“For some it’s business. For us it’s family”
As a lifelong local resident of Tauranga, Dane has seen plenty of changes that this great city has had over the years. Dane’s father started the family business Crockford Real Estate in 1974 from humble beginnings and grew it to become a household name. In 2008 the natural progression for Dane was to join the family business and quickly realised that his passion was to sell real estate specialising in selling lifestyle and rural properties throughout Tauranga. In 2020 Dane became a director and a decision was made to rebrand the business to join the Ray White family - a name synonymous with the property and real estate industry.
Dane’s goal is to provide a service that delivers results in a friendly, less stressful environment and is supported by a dedicated hardworking team who strive to continue to establish and maintain a reputation for hard work, honesty, integrity and professionalism alongside their strong family values.
"We commissioned Dane Crockford to sell our rural residential property in Pyes Pa. After the third home open we had a written offer which we accepted following favourable negotiations. We found Dane very easy to deal with - friendly and open, knowledgeable and extremely professional. He is backed up by an excellent team. We would gladly speak to Dane in the future should we wish to sell again."
"Dane Crockford sold my lifestyle property at 445 Joyce Rd. I found Dane very professional and helpful during the sale process and accommodating with enabling my 96 year old mother to stay put during open home days. I can recommend Dane as an honest Agent to both buyer and seller."
"It was a particularly stressful time for us when we decided to sell our home of 35 years We selected Dane from the agents that offered to market our property. What we liked about Dane was that he listened to what we were telling him and our conversations with him were easy and comfortable. We were frequently away during the period our home was on the market and Dane kept regular communications and gave us honest feedback. We believed him to be genuine and hard working on our behalf. An amiable man with a sense of humour we enjoyed. In addition, we also considered if we were buying, then Dane would be the Man for the Job. Chris and Julie James"
"My wife Debbie and I first met Dane while looking to buy a property in the Pyes Pa, Cambridge Road area of Tauranga having sold our own house. After taking the time to find out from both of us what we were looking for in a property Dane set about finding suitable candidates to view. With Danes local knowledge, contacts and tenacity he was able to arrange private viewings of houses not yet marketed in the traditional media. Dane continued to exercise and diplomacy and patience during the purchase process and even helped move furniture! I would not hesitate in recommending Dane Crockford for any of your real estate needs."
"Dane was very professional and guided me through the process. He took away the stress. Sadly I won’t need his services again as I’m moving into a retirement village."
