"Working with Gayle Aspden from Harcourt was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Gayle's professionalism, knowledge and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress free. She was alway available to answer questions, kept us informed every step of the way and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, hardworking, knowledgeable and truly puts her clients first, I highly recommend Gayle Aspden. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive and successful one. I would happily recommend you to anyone buying or selling a house."

Thank you. Mary and Paul 😊"

"We first met Gayle two years ago when we started looking at moving and selling our home. During those two years, Gayle stayed connected with us from time to time, checking in appropriately and thoughtfully. Once we found a house, we really wanted, there was no question we would choose anyone else. Gayle made sure from the beginning that we fully understood the market, Harcourts' processes and the rationale and data behind these. She quickly recognised and acknowledged the pressure and timelines, the excitement and anxieties we were working with. Importantly, with humour, patience and understanding, how Rob and I process things differently! Having a conditional offer on the new house ultimately determined our decision to choose to go with an Auction. Gayle explained the risks and benefits of the types of advertising we could choose. Clear costings were presented, again with rationale. Gayle involved us in decision making at every step of the process. She built strong relationships with potential buyers, ensuring they had their questions answered quickly Gayle's commitment, professionalism and energy were endless. Her experience, local knowledge, enthusiasm, integrity and transparency were exceptional. Within nine days of being on the market Gayle contacted us and came round to put an offer on the table. Her presentation of the offer, update on the current market and advocacy with the purchaser ensured we got a great outcome. Post the acceptance of the offer, Gayle's communication continued to have clarity, be informative and she was still very excited for us. At no stage did we wonder 'what next, what does that mean', or 'how does that happen.' Gayle had already explained all of these at the time that we needed to think about it. We would recommend Gayle to absolutely anyone considering selling their home, we can't thank you enough! "

"Great agent! Gayle's awesome communication and going above and beyond to broker a deal which worked for everyone. I would highly recommend Gayle."

"Thank you, Gayle, you are tops. You give and give and give again. Even on your days off. We can’t speak more highly of your patience with us, your planning strategies were awesome. For a couple of octogenarians thinking of selling our forever home and moving to a Retirement Village, was stressful to say the least. Gayle came, the panicking was gone, peace soon came, and everything was set out on paper for the weeks before the Auction. Gayle knows her area well and is very knowledgeable in Real Estate. She inspired our trust in her with every suggestion she made in getting our home ready for sale. And it worked. Sold under the hammer. We highly recommend Gayle and her Team to anyone putting their home on the market. Try them first, you will not be disappointed. "

"Gayle was extremely helpful and patient throughout our purchase process. She even assisted with meeting contractors and nothing was too much trouble. She answered all our questions and went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Gayle."

"We highly recommend Gayle as a RE agent. In our recent dealings with her we found her to be very professional, communicative and accomodating. She kept us in the loop throughout the whole process with very clear next steps and always delivered on the time promised. Gayle was an integral part in negotiating on our behalf to enable us to buy our dream family home - for this we are truly grateful. Thank you Gayle!"

"Gayle Aspden you are a star! You recently sold a property for our family with amazing results, despite their being a downturn in the market. Selling a house is always a difficult and stressful process but Gayle supported us through it wonderfully well. She outlined all of the options really clearly and did a great job in building buyer enthusiasm for the property – in fact there were multiple bidders when it came to auction day. Throughout the sale process there were various decisions that we had to make and Gayle’s recommendations were always spot on – even down to the level of recommending tradespeople who would get the house looking its best. We would highly recommend Gayle to anyone wishing to sell their home on the North Shore.” The advice about what to do to present the property well was bang on. The garden makeover was worth the money. You were prompt with answering any of our questions and basically held up your end of the deal. And the sale price exceeded our expectations. I recommend Gayle, she has worked hard for us and she is a person of integrity for sure. "

"Gayle, helped us both to buy and subsequently sell our first home. We first met Gayle when we were searching for our first home. She was very pleasant to work with. What we loved was that she never tried to "sell" the property like a salesperson but rather addressed all our concerns and helped us make an informed decision, which is why we knew she was the best person to help us when we decided to sell. What sets Gayle apart from other agents is that she brings a fresh, practical approach as an agent , she is extremely honest and reliable which makes her an asset to both buyers and sellers alike. We were more than comfortable to hand over the property to Gayle and rely on her to run the sale without us being in the country. She took most of the stress from us. The whole process was seamless, from the planning to the execution. We knew what to expect and she kept us updated throughout and has great industry contacts which we were able to leverage. She went out of her way to make sure our property was always presented in the best light with beautiful personal touches. We especially liked the real time market stats, data and Gayle's advice backed by solid experience which again helped us in decision making. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gayle. "

"We recently bought a property with Galye and had a pleasant experience. We have personally dealt with quite a few real estate agents over the years, and we can tell Gayle has something shinning from her heart which we don’t get to see a lot from such profession these days. Gayle is a genuine person with a true heart before she is real-estate agent, but don’t get us wrong her skills in her job are second to none. From our perspective, she is the kind of agent that communicates well and provides enough information, and at the same time leave enough room for people to make decisions on their own. We felt total respect and made the final decision on our own without influence as she never pushed us for a deal although she knew we had strong interest in the property. We totally recommend Gayle to anyone. "

"I live overseas and was planning initially to sell my property at the start of 2020, I was impressed by Gayle's energy and professionalism back then that even though I decided to delay the sale due to the pandemic, I kept her details for the future. Forward 18 months later I contacted her again which was definitely an excellent decision. She took excellent care of the house and all the details of the sale. She went above and beyond to make sure I get the best deal. Absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable agent. Very highly recommended "

"If you’re looking at selling your house, Gayle is your agent to get it done. She’s friendly, passionate and knows her stuff. We needed a quick sale but Gayle was up to the challenge and we were sold within 2 weeks of our initial chat. Gayle worked tirelessly to get us our sale and kept us up to date with details about our keen buyers. We are absolutely thrilled with our price and our celebratory champagne. Couldn’t recommend Gayle highly enough."
