I have been doing business with Maree since 2008 and have bought 3 properties through her. As an ex-pat investor I find Maree's end-to-end approach to service very reassuring. She helps work through all due diligence items, arranges council documents, facilitates inspections and rental appraisals, locates tradespeople for renovations and sets up the ongoing property management. I couldn't do any of that from where I live and must say that without Maree's help I likely never would have started investing in property. What I like most about working with Maree is the level of integrity she brings to the table. She places the interests of the investor first and has talked me out of purchases (of her own deals!) that I otherwise would have made, for reasons I would never have realized on my own. I plan to keep relying on Maree as I build my portfolio further.

I recently used Maree to help me find a property.
I was very specific in what I was looking for in a rental and had a list of must haves, wants and even a "bonus". I then gave my price range to work with. Now this list was not an easy task, but Maree went out and found a property that ticked all the boxes. The only thing I was a bit nervous about was that I lived remotely from the property and it needed work. Maree came up trumps again by putting me in touch with someone that could project manage the work required and understood exactly what I wanted the end result to be.....and he was far cheaper than other tradesmen I had also obtained quotes from.
I would not hesitate at all in using Maree again and to tell everyone about her.
She was professional, fast, diligent and really understood what I was doing.
Kind regards

Amongst all the various emails and communications I just wanted to say a big thank you for passing this property deal my way :)
You've been totally professional and I appreciate your support and patience with me while I've checked out the various issues leading up to going unconditional.
Many thanks!

"By the time I was ready to purchase property, I had been watching Maree's website and receiving her emails for at least a couple of years, so I could see she had a good track record.  Maree helped us through the buying process.  She was responsive, efficient and practical and her advice made the process as smooth as possible.  She also provides excellent post-sale support and can refer clients to other reputable professionals such as mortgage brokers and property managers.  Working with competent professionals such as Maree definitely minimises the stress associated with major investment decisions.  I will not hesitate to buy property with Maree again when the time comes".

"If you choose to proceed with one of Maree’s IP deals, rest assured that commitment, integrity, and communication will be part of the package.
It can get difficult when you commit to pursue an opportunity outside of your hometown because of due diligence requirements needing to be completed in an unfamiliar region, but Maree puts in much effort to help you complete the deal,
and then she provides ‘after-sales’ support as well. More importantly, she promotes profitable deals (with upsides) geared to providing good cash flow - which is key to helping you sustain ownership of rentals in the long term. Highly recommended".

"I recently purchased an investment property through Maree’s business and I found her service to exceed my expectations!!  During our transaction I was admitted to hospital, making some of the required tasks difficult for me to complete within the given timeframe.  Maree showed genuine concern and compassion for my situation, and with her constant support and willingness to go above and beyond what was expected, we got there in the end.  Even after the deal was done Maree continued to assist with organising property management and renovations. 
I hope to buy more properties through Maree in the future and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.  Thanks Maree".

"Having purchased a number of properties through Maree’s “I Find Property” service over the last few years, I can confidently say that Maree has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. She took the time to get to know my requirements and has the expert knowledge and skills to ensure that I got what I wanted, all in a friendly yet professional manner.

Maree has always shown a very high level of integrity, transparency and flexibility and I believe her service offers great value - not only do you get a great property deal but the additional advice, assistance and recommendations make her service outstanding. I highly recommend Maree to anyone looking to start off on the right track in property, be they first timers or seasoned investors."

"As a Kiwi investor based overseas, there are three qualities that I look for when working with a property finder: great communication, integrity/trust, and the ability to source great deals. From my first communication with Maree I knew I was in luck. She provided open and honest information about the property I was interested in, kept me up to date on all progress related to the purchase, and I always felt as though I was getting all the information I needed, as well as getting a great deal. For those looking to invest without being on site, I highly recommend Maree as the partner you work with, as I am sure I will be working with her again."

"I am delighted to write this testimonial for Maree.

We first met Maree 18 months ago when we bought an investment property in Kawerau. Whilst we have purchased properties before, this "property finders" situation was very new to us.

Maree made it simple and easy - so much so that our daughter and future son-in-law have just recently purchased their first investment property through her.
Maree was so helpful to us all - she has a very sound knowledge and passion for what she does and ensures she keeps up with all trends and financial situations...I can't recommend her enough."

"I've been investing in Rotorua property for some 4-5 years and Maree has come to be one of my great Rotorua resource persons. She has found properties for me to buy, and buyers for me when I want to sell. Basing her business as she does on integrity and a total willingness to help people, she has become a good friend. I trust her absolutely and recommend her without reservation."

Alistair Babbage (Auckland), July 2009


"As a ‘newbie’ Maree has been a great support for my first renovation!! From our first emails she made me feel like I was capable of achieving. Her friendly, caring personality has made me feel comfortable to confide in her, and her support has been fantastic!

Maree has guided me in all aspects of my investment; including purchasing a great deal, negotiating terms of purchase, sharing industry contacts, advise on where to purchase products and even assistance with rent negotiations. I’m grateful I met Maree and I’m confident I’m off to a great start. I will definitely be using Maree again to help me purchase more investment properties! Thanks Maree!"

"Being property investors in New Zealand for over ten years, we regularly research for investments to increase our portfolio. During our research we registered on Maree Tassell’s website and noted properties of interest to us. As we were returning for a short visit to New Zealand (we live in Dubai), we contacted Maree for further information and a possible meeting. Our important first impressions were extremely positive – we soon learnt that if Maree said she would do something, that not only was it done, but it was done immediately and efficiently.


Maree’s friendly and approachable manner made us absolutely comfortable in discussing our business with her. During that first meeting (almost a day affair), we were shown the property of interest along with a number of other options; given a ‘feel’ for a city with which we were not familiar; and introduced to a number of relevant people who would become future members of our ‘team’. Another attribute which impressed us was Maree’s ability to show potential in various properties by suggesting ‘investment’ options.

Overall we have been totally impressed with Maree’s professional and efficient approach and are pleased to consider her part of our ‘team’. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her services to other clients."

Allan and Shirley MacLean (Dubai), July 2009


"I have known Maree for 2 Years. My first introduction to her was in her capacity as a Professional Property Investor. I soon realized that Maree has a keen intellect, a sharp business mind and very clear ethics around how she does business. All traits that I admire Maree for and that, I believe is one of the many reasons why people like doing business with her.

As time has gone by, I have seen her demonstrate a very natural ability to coach and lead others, whether it be one on one with a client or with Real Estate people or in her role as the President of the Property Investors Association.
Maree shares lots of knowledge, energy and drive and gives freely to those around her. She has become a trusted adviser to many. At the same time she is curious by nature and is always asking, listening and learning. An absolute pleasure to work with and now also a great friend."

"I have known Maree for some years now; we first met while I was working at the Council and she was investigating property files and scoping development potential for clients. Having witnessed first hand her professionalism and instinct for property, I was confident registering my interest in property investment with her.  Since then I have not looked back! Both my father and I have purchased investment properties through Maree and we have been very impressed with her knowledge of property investing; but more importantly her honest candid approach in dealings. I have recommended Maree to friends and family and would advise others the same."

Anna Heap (Rotorua), April 2009


"We have been working with Maree for about 5 months to find an investment property. She has been great to work with and has gone out of her way to help us with whatever we have needed. She has high standards and integrity. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for property and look forward to working with her in the future. Thanks Maree."
