"Over the last three years I have had a business relationship with Marianne Tavenier in her capacity as a Real-Estate Agent. Her attitude, commitment and work ethic are of the highest order. No issues or problems with my business have been left unsolved whilst buying and selling real estate. From my experience she has been a huge asset to my business. Marianne is a true professional".

"Just a wee note to express my appreciation for your fine and professional efforts in the sale of my properties. It was a pleasure dealing with you all. I appreciate the extra effort you always went through, as well as the sensitive and thoughtful nature of your approach to matters"

Alan Campbell

 

"When deciding to sell our home in Raumati Beach, where we had raised our family and lived for 31 years, it was a big step for us. Marianne Tavenier's presentation as a Marketing Consultant, was outstanding. We had already had two other appraisals from other real estate companies, but nothing to compare to what Marianne put in front of us. That is why we chose her as our 'Listing Agent'. She worked together with her team and to you all we say "Thank you very much for your professionalism, enthusiasm, dedication and integrity in the way our house sale was conducted".

Rex & Shirley Hayes

"We've been in contact with Marianne at Harcourts, Paraparaumu, since 2004, when we had a valuation done on a previous property. Although at that time, we did not put our home on the market, Marianne kept in contact with us, so in February when we decided to put our house on the market, we decided to list with Marianne. The service was great and Marianne and her team were always good to deal with and available when we had questions. We were lucky to sell very quickly and ended up buying with through her again, in Paraparaumu. Both selling and buying with Marianne and team made life easier and we enjoyed a good working (and social) relationship with Marianne and Jo. If we decide to move again, we will certainly be ringing Marianne again."

"We would like to express our appreciation for all the help we were given by Marianne, Jo and Pascal during the marketing and sale of our home. They advised us on how best to present our major asset and that included dressing several rooms with furniture provided by them.

 We were grateful for the support given during, and after the sale, and would not hesitate to give their names to any friends contemplating a move. They are a great team!"

“Jan and I wanted you to know how much we appreciated the professional manner in which you handled the sale of our home in Nikau Valley. Completing a sale and purchase with an overseas client was always going to be a challenge but your experience and wise counsel led us through the process and gave us the assurance we needed. We always felt confident we were in capable hands.”

Jan & Paul Smith


“Marianne recently sold me my first investment property and managed to make the whole process relatively stress-free. Her pleasant, friendly approach and the regular contact was much appreciated.

I happily recommend her services, knowing that when I next need an estate agent my first call will be to Marianne Tavenier at Harcourts”

Amanda Anthoson, Woodcote Lodge Therapy & Day Spa


“Marianne was exactly what we wanted in an agent. She knew what we wanted, and helped us find the house we were looking for. Unlike many agents she did not waste our time showing us properties we were not interested in. She took the time to consider our needs, and kept us informed whenever something suitable cam up. Additionally, she did not put pressure on us whatsoever. I can’t recommend her more”

Fleur Hobson, Paraparaumu


“Marianne has recently completed a house purchase for us. In all our consultations and negotiations with her, Marianne has remained courteous, patient and acted in a professional manner. Buying or selling a house can be a very stressful time for those involved, but Marianne’s positive attitude and lively sense of humour made the experience as pleasant as possible.

I was a pleasure working with Marianne an I would recommend her services as an agent to any potential purchaser or vendor.”

Tony & Joan Whincup


“Marianne was a very pleasant and efficient person to work with. She listened carefully to questions, queries and concerns and always addressed any issues that needed attention. Her advice was sound and honest. Nothing was ever too difficult or too time-consuming for her. We want to take this opportunity to recommend Marianne as a listing agent. She will work tirelessly for you as the vendor and she will make sure that you only get the best from her and her company.

Marianne is one of the top listing agents and we can perfectly understand why.”

Leon and Dorothea Pienaar


“Shortly after moving we had the occasion to speak with people who live locally and you name came up. They spoke of their encounter with their home purchase and of a wonderful enthusiastic young woman, referred on to them, that they had dealt with at Harcourt’s, Marianne Tavenier, and couldn’t sing your praises highly enough.

Gray and I found your attentiveness and willingness to work with our needs refreshing. Your expertise showed considerable market experience and your after sales service has been exceptional. The whole experience has left us feeling as though we’ve made a new friend and have already taken great pleasure in referring you on to anyone with even a passing interest in selling their home in the wider Kapiti region.”

Gray and Sue Sanderson


“I would like to say that I was in all aspects satisfied with both your performance and the eventual sale, which transpired after only being on the market for one week.

As a first time house seller I was a little unsure of the due process involved, but you kept things clear and simple which was reassuring for me during what potentially could have been a stressful period.

Thanks for your efficient handling of the sale of my house and I wish you all the best for the future.”

Cameron Jelbert

“Without Marianne’s willingness to go out of her way to find us the right home, we would probably be looking for months and still not be satisfied.

Marianne, without a doubt, went out of her way, giving up more personal time and evenings to meet our schedules, than any agent we dealt with in this process.”

Diane De Deker


“Marianne Tavenier recently sold our home for us, not only were we pleased with the results but Marianne made the process as pleasant as possible.

Working with Marianne was a pleasure, and we enjoyed our meetings. We were provided with regular updates and information, and also received researched information based on market data which aided our decision making.

We are happy to recommend and in fact already have recommended Marianne as a Real Estate professional.”

Matt & Kirsten Ralph


“My wife and I were very pleased with the way Marianne Tavenier conducted the sale of our home and the subsequent purchase of another property. Both Marianne and her husband were most helpful when it came to shifting and transporting some of our belongings in their own vehicle. They were most helpful in every way.”

Ross & Pat Hogg


“We have had great pleasure dealing with Marianne in the sale of two houses and the purchase of one. We have always found Marianne to be helpful, attentive, able to think outside the square, but most of all willing to take some ownership of our dreams and aspirations and willing to do her part in making those dreams and aspirations a reality.”
