-Vendor (Killarney Street, Takapuna) 

Excellent job
'Victoria was very helpful especially given our complex situation, which involved buying as visa holders still residing offshore, needing to make an offer contingent on OIO approval. She knew a lot about the market, the pros and cons of the property we were considering, trends in the market, and potential improvement angles we might one day pursue.'  
-Purchaser (Kitchener Road, Takapuna)

Victoria will be on speed dial next time we are buying or selling!
‘Victoria was amazing right through the process. Her communication and perseverance was first class. Getting a deal done on this particular property was really tough, long and settlement date was unclear causing a very difficult situation. Victoria went well over and above in this deal to make sure our family was not displaced and we very much appreciated it Whether buying or selling Victoria will be the first agent we call. Thank you so much Victoria!’
-Purchaser (Seacliffe Avenue, Belmont)

Professional and Helpful
Victoria was professional to deal with and very helpful throughout the whole process. She also worked hard for both parties to reach a successful outcome. She is an expert in the Devonport area.
-Purchaser (William Bond Street, Stanley Bay)

Strong Waterfront Specialist
'Victoria was strong in her knowledge of high-end waterfront property. This was backed by the wide reach of the Bayley's Waterfront magazine and client database to pull in a global base of prospective buyers. She developed a good plan to market the property and provided regular updates. She also has a good network of associated functions, such as staging, which was really helpful.'
-Vendor (Beach Road)

Victoria is the real deal
Victoria loves homes, she communicates her market knowledge so well that it was easy to make the decisions we needed to get the right buyer and sale value for our property. Her pre-sale advice helped us achieve perfect staging to showcase to likely buyers how good the house was as a family home. Her feedback during a somewhat lengthy sales process in a changing and challenging market gave us the patience to stay on the right track to achieve a great outcome for us and the eventual purchaser for whom the house was perfect. Victoria's attention to detail and well practiced professional service was a formulae that worked very well for us.
-Vendor (Bayview Road, Hauraki)

Working with Victoria
We bought a property in a very compressed timeframe over Christmas 2022. Victoria's perceptive communication and practical approach worked well with us. This level of service continued after going unconditional and through to settlement. Victoria is clearly a very experienced agent, with great backup from Nicky. Hard to imagine the process being more straightforward, really ...
-Purchaser (Bayview Road, Hauraki)

Trouble Free
As a potential buyer we found Victoria to be open and honest regarding the property. She answered all our questions without hesitation and kept us informed throughout the process. She seemed to anticipate as much or as little assistance as necessary. It was a comfortable and pleasant experience.

Fab experience
Victoria found our new home and sold our current home.  Great to deal with both her and all her team at Bayley's Takapuna residential!  Extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process including the auction day and beyond.  At no point did we feel 'pushed' or pressured into anything.  Would highly recommend Victoria for a sale and/or purchase of your treasured home.

-Vendors (Calliope Road)

A tale of an old house in Devonport and some very happy purchasers
We were perhaps wary of Victoria before we met her Knowing how successful an agent she is in the area and half expected to be bullied into compliance. As it turned out, Victoria was a pleasure to deal with and very fair and honest in negotiating the sale of the house we came to buy. The whole process has been a relatively easy one thanks in no small part to Victoria’s professionalism and integrity.
-Purchasers (Mays Street)

Victoria is an expert in patience
'Victoria gave the impression of a "career" agent with a very professional approach. This built a level of trust I would not typically have with a real estate agent. She was particularly patient and dealt with my quite unreasonable demands with dignity. I can highly recommend.'
-Purchasers (Beresford Street)

Superb, professional, knowledgeable
'Thank you Victoria - we had a great experience purchasing our new home. Victoria’s knowledge and expertise made the process smooth and painless the whole way through. Nothing was a problem or too much to ask. She has a great industry knowledge that was invaluable and is also a very pleasant person to work with. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.'
-Purchasers (Cheltenham Road)

A very enjoyable experience.
'I have dealt with Victoria over many years and have brought two houses through her. In my dealing she has always acted with integrity and honesty and with her friendly personality have found it a pleasurable experience.'
-Purchasers (Summer Street)

Victoria sold our home and we bought another through her.
‘Victoria's service is highly professional, personable and expert. She takes time to understand her client's specific needs and maintains strong communication through a process. She has a very deep knowledge of her 'patch' on the North Shore. She takes an interest in her clients and has forged a long term relationship with us over a number of years. We trust her’.
-Vendors (Stanley Point Road)

Victoria's knowledge and expertise have helped us achieve excellent results as both buyer and seller
‘We highly recommend Victoria. Her knowledge and expertise have helped us achieve excellent outcomes as both buyer and seller. She has an outstanding knowledge of the area and the market based on years of experience. Victoria took time to understand our requirements and helped us navigate through the process and all negotiations. What we liked most was her straightforward, open style, her “can do” approach and the insightful way she responded to all our questions. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We would have no hesitation in engaging Victoria again in any future transaction’.
-Vendors (Matai Road) 

‘I have been involved in the purchase and sale of a number of properties with Victoria. With regard to the recent sale, they displayed an accurate grasp of market conditions and used their broad reach in the market to bring qualified buyers to view the house. Once again a successful result was obtained’.
-Vendors (Beaconsfield Street)

‘We have recently moved to New Zealand and this is my first time buying a home in the country. Victoria made the process infinitely easier for us. While representing the seller (they made this very clear to us throughout the process), they took care to explain to us every step of the process, timelines, what to expect, etc. Also, we thought they managed the price discovery process (and the back and forth with the sellers) in an efficient and elegant way. We have just bought this house and we hope to live in it for many years to come. However, if we were to sell it, we would have no doubt in selecting Victoria to manage the process for us’.
-Purchasers (Beaconsfield Street)

‘Victoria and her team did really well presenting our property to the market. Great processes and very good result. George (Auctioneer) also deserves a mention for his professionalism. Thanks’
– Vendor (Stanley Point Road, Devonport)

‘We sold our home though Victoria from the Takapuna office. The process was streamlined from start to finish. The support Victoria gets from her team mean that all the small but very important details get sorted like contracts, photos, listings, communication and the list goes on. The job got done and things seemed to happen very fast and efficiently due to the effective systems that they have in place. The location of the central Takapuna office is super convenient for all parties plus they had a car park available for us. All of these things make a huge difference and get results. We appreciate the team work from the Takapuna Bayleys branch. Thanks!’

‘Victoria Bidwell is an absolute professional. She helped us every step of the way, resulting in the successful purchase of our new home. Thanks Victoria!’
– Purchasers (Maleme Ave, Belmont)

'Firstly, and once again, many thanks for the amazing efforts in selling our beautiful home.
It is not an easy market at present and homes in that bracket are very hard to sell but you were amazing to work with all the way through. Your professionalism, image, marketing, personal presentation and communication was very reassuring during what hasn't been an easy time so, for that, many thanks from myself and our two beautiful boys. We really do appreciate the wonderful service and the personal touches and I hope to sell more property with you in the future.'
