About Rupert
Hi, I’m Rupert Kemeys – Lower Hutt born and bred. I started my real estate journey back in 2007 when I was just 18. First I worked with my dad (he showed me the ropes), then a year later I went out on my own as a salesperson. In 2009 my brother Elliot jumped in and we started selling together as “Kemeys Brothers”. After a few really good years we decided to take the big leap and open our own office under one of the biggest brands in New Zealand – Ray White. That’s when Ray White Kemeys Brothers was born. For the first 8 years I was Managing Director and we grew the family business from a handful of us to over 30 salespeople. The proudest moment was when two Hutt Valley boys passed $1 billion in sales – something Elliot and I never thought would be possible. Today the company is well past $2 billion in total sales. In 2020 Elliot took over as Managing Director and I stepped back into what I love most – selling homes. I enjoyed building the business, but I really missed being out there helping people every day. These days I’m back doing what I do best: working hard, selling as many properties as I can, while still giving every single client the highest level of service and getting them premium results. That’s why I’ve got more 5-star reviews than any other agent on RateMyAgent this year. So if you’re thinking of selling, or even just curious what your place is worth right now, give me a call or text anytime on 027 693 2141. I’d genuinely love to help you and your family get the very best result. Talk soon,

About Ryan
Ryan Baker is a Licensee Salesperson, Co-owner, and Managing Director of Ray White Kemeys Brothers, selling homes across Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt.   Ryan has sold more than 250 homes worth over $200 million. He was most recently named a Ray White Premier Member for 2026, an award placing him in the top 10% of salespeople in the Ray White Group. Ryan has built an extensive track record and is consistently recognised as one of the top-performing salespeople in the Hutt Valley. Ryan started his career in 2018 and quickly gained momentum in the industry. Ryan achieved Rookie of the Year in 2019 and his first Ray White Premier Member award in 2020/21, early into his third year in the industry. From there, his passion for real estate was clear, and his progression in the industry continued. He has since taken on co-ownership, the Managing Director role, and played a pivotal part in the company's most recent accolades, including the Chairman Elite Business Leader award for the years 2024 and 2025, an award achieved by teams who perform in the top 1% of the Ray White Group. Ryan works closely with Elliot Kemeys, who runs the business's day-to-day operations, allowing Ryan to focus on servicing his clients and delivering strong results. Ryan lists and sells his clients homes himself, from appraisal, through negotiation to settlement. What allows Ryan to do this at a consistently high level is that he is backed by an incredible team: fully licensed sales associate Laura Van Nus and executive assistant Chams. Together, they give clients a clear plan, regular communication, and results that count. Born and raised in the Lower Hutt, it is now where Ryan is raising his own family. He treats every sale like it's for someone he'll see at the local café, because often it is. He shows up, does what he says he'll do, and keeps pushing until the job is done. If real estate is your next move, you want Ryan in your corner. Give him a call today.

Amazing Communication from Start to Finish

Amazing Communication from Start to Finish

A massive thank you to Scoota and Rupert plus Lauren and the entire admin team behind the scenes for the fantastic job they did selling our property. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We especially appreciated the use of WhatsApp to keep everyone updated, share information and get things sorted quickly. It made the whole process incredibly efficient and straightforward. A really professional, proactive team who were great to deal with throughout. We would happily recommend them and will definitely be using their services again!

His dedication, clear communication, and genuine care made a big difference to us. Thank you, Ray, for all your help and support in making this happen. We highly recommend Ray to anyone looking to buy a home!

Exceptional service, genuine care, and support that went far beyond expectations!

Exceptional service, genuine care, and support that went far beyond expectations!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond in every possible way, and we are so incredibly grateful for everything she did for us. Even while we were still living in Canada, she made time to talk with us, answer our endless questions, and help us navigate the process from the other side of the world. Once we arrived, she continued to make herself available, often going well beyond what I would ever expect from a real estate agent. She even came along to view properties that weren’t her own listings, simply because she wanted to help us find the right home. What really sets her apart is that she genuinely cares. It wasn’t just about buying and selling a house; she made us feel supported, valued and looked after throughout the entire journey. Her kindness, patience, generosity and willingness to go the extra mile made what could have been a very stressful experience so much easier. We will always be grateful for the time, care and effort she put into helping our family find our home. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, you’re in very good hands!

Outstanding Professionalism and Support from Ray & Linda

Outstanding Professionalism and Support from Ray & Linda

I would like to sincerely thank Ray & Linda for their exceptional professionalism, patience, and support throughout our property purchase. They were incredibly helpful in coordinating between myself and the vendor, always communicating clearly and patiently and helping to keep the process moving forward. This was particularly challenging as both the vendor and I were overseas during part of the sale process, but Ray & Linda handled the communication and coordination extremely well. Their dedication and professionalism played a very important role in helping us finally reach a successful deal. Without their efforts, I believe the outcome could have been very different. I truly appreciate everything they did and would highly recommend Ray & Linda to anyone looking for knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy property agents.
