Testimonials

In my Opinion she is one of the Best Real Estate Agents currently working in Wellington

"I am a partner in this firm…. In recent years I have worked with Halina Kuchciak on a number of Sale &
Purchase Agreements. I have always found her to be extremely competent and of absolute integrity.
Several of these matters have been quite difficult and have required considerable skill and patience
from Halina to get the properties sold and the sales confirmed. In my opinion she is one of the best real
estate agents currently working in the Wellington area.” – Peter Connor, Duncan Cotterill

Very Approachable with Constant Contact

"Not only were you professional, but you were very approachable and in constant contact with us
explaining and up dating the situation. This appears to be in marked contrast to the experience of other
people we know dealing with other agents. These other agents seem to ignore the house owner
completely. It was very reassuring to know exactly what was going on, on an almost daily basis. We are
extremely happy with our house selling experience and would not hesitate to recommend you and John
to others." - Robert Wallace

Keeping Me Informed the Whole Time

"I really appreciated the time you spent with me going over the options I had, explaining the marketing
strategies and your keeping me informed the whole time. You made me feel very special - as if I was
your most important client. I have recommended you to friends and colleagues and I know you will
work as hard for them as you did for me." - Jan Tilley

Our Property Sold Quickly

"We were so pleased that our property sold quickly and we have no doubt that this was due to your
highly efficient management of the handling of our house sale. We have already been highly
recommending your services to our friends and colleagues. Finally, Halina, we would especially like to
thank you for those personal touches which we, and our children, greatly appreciated. There is no
doubt in our minds that you went the extra mile for us." - Vanessa Taylor

She Obtained the Best Price Possible

"It is not that often that I have come across a real estate agent that I would be prepared to deal with
again - let alone recommend to others contemplating buying a property. But with Halina I have no
hesitation what so ever in recommending her. I have found her to be honest, very experienced in the
art of selling real estate and extremely hard working. She was a pleasure to deal with and believe that
she obtained the best price possible for our residence." - David Gilmour

You have put our Faith back into Real Estate Agents.

"We have bought and sold four homes over the last ten years and some of the experiences we have
had with real estate agents has not been good. You have put our faith back into real estate agents.
With both of us coming from service backgrounds we had certain levels of expectations. You not only
met these expectations but exceeded them. We found you were professional but relaxed and
appreciated that you were not pushy as some real estate agents can be." - Grahem & Nerolene Free

Halina is a Legend!!

"Halina is a Legend!! We said it time and time again after the successful sale of our house and we
would like to take this opportunity to it in writing as we would honestly recommend her and John to
anyone who wants to receive Professionalism, Honesty, A1 service and most importantly a great price
for their house." - Dion Leonard and Lucja Jantjes.

A Cash Offer in Excess of the Current GV by Over $100,000

"Your 'style' certainly works for me - frank and upfront, passionate about what you do and fabulous
follow up. It's very comforting from a vendor perspective to know that you will always do what you say
you are going to do, when you say you are going to do it. The result, a cash offer in excess of the
current GV by over $100,000, along with a swift settlement date, is exceptional" - Josie Swan

The Property was Sold for a Price that Exceeded the Highest Valuation Known

"Ultimately the property was sold through you for a price that exceeded the highest valuation known to
me and therefore my expectations. To say the least, I am grateful for that. But what is also important to
me is the way in which you have gone about your job. In your dealings with me in relation to this
property you have been patient, courteous, informative, helpful, determined and professional. I have
found it a pleasure to be advised by you and will make a point of conveying this to the solicitor who
recommended you." – Tim Fookes

Of Particular Note Has Been her Communication.

"Halina excelled in many areas. From the outset she has been a tireless promoter of our property. She
organized excellent advertising, ran three open homes in a very professional manner and also
generated a considerable number of inspections from other potential buyers. Of particular note has
been her communication. On an almost daily basis she has kept us fully informed of progress with the
sale. And as all times she has been very pleasant. Another satisfied seller suggested we seek Halina's
services and that referral proved to be an excellent one. We can only endorse that client's warm
recommendation." - Ron and Alison Reynolds

Within Two Weeks we had secured an Offer that exceeded our Expectations

“...thanks to you both for the great job you did in the marketing and selling of our home. We listened to
your recommendations, followed your advice and as you predicted, within two weeks we had secured
an offer that exceeded our expectations! Thank you both for your great service, integrity and fantastic
communication throughout the whole process; you were wonderful to work with.” – Liz and Barney
Stephenson

100% Commitment to Selling our Home

was excellent. We are totally satisfied customers and wish to thank Halina and John for their 100%
commitment to selling our home” – Toni and Cameron Mitchell

It all Started by a Flyer you Dropped into our Letterbox

“We would like to thank you both, first for putting our faith back on real estate agents. Many thanks for
the selling of our house this time, with no stress and everything running smoothly all the way. This time
it only took 3 weeks, the exact time Halina said it would take. It all started by a flyer you dropped into
our letterbox, offering a free house appraisal. We certainly made the right choice! Halina’s appraisal
was far more professional, very well presented and she took her time to explain the market situation to
us and her selling secrets and why it has worked well for her clients.

Halina can Really Get you the Best Price for your House

Halina can really get you the best price for your house... We are going to miss the almost daily talks on
the phone with her. We advise vendors to choose Halina and John as the team for selling their
property. They will bring you success and the best price for you home.” – Ariel and Ivonne Leigh

The Winning Offer was Unconditional! Simply Amazing

“Thank you for selling our house quickly and efficiently! We are especially pleased with the way you
managed the land slip that happened during the sale process, impossible to predict, but you dealt with
this difficult issue very professionally. In the end, the 5 offers on our house proved that you did an
excellent job. Not to mention that the winning offer was unconditional! Simply amazing. Thank you.” –
Brian & Sibylle

We Very Much Appreciated your Expertise and Experience

“We very much appreciated your expertise and experience as well as your helpful approach to our own
concerns. Everything went smoothly and we were kept appraised of the progress all the way through.
You may be sure that if we were to buy in Wellington again we would have no hesitation in seeking your
help and indeed we have mentioned your name to those who have asked which agency we had used.”
– Graham and Brenda Walker

Last but not Least, you are Friendly and Personable

“At all times, I felt I could contact you about the sale, and you yourself maintained frequent contact
with us both to keep us up to date with what was happening. I was content that we had made the right
decision in approaching you to sell our house – a decision based on our previous experience with you,
when you sold our last property. You know houses, you work very hard, you are thorough, you are clear,
utterly reliable, and last but not least, you are friendly and personable to have a chat with.” – Barbara
Wood

You kept us in Touch at all Times

“I was delighted at your help. You kept us in touch at all times. The method of sale was ideal and we
got a fair price. In addition your fee and expenses were very reasonable. I am grateful to Lesley
Carmichael for recommending you.” – Richard Cottrell

I am Happy to Recommend Halina to Anyone

“I know Halina both as a buyer and as a vendor...Halina is very good at what she does. She designed a
good marketing strategy for the house and advertising placements to match. Her advice resulted in a
sale price that i was more then happy with, and for an amount significantly higher than would have
been achieved if I’d been handling the negotiations on my own. Accordingly i am happy to recommend
Halina to anyone looking for a good real estate agent who is honest and active and gets the job done.”
– Matthew Horrocks

Appreciation for the Work You and Your Team Did

“Steve and I wanted to put down on paper our real appreciation for the work you and your team did in
selling our house. As vendors, we found you were: very organized... good at explaining the pros and
cons...encouraging with advise, suggestions and instructions...great at keeping us updated throughout
the process. Very able at closing the deal for a win-win result. It was a pleasure doing business with
you.” – Marie and Steve France

Our House was Sold in 2 1/2 Weeks

“When we chose to sell our house, we decided to select an estate agent we both felt comfortable with
rather than whoever gave our house the highest valuation. We found Halina listened and understood
what we wanted and then followed through with a plan that met with our requirements. We’re very glad
we chose Halina as our agent, our house was sold in 21/2 weeks (speed was our primary objective)...
we therefore have no hesitation in recommending Halina and John.” – Rob Cheetham & Cristina
Rodriguez

Keep us fully informed at Every Moment of the Journey

“Not only did you attend to our business with the utmost speed and efficiency but you always found
time to keep us fully informed at every moment of the journey from original instructions to prompt and
successful sales. If another occasion arose can say we would most certainly again enlist your services
knowing we were in the best hands.” – Margaret & Ian Caird

I listed my House with Halina Kuchciak

“I listed my house with Halina Kuchciak from Leaders because she marketed herself so well and at the
time I was thinking of selling her flier was in my letterbox. Even when I received two offers below my
expectations Halina did not force me to accept them and left the decision up to me and my judgment.
...in the end I received an offer...and I am pleased I waited for it. So thank you Halina and John. It has
been a pleasure working with you both...” – Fennella Bovett

I have no Hesitation in Recommending Halina

informed throughout the house selling process; with regular updates and honest feedback from the
open homes. I also found her accommodating and sensitive to our particular requests while providing
solid professional advice.” – Emma Luke

A Friend Referred Us to You and We Can See Why he Did

“...right through your experience and instincts could always be relied on to keep things in perspective
and on track. Thanks to John for all his hard work behind the scenes. A friend referred us to you and we
can see why he did. We were very happy with the services you delivered and would be more than happy
for you to refer prospective vendors our way.” – Cate and Andre

Feedback was Timely, Honest and Direct

current market situation. We warmly recommend your services to others.” – Pip Wall & Frank Wall

Professional, Efficient, and Very Effective

“I am writing in reference to Halina Kuchciak and her associate John Reyna, who successfully sold our
house in Northland. It was a great pleasure dealing with this team they are professional, efficient, and
very effective real estate agents. Selling a house can be a stressful procedure, but Halina was always
calm and her sense of humour kept us positive throughout the process. We have no hesitation in highly
recommending Halina and Associates for real estate transactions in Wellington.” – Laurie and Martin
Jackson

Within Three Days I had My First Offer

"In mid-January I found my dream home. However in order to be in a position to make a serious offer I
needed to sell my existing home within a two week time frame and for a premium price. Although I
realized that this probably belonged in the realm of fantasy, I decided that I would not be comfortable if
I did not at least try. At this point I contacted Halina. Within three days I had my first offer. Within ten
days I was choosing between four offers. One of these exceeded my wildest dreams. Two weeks later I
have my dream home." - Sue Calvert

Successfully Undertaken in a Relatively Short Period of Time

"We are writing to thank you for handling the sale of our residential property which was successfully
undertaken in a relatively short period of time. Your attention to detail and the helpful advice which you
provided when we were initially contemplating the sale was much appreciated." - Bryce & Margaret
Morris

I Received an Offer the Day after the First Open Home

"As well as being friendly and a pleasure to deal with, you were always professional and efficient - that I
received an offer the day after the first open home was, I'm sure, largely due to your marketing and
negotiating skills." - Karen Peace

Not only did You Negotiate a Fantastic Price…

"Thank you so much for selling my home. I have to admit I was very apprehensive about the whole
selling process in the beginning with not really knowing what the result was going to be. And what a
result, not only did you negotiate a fantastic price for my home that I never dreamed of, you also
negotiated terms and conditions, like a six month long settlement, that I didn't think anyone would
agree to." - Michael Colson

Halina Gave Us a Distinct Advantage in Selling Our Home

"Halina marketed and sold our house with rare enthusiasm. She and her associate favored a two and
half week Closed Tender sale with no buyer enquiry figure. This approach worked well for us. A vigorous
marketing campaign was undertaken including superb photos and good press coverage. We were
easily able to accept on the tenders that were presented on the closing date. In our opinion, Halina's
knowledge of the market, her friendly style and professional approach gave us a distinct advantage in
selling our home." - Andy Smout & Claire Gregory

Without making us Feel Pressured

"Doug and I would like to thank you for once again coming through for us with the sale of our house in
Newlands. We especially appreciate how you took the time almost daily to phone us and let us know
the progress that you were making. The very easy process you use for getting advertisements placed
without making us feel pressured was wonderful, and the constantly positive attitude you have - it
made selling the house pain free! What more can we say except that we recommend your services to
everyone." - Nicky & Doug Sinclair

Substantially Higher Price than We had Thought Possible

"The result speaks for itself - our house was sold within three weeks and at a substantially higher price
than we had thought possible. This result was largely due to the excellent pre-sale advice from Halina.
She understood our requirements and objectives and structured the sales process and advertising in a
way that maximized our chances. Following the sale, Halina took care of all the details and ensured
that we had to spend as little time as possible completing the transaction." - Tim Orsman

Halina's Experience in the Wellington Real Estate Market was Invaluable

"Halina's experience in the Wellington Real Estate market was invaluable while marketing our property
this combined with her professional attitude and presentation made selling our home a less stressful
and more beneficial experience. We would not hesitate in recommending Halina to both purchasers
and sellers of properties." - Andrew & Charlotte Ryan

You Made it Appear Seamless and Very Easy for Us

"We would both like to express how happy we were with our recent house sale, which you handled for
us. We believed that selling would be quite a stressful process - especially as we have a 6-month-old
daughter - but you made it appear seamless and very easy for us. The price you attained was well
beyond our expectations & I believe directly down to your skill & experience as a real estate agent." -
Mark Warrior

Our House was sold within Three Weeks

"Halina read the market 100% and consequently our house was sold within three weeks. We have
never come across Real Estate Agents so totally professional and dedicated. Halina gave us many
options as to how to market our home and at no time did we feel pressured in any way into making and
decisions we were uncomfortable about, her communication was outstanding. We would have no
hesitation in recommending them or your company. We wish Halina and John all the very best in the
future." - R & S Wakelin

If you engage Halina you will be Rewarded

"If you engage Halina you will be rewarded. Her ethics are genuine and her commitment to the vendor
is absolute from beginning to end. We have no hesitation in recommending Halina to anyone
considering selling a property." - Rhys and Celia Montgomery

We were Delighted with the Sale Price

"We were delighted with the sale price that we obtained and the relatively short (2 weeks) marketing
period that this was achieved in. Your advice regarding the initial marketing strategy, a very clear idea
of the potential market that we were targeting and the many useful hints and tips that you gave us,
particularly regarding presentation of our house for open homes, all combined to result in a number of
tenders and an excellent sale price." - Brett Honeyfield & Gabriel Marcroft

We Simply have to let you Know Just how Much we Appreciated all that Halina Kuchciak
and John Reyna Did

"We simply have to let you know just how much we appreciated all that Halina Kuchciak and John
Reyna did to facilitate the exceptionally successful sale of our townhouse in Wilton. It was not only

that was being taken, but also, her charming and helpful manner which facilitated the smooth running
of this sale, in what might have been a very stressful time for us." - Gloria and Wilfred Simenauer QSO

We were Delighted with the Prices that you Obtained for Us

property to purchase. Your regular phone calls to keep us up to date with what was happening in terms
of the sales, and later regarding what has come onto the market, helped greatly." - Greg Ariell & Lara

So Impressed Were We with Your Presentation that We Did Not Bother to Contact any
Other Agent,

"We were impressed at our first meeting when you called and went through, in detail the matters that
we needed to take into consideration when planning to sell our home. You gave us numerous options
but did not try to influence our ability to make the final decisions. So impressed were we with your
presentation that we did not bother to contact any other agent, and gave you sole agency on the sale of
our property." - Kevin Conroy

contemplating buying or selling a property avail themselves of your professional help." - Garth Harrison

Halina Sold Both Properties within My Timeframe and at Good Prices

"Halina sold both properties within my timeframe and at good prices. Throughout the process I did not
have to chase her once - she kept in regular contact and I was fully informed about what was going on,
which was important to me as an absentee vendor. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an
efficient, professional agent with a down to earth approach." - Martin Ross
