Very Professional! Chris is an absolute professional, in his communication and his actions. He followed through on what he said he would do. Chris made the process of buying a property much easier. Highly recommended.
Good Knowledge of the property. Thanks Chris for helping us with the purchase of our new property. We look forward to doing business with you again.
Great Customer Service! We would like to thank Chris/Arlene and the Harcourts Team for their assistance with achieving a sale on our property in Whakatane. This was achieved in a difficult market. Their hard work, professionalism and persistence are appreciated.
Excellent Experience! Chris was a fantastic real estate agent and his co worker Arlene was also great support, they make a good team. Both are honest, transparent and work with both buyer and vendor to make the purchase of a house seem less daunting and stressful. Thank you Chris and his team.
Chris Robson - An Agent to deal with and knows how to deliver on promises! Chris was a fantastic agent to deal with. No question was a problem. He gave us all the information we needed without it being an issue. We looked at 5 homes over a three week period and went back one three times and were very happy with our final purchase. We take possession in a week and a half. We really felt like Chris gave us as buyers all he could to make this purchase as easy as possible. 12/10 Chris, I would recommend you and Harcourts anytime. Cheers Vicki & Kevin
Good customer service was able to focus on my needs and home. Chris Robson was incredibly communicative, promptly answered calls and emails keeping me informed on homes that were available in my price range and the locations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris in how he provided honesty, genuine care and support.

Top Notch Service! Chris was excellent to deal with. He explained everything we needed to know while selling our house and purchasing our new one. Chris worked extremely hard to make everything happen at the same time for everyone.

This level of communication made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Moreover, Chris's professionalism was evident throughout our interactions. He was punctual, respectful, and genuinely committed to ensuring I had a positive experience. His dedication and expertise truly set him apart. I highly recommend Chris Robson to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, communicative, and professional real estate agent.
Absolutely Fantastic! Chris Robson is a credit to the Harcourts Group. He is not only a gentleman but has a great personable approach not only to the Vendor but also the prospective buyers.

Outstanding communication and professionalism! Chris is so easy to deal with. Alway communicating when needed and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him as a real estate agent
In terms of selling the properties we could not speak more highly about the service that Chris and his wife provided to us in selling our properties. From start to finish the process was handled seamlessly and very professionally. The diligence in chasing up any prospective clients was to be commended. The diligence in carrying out a number of open homes in a very time efficient manner was certainly most appreciated. It is noted that Chris did little things like when the property came to the final sign off date and final inspection and a number of light bulbs were missing in one of the properties. He went out and he purchased some more. He put them in so that the settlement could go ahead. I think this reflects the way that he consistently went forward in trying to do the best for us and making the process for us vastly smoother. Once again we re-iterate our appreciation and thanks.
We looked at appointing Chris Robson after being referred to him by a friend who had used his service previously. I found Chris and his team professional throughout our dealings from the initial enquiry to the settlement of the sale. He kept us informed throughout the process and stuck to his conviction in trying to get us a price within his appraisal range, despite lower estimates from other agents. Our property was a bit unique and there were a few challenges to get the sale settled. During this process he continued to run open homes and take enquiries and possible offers from other buyers with regular updates to us. I would recommend him to others looking at selling their home.
Many thanks for all your hard work to get his property sold. We cannot recommend you highly enough both in your professionalism and full communication with us all the way through this journey.
What we were looking for in an estate agent was honesty, reliability and integrity. We were initially very pleased with dealing with Chris but as time went on, we then began to realise that the professionalism showed by Chris was of an extremely high standard. If we had questions that needed answering they were always answered in a very honest professional way. We have no hesitation in Recommending Chris Robson as the Real Estate agent one should consider Strongly when either buying or selling real estate in Whakatane.
