It is my privilege to write a reference for Sonia Christison of Lodge Real Estate who has recently sold our home. We found Sonia to be well organised, reliable and trustworthy. At all times during the three weeks marketing she kept us informed and “in the picture”  and made herself free to help us if we needed advise. We would willingly recommend her to any prospective seller as someone who is caring, honest and fully focused on her job.  In summary we were very satisfied with her attention to detail.

Maureen & Graeme Matthews

We chose Sonia to market our home after meeting with several property agents and companies. We valued her professionalism, and personable straight forward approach, and we felt very confident of her ability to achive the goals we all set. Sonia carried us through the next three weeks of marketing, turning it into a stress free process. Ultimately we were delighted with the outcome and very thankful of Sonia's advice, hard work and passion.

I had heard that selling and buying a house is  one of the most stressful things you will do in your life . Well selling and buying through you as our agent was totally stress free .A huge thank you for the effort and professionalism you displayed in marketing the sale of our two properties and advising us through the purchase process of our new home .The sales results you achieved with our two properties was outstanding , with one property selling above listed price and the other achieving the highest ever sale price , by some margin , of any property in our street . Both property sales exceeded our expectations . Your fantastic level of communication kept us fully informed during the whole purchase and sale process so we were never in doubt about what was happening .The advice you gave us while purchasing our new home , which we are really enjoying, enabled us to buy what we believe is the best value home in the price range and area we were looking .You were a pleasure to deal with and we certainly would recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional agent .

Thank you, Glenn, for all your help in selling our home. From listing to unconditional sale in 10 days was great and took all the stress out of selling.

We cannot speak highly enough about Sonia. It was a real pleasure working with her, and if the opportunity to buy or sell in Hamilton ever arises again, we would have no hesitation in contacting Sonia and Glenn.

We are writing to convey our warm appreciation for the outstanding service that Sonia Christison and her partner Glenn Collins have provided in relation to the sale of our previous home and purchase of our new one in St James . . . we would highly recommend the partnership to either sellers or buyers of Real Estate.

Ron & Alison Reynolds

I cannot thank Glenn and Sonia enough for selling my home within 2 weeks of listing! Glenn & Sonia work hard for the vendor by ensuring you have the right marketing plan for your property, that you are kept informed regularly on progress and on matching the right potential buyers to the property. As a vendor you have a choice of which agents to use, prior to signing up with Glenn & Sonia, I spoke to another Real Estate Company, had I gone with them I would be down $30K. Great result from a great team.

Natasha

We were delighted to have Glenn sell our property for us. His advice was always sound and he had a great listening ear, along with the determination to achieve the results we expected. He kept us fully informed and up to date with progress and was always available. He has excellent negotiation skills and is a pleasure to do business with. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Jan and David Harrison

We wish to thank you for the assistance you have given to us to enable of this property to be enacted. You will understand the difficulty we experienced with another agency which showed very little movement and no prospect of a sale. Sonia coming to our assistance was like a breath of fresh air showing enthusiasm on our behalf and encouraging us when the dry patches came. You had real confidence that we should sell and such is the case. We have no hesitation in recommending you to those who are looking for a suitable agent to bring about a sale of their property.

Allan Tong

Glenn and Sonia were recommended to Graham and I by a work colleague, from start to finish they were professional, friendly and made the process of our house on the market stress free. Our house was on the market for only nine days and we sold for $25,000 more than we thought we could achieve. The best Real Estate agents we have ever worked with.

Graham and Leora Duggan

Sonia Christison and Glenn Collins were the Lodge Real Estate Agents for marketing and selling our family home in June 2014.Their service was highly professional and at all times informative and thorough. So much so that we were very satisfied with the successful results at Auction. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sonia and Glenn to any prospective vendors.

Sonia recently acted as our Agent for the sale of our home. She is one of the best Agents we have ever encountered. Her calm professional manner and excellent communication skills in keeping us up to date were truly appreciated. To top it off, within 2 weeks of listing our home she achieved an unconditional offer we happily accepted. We highly recommend putting your trust fully in Sonia when either selling or purchasing.

Sonia made what could have been a stressful time stress- free. I highly recommend Sonia to any prospective client.

Sharon

Just a quick note to say thank you very much again for your help and support with buying 5 Santiago and selling 60 Bramley. We absolutely love our new home and still pinch ourselves daily with the stunning view, extra space and all round awesomeness! We’re looking forward to firing up the gas fire in winter too. We appreciated the time you spent with us to really listen to what we were after and showing us all the relevant properties when we were looking for a new home. Your patience as we got out the tape measure and thoroughly looked at the detail was really appreciated. Your experience with our marketing strategy spoke for itself with the quick sale of 60 Bramley for a great price, making the jump up to the newer bigger home not too much of an issue. No doubt both properties have gone up in value since then in this crazy property market…!

Sharon

Sonia was fantastic to work with. I was hesitant about selling a house that I loved so much so it was not easy putting it on the market. Sonia was understanding of this and guided us through the process with care and commitment. She knew the market and area we were selling in extremely well and what method of selling would work best for us. We ended up selling at auction over what we expected. We especially appreciated the regular communication (I never wondered what was happening) and the updates after u every visit or open home. We always felt we had autonomy over the process. Thank you Sonia for your professionalism, warmth, positivity, and flexibility. We really appreciated it.

Mike and Louise Handley

Glenn was excellent to work with and made the sale of my home so easy in these very tough times. Kept me updated all the way. Thanks so much.

Rebecca

Sonia’s understanding of my requirements and also my ability re pricing and timing. Great experience.

Jack

Glenn and his team recently listed our Harrowfield home. Glenn was open, honest, knowledgeable and very professional at every step of the process. Glenn was always easily accessible and in regular contact with us. As a result of his outstanding knowledge and professionalism, our property sold in under a month and he was very much a key factor in getting us into our next property. We have no hesitation in recommending Glenn and his team when either selling or purchasing your property.

Colin & Vicky Downey

Glenn and Sonia were excellent to deal with, when selling our home. Their communication was great, Glenn gave valuable insight and pointers to help prepare the house for sale. Their approach to open homes and viewings was flexible and based around what suited the family. They never over promised but certainly over delivered. We would have no hesitation in recommending Glenn and Sonia.

Tony & Angela

10/10 for Sonia for her honesty professionalism and personal attention.

Ellen and Terrence

Hi Glenn, Thank you very much for all your fantastic help guiding us through the process of owning our home. This was very daunting for us, although exciting, without your assistance, humour and professionalism we may not have made this transition as easily. Please call to visit us at any time, always a welcome hand. Thank you very muchly.

The best part of my experience was having the real estate agent Glenn Collins and my family felt we had his trust to guide us through the process of house selling. With Glenn nothing was too much trouble and he followed through on all communications and details. Glenn was recommend through friends and I will highly recommend Glenn to others.

Have already recommended Sonia to a work colleague. She was/is very helpful and supportive.
