Lochore's Real Estate

I was a tenant for 12 years with Lochores being the property managers. I was always treated with respect and the managers always responded quickly around any maintenance issues. The property owner was also very helpful and respectful.

We recently purchased our first home from Marty at Lahores.

Marty's level of communication and professionalism with us as new buyers throughout the process was second to none.

Over the past 18 months we've dealt with a number of real estate agents that had no interest in us as buyers. Whereas Marty went over and above the level of service to provide us with clarity and ease as we stepped into the property market.

We would definitely recommend and use Marty again in the future.

I am very happy with the service I got from Lochores and Stephen Wells to sell my property in Birkdale. Stephen was very patient in waiting for me to decide whether to sell my property and I am so glad I made the right decision!
Stephen organized everything so efficiently from the home staging, cleaners, and lock smith and that's exactly what I needed while selling my flat while also working a very busy job. I was confident Stephen always had my best interests at heart and even though he was my agent, I could tell that he was also supportive to the buyer and the outcome was a quick, easy, friendly, and pleasant experience. Thank you, Stephen, and Lochores. I will definitely be looking you up for my next purchase, sale or property management needs.

Lochores were great property managers to us during our tenancy period.
Friendly and quick to reply on any of our questions and queries. Understanding and trustworthy Lochores ensure up-keep and care for their rentals. They set the standard for how rentals should be tenanted and left which in our experience with other companies is hard to find.
We would be delighted to use their services again in the future.

Friendly team, helpful and easy to communicate with. As tenants, we were respected throughout the tenancy and had no issues whatsoever. Kevin was great to work with and I have no hesitation recommending Lochores to other tenants/landlords.

I’ve just come to the end of about 6/7 years as a tenant of Lochores, and throughout it has been an easy experience. They are always professional and straightforward to deal with which is what you want in a landlord!

Rachel and Amy have provided an amazing service as the Property Manager of the property we rented for four years. Great communication! I'd highly recommend this team to any property owner that are looking for a Property Manager to their property.

We were very impressed with Chris, Ali & his team on the recent sale of our Verbena Rd property.
Chris reassured us it was the right time to sell & also our live in tenants the same.
Chris worked wonders with our tenants, kept the whole sale process professional & simple.
We were very fortunate to get a great price on the unusual current market.
We & our family have had wonderful friendly service with the Lochore’s team over the past 17years of rental management, purchasing & selling of properties.
The last property we were able to sell from down country which Chris & his team managed from their Birkenhead office. It was a wonderful experience knowing we were being looked after & always kept in the loop.
We have no hesitation telling our friends & family how Lochore’s Bespoke Realestate get the job done & work as a team.
Once again Chris, Ali and Team thank you for your wonderful support over the past couple of months Gary & Robyn Lepper

Recently worked with Marty, he was fantastic from start to finish.made the process of buying my first home enjoyable. 10/10 thanks mate.

Amy & Rachel have provided exceptional service as Property Manager's while I rented a property through Lochores. Any issues that required immediate attention were dealt with promptly. They are very friendly & professional. Thank you for making my experience as a tenant a good one! I highly recommend these lovely ladies to manage your property. Thanks again Amy & Rachel!

We had an exceptional experience with Lochores. From start to finish the customer service was outstanding.

We were first home buyers and felt that we were guided through the process in a fair and transparent manner.

Our agent Chris was responsive, always keeping us informed and updated with the latest developments. We could not recommend him or the Lochores team more highly.

They're a family unit and that really shines through in the service you receive.

I recently worked with Chris on purchasing a property on the North Shore. He was incredibly helpful, personable, and kind. He was always available and answered all the questions I had, as well as being a wealth of knowledge about the area and the processes involved. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property, and hope to work with him again in the future.

From the onset our relationship with Chris was fantastic. He referred reliable tradespeople to finish work to the property and perform tasks (such as deck repairs, trimming the neighbour's trees) in order to present the property in such a way to attract the best possible outcome. When the sales process began Ali and Chris supported us through the process every step of the way. It is an understatement to say that their professionalism, personal warmth and integrity are second to none.
Chris's level of skill shone through by tapping into a sub-section of the market we would never have considered. His strategy was not only creative but proved to be fruitful. He presented three written offers within the first week, all of which were more than what we anticipated, with the successful offer well over any realistic expectations.
Chris continued to offer exceptional service even after the sale was completed. Due to moving to a new area, with little knowledge of the local market, Chris researched, reviewed LIM reports and even spoke to the real estate agent to help us negotiate a reasonable price for the property we eventually purchased.
We can't thank Chris and Ali enough, and we highly encourage anyone wishing to sell their property to contact Chris.

I have rented 3 homes from Lochores over the past 6 years and overall it has been a very amenable relationship The team at Lochores are professional as well as friendly a special mention for Kevin Amy and Rachel

I have recently sold (with Marty's help) my home that I owned for 44 years. As this was my first experience of selling a property I was very lucky to have Lochores and Marty taking care of the process for me. Very approachable, nothing was too much trouble, a thoroughly pleasant and professional young man. He kept me in the loop at all times and I would definitely recommend Marty and Lochores to anyone thinking of selling

We have used Marty on our two last house sales. Would highly recommend him to anyone selling their property. Communication and personal touch is outstanding, and is a hell of a nice guy!

Bought a home recently through Marty Van Praseuth. Top communication, including in difficult circumstances during COVID which delayed the settlement. Marty was on top of everything and kept me advised throughout the process. Legend!

Rented for almost 8 years through Lochores, when it came to sorting out checking the property and refunding the bond Steven was on to it! Making it efficent and not a problem

We had a rental property based in glenfield for over a year and our property manager was Rachel Pole. When ever we needed something done to the house she was quick to respond and get someone out to fix it ASAP. Very professional to deal with and would recommend to anyone. Thankyou.

Judy Pearsey has been my landlord for almost three years, she has been a pleasure to deal with, very professional and always willing to help.
If there are any issues at home she always make sure things get sorted ASAP. I really recommend Judy to anyone looking for a great landlord or property manager. Best service ever
