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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved working with Tumehe

Amazing agent! Relaxed, patient, encouraging and kind, but still followed up regularly and helped get the sale over the line without being pushy. He went the extra mile and it didn’t seem to be an issue at all - he genuinely loves his job! I also absolutely loved working with Tumehe, it was a pleasure and I highly recommend him to both vendors and buyers. Thank you for being so supportive and helpful all the way from the first call to the keys being handed over! You’re a wonderful agent and in the exact right job ..!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ Tu made the whole process feel straightforward and easy

I purchased my first home through Tu and he was great to deal with from our very first interaction, right through settlement and handover. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Tu was always quick to respond, kept me updated, and I never felt pressured at any stage. There was a lot going on with buying my first home, but Tu made the whole process feel straightforward and easy to manage. He was genuine, approachable and always happy to help. I’d definitely recommend Tu to anyone looking to buy a home.

E te ihu oneone, e Tūmehe, tēnei te mihi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

E te ihu oneone, e Tūmehe, tēnei te mihi ki a koe mō tō mahi kaha ia rā, ia pō, ki te rapu kaihoko mō tō māua whare rēti. E kore rawa te mihi e mutu ki a koe. Ahakoa he tino wero te mākete, he waewae kai pakiaka a Tūmehe, he ringa rehe, he tangata ngaio. He tino koi tōna rautaki, he tangata titikaha ia. I ngā wā katoa, i āta whakamōhio mai ia ki a māua mō ngā āhuatanga o te hokonga. He mātau ia ki te mākete. I kaha tana whiriwhiri i te utu me ngā whakaritenga o te hokonga hei painga mō māua. He tangata pono ia, ā, i tino whakawhirinaki māua ki a ia. Ka nui te mihi ki a koe, e Tūmehe, mō tō tautoko i a māua mai i te tīmatanga ki te mutunga. Translation......... To the hard worker, Tūmehe, we want to acknowledge and thank you for the tremendous effort you put in, day and night, to find a buyer for our rental property. We cannot thank you enough. Although the market was very challenging, Tūmehe was tireless and hardworking, highly skilled, and professional. His strategy was very sharp and he was determined and persistent. Throughout the entire process, he kept us carefully informed about every aspect of the sale. He has a strong understanding of the market. He negotiated hard on the price and the terms of the sale to achieve the best outcome for us. He is an honest and trustworthy person, and we had complete confidence in him. Thank you so much, Tūmehe, for supporting us from beginning to end.
