About Sarah
My core values are trust, integrity, and determination, and being able to offer a full service for a fair fee is very satisfying. Raine & Horne are an established company that has structured itself to reduce the cost to our clients but does not compromise the service it offers. One way of doing this is by having a centralised structure. Raine & Horne is an innovative and fun place to work. We never sit back on our laurels but are always looking for new and efficient ways to improve the service we offer our clients. One of the ways we do this is by constantly looking at ways to enhance the marketing landscape. Our aim is to bring Raine & Horne properties to the attention of all types of house hunters, from the passive to the active. By doing this we can help our clients find their next home and our homeowners find the best buyer, not just the first buyer. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, but I underpin that with my professional knowledge to ensure that I can guide them through the Raine & Horne process with the aim of achieving excellent results and a positive, stress-free experience for all parties. If you would like to catch up and have a talk about your property, please give me a call or book a no-obligation appraisal.

She was very helpful, and did a wonderful job, thus making both vendor and us happy!

She was very responsive and answered our queries as soon as possible. I enjoyed her friendly, informal approach. She appeared very knowledgeable. We were most impressed with her negotiation skills, as at one point it looked like there was an insurmountable gap between our offer and the vendor's price, but she brought the deal safely home. Cannot fault the job she did at all!

Friendly, professional and dedicated to achieving the best outcome for his vendor

We recently purchased a property through Garry and had a really positive experience throughout the process. There was a significant amount of interest in the property, with very busy open homes, but Garry always made the time to answer our questions and keep communication open. What stood out to us was his genuine dedication to representing his vendor’s best interests. Even as buyers, we appreciated his professionalism, transparency and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for the seller. Garry was friendly, approachable and responsive throughout, and we really appreciated the way he managed the process. We’d happily recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐He went above and beyond at every opportunit

We honestly couldn’t recommend Tumehe highly enough! From the very beginning, Tumehe was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He is everything you could hope for in a real estate agent - professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome. What really sets Tumehe apart is his character and extraordinary work ethic. He is refreshingly down-to-earth, honest, patient, and incredibly easy to communicate with. The amount of time, effort, and care he put into everything was genuinely remarkable. He went above and beyond at every opportunity, and it was clear just how hard he worked behind the scenes to make things happen. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble. There were a few complexities to navigate along the way, but Tumehe handled everything with professionalism, determination, and a reassuringly level head. It’s not often you come across someone who combines such genuine warmth and integrity with an exceptional work ethic and such a high standard of service. Tumehe is an absolute credit to his profession, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent. Thank you, Tumehe!
