Bill was easy to deal with, outlining the process in easy to understand language and had a great understanding of current market dynamics. We received a well thought out proposal for the selling of our property that included local and relative comparative sales giving us a solid understanding of where the market was at currently. Excellent and timely comms after open homes and often follow up comms during the week as well. Couldn't recommend more highly and will be using him and Lodge again!

Nikki has been fantastic to work with. From the start she came in, understood our circumstances and showed a genuine interest in helping us with our journey. She took charge and worked around us to make the whole process as seamless and stress free as possible. She’s been a pleasure to work with along our journey and we are very thankful to have her marketing our home for us.

💥 Mahi Whakamiharo 💥- Amazing mahi Nikki. Our previous REA was leaving real estate and we had no idea how to find someone, Barnz had done some mahi for Nikki months back and remembered she was a REA. Made contact and that was the start of our journey. Nikki received us while we were almost broken and ready to call it quits!! We didnt know how much more disappointment we could take, Her positive attitude gave us hope, she had seen us at our worst and at times best. Straight shooter and always told us the good and bad! Buying a house is the most stressful experience we both have had EVER, we had tears, we had tantrums, but with the right team and knowledge we managed to land us a house with all that we wanted and needed in a house - we are so happy to start this journey feeling we succeeded but most of all we deserved it! With Nikki we achieved that, our former REA said to us "Nikki will take care of you" and that she did. We thank you wholeheartedly for putting up with our endless questions, tears and tantrums. We appreciate you. Ka nui te aroha ❤️ Barnz and Kelly

From the time I first engaged with Brian he appeared flustered and disorganized, constantly. He showed no respect for my privacy and security. Turning up at my home and phoning from my driveway, just to walk through my house again. Brian told stories that didn't add up, seemed like a lot of white lies. He didn't explain the fee structure and still has not, unconditionally was last thursday. Also I was brow beaten down on my price.. This is humiliating, for Lodge. This agent turned up at my house to present offer, and didn't bring the offer, I had to look on as his fluster grew to embarrassment. I explained i didn't feel respected or listened too, Brian arrogantly stated "he doesn't agree".. he has had multiple opportunity to communicate and make the situation better. He choose not to, I still have a fricken key in my yard even after discussing how uncomfortable this made me feel. Brian made no effort to make this process about me, it was all about him. I worked hard to get this house in top form. Brain made it 10 times more difficult. I am so dissapointed and look to get resolution through the REA, as having spoken to Lodge no one is taking responsibility for the bullying and railroading behavior I had to endure. I feel concerned now for my elderly neighbour who sold 10 below because of working with Brain. It feels like Brian does not give a hoot about the seller. Brian constantly said he would "do to now" and let me down over and over, no aparent consideration for my time. He pressured me, in front of other about a key for access, then with total oblivion dropped that key on the sidewalk and walked away oblivious, right on front of me. This agent is not working in the 2025 environment, his total lack of emotional intelligence makes him a liability. He just didn't listen and if he had, we would have been fine. This was a horrible experience because of your agents attitude. I'm apauled that people still behave like this in a modern world. No trust established.

Bill is hard working and quick to respond to queries and problems. He is good at getting the deal done in a timely efficient manner. He has done more for me than just real estate sales. He has helped me with managing builders and contractors in and out of the property during the sales process. These little favours have made my life easy as I live overseas.

Selling our Mum’s apartment after we lost her was always going to be an emotional experience but James handled everything sensitively. Although we didn’t get what we were hoping for based on James’ initial estimate it was great to get the place sold in what was a difficult market.

Thanks Joyce for assisting us all the way. She's definitely one of the best. She tries her best to be available at all times, to be able to guide us in getting out first home. Very professional too!

Selling / buying property these days seems fraught with pitfalls and gotchas. Micheal was able to steer us through all of it with his friendly relatable and knowledgeable approach. His wariness and caution of any potential liabilities gave us confidence and trust in his abilities. From dealing with Body Corp on our behalf (which changed companies during the sale process just to complicate matters), liaising with our lawyers, minute details such as detailing the chattels and personally attending the building report survey. I have lost count of the number of open homes and the hours Micheal has put in to this sale. The market is slow and he persuaded us to allow him to persevere when we were ready to give up. This proved to be the right decision. He achieved the sale, obtained our price and we remain very grateful. It has been a real pleasure working with Michael and the rest of the Lodge team. Highly recommend.

Great service from Bill again - this time as my buyer's agent. I can highly recommend Bill whether buying or selling. He has proactively and very efficiently helped me with both over the past few years.
