Testimonials
“They work together extremely well and they compliment each other”
Bret and Donna were AWESOME to experience our first house sale with. They were understanding of our own circumstances and kept us up to date with all information we needed. They showed professionalism at all times and were a joy to work with. They have a great sense of humour and kept things light, when needed as it can be a stressful time. They were willing to go the extra mile always with a smile -
We appreciated their professionalism.
Bret and Donna helped my wife and I sell our home in Mount Albert in late 2018, and the dedication they showed throughout the campaign was key to us successfully completing the sale.
We were very happy with the level of interest they managed to generate for the open homes as the market was just starting to tighten at the time. The feedback they gave us on both our house and the wider market was comprehensive, and we felt fully informed of progress at every stage. They came prepared with a complete marketing campaign and backup plan in case we failed to sell at auction, and eventually this is what allowed us to complete the sale in time to make an offer on our new home.
Bret and Donna were a pleasure to deal with. We appreciated their professionalism, and how they did everything they could to make selling our family home as smooth and stress free as possible.

7 weeks from seeing, buying, selling and moving.
8 weeks ago, I heard of an apartment that felt would be perfect for me. Bret and Donna made arrangements to show it to me and I fell in love with it. They helped me to place an offer conditional on the sale of my current home and spoke to me explaining all the options available to me to sell it as it wasn’t listed for sale.
I have the utmost respect in the way they handled the next 7 weeks and the entire range of procedures needed to follow for me to make an offer on the new property I wanted, list my existing home, understand the auction process, secure an acceptable sale price and help arrange my move.
Now 1 week after the move I am looking back at the ease and speed of the entire process, which would not have been possible without the totally professional assistance from Donna, Bret and the management of UP Real Estate. I highly recommend them and their agency to anyone considering selling their home and have 100% confidence they-
“Sealed the deal in 2 weeks - Sold!”
I hadn't moved or bought a home in over 10 years, so when I decided my Parnell home was just too small for the growing family I needed a team with great expertise! Donna & Bret showed just that and went above and beyond my expectations for the house sale - so professional, precise, friendly and made the entire process from start to finish - stress free and effortless, as they managed everything from start to finish. Bret's attention to detail, strong work ethic and Donna's organisational skills and friendly manner sealed the deal in 2 weeks - Sold! Well done to a great team, couldn't have done it without you - thanks a lot!
