Testimonials | What Our Clients Have To Say

Knowledgeable and Thorough
Troy was personable and professional, he set our expectations early and was able to achieve the top end of his pricing band. Very short time on market was a testament to his marketing strategies. Good systems and support from the office made this a very easy sales experience. Thanks Troy.

Angela & Gavin - Brookby

Hardworking and an eye for detail = Results!
When we decided to put our house on the market we were referred to Troy by a close friend who said that Troy was the sort of agent that would go above and beyond to get the best sales price he could while being honest and realistic about what we might achieve. As we were out of town Troy took the lead on what would give us the best chance of getting a great result. Troy's hard work and eye for detail by far exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend him to sell your house. If you want results Troy is your man!

Steve & Jody – New Lynn

Fantastic and expert service, went beyond expectations.
We are thoroughly impressed with Troy, who sold our investment property in a very challenging market. Troy’s expertise got us an offer which we were very happy with. His insight into the property market and suburb trends were instrumental in getting the right buyers. Troy also went above and beyond in presenting the property in a beautiful way. His communication and enthusiasm were excellent. We greatly appreciated his service and would highly recommend to prospective buyers and sellers.

M & J Jin, Papatoetoe

Troy and the team are a pleasure to deal with and consistently achieve the desired results. As a Property Manager, it might seem counterintuitive to recommend my landlords to sell their properties. However, as times change, this need eventually arises. It's reassuring to know that I can rely on Troy to work with our tenants throughout the sale process, always exercising care and respect for them.

J Burke

It's been a pleasure to deal with Troy over the sale of our property. SOLD after the first open home in a tough market. Don't look elsewhere... Troy is the man for the job.

S Sethi, Papatoetoe

​Exceeds Expectations

Troy was awesome all through the sale of our house. He communicated everything well and was always available to answer any of our questions. He exceeded our expectation for both the value and speed of our sale. Troy was professional, honest and knowledgeable and always happy to help in any way he could and with a smile. I would highly recommend you get in touch with him if you are thinking about selling your house.

Rod & Karen Prins, St Johns

10/10 He was extremely supportive, proactive and he got us across the line in a very difficult market

Terry & Tania, Mangere

Hi I’m Barrie Beazley,
​I live in Australia and and this is a huge thank you to Troy for his unwavering commitment, honesty and candor in the way he managed the sale of my Mums property in Te Atatu Peninsula. There were some trying moments along this journey that, we as family had to navigate. Troy was always supportive and understanding making us feel at ease, and offering his help and support at every turn.

The outcome of the sale was far more favorable than what we expected. What’s more profound is the fact the housing market had been trending downwards over the last 12-18 months, gave us a sense of discomfort. However, it is clearly evident that due to Troy’s professionalism and savvy marketing strategies, leaving no stone unturned, procured the best possible results we could ever ask for.
This means that my Mum, who is now in full time managed care can have all her needs catered for. I would happily re commend Troy to anyone needing to sell their property

Barrie Beazley, Te Atatu Peninsula 

Troy is the quintessential professional, who genuinely cares about his clients.

On two separate occasions, it was an easy decision to refer Troy.
Firstly, on the sale of my sister-in-law's home in South Auckland. Troy guided her carefully through the process, giving great advice and tips during the sale, ensuring the marketing and negotiations went smoothly. After living in her home for over 20 years, there was lots of hand-holding!

Secondly, Troy assisted a friend of our client, whose parents needed extra support to sell their property that was a little rundown and had some additional challenges with an unconsented deck and a wastewater pumping station situated near the driveway. When another agent couldn't get it done, Troy did.
​
Highly recommend Troy to anyone looking for an exceptional agent, who is experienced and dependable.

Del Gleeson 

From our initial interaction to the settlement of our property Troy was exceptional. The process prior to deciding to sell was quite stressful but immediately Troy's knowledge of the market, auctions and management of the process removed all doubts as we felt a level of confidence which had been previously missing.

From moving on a squatter, to tidying the garden over a weekend prior to auction to the final settlement gift and personalised emails I must say we were hugely impressed and cannot thank Troy enough for his amazing support. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for an agent with a difference.

Authentic connection cannot be taken for granted with such an important process.

K Tunstall,  Westgate

I would like to highly recommend Troy Restieaux to be your agent when you consider selling your house as he acts very professionally during the whole process. He is hardworking, honest, patient, knowledgeable, trustworthy, experienced and always prepares to go extra miles. He also has an established network which is very important in the selling or buying processes. Furthermore, Troy is a good negotiator which the vendors can always benefit from.

In the current slow market, as vendors, you need a real estate agent who has perseverance and optimism and always think and plan ahead. Troy has all the attributes which can make the selling process trouble free.
​
Again, I would highly recommend Troy to be your first choice when you are considering to sell your properties

H Yuan. Avondale

Troy has just sold our lovely bungalow in Onehunga and I must say that he is professional and extremely trustworthy. Troy kept us in the loop and did exactly what he said he would do and we can now move on to the next chapter in our lives thanks to Troy. I would highly recommend Troy to sell your home.

Richard Monks,  Onehunga

David & Caroline Taka, Avondale

Troy has made the selling process simple and easy. He’s very knowledgeable, trust worthy and always happy to help. Thank you for getting such a great result!!

M. Kapa,  Papatoetoe

Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for Troy and the sale was the most stressless real estate transaction I have ever done.

C Ohle, Mission Bay

Troy Restieaux has been exceptionally professional and helpful in every step of the way in selling our property.
Understandably, our home was not one of the easiest to sell, however Troy has handled the sales process quickly and efficiently. His communication was exceptional and felt he has kept us up to date at each step of the way. He has definitely stood out from the rest of the agents we have recently encountered, especially while looking for our new home.
​
We would not hesitate to recommend Troy to our family and friends for future sales.

Faried & Riefqah, New Lynn

We spent 3 months trying to sell our house with another real estate agent and we didn’t receive any offers. We’ve got young children and it was quite hard work having open homes every weekend with them. So, when we came to the end of our agreement with our other agent we decided that we would contact Troy to see what he could offer us. We met Troy and his team, and we were very happy with the proposal, the process was very smooth, they were very easy to communicate with. We found the process of selling our house this time very easy, it was quick. With our agent we had 3 months’ worth of open homes, getting the home ready every single weekend with young children running around and then with Troy and the team we had an offer on the first weekend and it went unconditional by the second weekend. We were very happy with the outcome. We were so amazed to receive and offer from our first open home and we would definitely recommend them, they were very professional and just got the job done quickly and we couldn’t have asked for better. 

Matt & Tracey, Massey

It is a huge decision when choosing a Real estate  agent to go with. I did ponder for some time because it is an important decision and finally chose  William Tatana & Troy. I had been given these names while asking around. Once this was decided, the process started. There is no question that I made the right choice. They showed me respect, integrity and tenacity. Their time was always given wholeheartedly to any occasion at hand without a fuss. And on call twenty four seven. Result SOLD!

Sandra, Castor Bay

Troy comes to real estate from a marketing background so the way he sees the property and markets it is a cut above the others. He's confident and quickly delivered the results we wanted.

I am a young first home buyer, which most can understand the overwhelming feeling. Troy went over and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable experience, while also going the extra mile in getting us over the edge to be approved on our purchase. I am extremely appreciative of Troy and would recommend him as your agent.​

Alana  – Stanmore Bay

Troy was an excellent agent to work with on my first home purchase. Right from the initial viewing he was extremely easy to talk with and was both inquisitive and attentive while discussing my circumstance. Troy was proactive making well received calls and texts to check in following viewing, and once it came time to present an offer Troys professionalism and relatability shined. It was clear and easy working through the offer, acceptance, and conditional phases with Troy. What can seem to be a bit of a daunting experience to first home purchasers was straightforward and stress free. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Troy and I recommend his services to anyone seeking to sell or purchase a property. 

Michael – Glen Innes

Troy is a genuine agent that works towards the best outcome utilising his vast market knowledge! Troy was amazing from beginning to end, guiding us with his vast knowledge at every turn. The way he develops the perfect marketing strategy to go with your property is next level! While Troy exudes a professional demeanour, you can tell he genuinely cares about the best outcome for you. Highly recommended!​

Marnix & Pauline, St Johns

He was absolute calmness amongst all the chaos. Our house was seriously damaged by the tenants and we had to get it repaired/renovated before being sold. Troy was there steadily all along. He had the patience, excellent etiquette in terms of knowing when to provide advice and when to give us headspace to think, is a doer and made our goal, his goal. This worked brilliantly and we worked together as a team to execute the plan. He was brilliant. Another important bit is his sense of humour! which is needed when plans don't go our way or gets disrupted. He knew what we wanted and helped us achieve it. Very highly recommended.

Josephine & Rohit, Avondale

100% recommend!

Troy has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and is someone who takes you on the journey in the right way. Selling a house has been one of the most stressful times for me but he has kept me informed, been available to answer any questions and provided the right advise and guidance. If you have a chance to work with Troy you won’t regret it! Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

B Ward, Mangere East

Cairns & Jade, Glen Eden

Troy Restieaux was very professional in helping me sell my Auckland house. I was not in Auckland except for a quick visit, but he managed communication well and was respectful and friendly to my parents who were living at the property. He kept me in the loop with everything and answered questions clearly. I'm thrilled with the auction result as well, and know it is largely due to his hard work

S Serban, Papakura

Troy went above and beyond, helping me get my property ready for market. He is enthusiastic and passionate about securing the best price possible.

K G, Waterview

Selling our home in this current market was quite a daunting experience, so finding the right real estate agent was really important to us. Of all the agents we met, Troy stood out from the very beginning. 

Troy is professional, knowledgeable, and relatable. He was amazing to work with and made everything so easy and stress free. 
Troy provided us with frequent and honest feedback on how the campaign was tracking, and continued to work hard for us throughout this entire process. Troy’s guidance and professionalism was invaluable. 

Thank you so much for all your help. Our experience has been super positive and we have no hesitation in recommending you to others. 

Many thanks ​

Angela and Richard Johnson, Manurewa

Our initial impression of Troy is that he is a genuine person and that you can have confidence in that he will do what he says he will do. He doesn’t over sell himself, which is refreshing. He explains everything in a relaxed and comfortable manner and keeps you informed along the way. He makes a stressful and emotional time for us as vendors a more relaxed experience.

Christine and David, Avondale

Troy has been amazing from the start. My journey started several years ago and he's always kept in touch until I was finally ready to make the move. He goes beyond just being a real estate agent and if you need someone that has the drive and passion to sell your house, he's the man. I would highly recommend Troy if you're thinking of selling your house.

Catherine Smith,  Papatoetoe

Troy was very professional, responsive and honest during the whole process of selling our house. We are based outside of New Zealand and Troy had to work around time zones and our availability and all I can say is he was amazing.

We have sold quite a few properties in the past and dealt with a few estate agents but this time was by far the best experience.
We felt Troy worked on our behalf as well as being considered about all parties involved which is key to closing successful deal including dealing with our tenants.
​
I would highly recommend Troy to anyone who is looking for a partnership when it comes to selling their property.
Thank you Troy for all your help through what it should have been a stressful journey but this time it felt different. We felt very supported and confident all the way.

Angelica Allen, Green Bay

Troy and his team were great from start to finish.
Troy comes to real estate from a marketing background so the way he sees the property and markets it is a cut above the others. He's confident and quickly delivered the results we wanted.

Andrew Prins, Avondale

Out for a cuppa with my kids, I noticed a house for sale. Walked in, fell in love, called Troy, he said "i'll come to the auction with you!" He did, and he won it for me with a booming voice, wiping out the competition.

​Then he sold my unit while I was away in England, and the purchaser was in the Islands. What can I say? The man can perform miracles. I've never employed such an enthusiastic, supportive, communicative, honest happy realtor. I wouldn't use anybody else after this amazing selling and buying trip. Thanks Troy! You're in my phone.

Shelley King, Kingsland

What can I say? The man can perform miracles. I've never employed such an enthusiastic, supportive, communicative, honest happy realtor...Thanks Troy! You're in my phone.

90% of my work is residential conveyancing in an Auckland law firm. So when I say I deal with a lot of real estate agents, that is an understatement. There is no one else I’d have in my corner as agent than Troy to sell my property. I demand the best, that’s why I’ve got Troy

Stewart West, New Lynn

“When we decided to sell the property we had multiple real estate agents come through the house and it was clear after we met Troy and his team who we were going to go with. He was professional and actually told us what we needed to do to the property to get the most from the sale
We were really impressed with how he viewed our property and gave us lots of really good recommendations on how to make small improvements for some big gains. Troy and the team went the extra mile and came around and spent multiple days painting our fence which was unheard of so thank you Troy, appreciate it mate.
​
Regarding the marketing of the property, they came with the most robust plan of all the agents that we met and it covered everything from TradeMe to Social Media to working with other real estate agents. They are the marketing experts, hands down. I had all the confidence in the world after speaking to troy and his team that they were going to market our property and get us the most bang for our buck. Yeah so kudos to them.
​
We  had the property on the market for about three weeks and we had hordes of people through. It was impressive how many people we had through. I didn’t actually think it was that possible in such a short period of time. When it came to the auction, the place was over run. We had multiple bidders and we were very happy with the results and we know after that auction we trusted the right team with our property.
​
I would definitely recommend Troy and the team to sell your property, he will be coming back and selling my next property. So if you are looking for a real estate agent you can trust and is going to get top dollar for your house, talk to Troy”

Mike McClanaghan, New Lynn ​

Troy came to us with a thoughtful and well researched marketing plan. He worked tirelessly to market and encourage buyers and provided superb feedback and support to us. Every meeting with Troy was informative and entertaining. His warmth, dedication and skill at selling are obvious, evidenced by our great auction result. We would highly recommend Troy and Team William Tatana for an excellent group effort. Thank you Troy from the bottom of our hearts.”

J. Stulich, Mt Roskill

Well done to the team, Troy, William and team. Very helpful, easy to deal with and of course accomodating to our needs and requirements. Good hard working team with a fast and efficient results. I'd highly recommend this team to sell your home.

Marie Stormont, Avondale

We didn’t expect you to go to some of the lengths that you did. But obviously your keen eye and attitude made the difference. Your property management skills on the Asquith Ave property were far beyond the scope that any agent would have undertaken. Even I was impressed at how you got all the neighbours onboard to solve the treeline issue which was hindering the sale. You tackled the problem head on and obtained a great price for our client. You transformed the property and obtained the result. Thank you for looking at the big picture.​

S. W, Mt Albert

Troy is warm, and trustworthy with great people skills. He put in a lot of work and got my house sold in a very short time...2 open homes only! He is conscientious and thorough and loves his work...not just a job, a vocation. I gladly recommend him and the team, William Tatana and Debbie.​
