"Abbie and Julie of Real Estate Taupo were professional and knowledgeable, and their presentation and enthusiasm was exceptional throughout the selling process of our home. We were continually updated on progress, and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Certainly the best real estate experience we have ever had."

"Abbie was a very warm, professional and hardworking agent. In our circumstance she handled all the contractors needed to prepare the house for sale and kept us well informed of potential buyers. I would recommend her and I feel got more personal service than from a perhaps a bigger franchise."

Cara Nowell

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!

Sarah-Jean Campbell

"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."

"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!"

I found Taupo realestate excellent to work with they gave me all the right advice on how to sell my property, and there marketing strategy was on point,regarding the appraisal,they were the only realestate company that could give me the true transparent comparison of the property's in my suburb.they put a plus &minus dollar value on my property and the other property's that have sold in the suburb in the last 2 months,eg: property A has no double glazing but has a garage,my house has double glazing and a garage,and is fully insulated,they then give me what house A, sold for,and what my house will potentially get from the comparison of the 2 home in question,this is why I gave Taupo realestate 10/10 for being so transparent,and so easy to work with,They sold my house after the second open home ,I will be using Abbie and Julie in the future with my other property's,as well as any investment property's that I'll be looking at in the near future,Thanks heaps for making the process so stress free. Kind regards, Tony Reynolds.😊

Tony Reynolds

Wonderful stress free experience selling our home with Abbie. We can't recommend Abbie highly enough. She was very friendly yet professional throughout and her calm demeanour helped us through the whole process. Hardworking and knowlegable of the market. Both Abbie and Julie worked well together, they communicated regularly with us, which was very reassuring. And best of all, our home sold in record time, we were thrilled. Already recommending Abbie to our friends.

Lynn and Bob

"Downsizing and shifting to a new area when you are a "senior" is a very daunting prospect. When you have an agent like Abbie and Julie who are just so knowledgeable and helpful, it makes the whole process just that much easier and enjoyable. I would recommend Abbie and Julie to anyone who requires a "nothing is too much trouble" approach and just good old fashioned service."
