Happy vendors - 2 beddie gets $125 K more than 3 beddie in road
“My sister and I recently had to sell our family home, it was a hugely personal and emotional experience for us both.
Our first hurdle was to clean and clear the property so we could present it to its full potential. What a massive job that was, where do you start!!!
Team Parfitt were introduced to us, and we had no hesitation in bringing them on board to do the really hard stuff, market and sell our home full of memories.
Lisa and Wayne really looked after us like we were all family, we got to know them really well and it was always a pleasure to chat.
When it came to Auction time, we met up the night before to set our reserve and Wayne even went as far as to say that if we didn’t achieve our target, he would eat his shoes…
On Auction day he looked very sharp in his suit and I did check out his shoes – definitely non edible.
Of course, with such lovely people and being totally dedicated to our success we achieved a result of over $200K above our expectations, needless to say Wayne’s shoes were safe.
Lisa and Wayne, you worked so harmoniously together and made our experience seamless.
Thank you so much, you helped us to make our mum proud, she would be very happy as are we.”

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
