"Having purchased two sections of land on Kawau Island over the past twelve months for our family, I would like to compliment John Pryor for the most efficient and professional manner in which he acted on both transactions.

Our purchases ran smoothly from start to finish and I must say I felt a lot more confident doing business with someone who actually lives on the island and has a very active role in the Island community. Always willing to offer advice or assistance it was a genuine pleasure doing business."

"We have recently brought a home at North Cove after seeing the property prior to Christmas. There were a few obstacles for us to overcome in order to make the proposition work for us, and we feel very lucky to have had John working to make the deal happen for both parties. He really did go the extra mile and without him we would not be enjoying fresh snapper for dinner! We would have no hesitation in recommending John's services to anyone who is seeking property on Kawau."

"As recent purchasers of property on Kawau Island, we are grateful to John for his assistance in facilitating the sale and purchase procedure. His knowledge of the island was invaluable to us. John's calm manner and professionalism were much appreciated and we would not hesitate to call upon him again, if the need arose."

"Two things we appreciated – your web-site and email service for new listings, which allowed us to move so quickly to secure the property, as well as keep track of other sales so we knew how easy it was to miss out on something. Secondly, we have to thank you for the 'after sales' service. Kawau property ownership is a new set of challenges and your local knowledge and willingness to help took away a lot of beginner anxieties for us.
We really appreciated it. Can't wait for the summer!"

Jan Hollway - Education Consultant

"As a resident of Kawau and a sailor well familiar with the Gulf, John is very well placed when it comes to finding the 'right' property for people buying for perhaps the first time in a coastal environment. He listened to us, made suggestions and successfully matched us with a property we have grown to love and intend to enjoy for many years"

"When we first met John to look at property on Kawau, he was wearing gumboots and a backpack and I knew immediately he wasn't going to be a 'normal' real estate agent. I was right. He gave us the best service and became a good friend.

"If you're even thinking about buying land or a house on Kawau Island – Call John Pryor. After seeing the properties on his site, we subscribed to John's email list, which is how we got to be the first to see the land we eventually bought. We found John's unassuming manner to be perfectly in step with Kawau Island and the lifestyle we were seeking by purchasing land there. John provided us with frank and trustworthy information about life on Kawau, put us in touch with the best valuer we've ever used, and even gave us his honest opinions. We are now delighted to call Kawau home and have John as a neighbor and a friend."

Michelle Sullivan & Shaun Lott - Mt Eden and North Cove

The efficient and effective business of property transaction, for Vendor and Purchaser has been exemplified by you. The informative Web Site was of particular interest and benefit.

Whilst Health reasons will prevent us from retiring to Kawau Island, should we pursue a property purchase in Mahurangi/Warkworth area, we most certainly will contact you first.

Regards and Seasons Greetings."

"John Pryor had our house on Kawau Island listed for sale. He did a wonderful job at displaying and wording our web page on the www.kawau.co.nz web site. John kept us updated and informed regularly and when we did get a sale he tied things up nicely at his end and was very dedicated and thorough. Thank you John, a nice job, well done.
