"Te Hawera, Pahiatua – March 2025 Our family engaged Blair Stevens, Dave Hutchison and the team at NZR in Masterton to manage the sale of our family dairy operation. Right from the start they engaged professionally and respectfully with all parties and walked us through the process step by step. We had a number of complications including limited preparation time, fluctuating land and dairy prices, multiple interested parties, and unexpected family events and nothing phased them. Blair and Dave approached everything with confidence and a positive attitude. From the beginning they were happy to work around everyone's schedules and built a great relationship with the current sharemilkers during a period where they had their own business to look after. They communicated with all parties in a manner that minimised any disruption and we trusted them totally to make decisions on the fly. During the process they recommended adjusting the marketing plan to gain more interest and this was immediately successful. They managed a complicated negotiation process where we had parties who wanted to purchase portions of the property, eventually they put together a package with a consortium that was highly satisfactory to ourselves and the buyers. We can only say that Blair and Dave are outstanding, and we look forward to working with them again in the near future. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. "

"Tuturewa - August 2024. We have known Blair and Dave for 3 years from the time we first approached them thinking about selling our farm to sale end. It wasn’t the easiest of journeys with a false start because of Cyclone Gabrielle and a farming recession by the time we were ready to go to sale again. Throughout this time we found their regular communication to be informative, professional and supportive and we felt assured they were doing their very best for us. We were always informed about any changes or developments in advance, and through a very challenging sale time they were understanding of the emotional rollercoaster we were going through. We were impressed with the marketing strategy put forward and the detailed farm information in the portfolio, along with wonderful photos of our lovely farm carefully positioned throughout. We wish them both the very best and are happy to be moving forward with our new lives thanks to their hard work in attaining a sale for us. "

"After making the difficult decision to sell, Jude and I chose NZR to market Ngaruru. Blair and Dave made our decision to sell as easy as possible with their advice on how to prepare the property and what to expect. Both communicated with us regularly and kept us up to date with all enquiries. We were very pleased with the process and with the outcome, both Jude and I would recommend to anyone to use Blair and Dave in marketing their property."

"We were recommended Blair Stevens and Dave Hutchison from NZR, when we made the big decision to sell our farm where we had lived and worked for 38yrs. From the initial meeting to the finalised sale, nothing was too much trouble. There was a clear plan with great communication, and excellent advertising and marketing. Dave kept us informed all the way, was always friendly, respectful and discreet and made the whole process seamless. We would happily recommend this highly professional team. "
