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.

Highly recommend working with him!

Tu was so helpful with all of the questions we had with our first home purchase. He took his time to check in on how things were progressing and that we understood every part of the process. Highly recommend working with him!

Excellent communication

Garry Huata has now sold my second home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He was incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole process. Garry always went the extra mile and made me feel comfortable, supported and confident that I was in good hands. His experience, communication and genuine care made the whole selling process so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Garry has done for me and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home.

Tu worked incredibly hard for us and went above and beyond to help us achieve the price

We can’t thank Tu enough for all his hard work in selling our house! From the very beginning, he was energetic, positive, approachable, and genuinely friendly, making what can often be a stressful process feel so much easier. Tu worked incredibly hard for us and went above and beyond to help us achieve the price we were asking for — and thanks to his dedication and determination, we got it! 🙌 He was always available, kept us informed, and never made us feel like a burden. You can tell he really cares about his clients and takes pride in getting the best possible result for them. We would highly recommend Tu to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. A fantastic estate agent, a hard worker, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thank you again, Tu!
