About Jeremy Watson

While Jeremy Watson may have been selling homes for only a year, his approach is born of a long career in various kinds of retailing and building client relationships, and he has fresh ideas on how that experience fits within real estate's rapidly changing environment. It is this attitude that immediately appealed to franchise-holders Carey and Jane Simonson. "Jane said she wanted to take on people open to the new ideas that are happening in the real estate industry. It appeals to me as well because it's much like what I've always done - it's still a people industry, and it's the people side I enjoy." Jeremy says another thing he loves about real estate is it gives you time to network. "You're doing that all the time, whether you're on the sideline of a sports game or a school function. Everybody asks you what you do, and when you tell them they often say 'I must remember that, because I've got a friend who's thinking of selling their house.'” Being long-time residents of Taranaki, Jeremy works closely with his partner, Kate Harris - they make the perfect team in and out of the office. Both have selling licences and Kate has eight years experience as a real estate office administrator. One thing Jeremy especially likes about the real estate business is the chance for some time flexibility. "Between Kate and me, we have five children aged between 3 and 13, all girls. That's another massive thing about real estate, you can be a bit elastic with your hours. You can find time to go to school camps, hang out with the kids. It's all about balance." When asked what drew him to Ray White, Jeremy responds: "The thing I liked about them is the innovation. As a company they're already ahead of where other companies are in terms of what they pour into their staff, their marketing, their drive. I listened in to a couple of their conferences with the Ray White people in Auckland and the support was amazing, many offers of help with various things. Jane and Carey are enthusiastic, excited about what they're doing. That's very contagious."

Happy Clients...

Over 9 months of trying to buy a rental property in New Plymouth, Jeremy was the most proactive, informative, helpful and genuine agent that I had the pleasure of dealing with. Jeremy has quick constant communication, and as I frustratingly missed out on a number of properties, he was quick to send me through new houses that matched my buying criteria. I work abroad and reside outside of the area - Often getting down to New Plymouth to view new listings was a challenge. Jeremy would go above and beyond to inspect newly listed properties within my criteria as soon as possible, he would then report back with further details to see if they were of my interest to pursue. He would constantly stay in contact and keep me advised on new listings that were soon to become available within the area. I have many friends who own real estate in New Plymouth and Jeremy will be my number one recommendation of an agent to go to when they wish to buy or sell. Jeremy is such a positive, friendly, outgoing person, who works hard. You would not be disappointed by his service!

Whilst looking for an investment property I was introduced to Jeremy through a family member. Jeremy is very pleasant and a delight to work with. He understood my needs and showed great respect to me. He went over and beyond what I would normally expect from an agent. Jeremy called or messaged me immediately a house became available that matched my criteria. He communicated regularly, provided up-to-date new listings immediately, went out of his way to fit in with my time to show me listings, is honest, shows integrity, provides all the facts and information, and followed up on any questions I had. He also saved me time by obtaining appraisals and any other important information to making an informed decision. I have no hesitation in recommending Jeremy to either sell your house or as a potential buyer. He treats you like you’re his number one client and builds a very trusting rapport with you. Highly recommended and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks Jeremy.

We recently listed our property with Jeremy having already moved out of the region. The property was vacant and rurally located. Jeremy went well over and beyond what you would expect from any real estate agent. When we first contacted Jeremy we anticipated that we would go live within a month – this didn’t eventuate due to unexpected medical circumstances. Not only was Jeremy exceedingly patient during a drawn out and frustrating “preparing for market” phase, he was also exceptionally hands on – going as far as finding a tradesman willing to travel to our location, and even undertaking manual labour himself around the house and property to make sure the property was presented well when weren’t able to get back to complete them ourselves. We were absolutely blown away by his dedication. Jeremy had a wonderful eye for detail and all of his advice to us in terms of what needed doing and what could be left ended up being spot on. He was easy to deal with, upfront and trustworthy. He also achieved a quick sale for a price we were extremely happy with. He often travelled up to check on the property and make sure everything was in order and regularly checked in with us on the progress at the property and checked the workmanship of contractors on our behalf. Once the property was listed the marketing he recommended worked exactly as we hoped and within 2 weeks we had 5 offers to choose from. His insights into the potential purchasers was spot on and everyone he picked as a serious buyer ended up putting in an offer. We would not hesitate to recommend Jeremy to anyone selling their property.

Jeremy made selling my house a breeze. His professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. Jeremy goes above and beyond in his ‘homework’ to find the right sale price range and he explains the reasons why. He kept me in the loop enquiries about my home was available to answer questions anytime. Jeremy is definitely customer focused. An example of that is when he offered to help me paint my fence and weed the gardens in preparation for my first Open Home. I have recommended Jeremy’s real estate service to my friends and family.

Jeremy has been an enormous help. He provided helpful advice and insights, was highly responsive, and was always willing to go the extra mile. All with a smile on his face. He was crucial during our house transaction and helpful after the S&P was agreed. I would recommend Jeremy to anyone.
