What Clients & Agents Say
Trustworthy, Proactive, and Results-Focused I first came across Donna when I was looking to buy a property that she was selling. From that initial interaction, I found her to be professional, approachable, and trustworthy. That sense of trust was the biggest factor in choosing her as my agent, especially as I was selling the property from out of town. Donna made the entire process very easy for me. She coordinated directly with my tenants and property management team, took ownership of the practical details, and made sure everything progressed smoothly without me needing to be heavily involved. She successfully managed the sales process end to end, from preparing the property for sale, coordinating viewings, negotiating with buyers, securing multiple offers, and taking the sale through to settlement. I really appreciated Donna’s professionalism, communication, and commitment throughout the process. I would highly recommend Donna to anyone considering selling their property in Queenstown.

We knew from the moment we met Donna that we had made the best choice in choosing our ideal agent! We recently sold our home through Donna Hewitt at Connect. Donna was absolutely brilliant. Normally we find the process of listing a home stressful and over whelming, however Donna changed our perception on the whole process. We consistently felt so comfortable and supported Donna due to her excellent communication! We would absolutely recommend Donna to anyone wanting open transparency, ease, professionalism, and genuine kindness and thoughtfulness in the process of selling their home. Absolutely incredible service and attention to detail. Thankyou so much Donna for looking after us during what can often be an stressful journey. You made the sale of our home feel quite effortless. With our very best wishes, Serena and Eugene Posted by Serena (Seller) on 03 May 2026

Friendly, hyper responsive Donna was a pleasure to deal with. She struck us as honest and made us feel comfortable throughout the process of buying. Very personable and friendly, without any pretence.

Donna was an amazing agent for us. She was super bubbly and easy to talk to We got recommended to use Donna from one our friends who had previously used her as their agent and said how amazing she was. She came in with a very positive attitude and was very helpful and supportive of our decisions. Such a kind heart and would always approach us in a bubbly manner. We loved that she wasn’t always “businesses” minded and would be up for a chat about how we are and how our children have been. Would highly recommend using Donna to others.

Donna is a friendly, professional agent with integrity who worked tirelessly for us. She was very responsive to potential purchaser interest and kept us fully informed throughout the campaign. Donna's appraisal was not exaggerated and reflected market conditions. We were delighted to conclude the sale above our expectations within a short space of time. We would definitely buy or sell through Donna and have no hesitation in recommending her.

Hi Donna, Just a big thank you for helping us sell our house. You were dedicated and thorough in everything you did. You were not "pushy" but very informative and bent over backwards to help us out with any problem large or small. We have told many people about you and hope the word of mouth advertising works for you. We wish you well in your career in real estate, because you are great at it.

Trustworthy, Proactive, and Results-Focused I first came across Donna when I was looking to buy a property that she was selling. From that initial interaction, I found her to be professional, approachable, and trustworthy. That sense of trust was the biggest factor in choosing her as my agent, especially as I was selling the property from out of town. Donna made the entire process very easy for me. She coordinated directly with my tenants and property management team, took ownership of the practical details, and made sure everything progressed smoothly without me needing to be heavily involved. She successfully managed the sales process end to end, from preparing the property for sale, coordinating viewings, negotiating with buyers, securing multiple offers, and taking the sale through to settlement. I really appreciated Donna’s professionalism, communication, and commitment throughout the process. I would highly recommend Donna to anyone considering selling their property in Queenstown.

We knew from the moment we met Donna that we had made the best choice in choosing our ideal agent! We recently sold our home through Donna Hewitt at Connect. Donna was absolutely brilliant. Normally we find the process of listing a home stressful and over whelming, however Donna changed our perception on the whole process. We consistently felt so comfortable and supported Donna due to her excellent communication! We would absolutely recommend Donna to anyone wanting open transparency, ease, professionalism, and genuine kindness and thoughtfulness in the process of selling their home. Absolutely incredible service and attention to detail. Thankyou so much Donna for looking after us during what can often be an stressful journey. You made the sale of our home feel quite effortless. With our very best wishes, Serena and Eugene Posted by Serena (Seller) on 03 May 2026

Friendly, hyper responsive Donna was a pleasure to deal with. She struck us as honest and made us feel comfortable throughout the process of buying. Very personable and friendly, without any pretence.

Donna was an amazing agent for us. She was super bubbly and easy to talk to We got recommended to use Donna from one our friends who had previously used her as their agent and said how amazing she was. She came in with a very positive attitude and was very helpful and supportive of our decisions. Such a kind heart and would always approach us in a bubbly manner. We loved that she wasn’t always “businesses” minded and would be up for a chat about how we are and how our children have been. Would highly recommend using Donna to others.

I am delighted to say that you are a truly professional and competent agent, your efficiency and stamina led to results I didn't think would be achievable in the first place and such short timeframe . I definitely wouldn't hesitate to work with you again in the future. I wish you and your family all the best.

Donna was transparent, responsive and also empathetic to our buying situation given it was our first time buying, and added complexity was us buying from outside of NZ her local context was helpful.

Donna is a friendly, professional agent with integrity who worked tirelessly for us. She was very responsive to potential purchaser interest and kept us fully informed throughout the campaign. Donna's appraisal was not exaggerated and reflected market conditions. We were delighted to conclude the sale above our expectations within a short space of time. We would definitely buy or sell through Donna and have no hesitation in recommending her.

Hi Donna, Just a big thank you for helping us sell our house. You were dedicated and thorough in everything you did. You were not "pushy" but very informative and bent over backwards to help us out with any problem large or small. We have told many people about you and hope the word of mouth advertising works for you. We wish you well in your career in real estate, because you are great at it.

Donna sold two houses on our behalf and achieved a great result including multiple offers and an immediate result in both sales. She was professional and went the extra mile to ensure the sales were successful.
