The reasons for listing this property were rather emotional all round. Sally met with us, read the room well and proceeded to deliver a service tailored to us and the situation. Sally's warmth, humour and overall excellent knowledge of the market in the area were really appreciated.
Being mainly Australian based we needed to deal with parts of the sale from afar. This posed no problem for Sally. All dealings went seamlessly, with excellent communication ahead of time.
Sally has a genuine honesty about her, she will answer the hard questions in an honest but compassionate way. As vendors based out of the area we really relied on this level of communication. It was such a help in understanding the market.
Under trying circumstances Sally has been a real pleasure to deal with, while in the background her market experience has shone through.

What an excellent agent Sally Blockley is. From woe to go she explained everything in simple terms and definitely went the extra mile in every aspect of the process. She has a great sense of humour and an infectious personality which certainly made it super easy to work with her. Would I recommend Sally. Most definitely. Well done Sally for selling my house in record time.
Sheryl Wilson
We knew that we were in capable hands from the start of our appraisal meeting with Sally when we were considering selling our home. Sally's knowledge of Greerton Real Estate was obviously top-notch, and her professionalism and marketing were impressive.
The selling process was seamless, and we also enjoyed Sally's enthusiasm and wonderful sense of humour along the way.
Sally exceeded our expectations in selling our house, the outcome was very pleasing, our stress levels minimal, and we highly recommend Sally Blockley to anyone looking at selling or buying a home.

When we decided to sell our house at 12 Knox Place, Greerton, our first question was who do we appoint as our agent? Having seen Sally's face on a lot of sold signs in the Greerton area over the years we decided to pop into the Eves office in Tauriko for a chat with her.
Right from the start we were impressed with her professionalism and enthusiasm. Within a couple of days she had met us at our home to present us with a detailed proposal and plan for the whole process. After signing up we very quickly moved into the open home situation every Sunday at 12.30pm. Feedback on the open homes were always fed back to us in a timely manner. When we failed to get any offers at the auction we felt a bit down, but Sally assured us that the next move of pricing our home on the market would attract a different type of potential buyer. This proved to be the case as we received a couple of firm offers after the very next open home. We accepted an offer which was subject to sale, but Sally recommended that we continue with the open homes and viewings on request in case there were other interested parties out there.
Within a couple of weeks we received a better offer from a cash buyer and this became the one which sold our home. The whole process took less than 3 months and we were very happy with the outcome. Sally's bubbly personality and expert knowledge of the market helped guide us through a pretty stressful period. We will always be grateful to Sally for the part she played in this process and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an agent to sell their property.

We had the pleasure of selling our home alongside Sally and the team at Eves.
We are writing to express our highest recommendation for Sally. Throughout the entire process, Sally exhibited exceptional skills and qualities that contributed to the positive outcome for us as home owners.
Sally's communication skills were outstanding. She promptly responded to any queries, and ensured that we were well-informed at every stage of the sale. Her ability to convey complex information in a clear and understandable manner was greatly appreciated.
Sally demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market and was able to provide valuable insights that helped guide our decisions.
We wholeheartedly recommend working alongside Sally.

Sally was an absolute delight to work with. It feels like having a friend that is working alongside you every step of the way. She is genuine, warm and really cares about her clients, pushing for the best outcome for both them selling and for us buying. Buying the property subject to sale could of been a long and stressful process, however sally made it a positive, exciting and enjoyable experience. She kept us updated throughout, was highly professional, respectful and was at the end of the phone whenever we had worries or questions. We have bought and sold a few houses over the years, dealt with dozens of real estate agents and sally is by far the very best we’ve met. She helped us stay upbeat, had a laugh here and there and made sure we stayed hopeful throughout the sale. We are now sitting pretty in our dream home and feeling very grateful to have had sally stand alongside us to help us get here. If anyone wants to sell their home we hold sally in top regard and would recommend her to everybody! She’s the type of real estate agent you want to invite back for a wine cause we will miss her now the process is over. Cheers sally, we can’t thank you enough!

Sally
I want to thank you so much for all the hard work you put into the sale of 108 Te Puna Quarry Road.
It’s never easy to sell a property with a tenant still living in the home let alone two tenants.
The whole experience went so smoothly with regular open homes and happy tenants. Your hard work, great communication and dedication to making it happen so smoothly for me.
The tenants loved you, I’ve loved having you make this a successful sale
Thanks so much Trish Fryett

Hey Sally just a quick note to say a huge thanks!
We are extremely grateful we stumbled upon a sign for a house for sale with your agent details. Coming from Taumarunui we had no contacts in the industry in Tauranga. I had approached 2 local realestate companies we have dealt with in the past despite their initial interest no further contact made or referrals to Tauranga Agents was forthcoming which was disappointing.
So Olivia and I went to look at a few properties with random agents with not much progress or support.
From the moment we made the first call to you, your service advise and assistance was second to none! Great knowledge and expertise was obvious, always happy to help and go the extra mile, it didn’t matter if they were eves listings or not the service was the same, showing great relationships with other agents and companies. Also working with our preferred building inspector from a list of recommendations provided by you.
It was a pleasure working with you and getting to know you and the fact you got to know us was extremely beneficial to the terrific outcome for us getting our daughter in to her own home. What a privilege for us being able to help her with that.
Farming is our thing not realestate but by surrounding ourselves with good people like you it made things much easier.
So once again thanks for sharing our journey and we would not hesitate to recommend or use you for any future realestate services.
All the best regards Tonia Dan and Olivia Richardson

We used Sally to sell our rental property in Greerton. We had a few challenges with our tenant but Sally was there to help us through the whole process. Her professional attitude and attention to detail was outstanding. If you are thinking of buying or selling we would highly recommend her.
Craig and Sue Ross
'We moved to Tauranga and didn't know anybody to help us with looking for rental property investments, with luck we stumbled across Sally who has been an absolute treasure to work with. She has kept us up to date with properties that would suit our investments and listened to the brief we gave her on what we were after, and delivered which was the most important. We weren't taken to properties that didn't fit the brief, only ones that ticked the boxes. There was also no pressure during the process which made the experience most pleasurable. Thanks again Sally you are our real estate agent from now on'.
Christine and Richie Weston
Reality has actually set in, and we are beyond ecstatic about our purchase for our young family and I actually didn't really get to thank you... so thank you so much, for me you made each week just that little bit more OK. I was way less stressed when I got off the phone with you and if we were to sell in the future ( not our plan) but I'd be aiming to have you as our agent!!! you're the best... keep doing you!!
Jackie & Jackson
'Working with Sally has been such a joy, we can't recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning Sally was invested in our long game and gave our property and our goals her complete attention and care. Throughout the process of selling, Sally's motivation was unwavering and was great at communicating with us. She was always flexible to find solutions when we needed it. She was more than accommodating to the challenges that come with selling with 2 small children, which made this process far more enjoyable for us. We feel like we got the best result, and without doubt would only list with Sally in future - Thanks Sally, we're thrilled.'
Kaye & Paul
We chose Sally because she was a local agent with extensive knowledge of the area. She was upfront, honest and super-efficient on all the admin tasks. She kept us regularly updated at every stage and we would strongly recommended Sally as your trusted agent.
W & K Austin
Sally was a delight.
After unsuccessfully trying to sell the house myself Sally made a sale in just four weeks. She had a lovely manner was always pleasant and enthusiastic and always did exactly what she said she would .She was always available and kept me up to date with everything going on. Thank you Sally you were worth every dollar.
Josie Parkin
We initially met Sally at an open home where she offered to come an appraise our house as we were considering selling. Sally inspected our home and was the first agent out of 5 who was able to give us a proper price guide for the potential sale of our house. We weren't quite ready at that stage but after a few months and non-invasive updates from Sally we listed with her. Sally was persistent and rang me every day with people wanting to inspect our home, which is exactly what we wanted! Within 7 days, Sally provided us with two lucrative offers and worked for us to negotiate the price we wanted.
During the marketing process, Sally answered all our queries promptly and provided extensive information about the current real estate market to ensure we were priced and marketed correctly.
We would absolutely list our home with Sally again and see no reason to change agents. She was always bright and bubbly and realistic about the market to ensure a quick and honest sale for us.
Robert & Rebecca Angell
I chose Sally from a Eves flyer that came in the mail. She was based around the same area as my property and figured that she would have great local knowledge. Sally was absolutely amazing to deal with. She made the whole process of going to auction painless and simple. She was in constant contact regarding any potential purchasers and how the process was tracking. She also organised to have the house staged as it was going to be empty for a number of weeks prior to the auction date. Without her advice and knowledge the sale may not have been as successful as it was. I would encourage anyone considering selling thir home to give Sally a call, you won't be disappointed.
Deane Rutherford
Sally is extremely lovely to deal with. She is realistic and supportive through the process of purchasing a home. She genuinely was interested and excited for us when purchasing our home
Kelly Hubert
Thank you Sally for your help and encouragement with the sale of our house.
We were impressed with the way you marketed it and how you kept us informed at every stage of the process.
Molly and Arnold Winterburn
Recently we were introduced to Sally during an open home we visited when trying to buy an investment property. We felt comfortable with Sally immediately with her warm and friendly personality
As we were under some time pressure, Sally made sure that we had information we needed quickly and efficiently which helped us in the end to secure the property under Auction.
We were very pleased with the whole process and can highly recommend Sally and Eves to anybody looking to buy or sell their property.
Craig and Chris McCulloch
Sally’s personal traits make her exceptional. She built up extremely strong relationships with her clients based on her straight up manner and always ensuring she delivered on what she promised. She went the extra mile for all her clients providing them with service they had not experienced previously.
She always made things happen, never taking a back seat and seeking new opportunities. I will always be one of Sally’s greatest supporters.
