Absolute integrity - highly recommended
We engaged Shelley to sell our recently renovated house in Taradale.  Shelley was extremely professional, provided open and honest communication and displayed absolute integrity - nothing was a problem.  Shelley had great local knowledge and understood the market, going above and beyond to get us multiple offers after 6 days on the market, and exceeded our expectations on the sale price. She kept in contact throughout the process, calling us after the open home and providing helpful feedback.  We would highly recommend Shelley both to potential sellers and as someone to give you a hand when you're house hunting.

Shelley was amazing. She was so patient and kept an eye out for the right house that fitted our needs. She went in to bat for us in the multi offer & got us the house. I'd choose her again if ever the need.

A safe pair of hands
I have known Shelley Gilmartin for many years, and she is kind, warm and professional. She is a person of high integrity, always trustworthy, with a bright and relaxed manner. Shelley shows a great deal of empathy and compassion to those around her, is calm and steady in moments of stress, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. Shelley is a safe pair of hands, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a high performing, consistent and compassionate guide to selling and buying property in Hawke’s Bay.

I hold her in high regard, and trust her professionalism and integrity
I have worked with Shelley Gilmartin on several design projects and she is highly professional, with a keen eye for detail and strong project oversight skills. She communicates clearly, expresses her ideas well, and is always open to others' opinions. Her flexible and solution-focused approach makes her a pleasure to work with. Shelley has a consistently positive attitude, even under pressure. She stays organized, sets clear expectations, and keeps projects on track. She is always happy to brainstorm solutions and is committed to seeing things through from start to finish. Over time, our working relationship has grown beyond that of just colleagues: I hold her in high regard and trust her professionalism and integrity. It has been a pleasure working with Shelley and I highly recommend her for any role or project. She would be a great asset to any team.
