Yvette was absolutely fantastic to work with throughout our home-buying journey. She took us through many properties and was incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable every step of the way. What really stood out was her ability to think outside the box and present options we hadn’t even considered, which ultimately led us to the perfect home for our needs. She never made us feel rushed and genuinely cared about finding the right fit for us. Thanks to Yvette’s dedication and guidance, we ended up purchasing exactly what we were looking for. We’re so grateful for her support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

We had the pleasure of working with Ryan to buy our first home. He had excellent knowledge of the property and was able to answer all of our questions at our first viewing, and encouraged us to get in touch if we had any follow-up questions once we left. He made us feel at ease throughout the whole process and was incredibly genuine in all of his interactions with us. His communication and service is top notch, even messaging once we had moved in to see how we had settled. Thank you Ryan - we are stoked we got to work with you, and hope to again in the future.

Yvette went out of her way to help us from start to finish. We listed our property at not a great market time but had no choice as we suddenly had to relocate for work. Yvette stayed in consistent contact with us and was always suggesting ways we could improve the presentation or marketing of our house. Since we have not been present in the region since we left, we relied on her a lot for general market updates. She did not stop trying over the almost 2 years it was on the market, always keeping in touch, always keeping our property as relevant and promoting it as much as she could. We would definitely use your services again Yvette, you're a trooper and we knew you'd get it over the line for us, no matter how long it took!

Through the entire process of viewing the property to becoming unconditional, Yvette has gone above and beyond. Even with our own home settling 4wks prior to being able to shift into our new home that we bought through her, she went out of her way to find us a rental to live in until settlement date. Just amazing and so helpful! We have had such a great experience with this house purchase, and we highly recommend her professionalism, communication (no matter what time of day!) and just her all round kindness. We couldn't recommend her more. Thanks so much Yvette! James and Des.

We had a great experience working with Simon and Gillian. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and we always felt well informed. Their experience and strong knowledge of the Kerikeri market were clear, and their connections within the local community were invaluable. They also helped us navigate a slower market by providing honest advice and setting realistic expectations, which we really appreciated. We felt confident we were in capable hands and would happily recommend them. Thanks you two 💕

Simon is a great communicator. He is professional, transparent, very industry knowledgeable, 100% totally reliable & one who also provided continual timely progress updates. Additionally Simon was adept at providing relevant additional information as it may arise & or as required while been able to demonstrate a friendly welcoming & approachable manner at all times. We felt 100% confident & comfortable from the initial agency presentation, during & through & to final handover to the purchasers. His assistance to us as vendors in providing advice, guidance & direction with varying aspects of marketing, presentation, open homes etc. was most appreciated but importantly highly valued & effective. Over all we could not have been happier with the complete process from start to finish. All procedural & process aspects inclusive of pricing & negotiation were carried out with motivated professionalism, efficiency, transparency, genuine integrity & follow through. Thank you Simon to you & your team for a wonderful experience, an enjoyable experience that exceeded our expectations

Was lovely working with Pam and Kaye to purchase my first property on my own. The girls were extremely helpful every step of the way even after settlement. Highly recommended

I am really grateful to Ryan for listing and selling my home alongside Sarah Brandt. They took on board my thoughts and feelings about my property, then presented me with a good plan to move forward. They provided clear reasoning for their recommendations, and their communication throughout the process was excellent. The end result was a fast sale, right around what I expected, which allowed me to move on to my next property with little to no real headaches. Ryan is on point, and I felt very confident in my decision to appoint her and Sar[ as the team to sell our family home — which is a big decision.

Simon was an exceptional real estate agent to work with when selling our property in Kerikeri. From the very beginning, he was open, honest, and transparent, which gave us real confidence throughout the entire process. His communication was outstanding—whenever we had questions or concerns, Simon responded quickly, respectfully, and with genuine care. He made us feel supported at every stage and was always welcoming and approachable. What really stood out was how clear it was that Simon was working in our best interests as vendors. He consistently went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for us. He also kept us well informed with regular insights into the market and comparable local sales, which helped us feel in tune with what was happening and confident in our decisions. When choosing an agent, it’s so important to find someone who truly listens, respects your ideas, and makes you feel heard and understood—and Simon absolutely delivers on all fronts. He is someone you can trust to be firmly in your corner. I would happily recommend Simon to anyone looking to sell or buy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.
