"Ying Li knows the market, gives good honest advice and is great to work with. Her sense of humour and great work ethic make the process easy."
Lisa Reynolds
"I met Ying Li when I viewed one of her open homes about 20 months ago. Her willingness to help me is what attracted me to her and I knew then, when I decided to sell my property, she was the agent I wanted to deal with. With such a large investment in a stranger’s hand, I wanted to be able to trust my agent impeccably, and Ying Li reached this through and through.
The whole process was stress free and effortless thanks to Ying Li being such an astute business woman. Ying Li is more than highly recommended by myself, know that when choosing Ying Li as your agent, you will be well and truly looked after, her words, actions and deeds are as trustworthy and honest as the days are long.
The whole experience was fun, exciting and I’m sure this is because of Ying Li, her ability and knowledge. I love Ying. She is so warm, caring, and friendly and she listens to your wants and needs. An important skill needed in this profession. What a star of an agent. I only met her husband/partner a few times, but he also helped in the process and is an important fraction of a great team.
Many thanks, I have dealt with Barfoot and Thompson a few times now and have always been glad I've chosen such a large, trusted company."

"This is my first home and therefore first time selling. From the outset Ying has been fantastic. Of all the agents I had appraise my property Ying was the only one who gave me any confidence that her appraisal was based on local market knowledge as well as the overall change in the Auckland market. She has been honest from the outset and kept me informed at every step. With all of the prospective buyers, I felt that Ying went out of her way to establish a rapport with them and I am sure that made a difference to their interest in the property. The end result was a price over and above what I could have hoped for and I am very grateful for all of Ying's hard work and for being such a lovely person!"

"We saw that Ying was active in the Glen Eden market not only listing but selling properties. She is a genuinely nice person. She established a strong relationship with us right from our first meeting. She gained our trust from that very first meeting. We trusted her entirely and went with her suggestions about marketing and all other aspects. She listened to us carefully and gave us very practical suggestions. She went the extra mile during the marketing campaign and always had a lovely smile on her face.
Most importantly she did not pressurize us in anyway for our custom or to do anything we were not comfortable with. We will unreservedly recommend her to our contacts."

"Ying Li Howe is a very professional saleswoman and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell a house. She was also very sensitive to my mother's needs (a woman in her 80's) and a very warm and approachable person. Her negotiating skills were amazing. My mother was extremely happy during such a stressful situation."
Jenny Arnerich
"Ying marketed and sold my brother's property in Glen Eden. He asked her for an appraisal which was well done and Ying gave her honest opinion on how she saw it selling on the current market with suggestions of how to improve the property for sale. When Roger decided to sell, she was very enthusiastic, very approachable, friendly honest and always did what she said she was going to do. A rare quality in today’s world! She was asked to keep me in the loop with all developments and this she did also. We were delighted with the price she marketed it for and equally delighted with the result. Ying is willing to go the 'extra mile' for her clients and we will definitely recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell. Good work Ying and God bless your future."

"Ying is a great agent - she is a good listener and understands sellers’ requirements. She’s highly professional, fair and extremely helpful. I’ve got no hesitation to recommend her to a friend/family and/or sell another property with her."
A.Saffari
"She was always very professional, enthusiastic, helpful and kept me calm under moments of stress! I was surprised that I sold at this time of year (Christmas) and so quickly. I was expecting a longer wait. She seemed to be able to judge the purchasers intentions well when we were under negotiation and it all worked out as she said! Although it was by chance that Ying Li handled this sale for me, I was very happy that she did and I had no complaints!"
Trish Burgess
"She is a very professional real estate agent I have ever met. I am very satisfied her services. She gives me good and professional advices. I can't believe that she helps me to sell my property so quickly. I think that I will ask her to help me to buy/sell houses in the future."

Ying tops them all. I would not hesitate to acquire her services in the future."
