Dean Smith is one of Dunedin’s familiar faces. Before making the move to Living Corporation he managed one of city’s biggest tyre outlets so you may have seen him around.

Dean thoroughly enjoys the Living Corporation environment which he describes as friendly, generous and supportive with a great agent training programme.
If you are looking to list, Dean’s advice is to take a bit of time to look around, and educate yourself about the market.

AWARDED 2009 : The Time to Sell Award or the "Real Estate Mastery Award"

  It was with great pleasure at our annual award ceremony to award Dean this very prestigious award. This award is what it says, the acknowledgement that the sales consultant has mastered the whole process of listing, marketing and selling real estate and achieving this in a time frame that headed off the other consultants in the company. Now this award is not about selling property faster than anyone else, it is a reflection of the superior communication skills, presention skills and marketing technique that Dean employs to get the best money available from the market in the shortest time possible. From the sellers point of view a quick sale is not only desirable, but the first three weeks of marketing is more likely to capture the highest selling price than beyond this time. Consequently, your choice of agent is perhaps more important than you may realize. Congratulations Dean on being the deserving recipient of this award.

Living Corporation Thought I should tell you what a great job Dean has done.
Obviously the result (quick sale at near to our price expectation in a difficult market - or so they say) is key but his manner, positive attitude, and professionalism was also very impressive. He has energy to burn and seems to apply it very well. Congratulations on selecting him for your team and training him well.

Cheers

I am wanting to express my gratification for the fantastic job the Living Corporation, particularly Dean Smith, did in recently marketing and selling our home.

Once again Living Corporation has exceeded our expectations.

As I am sure you are well aware, selling a property can be an extremely nerve-racking experience, more so when the purchase of your next property is reliant on that sale. Dean went out of his way to ease any apprehensions we had making our sale a positive and pleasant process.

Dean's professional yet easy-going manner is surely an asset to Living Corporation. My husband and I consider Dean to be a friend, not just the real estate agent we happened to list with. As a result of our interactions I have not hesitated in recommending Living Corporation and Dean Smith to anyone considering selling their property.

Kind regards,

Tania Baron

Dean Smith sold our house for us at Weir Street, Green Island. Both my husband and I found Dean to be very friendly, trustworthy and professional with the way he dealt with the sale. We would recommend him in the future to anyone who wants to sell their house. We were very happy with the service & outcome.
Thank-you Dean

"How wonderful it was to work with Dean when selling my home. It wasn't an easy time in April, but with Dean's passion for selling houses, I was able to surf away to Nelson on time. It was his attention to detail & positive outlook. From "The Surfing Nana"

Dear Judd and Carol

We would like to to say how pleased and satisfied we were with Dean Smith selling our home in Brighton. Dean was very helpful, passionate and enthusiastic regarding our sale, and that made the transaction so much easier for us. We were also very fortunate to have had him as well when we purchased our new home. Dean was a real pleasure to have around us as our agent and am sure he will be very successful in Real Estate.

Thank-you Living Corporation and for Deans services, and would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends.

Thank-you so much Dean.
