Neale Parkinson

Neale Parkinson was recommended to me by several people primarily because of his length of experience in the real estate business, his professionalism and his reputation for being a genuinely nice bloke. I found Neale to be considerate and sensitive during a process which can, at times, be quite emotional and challenging. I felt that he listened carefully to our concerns and requirements, guiding us in making decisions that would offer opportunities for the best outcome. Neale kept us well informed during the process and I always felt that his eye was on the ball. As part of the Bayleys group, Neale has access to a larger market and he ensured our property was presented and photographed to reflect its value and compete outside of New Plymouth. His professional and thoughtful manner is quite unlike other agents I have come into contact with and I absolutely would recommend Neale to anyone listing their property.

We have lived in our New Plymouth home for the past 5 years. We have previously bought and sold a number of properties but have never been served so well as to freely offer this letter of recommendation. Neale Parkinson from Bayleys New Plymouth was absolutely outstanding in all our dealings with him. Communication was a highlight – Neale actually listened to us and acted on our instructions. Neale offered his advice and never forced his opinion. His professionalism stood him apart from him peers. We as vendors, were part of the process from beginning to end but ultimately it was Neale’s skilled negotiating that closed the deal. The final compliment must be that the purchasers of our home then also used Neale to assist with the sale of their home to contact Neale and know that you will be well served.

My parents spoke very highly of Neale who they had previously employed for their property transactions. So when mum died it was an easy decision for the family to once again utilize his services. Due to his market knowledge, a targeted marketing campaign, his ongoing open and clear communication and ability to find multiple bidders for the auction, we achieved a result that far exceeded our best expectations. I would unreservedly recommend Neale.

To put my home and lifestyle on the open market for sale, was a monumental decision. However the decision to select an agent, was an easy one. Working with Neale Parkinson of Bayleys, to plan a suitable marketing campaign, select dates and viewing options and of course sale methods, was made by Neale, a very easy and pleasant undertaking. Neale’s manner, kind nature and experience, I found all appealing. His consideration to my work demands, made the process of ‘invited’ open homes, very suitable for the property and seemed to work well for all concerned. It allowed prospective views their privacy, to enjoy mostly individual attention from Neale, thus retaining the private setting here, at this idyllic property. The decisions to sell by Auction, proved the right one. A well attended event. A happy outcome, conducted by Steven Shale of Hamilton. A vibrant Auctioneer. Both true gentlemen. Indeed this is a note of reference, but it’s also a very special thank you to Neale. Your experience and guidance through the whole sale process, has been a pleasure.

I cannot speak more highly of the professional service we received from Neale Parkinson at Bayleys. He carefully explained marketing strategies and costs. We agreed to a marketing plan which ensured the property was shown at its best. Neale kept us fully informed as agreed. Incredibly our property sold following the first open day. We definitely recommend Bayleys and Neale to anyone wishing to sell their property in the future.

Thanks again for doing such a great job selling 77 Young Street in testing market conditions. As Auckland vendors, we needed someone who understood the market and had the experience to execute the appropriate sales campaign whilst maintaining realistic expectations. We were impressed with the level of trust you were able to build in such a short time and your communication throughout the process was comprehensive and professional. Finally, you got the result we wanted. Thanks again!

Working with Neale was a great experience all round. He provided a very professional service and answered all my questions. I was a little worried as we live overseas with a 5-hour time difference but all was handled very smoothly. Best of all Neale secured a buyer within the 1st week of the house going on the market, at a great price! I would highly recommend Neale to anyone.

We dealt with Neale for the successful sale of a house by auction. He was thorough and efficient and went above and beyond helping us with builders and insulation reports and also helping prospective buyers get any information so that all eventualities were covered and people knew what they were bidding for. He was sensitive and respective in his dealings with the tenant ensuring that there were no issues with open homes and other viewings. We would always use Neale as a real estate agent and recommend him to everyone.
