Bought and sold with John

We bought the house through John and Lodge about 14 years ago. And now he has helped us with the sale. In all proceedings he has been approachable, helpful and trustworthy. He has communicated clearly and regularly and guided us through the whole process carefully and professionally.

Professional and knowledgeable

Working with David was a genuinely positive experience. He has a strong understanding of the local market and was able to explain everything in a way that was helpful without being overbearing. What we appreciated most was his balanced approach as he offered a good insight for us to make decisions, but never made us feel pressured or talked down to. David is friendly, approachable, and always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. His communication is consistent and thoughtful, and he made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. We always felt supported while still having the space to make our own decisions. We would happily recommend David to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, respectful, and easygoing real estate agent.

David was easy to talk, and connect, with from the moment we met.

David was easy to talk, and connect, with from the moment we met.

Communications with David were always clear and responses timely. We spotted this home as one of many coming to market and identified it as very suitable for our purposes. From the time I walked into the first open home, until now, with the deal signed, sealed and delivered, at every step David has been more than helpful in moving the process forward. As out of town buyers, David has also been helpful in giving us contact information for local tradies. We have dealt with many agents over the years. David is definitely in the top two. Attentive… not pushy. Thanks David

Made our dream of owning a home come true

Made our dream of owning a home come true

We recently bought our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the support we received from Derek. As a family, this was a really important milestone for us, and he made the whole journey feel smooth and stress-free. Derek was always friendly, patient, and easy to talk to. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and guided us every step of the way. No question was too small, and he was always quick to respond, which gave us a lot of confidence throughout the process. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared—not just about the sale, but about helping us find the right home for our family. Thanks to him, we’re now happily settled in a place we truly love. We’re so grateful for everything he did and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Friendly, well organised, and diligent real estate agent

Friendly, well organised, and diligent real estate agent

Kath was an incredible real estate agent for us. She was friendly, well organised, and diligent with getting things done in a timely manner. It was my first time selling, and my partners first time buying. Kath did an incredible job at explaining proceedings in a manner we both understood, ensuring we knew what to expect and what we needed to do to make the experience as smooth and stress free as possible. We would highly recommend her as an agent for both first time buyers and sellers, as well as those experienced in the process. Kath we are so grateful for all you have done for us and hope to one day work with you again for future buying and selling!

So Grateful We Chose Angela

So Grateful We Chose Angela

My wife & I had the absolute pleasure of working with Angela to sell our rental property, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep market knowledge, and genuine care for our goals. Angela took the time to understand our situation and crafted a strategy that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She provided valuable insights on pricing, handled every detail with precision, and communicated clearly every step of the way. Thanks to her expertise, we attracted multiple offers within a short time and achieved a fantastic sale price. The marketing materials were top-notch, and the property presentation was flawless. What truly stood out was Angela’s integrity, responsiveness, and commitment to getting the best outcome possible. Selling a rental property can be complicated, but she made it effortless. I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Hamilton. You’ll be working with a true professional who genuinely has your best interest at heart.
