Keith and Sandy Dowdle are among some of the most respected agents in the wider Ponsonby area and their tagline of “A Fresh Approach in Real Estate” sums up what lies at the heart of their success. They have very quickly built up an impressive track record of sales, and an ever growing list of detailed positive feedback from their clients is testimony to the fact that the market has responded well to their Fresh Approach.

"We have lived in the area for over 5 years and have seen Keith and Sandy working tirelessly at many open homes. When we came to sell our home they seemed the natural choice. They presented and executed a professional marketing plan, resulting in over 70 groups through the open home in the first weekend! Within two and a half weeks they negotiated and presented a pre-auction offer to us, which we were delighted to accept. The sale was an easy and painless process and we recommend Keith and Sandy without hesitation." Scott and Rebecca, Sellers and Buyers.

They have enjoyed significant success in the turbulent period in the market since 2007, and this is no coincidence. Both vendors and purchasers relate well to Keith and Sandy’s professional yet friendly approach, and the results that they have achieved in a changing market bear testament to their skills as marketers and negotiators.

Keith and Sandy believe every property demands 100% attention and professional care. They work closely together, and have recently added their sales assistant Sarah Wilson to the team taking their professionalism to a new level, ensuring that both vendor and purchaser receive the top notch service they deserve.

“We have recently sold our house through Keith and Sandy Dowdle (Ray White). Right from the first meeting through to conclusion of the sale, we found both Keith and Sandy to be extremely professional, practical, empathetic, and friendly. They were very practical and economical in their recommendations regarding the level of marketing required. They are not Agents that do the “hard sell” or the “real estate speak”, they just offer you realistic practical advice and let you make your own mind as to how you want to proceed. They know the market extremely well, and after one weekend of open homes found a buyer for our house at a record price.

They also found the perfect house for us to buy, and again gave us good practical advice and recommendations in negotiating the purchase.

Once the contracts were unconditional they kept in touch and were very helpful with the little problems encountered to ensure that the sale and purchase went through with the least stress possible. Their service extended beyond what I expected and certainly beyond what I would expect other Agents would do. I would have no hesitation in recommending Keith and Sandy to anyone looking to buy or sell." Heather Webster, Sellers and Buyers.

In 2010, choice of agent is more important than ever. The agent you choose to list with is the single most important factor determining the outcome of the sale of your property. Keith and Sandy bring an unbeatable blend of proven results, fresh service, and a positive outcome for all concerned.

Keith and sandy choose to specialise in the City Fringe suburbs of Kingsland and Arch Hill through to Grey Lynn and Ponsonby.

What clients say about Keith and Sandy:

THRILLED WITH THE EXPERIENCE
We were thrilled with our house selling experience.
Keith and Sandy developed a marketing campaign that
attracted significant numbers of potential buyers and
resulted in our property being sold after one weekend
of open homes. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
Keith and Sandy. They are very professional, friendly
and great to deal with.”

Matt and Toni O’Brien, Sellers

EASY AND PAINLESS PROCESS
"We have lived in Arch Hill for over 5 years and have
seen Keith and Sandy working tirelessly at many open
homes in the area. When we came to sell our home
they seemed the natural choice. They presented and
executed a professional marketing plan, resulting in
over 70 groups through the open home in the first
weekend! Within two and a half weeks they negotiated
and presented a pre-auction offer to us, which we were
delighted to accept. The sale was an easy and painless
process and we recommend Keith and Sandy without
hesitation."

Scott and Rebecca, Sellers and Buyers

THE ONLY AGENTS WE CONSIDERED
“When we decided to sell our house Keith and Sandy
were the only agents we considered. Their knowledge
and experience of selling in Arch Hill meant we had a
lot of confidence from the outset. They didn't disappoint,
their professionalism and proactivity meant we
ended up selling two weeks prior to auction with two
offers to choose from. They were a pleasure to deal
with, made the process easy for us and even helped us
in our search to buy a property in Grey Lynn.
Thanks again!”

Ken and Emma Brophy, Sellers

NO "REAL ESTATE SPEAK" OR "HARD SELL"
"We have recently sold our house through Keith and

to be extremely professional, practical, empathetic,
and friendly. They were very practical and economical

Heather Webster, Seller and Buyer

COMPLETE CONFIDENCE
“All I can say is WOW. Helpful, trustworthy, and friendly
are the first things that spring to mind when I think of
Keith, all of which gave me complete confidence in
purchasing a property whilst based in London. I look
forward to dealing with them again in the future.”

Aaron Trebilco, Seller and Buyer

THE ANTI-REAL ESTATE AGENT
"Keith is kind of the anti-real-estate-agent, which believe
me, is a compliment. He was a good listener, was good
at understanding what I was after, and was always available to talk. But mainly, Keith wasn’t about the hype and fireworks normally associated with house sales.
He was more about solid, timely advice delivered in an
understated relaxed way.”

Brendan Donovan, Buyer

CHANGED MY PERCEPTION
"Sandy and Keith changed my perception of real
estate agents, in a good way. They apply a genuine,
relaxed approach and took a real personal interest,
which made me feel really secure throughout the purchase of my first home.”

Natasha Bell, Buyer

THE ONLY AGENT TO FOLLOW UP
“Sandy was the only agent to follow up our contact to
ascertain whether or not we had located a property.
During the course of our dealings with Sandy, we
always found her to be very pleasant, helpful and
knowledgeable. Her time was always readily given with nothing being too much of a problem.”

Fred and Jenny Davis, Sellers and Buyers

EASY AND STRESS-FREE
“We really enjoyed working with Keith and Sandy –
they are a great team. They made the whole process
into an easy and stress-free exercise and, importantly,
achieved the result we wanted. Keith and Sandy are
extremely hardworking and professional - we would
strongly recommend them to anyone considering selling.
Thanks guys!"

Susan and Ryan, Sellers

SET A RECORD
“After one weekend of Open Homes, Keith and Sandy
presented me with two offers, finally negotiating a sale price of over $665,000 that not only exceeded my
expectations but also set a record for a local property.
I have no hesitation in recommending Keith and Sandy to any homeowner who would like a similar result.”

Lance Davis, Seller

HONEST AND WITH GREAT RAPPORT
It was very reassuring to have such honest agents working for me, giving sound advice and encouragement
throughout the whole process. Being an absentee
vendor, it was difficult for me to assess the Auckland
market but you provided me with relevant information
to help with my decisions. Also you maintained a great
rapport with my tenant and made everything plain sailing
for everyone.

REGULAR FEEDBACK
Your regular feedback kept me well informed as to the
market trends and helped me to achieve an acceptable
sale price in a relatively short space of time."

Joy, Seller.
