From our very first meeting with Grant and Deborah we felt confident we had picked the right team to be the ones to take our home to the market. They are a very experienced and extremely hard-working team who have a strong focus on getting the very best result for their client. Their invitation to take us to meet their sales team at the Bayleys office in Frankton made us feel that Bayleys had a collective approach to get the very best result. The whole process from signing up our listing, through the marketing package with exceptional photography, and the path towards the auction was seamless and smooth due to their very professional standards and experience in the Queenstown market. They were soon presenting us with a very good pre-auction offer which we accepted, and this resulted in bringing the auction forward, which culminated in a sales result well beyond our expectations. Our sincere thanks to Grant and Deborah, and the Sales Team at Bayleys for guiding us through the sales process and making this happen.
We have known Grant for over 20 years as a friend and we purchased our Queenstown property through him 9 years ago. We trusted Grant's recommendation to put our house up for auction. He kept in regular contact throughout the entire sale process and was very thorough and professional. The auction was an enjoyable experience with a very positive outcome - loved hearing the sound of the hammer followed by ‘Sold'. We would highly recommended Grant to anyone thinking of selling or purchasing in the Queenstown District as his knowledge and experience is outstanding.
I have known and admired Grant & Deborah Coburn’s selling skills for many years, so they were in the top list of agents we considered to sell our Sunshine Bay house. I have been involved in selling and marketing real estate in New Zealand and overseas for 30 plus years, so I had very high expectations of both their marketing and selling skills. Because our property was so difficult to value, we wanted to take it to auction. Given Bayleys' and Grant & Deborah’s track record of success with auctions, we felt confident with our decision. We were not disappointed. We felt the couple, plus their supporting team, were working for us at all times. There was no pressure, except what we put on ourselves. We would definitely recommend and use them again.
It was nearly 5 years ago that Grant started to look after all of our selling & buying property issues in Queenstown. Apart from his vast experience and local knowledge, his one step ahead attitude, caring for the clients matters, makes him an outstanding agent. That is why Grant has been our real estate agent of choice for the last few years. In our recent sales in Covid lockdown situation, we had received the first pre-auction offer on the very first few days of marketing which we accepted. Especially as Deborah joined him recently, we are pretty sure the clients’ satisfaction will be met very highly. We confidently recommend others who are buying or selling in Queenstown to contact this fantastic couple
Grant and Deborah recently sold my unit in Queenstown, which was tenanted and with me not being in Queenstown either, that made no difference at all as nothing was a problem for them. Every step of the way their communication with me was incredible. They also dealt directly with my property manager, which was one less thing for me to deal with, so it all flowed seamlessly. They were a fantastic team to work with, thank you for all your hard work, much appreciated indeed!
Grant’s professionalism, current market knowledge and honesty was absolutely outstanding. His communication with me throughout the process of selling our house was second to none. He listened and proved nothing was a problem. I appreciate the efforts that was put into marketing our apartment. I wholeheartedly recommend Grant to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you!
I was thrilled to bits this morning! Is well beyond my expectation. If not for your recommendation of an auction, I wouldn’t be this happy today. I want to say a big thank you to you and Deborah for all your hard work, effort and time spent behind the scenes. Also, much thanks to Natalie and Stacy. Such a great team you have at Bayleys. Certainly you and your company deserves a thumbs up from me.
We were immediately impressed with Grant’s focus on properly marketing our home, the timing, assessing the current market and structuring the right advertising package. The virtual video tour and schematic floor plan was worth the investment in reaching our buyers who were an Australian family. Grant put the time into evaluating the best approach for our property whilst taking into consideration our expectations and time frame. Grant has a great energy and enthusiasm for selling properties, his many years of real estate experience in Queenstown and being a Bayleys top performer gave us immense confidence. Communication was excellent, he was always available for a chat, to discuss progress and to advise us on the pre-auction offer through to auction day. We achieved a great result. A pre-auction offer after only one week on the market and our auction brought forward. This exceeded our expectations. Working with Grant and the Bayleys team was professional and impressive, we highly recommend Grant to any Vendor wanting sound advice on selling their property.
We’ve known Grant for over five years since we first purchased a property he had listed. When it came time to sell, Grant was our automatic first choice. Beyond Grants experience and knowledge of the market in the Queenstown region – which is second to none, he is without doubt the hardest working agent I have ever dealt with. He works tirelessly to keep both buyers and sellers completely informed at all times. Grant is a genuinely great listener who really takes the time to understand the needs of his clients. Grant put together a comprehensive marketing program for our recent sale which delivered amazing results. We couldn’t recommend Grant more highly to anyone looking to purchase or to list their property in the Queenstown area. He’ll take great care of you.
Easy to deal with Grant and a good result.
Speed in getting a buyer and efficient. Thank you very much.
