Working with Jen Batty was one of the best decisions I made during the biggest financial transaction of my life. Selling and purchasing simultaneously in this market was incredibly stressful. I was navigating the fear of selling in a softer townhouse market while buying in a buyers’ market, aligning two contracts, managing tight deadlines, and ensuring both properties went unconditional with same-day settlement. There were complex clauses, back-and-forth negotiations, last-minute KiwiSaver timing issues, and significant pre-settlement pressure. Through all of it, Jen made me feel safe. She was calm, strategic and always clearly on my side. When difficult clauses arose - including attempts to create settlement leverage over minor matters - she handled everything firmly and lawfully, protecting my position without escalating conflict unnecessarily. I always felt that she was using every appropriate legal avenue to safeguard me. What stood out most was Jen’s communication. She explained everything thoroughly, in plain language, and made sure I understood each step before moving forward. Even during the most tense moments, she remained composed, professional and compassionate. I never felt dismissed or rushed. Jen also coordinated seamlessly with agents and other parties to keep momentum going and ensure alignment between my sale and purchase. The complexity of achieving unconditional status and same-day settlement cannot be overstated - and she guided it across the line with precision. I genuinely do not believe I would have reached the finish line as smoothly with just anyone. Jen’s care, attention to detail and steady presence made an enormous difference. I am deeply grateful and would recommend her without hesitation.

Jane was very helpful as usual with a complex land transfer as we live overseas buying land in New Zealand. Jane is very efficient and a trusted advisor. I highly recommend her to anyone.

We dealt with Jane Haynes when purchasing our first home. She was extremely helpful and patient, explaining everything in detail. As this was our first home we were quite anxious but Jane made the process simple and straightforward for us! We definitely recommend Jane and the Galbraith's team.
