"I would never list a property without the help of Open2View. It is one of NZ's largest web sites. If you are a vendor that wants the best for your property, these are the people you need to show it off. Remember there is an old saying that you cant sell a secret, it's true you cant. Thats why I would not hesitate to use them."

"Dear Martin and Alison, I have been meaning to write to you to inform you of the great SUCCESS I had with a property that Caroline shot for me for Open2view. I sold this property by Set Sale method and recieved 2 offers. The property was purchased by an American buyer soley from the Open2view advert and was a wopping 40K more than the other offer! The buyer did not physically see the property till settlement date. A very happy vendor and salesperson as a result of your great website and Carolines fantastic eye for photography. I have just had the opportunity to thank Caroline personally when she shot a property for me yesterday and wanted to let you both know what great results are achieved by your staff."

"During the last year I used Bev Snyders of Open2view to photograph thirteen of my listings. In every case, they were either sold on Tender or Auction date or in two cases very soon after. One apartment that Bev kindly came and photographed at Twilight had offers over the internet from Switzerland and Hong Kong within the week. I estimate that 75% of my enquiries come from the internet and a very large portion of those are from the very user friendly Open2View site. It's not an option for me, if a vendor wants a great profile for their property, I would not hesitate to use the great team on the North Shore."

"I have been using Open2view since beginning in Real Estate 3.5 years ago. I have not yet listed a property without it being on Open2view. Many of the properties I have sold have been to purchasers on Open2view. I am a huge believer of your product - one of the most comprehensive Real Estate websites for Sellers, Buyers and Agents. I recently sold a property we used Virtual Tour and the response was amazing. Looked fantastic and will definitely be recommending this media to all my sellers."

"I had just listed a beautiful townhouse in Mission Bay and was meeting with Caroline from Open2view to advise on the photos I required, however on the morning I was in bed with the flu. Caroline obviously needed none of my input because the photos are stunning. My sincere thanks to Caroline & the Open2view team."

"We sold our first property back in 2003 and after the agent put the listing on Open2view website the response was overwhelming and we've sold the house within 3 weeks! We've just recently bought another house and we found it on this website. This website is so easy to use and find your way around. "

"Just wanted to say that our first ever virtual tour for a property in Pt Chevalier has seen an awesome response and we will certainly be using these in the future."

"Just a note to let you know that I am receiving excellent results from the Open2view website. I am now receiving more and more enquiry on a daily basis. Every day I receive numerous e-mails and phone calls from buyers asking about open2view.com ID numbers. In fact I am currently getting more response weekly from Open2View than I do from any other source, at a fraction of the cost. Buyer's feedback has also been very favorable. They find the Open2view site very 'user friendly' and simple to navigate. In conclusion I personally completed two sales last month directly through buyer's viewing the properties on the Open2view website , A property for $169,000 and for over $500,000." I will certainly continue to recommend the Open2view service to all my Vendors. "

"Absolutely great website. The best ever seen. We are looking to buy a house in New Zealand as well as in the States and your website is much, much, better than the States. Congratulations!"

"Best property site on the net. If this marketing can't find that buyer nothing will."

"I must say this site is very impressive, which is very refreshing in a sea of badly thought out sites and technologies. Good Work!"

"From a potential buyers perspective, this site is fantastic and the quality of properties and the way they are depicted (quality) is superb. Thanks."

"I really need to say a huge THANK YOU!!! What a wonderful tool you have provided for us to market homes and really to market ourselves, as agents. I am most impressed. People do shop on the internet, again and again I have had success with Open2view."

"Thanks for a Great website! I value the opportunity to market property more effectively. This week I sold another property to a very delighted family - Open2view was the point of enquiry."

"Just had to let you know that I'm having such exciting results for my vendors with enquiry coming directly from the Open2View site. I recently had enquiry from the UK about a townhouse - the buyer was just spending a few days in NZ to buy a house for his children to use whilst attending University. Instead of using phones, newspapers etc he had logged into Open2View and completed his shortlist from the UK before even getting to NZ. So viewed in UK one week, viewed in NZ next week, bought and moved in the next week. What a streamlined operation! Also getting HUGE enquiry from NZ's themselves - more and more purchasers are doing their browsing online before hitting the papers, open homes etc. I have completed 3 sales in the last 2 weeks directly from an Open2View enquiry with excellent results for delighted vendors. I am recommending this as a "MUST HAVE" form of advertising to all my vendors. Thanks for providing such a superb advertising vehicle and a special thank you to Christing Ryan who takes all the great photos for me."

"Open2View is a readily accessible site. I have many other listings and wish my vendors would be as convinced as I am about the value of this worldwide address. In time they will accept internet and realise the strike rate on this site to be a top choice for buyers."

"Open2view now accounts for approximately 30% of my enquiries from buyers. The site recently helped me sell a Remuera property sight-unseen to a Kiwi based in Bahrain and I'm currently working on two serious enquiries from Egypt and Hong Kong. I'm finding that local buyers also are finding my properties on Open2view before they see them in property publications. I honestly believe that not listing with Open2view is detrimental to the chances of selling a home. Keep up the good work, an amazing site, and my photographer Darren Hunter is just awesome!"

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to list the property ... in New Plymouth with Open2view.com. The property had been on the market for several months before being listed on Open2view with a price, it was later changed to a Tender. The purchaser saw the property on Open2view and as she lived in Napier had her son, who lives in New Plymouth, view the property on her behalf. She then contacted me for Tender documents, which her solicitor completed and sent to our office. Hers was the successful Tender. The vendors were both thrilled and amazed that someone would purchase a property without having actually viewed it. They have now happily flown off to Australia. I am very pleased with the response I have had from the Open2view site and recommend it to all my vendors."

"Just a quick note of thanks for your diligence and attention to detail in taking the photos and organising my residential listings on to the Open2view.com web site recently. I was, as you are aware, initially skeptical as to the success of such a concept. I must say though. I am very pleased with the response to date, plus your own professional manner when taking the photos of the listings to place on the site. Recently I had a buyer ring me to say that he was interested in a property I was advertising in our company flyer. He went on to say that after he found the ad he went to the Open2view.com site from the ID number I had included in the ad and liking what he saw, rang me to make the appointment to view. He has since successfully made the offer to purchase the home and the "sold" sign is now in place. Thank you again for your diligence, I look forward to selling other properties with the assistance of your Open2view.com site."

"Within two hours of listing a property, Open2view had it on the web. Half an hour later I received a call from Auckland. That same week these people were down to Rotorua have a look. They were the only people to view the property and are now the proud owners."

"In September 2000 I listed a property that had been on the market for 2 years and had been on the internet with another company. A purchaser of mine had looked at the property numerous times on the internet and wasn't really impressed with it. I listed the property as a sole agency and put it on Open2view straight away. The purchasers saw the Open2view address and went to the site and couldn't believe how good the house was because there were some very good interior photos of the house and some stunning photos of the view. They called me that night and wanted to inspect it the next morning, they bought the property unconditionally two days later. I feel that they had already made up their mind about buying the property before they inspected it due to the quality of the Open2view site. I consider Open2view.com an essential tool in the selling of Real Estate in todays market."

"My purchaser was a driving around the streets in desperation looking for the right home for his daughter. He came accross a for sale sign featuring the Open2View ID Number. He was able to view the property on the Open2View website. Afer inspecting the property an offer was made and 2 days later the contract went unconditional. Thanks Open2View"

"Having had email sent to me from London and Brisbane, and a phone call from Singapore due to Open2View. I know include this in my listing kit and stress to the potential vendor about the competitive price and the extensive range of advertising this gives them"

"I am really impressed with this site. I am a real estate salesperson and I have just put two of my listings on the site. They look fantastic - they're easy to read and the layout is great. The only problem I had was getting my images loaded, but Chris was very helpful in that regard, and his prompt attention had me up and running in a short amount of time. Thank you for the site - it's great!"
