We recently bought two investment properties through Sandy Warren.  We are experienced property investors having owned several investment properties throughout the South Island for a number of years.  We were hugely impressed by Sandy’s communication skills, timeliness, and efficiency.  She worked hard on behalf of her vendors, but was also very good at communicating with us in a fair and even-handed way.  Punctuality was also a strength of hers.  Sandy also has a cheerful nature and good sense of humour.  We have no hesitation in recommending her as a vendor’s agent.

She was considerate in bringing buyers, in groups, by appointment to view my home on the riverbank.


She was always cheerful, always punctual, and kept me informed all the time.


The deadline sale brought five offers. I was delighted with the winning offer encouraged all the way by Sandy.

Selling our first home was a very big deal to us. Having to worry about maximizing our return and having a deadline to meet. Sandy Warren and the team at Haven Realty exceeded our expectation and all the above mentioned. Sandy’s warmth and support the entire way through – (when emotions and stress run high) was everything we needed. She offered tips on how to present the house and there were no hidden surprises. If you are looking to sell, I strongly suggest listing with the trusted Haven brand. Sandy is a real estate agent that’s skills and experience can not be put into monetary value.

Together we chose Haven Realty and our agent Sandy Warren. And then things just fell into place. Sandy worked closely with our daughter, always with a smile and exceptionally efficiently. There was nothing for us to worry about as everything was in hand. The outcome of the sale couldn’t have been better.

Hello Haven Realty


Now that the sale of our property has been finalised, settled and “paid for”, we wish to thank the whole team at Haven Realty for a superb job. Your sales campaign and communication has been excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending Haven Realty to anyone looking for a real estate agent.


We do, however, want to single out Sandy Warren for her friendly and professional service. She is the main reason we returned to Haven Realty to sell Tasman Street, because she helped us through the initial buying process.


Thank you again – if we do buy another property in Nelson, you will be our first port of call.


Kind regards

We commissioned Sandy Warren and Haven Realty to sell the property adjoining our own.


The result we achieved was truly outstanding and far exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have been happier. Sandy worked extremely hard on our behalf – the strategy she recommended worked like a dream. She negotiated very skilfully with the tenants in the house to ensure maximum exposure. This could have been a very fraught situation but she handled it beautifully.


We can’t speak highly enough of her skill, experience, wisdom and integrity. In 7 days we had a sale.


Thanks Sandy and team Haven. Would thoroughly recommend you to anyone selling their house. You made it very easy for us.

Sandy was amazing!  I couldn’t believe the level of service we received from her.  She made multiple trips back to the property especially for us and always worked around times that suited us.  She was always able to be contacted, even on weekends.  This being our first property purchase, Sandy was great at explaining the process and guiding us through it.  She worked very hard to negotiate the conditions and price with the vendor on our behalf.  We couldn’t have asked for a better Real Estate Agent.  In addition to all the above, Sandy is simply a lovely person and a joy to work with.


Thanks for all your help Sandy!!

Sandy goes the extra mile.

I have contracted Sandy Warren on a number of occasions both on both the buy side and sell side. On the buy side she is professional, but also tough, uncompromising and utterly determined to gain the best deal for her client. She creates and leverages multiple offers to the advantage of her client, creating a competitive buyer situation that simply put, pushes the purchase price up, by quite a lot.

I have contracted Sandy Warren on a number of occasions both on both the buy side and sell side. On the buy side she is professional, but also tough, uncompromising and utterly determined to gain the best deal for her client. She creates and leverages multiple offers to the advantage of her client, creating a competitive buyer situation that simply put, pushes the purchase price up, by quite a lot. And she does it with a warmth and humanity that is instantly recognisable, even by those for whom she is not acting. On the sell side, Sandy displays exactly the same traits, but you quickly realise that she is utterly determined to get the best possible result – this time for you! Going the extra mile for example, she will don the gloves, clean ovens by herself (if you forget) and get stuck in to every small detail to create a sale at the best possible financial outcome. Sandy Warren is not a real estate agent to be taken lightly by either a buyer or a seller.


Nicholas Lunn

Sandy’s quiet positive approach to selling our home was extremely successful.

Listing our home with Sandy Warren was completely stress free and very positive for my husband and I.

Listing our home with Sandy Warren was completely stress free and very positive for my husband and I. Sandy’s quiet positive approach to selling our home was extremely successful and worry free, her professional and easy going personality completely put us at ease and we valued her experience immensely in our decisions with the house sale. The professional approach and package both she and Haven Reality put together was of the highest quality. Thank you Sandy I can honestly say it was the easiest stress free house sale we have ever had!

Throughout the sale period of our home, Sandy has impressed us with her professionalism and determination to get the right buyers at the right price! Having said this, she always listened to our concerns, acted upon them and gave us sound advice as to the best practice as sellers.

She was always available, always in contact, keeping us well informed of interested parties and how the open days had fared.

Bright, cheerful and positive, Sandy gave us wonderful support when we were a bit “wobbly”.

We were also impressed with the way the property was marketed and presented through the advertising.

We have only admiration for Sandy’s excellence as our agent and for the support we received from Darryl Marshall and the whole Haven Realty team.

Thank you again Sandy
