WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
I was recently Executor of a deceased estate where we engaged Philippa to sell the property. I have nothing but praise for Philippa. Her advice and management of the campaign was great. Nothing was too difficult and I really believe she had our (vendor) best interests front and centre!
Thanks Philippa!
Dan Ostwind, Greenhithe
As we were first home sellers we were completely new to the process. We had decided to relocate out of the Auckland area and were working to a very tight timeframe. When we had our first meeting with Ange & Pip we immediately felt at ease. They explained everything to us very clearly, answered all our questions and gained our complete trust. We loved how they checked in with us regularly and looked after us throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend working with Ange & Pip and the Harcourts team, their professionalism was outstanding. We would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
Vanessa & Mike, Hobsonville Point
Angela Tobin was our agent from Harcourts we used for the sale of our house. We preferred to go with one agency that appeared to be the most successful in our area. Harcourts had sold most of the houses in our street in the past year and Angela was the agent in at least one sale we knew of.
Angela demonstrated understanding of the market and provided us with strategic and tactical inputs to allow us to make better calls on our approach to market. Whilst the market was bullish from a vendor point of view, Angela was also good at networking the opportunity within the greater Harcourts and other agencies when we discussed the option.
Angela has shown great professionalism and we would not hesitate to recommend her for the selling of your house.
Michele & Linda Prins, Greenhithe
We recently had the pleasure of working with Philippa Edgar to sell a property of ours in Greenhithe. We found the sale process from start to finish to be seamless which was particularly important given that we were selling from overseas. Philippa’s ability to manage all areas from getting the house ready for sale, arranging staging, and the compilation of marketing portfolio was highly professional. We were kept well informed of the selling process stage by stage which was reassuring and provided great peace of mind.
The end result was a sale price well beyond what we could have hoped for. Although the market dictates to some extent, having the right Sales Agent is pivotal to a successful and stress-free sale. We highly recommend Philippa.

We’d like to extend a huge, warm thank you to Angela who helped us secure our beautiful family home in the location of our dreams! We had been on the hunt for the perfect home for nearly 9 months and we had experienced agents who did not listen our needs, weren’t being honest with us and (who we felt) didn’t appreciate the seriousness of such a huge financial decision.
When we met Angela at our now new home, not only did we love the house but we immediately felt comfortable with the agent. We knew this house was a keeper, so we wanted to act quickly and put our best offer forward. Angela respected our wishes, understood what we needed and for once we felt as though we had an agent that cared for both the vendor and the purchaser. She was friendly, honest and worked hard for us to secure our new home. She kept us fully updated the entire time and always made herself available for the many questions we had! She honestly made the very stressful, emotional ride that much easier and I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone in the area looking for a down-to-earth, honest, no-nonsense agent. THANK YOU!
The Slade family,
We have recently sold our home in Greenhithe. We approached Angela Tobin of Harcourts to handle the sale and marketing of our home where we have lived for the past 43 years. From the first meeting Angela handled the process very professionally and always with a bright smile and friendly manner. We were given a full explanation following the appraisal of the property, as well as the different ways in which the sale could be handled.
Angela’s help in preparing the house for viewings and the open homes was really wonderful. At no time was she intrusive and always treated us with respect. The security of our home was never an issue as Angela was meticulous and always closed windows, turned off lights, locked doors and activated the alarm.
The final negotiations were again handled in a professional manner and at no time did we feel pressured to accept an offer that we were unhappy with. We were always confident of her support.
We would have no hesitation in recommending her to handle any property sale.
Trevor & Cheryl Strong, Greenhithe
After 31 years of living in Greenhithe, we finally made a decision to sell. We met numerous agents from other Real Estate, but once we got to know Angela Tobin from Harcourts, we were convinced she was the one to sell our home. She explained to us the different methods we could use to put our home on the market, she worked diligently and was very professional and kept us up to date daily with every important detail.
We were very satisfied with the results of her program that she advised us to use, with a very satisfactory outcome. Everything went very smoothly, and our house was sold in a very short time.
We can highly recommend Angela as a very professional agent and delightful person to deal with.
Bernard & Cynthia Brodie, Greenhithe
Thank you kindly for your lovely gift Philippa, we really feel it is you who should be on the receiving end.
Against our better judgement we accepted your advice and guidance and took a different road to a great result, thank you.
We must tell you, you are one of the Worlds Great Treasures and a lovely person with a charming sense of humour to boot. Your short experience in the career you have chosen is not reflected in the integrity and professionalism you have shown.
We wish you great, and on going, success.
Myra & David Jonkers, Greenhithe
I’m writing to thank you for selling what was my first home, in Greenhithe. For my first time selling a property, I wanted somebody knowledgeable, honest, and professional to guide me through the process. You were all that and more! Not only did you sell my home very quickly, you kept in touch with me at all times of the process.
My home was marketed well and thanks to you living in area, resulted in plenty of interest in the property. I appreciated being kept informed of discussions with interested buyers and especially grateful to you for coming over whenever required, even after usual business hours.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends, family and any other potential sellers.
Kameron Greenlees, Greenhithe
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Angela Tobin of Harcourts Greenhithe.
We listed our home with Harcourts giving Greenhithe Branch sole agency to market and sell our property. Throughout all transactions and negotiations Angela has been professional, friendly and supportive. She has offered advice when needed, kept us up to date with progress and guided us through the quick and efficient sale of our home. Angela definitely made the whole experience a happy one, and as smooth as possible and with the least amount of stress. We would have no hesitation in recommending her as an excellent real estate agent to anyone wishing to sell their home.
Taanya Alderson, Greenhithe
True to her word, Angela diligently executed each component of our sales campaign, which resulted in a strong presence at our auction and ultimately the successful sale of our much loved home! So, thank you Angela for your professional advice and support through the daunting auction process. We believe that you did everything you could to help us achieve the best possible outcome for our sale (which is what the auction process is all about)…much appreciated!
Tamarina & Jack Winters, Greenhithe
Our house was a difficult house to sell and Philippa did a fantastic job for months and months preparing and attending open homes and probably doing much more then we realised because we no longer lived in Greenhithe. We found her easy to communicate with, always flexible and willing to go the extra mile for us. And when she sold our house she travelled an hour and half to present us with a delightful gift.
Thank you Philippa!
Rose Wilkinson, Greenhithe
Angela Tobin was really helpful in talking us through each of the steps of selling our property and in fact we ended up selling in only 5 days due to her excellent skills! She let us make the decisions, but always provided options to work best for your situation, so you are fully in control of what works best for you. You feel fully informed on all the choices available to you. She is quick, efficient and responsive in all her communications. As a seller based overseas, she really went above and beyond to ensure all of the details were taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Vanessa Jenner, Te Atatu
I recently had the pleasure of selling my home where Angela was my agent.
It was lovely to have an agent who was so trustworthy. I had no worries at all as regards her having a key to the house and she was always so careful at ensuring that the house was exactly as she found it at the end of viewings by clients. Angela was reliable at keeping appointments and considerate in arranging times for meetings and viewings.
Her communication was thorough and professional. She was clear about disclosing issues and showed integrity when liaising between potential purchasers and myself.
She worked hard at exploring all avenues for attracting clients to view the property and often went the extra mile.
All in all Angela was excellent to work with and we were very pleased at the successful outcome.
Gillian Ruffles, Massey
In a heated Auckland property market we were actively seeking to buy a rental property. Angela worked closely with us, in a no pressure way bringing different properties to our attention and attending auctions with us in support until we finally made a purchase. Always happy to help and did so in a friendly manner. Thanks Angela
Andrew & Paula, Greenhithe
Philippa Edgar worked tirelessly to sell my beautiful property in Greenhithe. She is a lady with integrity and did a marvellous job of listening to my needs as a seller. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa’s services as an agent due to her abilities and genuine kindness. I was nervous about the sale process, due to the years I had spent residing at my property, but Philippa spent a lot of time reassuring me and talking me through the process. Harcourts should be proud of Philippa and I thank her sincerely for all she did for me.
Terry Locke, Greenhithe
Angela has been a delight to work with in our recent real estate adventures. Right from when we were looking for a site through to selling our home. The thing we really like about Angela is that when she says she will do something, she does it. When there is some news, she gets to the bottom of it and reports back. When there is a meeting, she texts a reminder. Can’t beat the communication without it being imposing. Even on the day of settlement when we left a wrong key behind, Angela was around to the house in a flash and swapped the keys, even though she was having a busy day. Thanks.
David & Angela Grubb, Greenhithe
One word describes Philippa Edgar: “integrity”.
It’s a rare word in Real Estate.
Philippa took up the challenge of selling my house … in two weeks … over Christmas and New Year … in a falling market … with energy, professionalism and aplomb.
She gave great advice, campaigned hard and got me the result I needed.
I would absolutely recommend Philippa to anyone selling their property.
Jo Lawrence-King, Hobsonville Point
Angela is a superb real estate professional. I felt I could trust her from the beginning with complete honesty and transparency, qualities not often familiar to Real Estate!
Purchasing a significant property through Angela seemed easy and enjoyable. This was all down to her hard work, helpful friendly nature, and positive attitude throughout the process. Angela goes beyond her role to ensure all parties are considered. My next purchase will start with a phone call to Angela to get the ball rolling in such good hands!
Thanks so much Angela!
D Philipps, Greenhithe
Philippa helped us to find the right home much faster than we had anticipated. Just over a few little chats she precisely understood our needs and likes, then walked us through from home visits to transaction handover with great responsiveness, patience and communication skills. In some sense she took some stress away from us who are first home buyers and basically new comers to New Zealand. Highly appreciated!
