what’s involved with an appraisal?

The first step of the appraisal process is for you to show Abbie and Julie through the property you are considering listing for sale. We invite you to point out main features and benefits, and any additions or improvements you have made to the property. This property walkthrough usually takes around 20 minutes. Abbie and Julie will then go away and carry out research on relevant comparable sales in the area and assess your property against each of these recent sales. A day or two after the walkthrough, Abbie and Julie will meet with you again to present their formal written appraisal which will provide you with an estimated current market value for the property. This should be presented to all property owners in a face to face manner. We encourage you to ask any and all questions about the process and what to expect.

BOOK AN APPRAISAL

I truly believe it doesn’t get any better than Abbie and Julie. As a mid twenties female I have struggled with other agencies with not feeling heard, or understanding the lingo and processes. Right from my initial inquiry Abbie was quick and thorough with her communication, everything was explained to me in words I could understand, and I left my first meeting well informed, with all my questions answered and I felt confident in the process. Every step of the way from there on out the communication was regular and thorough, the photos turned out amazing, the advertising was top tier, all of my open homes were busy and the detailed feedback reports after each open home were super helpful. The final sale process was smooth and throughout the entire process nothing was too much for them. It was very clear to me throughout the process that Abbie and Julie do this because they totally love it, all communication goes directly through them, there’s no personal assistants or office ladies, the whole experience is personal. I can not recommend Abbie and Julie enough, there is something very special about the way they work, Buying or selling they’re definitely the ones you want on your team!

We were continually updated on progress, and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Certainly the best real estate experience we have ever had."

Graham and Helen Scanlen

We have had another fantastic experience with Abbie and Julie from Real Estate Taupo. This is the second time we’ve sold a house with them and once again they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are professional, approachable, and kept us well informed throughout the process. Nothing felt like too much trouble and their friendly, positive attitude made everything feel easy and straightforward. We’re so grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. We highly recommend Abbie and Julie to anyone looking to buy or sell in Taupō.

Marty Gabolisuy and Dani Ellis

"Abbie's professionalism and knowledge stood out to me as exceptional. Abbie went above and beyond and I have no hesitation in highly recommending her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property in the Taupo area. Thank you Abbie for achieving the result I was hoping for. It has been a privilege having you look after me."

Nicola Smith

"Our experience with Julie at Real Estate Taupo was simply phenomenal. Julie went above and beyond in assisting us buying our perfect forever home, she is extremely knowledgeable and always so helpful and responsive. We have dealt with various real estate agents in the past, and can say with confidence that Julie Thompson stands out for her professionalism, competence, communication and transparency. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Julie and Abbie!"

Lucia Fusco and Duncan Eastwood

"Abbie made this entire process so easy, she is very professional and empathetic at the same time. We chose Abbie because she stood out from other agents, she was willing to go the extra mile, not sit behind email. She does her homework and uses her broad local knowledge to find potential buyers with realistic offers. She took the time to meet face to face and kept me updated. We couldn’t be happier with her efficiency, communication and ability to find the right buyers at the right price. Absolutely recommend Abbie to everyone."

Sue Murray

"We cannot recommend Abbie and Julie highly enough.  From the moment we listed our home, we felt completely supported and confident in their expertise. We elected to market our property by the 4-week Deadline Date method. This process made sense to us. As it transpired, the excellent marketing found our buyers in the first week and by the 10 the day of “going live” we had several multi offers presented to us. All offers were very competitive but one stood out above the others and by the end of that day we were SOLD, feeling confident that the best outcome had been achieved. We really loved the fact that Abbie and Julie are one unique team handling all the buyers. It felt so much less complicated than other arrangements. While both Abbie and Julie were fantastic to work with, we want to particularly acknowledge Abbie as she was the “lead salesperson” on our property.  She is in a league of her own.  Her communication is flawless and she has an incredible ability to make you feel at ease throughout the entire process. We trusted her 100% from start to finish, knowing that she would handle our buyers with the utmost care and skill. Abbie is more than a cut above anyone else we have dealt with in the Real Estate industry — she (and/or Julie) in our opinion are the best and only choice in Taupo when it comes to marketing your property. If you want someone who is professional, highly skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome, Abbie (and her amazing team) are unparalleled. Thank you, Abbie and Julie, for making the sale of our home such a smooth, positive, and even enjoyable experience."

Mark and Mel Barnett

"Thank you Abbie for all your work, you have been amazing to deal with and have done a fabulous job."
