Myles in the future. Paul and Kirsten-
