"I would like to take this opportunity to thank and recommend Cheryl Barber and Mark Logan from Leaders Real Estate, Wellington. We chose Cheryl and Mark based on their reputations as being passionate, experienced, accessible professionals. We were not disappointed. We were fortunate that Cheryl and Mark were available to assist us in preparing our home, marketing and selling it on The Terrace. They were reliable, knowledgeable, honest and most personable. Thank you for your hard work and a great result. We couldn’t be more happy with your efforts." February 2017

I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Cheryl Barber to take you through the sales process. Cheryl came highly recommended and delivered on her reputation. I can attest to her professionalism and her commitment to stay engaged throughout the entire process right up to the time of settlement and to actively respond to any obstacles that may arise. Cheryl walks the talk. She told me she would do all that was required to get a top price and she did; whether this was doing a final clean of the kitchen or liaising with relevant trades people. She also recommended a number of tradespeople to undertake work that was required. All of these providers delivered a high quality of service. I was an absent owner living in Europe during the sales process and so it was very important for me that I employed an agent that I could trust and who was willing to work with the additional complexities that this situation created. The sales preparation phase of my property was not an easy one following the discovery of the need for a code of compliance certificate from Wellington City Council for work carried out on my property some 10 years earlier. On top of that some earthquake damage was discovered in a concrete pile that needed to be repaired before the Council would sign off the compliance certificate. Cheryl responded to each of the many obstacles that arose in a constructive way and always consulted with me in a timely manner and was willing to correspond directly with relevant people, on my behalf, so these issues could be addressed as quickly as possible. The sale of my property turned out to be a much more complicated process than expected due to me being an absent owner and the many unexpected issues that arose. I always had confidence in Cheryl and could trust her to do what was necessary to get things done and this certainly reduced the stress associated with this process. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Cheryl Barber. Yours sincerely Gillian Mylrea Paris, France 21 July 2017

We are writing to thank you for selling our family home in Bolton Street. Given the situation of our home, a young house in amongst older traditional homes, we needed somebody knowledgeable, honest, and professional to guide us through the process. Your extra care and professionalism in the preparation and presentation of the property made a difference and you were obviously up to the task of meeting the needs of the buyers. The advice and market insight you provided in regard to the approach to the sale also proved to be right. The realisation from the property exceeded our expectations and we have no hesitation in recommending you to other vendors.
