Ash Hames and the Colliers Hawkes Bay team helped us sell our commercial property in Napier. Ash was responsive, knowledgeable, and a consummate professional.  The Colliers team are very experienced in the commercial market, and worked hard to make sure our property was profiled and presented to a wide network of potential purchasers. Ash utilised the strength of his database and connections to seek out purchasers and was actively engaged in our campaign with regular updates and information about the markets position. After all his hard work we ended up with multiple offers on the table, which he helped us evaluate and come to a decision on.

I highly recommend that anyone needing a commercial real estate broker gives Ash and his team a call - they get the job done, and they make it easy for you!

My commercial property clients want much more than just a commercial property agent; they want someone that they like and can relate to, someone who will work tirelessly on sale or leasing of their property even when the market looks weak, and someone who will think of all the options and possibilities. My clients found those qualities and that skill set in Ash Hames.
