First National Real Estate Collective - New Plymouth

Nikki is a hard working agent, and is proactive and calming in what can otherwise be a fairly stressful time. I was looking for quite awhile and she regularly checked in, but with no real pressure. She quickly dialed-in to my needs, bringing forward numerous options that ticked many of my boxes. Once we found the right place she helped navigate the detail at the pointy end, right through to moving in. Thanks Nikki!

We want to express our sincere appreciation to Nick Hughes for his exceptional dedication during the sale of our home. Selling a property on a tight 10-day clause and quick settlement timeframe is demanding enough, but Nick’s diligence, clear communication, and professionalism shone through from start to finish. This transaction presented unique challenges, requiring a high level of patience and diplomacy to navigate contrasting expectations and intense contract conditions. Despite these pressures, Nick acted as a dedicated advocate for a fair and lawful outcome, maintaining complete composure and efficiency throughout. When questions arose surrounding building reports and site access, Nick worked seamlessly alongside legal counsel to ensure all contractual terms were strictly upheld while maintaining complete transparency. He brought immediate solutions to the table, including trusted, well-qualified trade contacts at a moment's notice to resolve matters on the spot. Nick’s expert problem-solving and steadfast guidance turned a high-stress situation into a successful result. We could not have asked for better representation. If you want a true professional who is honest, hardworking, and genuinely cares, call Nick!

Poor communication, poor form with communication of the sales and purchase agreement. Got a builder inspector report was denied access to get quotes for the work identified. Had to get my lawyer involved. There was a short 10 days working clause and quick settlement. Advised the client the report was false even know it was from a reputable builder. A experienced roof company agreed with the findings. I would advise based on my experience not to purchase a property with Nick or first national. Now they costing me more money as I have to go through lawyers now. Not fair, stressful and costly.

I recently purchased a house with Jamie Gemmell as the real estate agent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jamie was incredibly professional, genuine and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. Despite having a very short turnaround, she made everything feel completely seamless and easy. ​I never felt rushed or pressured, and she took the time to explain everything clearly and keep ​me informed at every step. She was always approachable, responsive and genuinely cared about helping ​me through the process. ​I would absolutely recommend Jamie ​as I am so grateful for everything she did to make the process such a positive experience.
