Kevin Haydock

Hi there, and welcome. There is nothing difficult about selling somebody a house they want ― I have done it for the last 30 years as a property developer / builder and, more recently, as a marketing consultant at Harcourts Tauranga Central. The difficult bit is finding them. Building houses that you have to sell to make a living is a bit different to selling the local doctor’s house around the corner, or is it? When building, it costs no more to produce a pretty house as opposed to an ugly one, and it’s the same when marketing a property. It costs no more to list your house with me at Harcourts ― in fact, it will cost you nothing ― and it’s like building a good looking house. You want an agent and company people will look at before making a real estate decision. Our profile here at Harcourts gets the most results in New Zealand, and it’s results that count. I’m Kevin Haydock, an award winning agent, so call me so that we can discuss the different ways we can market your property for the best result. Remember, it’s your move!
