Best agent ever Helen is a hard-working dedicated real estate agent that gives 100% all of the time. A lot of agents on the Shore are very poor communicators and struggle with basic abilities, like answering their phone. Helen if busy will return your call as soon as possible otherwise answers her phone most of the time. Can’t say enough good things about her work and ability to sell property. 100% recommend.
~Steven
Best agent in the North Shore Helen has a wealth of market knowledge and works hard to market and present properties in a professional manner. She helped us find our home and worked for quite some time to get us across the line - this was really appreciated in a tight market. She also works well with other agents and agencies and is obviously well respected in the industry.
~Gregor and Louise
Hard work with integrity Helen worked extremely hard to sell a lovely home but with features particular to limited buyer groups. Helens persistence and patience pays off with a good price and topped it off by finding us a new home in an exceptionally tight market. We absolutely recommend Helen to sell your home if you are after a hardworking agent with integrity and passion.
~Pierre and Tracy
Helped us find the house we had been looking for Finding a new house to buy is time consuming and really hard dealing with so many different agents and companies. We loved the frank and honest conversation we got with Helen so gave her our brief and asked her to find us a house. The great thing about working with Helen is she can work with multiple agents so all we had to do was just turn up and she would line up the properties for us to view. Will never use another agent again and couldn’t recommend Helen highly enough.
~Emma
We had a great experience with Helen and couldn’t be happier with the outcome Great to deal with.lived up to every thing she told us
~Tom and Kaylee

~Tanya
Straightforward process Helen is honest, responsive and easy to deal with. I purchased a property from Helen last year and there was no ambiguity at any stage of the process. She always picks up the phone and you can expect a quick answer. I am happy to recommend Helen to anyone looking to purchase or sell their property in Auckland.
~Taras
Top agent two thumbs up Helen is a hard-working fantastic agent that gives her all all the time.
~Steven
Helen will work for YOU Helens years of experience, her connections, skills and knowledge gave me the confidence I needed to put the marketing and sale of my property in her hands. I followed her advice and went with quality home staging. The property looked stunning for the first open home which due to the imminent COVID lockdown, happened to be the last. My stress was alleviated as Helen sold the property on the eve of our first lockdown. Now, how good is that! What you know and who you know are major factors in choosing an agent.
~Elva
Successfully sold my mother's property and now working with Helen on selling my own property Helen achieved an outstanding sale price for my mother's property in Milford. Such was my level of satisfaction with Helen's performance that I have now engaged her to sell my own property. Helen is a hard working agent who has good instincts on what is required to ensure the seller receives an outstanding outcome. Helen is a good communicator who keeps you well appraised on developments as well as feeding back relevant information on what the "market" thinks of your property.. Helen is a 5 start agent and with her depth of knowledge and work ethic will always deliver the best outcome for the seller. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Helen to any prospective seller.
~John
Two property purchased in the last 18 months through Helen Helen is very professional, warm, an excellent communicator, honest and has wide networks to draw from as both purchasers and sellers. We will continue to work with Helen in the future.. .
~Gordon
Just too great no mater we are selling or buyer, Helen has been always able to address our need or achieve a great result.
~Yan
Birkenhead sale I chose Helen to sell my house on good advice and was very pleased that I did so. Helen was very positive and gave excellent recommendations about how to prepare the house to put it on the market (I had lived there for 40 years). I found Helen to be realistic and direct in our dealings so I was very happy with the sale process itself and with the outcome. She worked hard for the sale and was also helpful after it took place and before settlement. The sale was undertaken with minimum stress to me.
~Patrick
Professional, friendly and helpful Helen kept in mind my parents age and made the selling process as easy for them as she possibly could. She was always very professional and kept us up to date with what was happening. Helen has a friendly and helpful nature and her years in real estate showed with the information she provided throughout the selling process. She would be a great person to help you buy or sell your property.
~Moira
Selling our Family home of 50 years We approached Helen for her advice and guidance to navigate through the process of selling our parent's home of 50 years. After losing our mum 4 years ago and now with our dad moving into care, the decision had to be made to sell the much loved family home. With Helen's local market knowledge she presented her recommended sale options for our consideration. We were very impressed with the high level of detail Helen provided to us. We were kept up to date every step of the way from ensuring the necessary paperwork was completed and lodged, as well as keeping us up to date from every Open Home feedback. Helen was easily available to answer any questions we had. Thank you Helen for being alongside us through this journey which lead to a successful auction last week.
~Debbie
Helpful and friendly Helen’s one of the best agent. She is very helpful, easy to communicate with good work.
~Campbell
Perfect agent. In a challenging time to purchase a new home through a Covid lockdown, Helen was fantastic at arranging access / viewing's and managing what could have been a stressful process to a wonderful outcome. Would definitely recommend
~Michael
Outstanding result from a top agent Helen was brilliant to work with when we sold our much-loved family home. She is a consummate professional and made the whole process so easy and stress free. The advice she provided was spot on and the marketing campaign successfully attracted a good number of genuinely interested buyers. Helen ensured that every question from potential buyers was answered promptly so that when we went to auction, we were in the best possible position to sell. We would definitely recommend using Helen to sell your home as she is hard working, honest and open and she exceeded our expectations in service and with our sale price.
~Sinead
No BS with HS! Helen is a hard working, efficient, no-nonsense real estate agent. She knows her stuff and has a great network of people in the industry to assist when needed. Helen is straight talking, tells you how it is and gets the job done.
~Bich
Sooo competent! We were referred to Helen after selling successfully with another excellent Harcourts' agent out of town. Helen showed us several properties, getting a gauge for our needs. She also let, me know about several others for us to check out with drive-by's. It was really attentive and informative, but business like and zero pressure. Not sales-y or gushy, just genuinely helpful. I'm a bit fluffy and gushy myself and get embarrassed if I am wasting someone’s time, but not with Helen, she is one level-headed lady. Then, whoosh, we found the house. In two days she helped us get ready to buy - three family inspections, two building inspections, all questions answered, her own sales team called in where required, support at the auction, and good follow up. Also, the most comprehensive pre-purchase inspection that I've ever been part of - she checked everything for us. What a thorough agent! And now a friend. I'd definitely use Helen again, to buy or sell. As the old saying goes, if you want a job done well, ask a busy woman, she'll do it right first time.
~Penny
Excellent agent Helen helped myself and friend purchase our first home. From the get go Helen worked hard to find us a something we were after. Helen is an extremely hard working agent, and will do all she can for her clients. Much recommended.
~Matthew
Sale of Family home Helen was the agent for the sale of our family home. Our situation involved multiple family members. Helen successfully managed family expectations and personalities as well as the ebbs and flows of the sale process. We appreciated her pragmatism.
~Meegan
Property sale. Helen was the listing agent for my home in Milford, and within a month of it being listed, she had negotiated a successful sale for me, having 4 offers presented to me in a multi-offer scenario. Helen worked hard with regular open homes, additional private viewings and always kept me up to date with feedback etc. She also worked really hard to facilitate a mutually satisfactory agreement between the successful buyers and myself in terms of getting all the conditions satisfied really quickly in order for me to move forward with my plans to relocate. At all times Helen was professional, friendly and reliable, and I have no hesitation in recommending her to future, prospective clients.
~Gaylene
Super professional. I would recommend the additional experience and knowledge Helen has, in every aspect of the real estate market. You will get the very best advice, to encourage you to prepare your property for the best possible sale. She uses her abilities to guide you in all aspects of selling your home. She sets up a marketing program, that suits the situation to ensure the best buyers are viewing your property. She will actively follow up and provide feed back. She is always a step ahead , and the experience she has shows. She is always available for you - the client.
~Fiona
Helen found us the perfect first home Helen helped us find the perfect first home when the market was at its most difficult for first time buyers. After some unsuccessful auctions, Helen recommended we try a different technique at the auction and it resulted in us being the highest bidder and securing our home! Helen has an excellent knowledge of the market and let us know as soon as a new house was available to view. This was incredibly important when houses were selling so quickly, frequently prior to the auction date. I recommend Helen to anyone looking for a house. Her knowledge of the area is a real asset and her expertise provides you with the confidence you need when making such an important purchase.
~Emily
Professional and good communication. Helen sold 2 houses for my wife and I, I found Helen to be very proficient and easy to deal with. We were very happy with her professional manner and found her to be very knowledgeable with the market and approach to the selling of the properties. Helen is certainly an agent to consider!
~Stephen and Jospehine
excellent sale. Thank you to be a real estate agent and be come a friend. She is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. She really care about hers clients as well as the community and neighborhood she live in. She has a thorough knowledge of her job, communicates effectively and is a pleasure to work with. thank so much Helen
~Chi and Long
Top agent, top result! We work with Helen to sell our property. Helen was knowledgeable, gave constructive feedback and sourced the right experts to present our property to its best. I recommend Helen if your looking for an expert to guide you through the sales process.
~Peter
Fantastic result and professional, personable service. We used Helen due to her recent impressive results selling similar properties in our area. She did not disappoint. Her knowledge of the market, straight talking style, suggested sales strategy and execution were all invaluable and made the entire process straightforward. Highly recommended.
~Stephen
Fantastic job in 10 days. This is the 5th house Helen has sold for me and I value her experience, professionalism and work ethic. I listed on Friday and sold within 10 days for a price I was extremely happy with.
~Lyn
Very knowledgeable and friendly agent. Buying a house is stressful at the best of times, Helen made me feel at ease throughout the process. I had been looking for a property for many months and found my dream house. Very happy! Thanks Helen
~Michael
10/10 for Helen. I would just like to thank Helen for all the help she gave me whilst I was searching for my first home. It was an extremely stressful time losing one property after another but with Helen by my side giving me advice and encouragement it gave me the push I needed to keep pursuing properties. Her knowledge of the market was top notch and her determination to find me a suitable property was outstanding. Thank you Helen.
~Thomas
Having bought and sold with Helen Shaw six years ago, I had no hesitation of working with Helen again. Helen is a no-nonsense, straight-talking, workaholic! Helen updated me regularly throughout the campaign, with feedback I found invaluable when setting my auction reserve. She made the whole process easy from start to finish. I have no hesitation in recommending Helen to any prospective client and cannot speak highly enough of her. She has integrity and is a true professional, a 100% stand out in the Real Estate industry! Janie Stone A very happy client
~Janie Stone
We have found Helen to be a really good communicator (keeping us fully informed on what is happening) and very straight in all her dealings. She always acts on our behalf with integrity. Overall, we would highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for an active agent with lots of contacts and totally driven by success for her clients. Joe
~Joe Wallace
Just a quick note to thank you for all your hard work, both in taking the property to the market and running a very effective campaign, and your work on the night of the auction to ensure we got the desired result. Your professionalism throughout has been most appreciated. Regards Gary
~Gary Ellison
I’m fortunate to have met Helen three years ago when I bought my Albany apartment. I had no hesitation in contacting her to sell the apartment this year. As expected Helen continued to be extrememly professional. She brought a friendliness to her approach that made me feel relaxed and confident in her ability as an agent. She was straight up and always positive. Helen worked hard. She explained everything along the way, including the legal and ethical standards of her role, so there was no doubt where I stood at any given moment. She is generous too. I found Helen dependable and I have no hesitation in recommending her. I would not consider going to anyone else for property in Auckland as she worked hard for me in selling and buying.
~Moeawa Callaghan
Thank you Helen for the extra mile you went in to in order to sell my mother's property. Over the years I have been involved in buying four properties and selling six, and without doubt you are the best agent I have dealt with. I felt totally comfortable with your advice and honesty, and safe in the knowledge that I wasn't being told just what I wanted to hear. I have no hesitation using you again in the future and am quite happy to recommend you to friends and family. Many thanks Helen Peter Charles
~Peter Charles
Hi Helen I am writing this email to thank you for the effort you put in while selling the property 1/104 Sylvia Ave, Northcross on my behalf. We were referred to Helen by a family member who has worked with Helen for many years. Helen’s market knowledge, advice and expertise were invaluable in setting up the sale of our investment property. Helen worked very hard for us throughout the entire campaign. She was in regular communication and provided thorough updates, progress and feedback after viewings so we knew what was happening. Our property was broadly marketed over many platforms to reach a wide variety of buyers. We have no hesitation in recommending Helen as a very professional agent who gets the job done and creates an exceptional client experience in the process. Thanks Helen Aaron Song
~Arron Song
We worked with Helen to sell our home in Takapuna. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the sales process, and made everything as stress free as possible. I would happily recommend Helen to anyone who is looking at selling their home, or purchasing within the area.
~Mark and Hayley
"We are so glad we chose Helen to sell our first home. She has guided us through the process and has been there every step of the way to support us. Helen is an expert saleswoman, and she marketed our house across online, print and social media to reach a wide variety of buyers. Helen’s expert approach and enthusiasm paid off for us on auction day, where we had multiple bidders and achieved a great price. "
~Ryan and Wendy
I found Helen to be very helpful in all aspects of my house sale. She made sure all relevant documentation was completed and kept me up to date at all times. Helen is professional as well as being a lovely person to deal with. I would highly recommend using Helen’s expertise when selling your real estate and wish her well for the future.
~Zosia
When selling a Milford unit on behalf of our 94 year old mother, having Helen as the estate agent turned out to be an inspired choice. Her marketing, local bylaw and property knowledge was both impressive and reassuring. The speed at which she facilitated and organised all the finer details makes her highly recommended.
~Ray Lannie
Helen sold my Castor Bay Road property via auction. I contacted Helen because she is an ex colleague of mine and I admire and trust her explicitly. As a fellow real estate salesperson I saw how hard Helen worked, she has a tenacity seldom seen in this industry. Helen is highly intelligent as seen from the letters after name, she has a quick brain and is always thinking of ways she can get the best price for her vendors and also for her own satisfaction, a job well done. She looks at the big picture from all angles. Helen persuaded me to use the auctioneer she knew would get me the best price, to see him working on the day of my sale, I saw first-hand how he never gives up, squeezing every last dollar out of buyers, as is his job, this is what you are paying for. Helen doesn’t just get your listing, whack up a sign, put your property online and wait for someone to buy it. She is in contact with you every step of the way, phoning you after every open home, giving you market feedback and suggesting little things you can do to get the very best from your property. Because Helen has been selling properties on the North Shore for 13 years she has a huge depth of knowledge of her area, a database of real buyers and satisfied vendors who she keeps in contact with.
~Susan Goddard
You made the purchase of our home 7 years ago, absolutely easy. When we decided to sell, your support and guidance through the whole process has been invaluable. From the stream of text messages and calls, to helping us with our nerves on auction day. We really appreciate all the effort you have put in to helping us sell our home and allowing us to move on to our next adventure. Thanks Helen.
~Desma Houghton
I've worked with Helen now for a number of years, and every time she comes up on top! On my last house she got me top dollar, I had 3 cash buyers, a bidding war... and an amazing result! Thank you again. Helen is professional, honest, a straight shooter, no mess, get it done agent! I love working with her, she's fantastic. Looking forward to the next one.

Reference on Helen Shaw Recently we made a decision to sell one of our rental properties and as part of this we talked to a couple of sales agents from Barfoot & Thompson and Harcourts. Both agents were very helpful and enthusiastic about selling our house. However, we choose to go with Helen Shaw being very impressed by her energy, ideas and infectious positive attitude. Helen, who was a good listener, gave us an indication on the likely price range our house would sell for and was highly motivated to promote and finalise a sale prior to Christmas (only 6 weeks away when we signed up with her). Helen guided us in terms of house presentation to optimise the final price and she promoted our property across Harcourts agents and externally through a variety of publications, electronic media and fliers. After the first weekend of ‘open homes’, amazingly, she presented us with a pre-auction offer and facilitated a price that was accepted by both parties. We were delighted with the closing offer that went through the auction process. Helen did exactly what she said and kept us informed, offered useful suggestions along the way and was very helpful in every way, providing us, for example, with contacts for cleanup work we needed to complete before listing the property and put us in contact with an excellent staging company. Given our experience, we would highly recommend Helen…and will certainly engage her next time we have a house to sell. Joe and Edith Wallace Murrays Bay
~Edith and Joe
We chose Helen to sell our property at auction after a careful deliberation and selection process and our decision was justified. Everything went smoothly from day one and on auction day her working in tandem with Andrew North was a pleasure to watch. In our mind, it was definitely teamwork between those two that produced a result we were very happy with. We thought Andrew was outstanding as auctioneer. In my line of work I come across a lot of agents and Helen is up there with the best of them without question. She works tirelessly and will never tell you something just so that you can hear it - she was very honest and up-front with us during the marketing and sale process and that was very refreshing. I would easily recommend her. Nick & Anne
