I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Mel who recently helped me sell my apartment in Gulf Harbour. It’s always a stressful time selling but Mel made the process as easy as possible. She was always professional, honest and reliable and went that extra mile to help resolve any issues that came up. I’d recommend Mel to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate on the Hibiscus Coast.

I met Melanie at an open home for an apartment. I missed out on buying that particular one but she worked diligently for me to find another. And it was a real beauty. She treated me with respect and like a friend. She was very supportive as I went through buying a property on my own for the first time. I could not have asked for more. As a buyer I felt Mel really listened. She found me exactly the place I was looking for, then supported me through the whole purchase process. She celebrated with me along the way as each bridge was crossed and moving in became a reality

We have completed the Harcourts survey on line, but would like to add our personal thanks to you. Despite the difficult situation we all found ourselves in, you provided us with honest advice and comment which no doubt contributed significantly to the way we were able to agree on the sale of our property. We would like to again say thank you, and to let you know we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others should they need someone to market their property. Kind regards,

It was our pleasure dealing with you as our agent. Communication is so important in real estate and people do get stressed but you managed the process very professionally. Thanks again and good luck with your future business. Regards

Hi Melanie, Thank you so so much for all of your help with 4/532 Whangaparaoa Road. It was such a fantastic feeling to get the keys today and a lovely lovely surprise to have a gift basket waiting there too! Still hasn't really sunk in yet that we bought a house! We will definitely be sure to recommend you if we know of anyone selling their house. Hoping your other settlements went as smoothly as ours did. Warmest regards

Dear Mels, It was a real pleasure to work with you in the sale of my property. As a busy career person located distantly from the property you sold, I was so impressed with the contact you had with me which was always friendly and in a superb manner whilst being most professional. I felt you were looking after my interests, always available to me - obviously an intelligent, hard-working and trust-worthy person. A seller or buyer rely on good honest people like you to look after their requirements, thank you. Best wishes

A team working for both sellers and buyers We highly recommend Mel and Andrew whether you are selling or purchasing property. Their goal is to work with both parties to achieve the best outcome for everyone. Excellent communication keeping us in touch at all times and professional negotiation skills when it came to the 'nitty gritty'. All delivered in a friendly personal manner that made us feel more than just another customer. Mel had a good understanding of our dream house, found it and then provided us the best opportunity to purchase it, all within a three week timespan. Now that's what we call service! We would highly recommend this team and will certainly use them again in the future.

Hi Melanie, John and I would like to send you a note to sincerely THANK YOU for your wonderful lead and guidance through the sale of our property in Gulf Harbour. We have bought and sold several properties in New Zealand over the past 20 years, and could “wright a book” about our various experiences. However, this time we felt in very professional hands. From the first pre-marketing meeting, right through preparations and the actual auction sale you and your team at Harcourts have given us your consistently friendly and outstanding service, and some very much needed calming words during this quite stressful time. Hope to catch up with you, before we leave the area early next week. Warm regards,
Andrea - 3 Voyager Drive, Gulf Harbour
Hi Melanie, I just wanted you to know how easy and stress free you made this house purchase! From start to finish you have been a joy to deal with, in fact you have felt more like a friend than anything else as you have held my hand at every step of the way. Your patience when dealing with my husband Andy's many phone calls has been much appreciated. Here I am now in my dream house very grateful to you for our lifestyle change. By the way thank you also for your suggestions about improvements (like the cafe curtains).
Colleen & Andrew Mantle - 18 MIdshipman Court, Gulf Harbour
We sold our home at Gulf Harbour with Harcourts Manly, our agent being Melanie Gibbons. We were so pleased with the results of our sale, and especially happy with the commitment, experience and enthusiasm shown by Melanie. Melanie has a bubbly, friendly personality, she is very honest and approachable with a real passion for selling property. Living local for many years, she therefore has a vast knowledge of the local area and amenities. Previous to becoming an Estate Agent Melanie had an excellent financial background working for a top New Zealand bank. We found this to be very useful as Melanie was more than helpful with the financial side of moving, and removed all the stress associated with selling/buying. We are confident to highly recommend Melanie if you are thinking of buying or selling, she is great and gets the job done.
Susan & Barry Walshaw

We are aware of how much extra work this has meant for you. We were grateful for the ongoing communication and constant updates of every small detail and your feelings about these. We feel lucky that we had you as our agent in this. Our most, very best wishes and thanks.

Merry Christmas! It has been a very special one for our family. When I said I hoped our house would sell before Christmas I knew it would be a challenge with only a few weeks to go. You were enthusiastic and determined from the start and I knew we were in good hands. You quickly identified the unique features of our property and marketed it well. The way Harcourts work as a team was so impressive. Thank you for selling our house, making it so easy for us and being positive and genuine throughout.
Rachel and Greig
We have used Harcourts to sell two homes already and have to say that Melanie Gibbons is one of the most organised, passionate and hard working people we know. She has moved heaven and earth for us every time. One of the sales she handled for us was very tricky but Melanie was a rock star! She was understanding and compassionate and has the BEST advice! She has always guided us and talked us through every single thing. We have had the most professional experience with Melanie and would recommend her to anyone!
