Like they were selling their own house
From the first time we met Emma and Gina we knew we were in good hands. Although we thought the property potentially needed some work done to it before marketing, they were so positive that just a tidy up was sufficient. Living quite remote from the property and therefore unable to get there as often as we thought was necessary, we were proved correct in leaving them in charge of the process of being there when things had to be done, and of course getting the property sold. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

Excellent communication and support!
We had a positive experience working with Emma and Gina! They were always easy to communicate with, responded promptly to our questions, and were available to support us throughout the buying process. They helped make what can be a stressful experience feel straightforward and kept us informed along the way. We appreciated having their guidance and reassurance when we needed it. Thank you for your professionalism and support!

There with us every step of the way!
Emma worked tirelessly to sell our house. The market wasn't that good and I found her endless positivity, plus great innovative ideas to get to the end goal, so reassuring. Emma is an excellent communicator and kept us in the loop all the way through. She gave her heart and soul to sell our house and I really appreciated having her truly on board with us. It felt like she was there with us every step of the way.

Nothing is too hard for Emma
Emma has guided us through the selling process, an attempted purchase, and now a successful purchase. Nothing has ever been in the ‘too hard’ basket for Emma, and she has always found ways to navigate any complexities that arose. Emma has made us feel that our best interest is her priority, and we really appreciated how she goes the extra mile to ensure we had a positive experience and outcome. We 100% will go through Emma for any house sales and purchases in the future. Emma is super friendly, very professional, communicates well and promptly, and has great market knowledge.

Absolute Weapons!
Emma & Gina were fantastic to deal with. They were realistic with their appraisal and the way they went about marketing the house was top tier. Their communication throughout the process was excellent, always there to answer any questions and give updates on the sale process. After a challenging few weeks in a competitive market, the call was made to pivot in which they were open and honest about how to proceed, once we agreed on a new direction they had the home sold within a week at a satisfactory price! Once sold, they were able to assist in the purchase of my next home which was greatly appreciated. Massive thanks to the Taylor & Askew team who I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to sell their home!

Emma was absolutely amazing to purchase a home through.
Emma was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. She knew exactly what I would want and that the home would be perfect for my situation. There was no bullshit, everything straight to the point and honest. Couldn’t wish for a better agent. Thanks so much Emma! You are the bees knees 🥰

Always thought of everything and had an action plan
Emma and Gina were great to work with and always thought of everything so we never missed out on any opportunities. They knew the market and how to advertise our property. Despite a very slow and competitive market, Emma and Gina never stopped working with us to secure a favourable sale price, continuing to work with us right through the conditional period.

Totally Awesome
Right from the start, the Taylor & Askew Team left me feeling totally supported, despite my nervousness about the whole process. I was kept fully informed throughout, including marketing reports. The communication and professionalism was top notch. I would highly recommend using this team and will be working with them again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you made the process so much better than any other agent I have worked with. It wasn’t just the big things. it was the little things like bringing me coffee and getting my washing off the line, and keeping me in the loop with everything that was going on, even in the background! The huge bonus of getting a price beyond what I ever expected has made my life so much better. The deal is done and dusted, stress over and I’m off on holiday!! Thanking you just doesn’t feel enough 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Their professionalism with marketing knowledge and dedicated service made the entire process seamless, while making me feel relaxed and certain that the job would get done - and they delivered!! Their communication skills were outstanding. Always keeping me up-to-date with potential buyers and guiding me through the options where negotiations were needed. I highly recommend these two lovely ladies to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling their property. With their caring, genuine and a cheerful attitude - you wont be disappointed. Thank you once again. Keep up the good work!!

Top tier efficiency
We have been lucky enough to have Emma sell our house very recently. She works incredibly effectively and efficiently, it almost feels like a magic trick! Everything keeps falling into its right place and at the right time without us even noticing. Boom, the house was sold at a very satisfying price just like that. Thank you very much, Emma and the team, for your amazing work. We are extremely grateful.

Emma Taylor and Gina Askew are the best agents we have ever worked with
Both Emma and Gina showed expert market knowledge and negotiation skill getting us very near the price we wanted in a difficult market. They were extremely responsive, professional, culturally sensitive, and kind - treating us like we were members of their own whanau, genuinely invested in our selling aspirations. My husband can be challenging to understand at times, but they adjusted to his style empathetically and compassionately. They are the only agents he trusts and will work with.
Suzy and Donald
Emma was on to it
She understood our needs and provided information to us in a timely manner. She was accomodating in finding us a time to view out of the open home schedule. She communicated effectively by phone, text and email. Above all, she was friendly and personable.
Delwyn and Margaret
Extremely hard worker who went above and beyond to achieve the result
Emma provided great communication throughout the entire process and acted as a great sounding board through what ended up being a relatively challenging sale. Emma maintained her friendly nature, combined with her industry leading experience and knowledge, to enable us a stress free process whilst achieving a great result. The weekly reports are super helpful for market insights, and provides great feedback for how open homes went, as well as the reach that the marketing campaign is achieving. The marketing video and photos, combined with the social media exposure, is another thing that sets Taylor & Askew apart - they provide modern exposure on platforms that other real estate companies don't appear to branch in to to the same extent. Overall a great experience and highly recommended agent, who we would use again in the future.

Emma understood the value of our home and delivered an outstanding result
Emma (alongside Gina) completely surpassed our expectations and made selling our home feel genuinely stress-free. After speaking with several agencies, the appraisals were broadly similar, but Emma stood out for how clearly she recognised the value in our home and understood the area. Gina was a great support throughout, and together they made a strong team. The marketing was outstanding, with a strategy that was clearly tailored to our specific home and location. When it came to crunch time, there’s no one else we would have wanted in our corner. Emma knew exactly what she was doing and delivered when it mattered most. Thanks to their work, we’re now settled into our new home. If we ever sell again, we’d 100% go back to Emma and Gina.
Ashlee & Brian
Incredible job selling a unique property. Informed, professional, personal and kind. Highly recommend the lovely Emma and her team.
Julie
Emma was very approachable, engaging, and down to earth. She made us feel supported throughout the entire sale process. Her market knowledge and expertise allowed us to make informed decisions about listing, marketing, negotiations, and the final settlement. We were informed of the weekly progress through the online marketing traffic and open-home activities. They were always willing to pick up the phone and keep us up to date. We would highly recommend Emma and the team from Powers Real Estate.
Kyle and Julie-Anne
I was the buyer of a property Emma was marketing. She was great to work with, upfront, honest and negotiated an excellent outcome for both parties. Would use her to sell a property in a heartbeat.
Allie
Emma gave us a service far beyond my expectations. We were overseas during the whole process of selling our house, and she sorted out all sorts of extra issues that popped up, making the experience for us-and hopefully the new owners-a lot easier than it could have been. Her communication was excellent, working around a UK time zone made it a challenge but she moved it along smoothly. Many thanks.
Michael and Lettie
Emma was absolutely amazing. She worked really hard to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. We are very grateful to her and her team.
Aaron and Lisa
Couldn't recommend Emma more, loved dealing with her and felt I had gained a friend as well as a professional agent.
Julie
Emma and her team were great to work with. Great communication, reliable and honest! Emma is very hard working and made the selling process super easy and we knew exactly what was happening along each step along the way. Highly recommend Emma and we would certainly use her again in the future.
Kirk and Romana
Professional and friendly from the start, Emma provided knowledgeable and expert guidance all through the process. I wasn't treated as a conveyor belt client where everything was to suit the agent to achieve a quick sale. Emma 'got' the house and reflected that positively in the marketing. She also recognised its not an every day thing for people to do and offered her support all along the way, working at a pace to suit me. It was great to work with Emma and would 100% recommend to others.
Angela
We had a great buying experience with Emma and her team. Nothing was too much trouble. We were from another district in Taranaki and she accommodated and answered our requests with ease and made the whole process stress free.
Robbie and Tania
Emma is well versed in the property market and is a reliable and helpful agent to work with. Throughout our journey together I have always found her to be professional and approachable in her manner. She goes that extra mile for her clients! I would absolutely use her services again in the future.
Vlad and Tal
From the start we knew we were in safe hands with Emma. She was fantastic to work with, her attitude, keeness and sincerity are unmatched. We had a great result, selling quickly with multiple offers. We highly recommend choosing Emma to help sell your home. It was the best decision we could have made.
Matt and Aleisha
Great, professional and hardworking. Always good communication.
Emma
Emma was incredibly realistic around what we could expect to sell our house. Her honesty and professionalism made her a dream to deal with. I honestly believe she got the best price for our house, and she really cares about both the buyer and sellers best interests.
Frankie
We were very happy with Emma's help in selling our mothers house. We live over two hours away, so Emma did all the work really. Even went in and tidied and staged the house for the sale. Highly recommend Emma and her crew.
Shona
We were very happy with the way Emma handled our sale. Great communication and service leading to a very satisfactory sale. Would happily use Emma and her company again.
Lindsay and Anne
Emma and the whole team display down to earth communication with common sense, while working hard to get the job done. So responsive and easy to work with. I appreciate Emma’s friendly, but no-nonsense, approach. I felt I could completely trust her and the team entirely - which took a huge strain and pressure away from the process for me - but I knew I had autonomy and control. This isn’t the first time Emma has sold a house for me, and I honestly wouldn’t want to do it without her.
Isabel
Emma Taylor worked swiftly to list our home and use her local knowledge to its maximum advantage to sell our beachside home. Despite a slower market, Emma knew to target out of town prospects for our coveted neighbourhood. In under 6 weeks we achieved the sale price we wanted and passed our family bach onto the next lucky owners. Emma was responsive, professional and ensured we were kept up to date throughout the sale process.
Sian and Christian
Emma and her team were reliable, engaging and knowledgeable in all areas of the process. I found them to be very solution orientated and often had the right advice on hand rather than needing to come back to me.
Jason
Emma has made our journey of purchasing in a new community a breeze. She has been so welcoming, has amazing local knowledge and has helped us turn our dreams into reality.
Brooklyn
Excellent knowledge of the area, positive approach, and great result. A professional team.
Bart
The process from start to finish had its unique challenges throughout. However through it all, Emma was helpful and kept us informed as much as possible. We are thankful to her and the team at Powers for helping us purchase our first home.
Cameron and Luseni
While we had a fantastic property to sell, the marketing campaign created and delivered by Emma & her team captured the essence of our property resulting in people falling in love with the home. The brilliant video clip pulled at the emotions of the potential purchasers, enabling them to imagine themselves living there. The added bonus of having two agents representing the property meant someone was always available for the 3 open homes, many personal viewings and numerous phone calls. The end result was 11 offers far exceeding our expectations. We would recommend anyone about to sell, interview them as they really know their game and have a X-factor for marketing
