I was extremely impressed by the thoroughness of the preparation and advertising before the auction, and totally blown away with Martin's patience during the auction.

Erica Clyde July 2012

Liz and George Goldsworthy April 2011
"I was amazed that Martin had an unconditional offer only 2 weeks after taking on the property. The property was listed with another agency for 3 months, in which time I got NO offers. Martin taking over selling the property was the best decision I made. He said he would sell it quickly and he did. Martin showed brilliant enthusiasm to get the property sold. Well done team, Great job, THANKS."
Trevor Whitmore June 2011
"We were very impressed with Martin's commitment to obtaining the best price for our property and the high level of professionalism he and his team displayed at all times.

Victoria and Gavin De Lange July 2011
"From our first meeting with Martin we were both impressed with his enthusiasm. After 3 weeks we sold at auction. Prior to seeing Martin we had tried to sell our property very unsuccessfully through another Agency so needless to say we were both a little gun shy. Martin has changed our perspective and we will definitely use him again. Thanks to the entire team for all your help."
Linda and Miriama Herceg July 2011

Grant Simpson March 2011
"Martin impressed us when we met him several months earlier. He clearly had the gift of selling, but in a friendly and relaxed manner that we found comfortable.

With a minimum of fuss he achieved an excellent result for us in just three weeks. We will definitely use him again."
Simon John and Alex McHaffie April 2011
"Martin gave us a completely honest opinion on what needed to be done to our home to maximise its selling potential and the proof is in getting an unconditional sale within 2 days of the first open home weekend. Thanks for all your hard work Martin, this is the second time I have dealt with you and I trust it won't be the last. I will highly recommend you to friends and family as someone who gets results!"

Dave and Sue Hewitt April 2011

Brent Fabish 2009
"If it hadn't been for Martin we would still be here! With Martin we were able to visualize the transistion and take it out of the 'too hard basket'. Martin's contacts and his own extensive knowledge and experience of not just the sales side but the logistical side of selling up and moving was a great motivating factor. The administration side was handled professionally and efficiently and we had every confidence that our potential buyers were being handled with care."
Fayne and Emmett Myers Nov 2010
"From the vast array of agents eager to take on property listings it's largely a chance factor, I took it with Martin Honey. Straight forward, practical, sound advice and action - how often is a property sold on Christmas Day!! And then flick in the benefits he offers. I took the chance you don't need to, just do it with Martin."
Peter Lucas Dec 2010
"We chose to use Martin as our agent because of the obvious success he had in the local area as well as the very professional way he approached the business of selling houses. His marketing of our home drew large numbers of viewers through the open homes. We found Martin to be just as passionate about our house as we were. He made the whole house selling process fun and exciting rather than daunting and stressful. Together with Stephanie, they make a remarkable team."
Glen & Betz May 2010
"Dear Martin, firstly, we wanted to thank you and your team for making the sale of 124 Grey Street as low stress as this process can possibly be. The passion and enthusiasm for what you do certainly gave us confidence that we could sell our property in quick time, which is exactly what transpired. From listing to settlement - 5 weeks! The direction you set and followed could not have been more straight forward and we ended the process with a price that was fair to both us and the purchaser."
Kelly and Krystina Smith May 2010
"We found Martin to be very professional and to take things in hand for us so we have not had to worry at all... He had very short notice from us to list the property and Martin impressed us when we met him several months earlier. He clearly had the gift of selling, but in a friendly and relaxed manner that we found comfortable. ith a minimum of fuss he achieved an excellent result for us in just three weeks. We will definitely use him again."
Leigh van Rixel June 2010
"If you are selling or purchasing property, I can recommend Martin Honey. Martin is a registered auctioneer and conducted the auction of my house...The whole conduct of the auction and the outcome was very satisfactory. I found Martin had a very good knowledge of the market and produced a good marketing plan. He was highly competent in his dealings with me and my prospective clients and he was assiduous in following up those who had shown interest."
Patricia O'Connor Sept 2010
"We chose the wrong people ... we were required to sell up fast & we choose the wrong people! We wasted hundreds of hrs of personal time, lost $8,000 in wasted advertising, and four months of pain. Being introduced to Mr Honey was a 'GOD SEND', he is a man that has a natural gift & passion to sell houses. For too many reasons to write, Mr Honey's strategies were miles above others. If you are in 'a need to sell situation' like we were, if you wish feel free to call regarding the many significant differences we found Martin offered."
Stacee Harris Oct 2010
"Just a quick note from Dave and I to say thank you very much to you and your team for the time and effort you put into marketing our property. We are really happy with the result you achieved and will certainly recommend you to anyone thinking of selling their property."
Dave & Monique Hamlin Feb 2010
"For a first time home seller and one who currently resides offshore, a potentially difficult process was made all the more easy through your professionalism and focus to the cause. I was particularly pleased with the marketing aspect of the sale, including the printed brochures/flyers which looked very sharp and professional."
Chris Waters Feb 2010
"Thank you for all you efforts selling our rental house in Onehunga. It wasn't the first time we had tried to sell it and we were a little nervous about the possible outcome. Martin, you reassured us throughout that it would sell and low and behold it did a couple if days after our auction - who said houses don't sell in Easter weekend! Thanks so much to you for all the effort in getting the job done and thanks to Steph as well for keeping me calm throughout the process."
Michelle and Mike Lambert May 2010

"Recently I decided to sell my home and contacted Martin Honey to be my agent, his presence in the area I lived was my initial reason for contacting him, his energy and passion for selling was the deciding factor in signing up with Martin's agency."

"On Martin's advise I spent a couple of weeks refreshing my property and made the decision to employ a staging company to dress my house (as it was empty of furniture), at first this seemed like a big investment and did take a bit of thought but it really was the best decision I made. Dressing the property allowed prospective buyers to see it at its best, it created a real sense of excitement."

"My property was only on the market for three days and in that time Martin bought 7 offers to me to consider. An exceptional result in my opinion and was only possible due to the energy and advise of Martin and his team."


"Martin was very professional and helpful with regards to the sale of our home. We were pleased that the reserve price we set on the property was realistic and at no point were we under any illusions about what our home may achieve at auction. As a result we were very happy with the outcome which exceeded pre-auction offers and Martins experience and extensive customer contacts no doubt greatly assisted the successful sale. "
Heath & Bernie Burgoyne, Vendors 62 Paihia Rd, March 2010

"My husband and I have known Martin for the past 10 years and in that time we have been so impressed with the service he provides that we have sold two homes through Martin and purchased two homes through Martin. We have also recommended him to family members and Martin has sold a home on behalf of my parents. "

" Martin is enthusiastic and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. He provides sound advice on marketing strategies and as an added bonus has allowed us to use his truck to move furniture from one home to another. "
K & P Amiatu

"We first met Martin Honey in 2002 when he sold our first home in less than a week for more than we expected. We were impressed. He was the logical choice when selling our latest home just recently. His professionalism has always impressed us and the huge network of buyers and sellers he has relationships with has always proved a huge asset for us when choosing him as a real estate agent. The 'Martin Honey Machine', as we have always affectionately called it, didn't let us down when we sold our much loved Amaru Road home in June. Martin sold our latest home in least than a week for more than we expected , once again! Martin knows the Onehunga area better than anyone else we have seen, knows real estate business like the back of his hand, and works impressively with potential buyers and of course ourselves, the vendors. It is amazing what happens when you have a real estate agent who knows what he is doing. Thanks Martin! "
Sarah and Andy Brown

" We recently sold our house through Martin, after buying it through him 9 years ago. We had no hesitation listing with Martin as we found him great to deal with originally. He truly listened to what we wanted in a home and has kept in touch over the years. "

"Again, we weren't disappointed with Martin's thorough and professional approach. He has extensive knowledge of the area and knew exactly how to best market our home. "

"We would recommend Martin to anyone looking for excellent service and results. "
Karyn & Kelsen Butler

"We had previously tried to sell the house on Trademe with lots of hits on the website to view the property, but no response. We went with Team Martin Honey as they are very well known and have a proven track record in the area. "

" We found Team Martin Honey to be professional, punctual, and organised. They kept us well informed and in the picture with weekly written reports and daily update as to who was viewing and who expressed an interest. "

" The Team were happy to include the idiosyncrasies that we felt were important to the sale of the property. The team approach was very successful as we found them to be efficient and prompt in responding to our queries. "

" Once the negotiation was over and the sale was made, the added bonus of being able to use the removal truck was an asset and proof of the team going the extra mile with service. "
C Russell & T Dolman

"Based on previous experiences that found the majority of real estate agents to be of dubious ability, I had a pre-conceived opinion of real estate agents in general, that was fair to say was not at all flattering to that profession. "

" With Team Martin honey I couldn't have been more wrong. Martin is a smart and very skilled real estate agent, clearly at the peak of his profession. Well thought out sales strategies, good advice, well managed open homes and great communication combined to result in a sale prior to auction with a very short settlement. "
G & L Bradford

"I met Martin Honey at an open home while looking for a house. He was very helpful and patient and spent a long time showing me around houses. Martin was not at all pushy and let me make up my own mind. Martin sold my house in Fern Ave, Epsom and also found me one to buy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Martin to anybody who was looking to buy or sell a house."
J Wells

"The limit for purchase and the need by sale were very restrictive areas for me as I sought the invaluable assistance of Mr Martin Honey. Undaunted by these odds, he gave his hand with the confidence born of experience and integrity"
J Ratnasabapathy.

"I asked advice from friends who have been active in the market recently, and they all came back with the same recommendation , Martin Honey. However, as you will probably also do, I invited a number of other agents to present their plans to me. With the exception of Martin, very few had any record of recent sales success in my area, and most seemed to think I would be swayed by the fact that they could keep advertising costs to a minimum"."The scene on the day was un-believable (I'm sure Martin will show you some photos)! It seemed that most of Auckland wanted to buy my house! The high number of bidders meant that bidding quickly went beyond the reserve (which I had thought might have been at the upper end of expectations anyway) to a price that left me a bit dumb-struck!"Do yourself a favour, listen to the others for comparison's sake if you like, but in the end, go with Martin Honey".
M Brick

"We would like to say a huge thank you for such a professional, fast and exceptional service you provided in selling our much loved home. We appreciated your honest advice when we received a cash/private sale offer and your acceptance of our challenge of having one week to sell our property for more, with no time for marketing. Not only did you sell our home within three days, you presented offers that were more than what we expected. Our primary offer that we accepted blew us away, we were stunned that you could get so much for our home in such little time. You also seemed to thrive under the challenge which was great. We are absolutely delighted!   We can't say enough great things about our experience with you. You certainly exceeded our expectations and for that we are very appreciative."
S and A Brown

"Although we were concerned with the quiet residential property market and the speed at which we required a sale, Martin was able to use his understanding of market conditions in order to recommend an excellent sales strategy which lead to a very favourable deal within just ten days."
G & D Cooper

"We were made comfortable from the outset by your friendliness, frankness and your untiring efforts on our behalf. This was epitomized in the result that was achieved at the auction, even though we and our family had reservations about this method. Nevertheless the proof of the system was that we fully achieved our financial expectations in less than thirty minutes after four weeks of committed marketing."
P & C Jew

"He possesses sound market knowledge, based on practical experience and has the initiative and ability to use his knowledge to satisfy clients' real estate requirements. His comprehensive knowledge of related services adds to the success of this professional approach. He offers information to his clients to guide them in finding the most appropriate solution for their needs; I found Martin's opinions in financial matters very beneficial"
G Tremain-Boon

"We would have no reservation in recommending both yourself and REMAX to other prospective vendors. Thank you for a good result achieved through auction."
S and M Nicholson

"After marketing my property for only twelve days Martin presented me with an unconditional cash offer for the sale of my property."
EM Carrucan

"At no stage during the marketing of the property did I feel that I had made an incorrect decision by placing the property in Martin's hands."
R Hailes.

"You have helped to sell our home with the best price in a shortest possible time frame. There is no doubt that we would not have done so well without your skill. You have certainly given us all the right advise and help to market our property in a professional manner. With the knowledge you possess, the honesty and pleasant personality, along with the hard work and dedication, you have put in the job, you have helped us to achieve a lot further than anyone expected."
N Huynh.

"We recently sold our house through Martin, after buying it through him 9 years ago. We had no hesitation listing with Martin as we found him great to deal with originally. He truly listened to what we wanted in a home and has kept in touch over the years. Again, we weren't disappointed with Martin's thorough and professional approach. He has extensive knowledge of the area and knew exactly how to best market our home. We would recommend Martin to anyone looking for excellent service and results."
Karyn & Kelsen Butler

"We would like to commend Martin Honey for his up most professionalism and his dedication to "getting the job done". Martin advised us on markerting campaigns allowing us to make a thoroughly informed decision. We trusted his advice and his sound knowledge of the current property market, Martin has impressed us so much that we regularly tell our friends and family about our great selling experience and the agent to whom we owe the successful sale of our house. Our advice is to go with TEAM MARTIN HONEY as they truly are leaders in the real estate market."
