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,

An Absolute Joy to Work With – Supportive, Genuine, and Attentive

I cannot recommend Ruby highly enough! She recently helped me buy my home, and the entire experience was so easy! Her communication and responsiveness were incredible, she was always making it easy. Her market knowledge well developed, when it came time to make an offer, she put together a comprehensive market breakdown of costs for surrounding homes in the area so I could move forward with absolute confidence. Beyond her sharp professionalism, she is just a genuinely nice and supportive person. My absolute favourite part of working with her was how truly excited she was for me. She went out of her way to celebrate the milestone, even asking if I wanted to take a photo next to the "Sold" sign. It is those sweet, thoughtful details that set her apart.

Honest, Professional and Highly Recommended.

I had a great experience working with Des to market my property at 8A Awamutu Grove. He was honest, professional, and kept everything simple and stress-free. His appraisal was prompt, his marketing advice was practical and cost-effective, and his market feedback was thorough and honest. Des is one of the most trustworthy real estate agents I’ve worked with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property in the Hutt Valley!

Ryan and his team showed great hustle and hunger to get us a result.

From start to finish, Ryan and his whole team were exceptional to deal with. Communication was outstanding, with regular updates, quick responses, and clear advice throughout the entire process. But where Ryan really delivered was in the negotiation. They were proactive, persistent, and clearly focused on achieving the absolute best result for us. We always felt they were firmly in our corner and working hard to maximize the outcome. Professional, sharp, responsive, and very good at what they do. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Ryan again and would recommend them to anyone thinking about selling.

Team Rupert Kemeys exhibited a wonderful mix of Professionalism, Personability and Humour

We enlisted the services of Team Rupert Kemeys due to us having dealt with them previously. Also, they had recently sold a neighboring property and had left their flyer at our property, which to us demonstrated their desire to obtain the listing. At our initial onsite appraisal we found Rupert very professional, beautifully presented and personable. We found his appraisal honest and accurate with him having very good market knowledge. Therefore we enlisted his services on the spot without the need to meet with other agents. We were provided with a detailed marketing plan which involved two open homes through to a deadline sale. At first we thought we would extend that to three open homes, however upon reflection we decided to remain with the initial plan which turned out to be absolutely the way to go. We were absolutely delighted with the photography and felt they had captured the true essence of the property. The video of Rupert and Scoota was cute ! After twelve days on the market, two open homes and numerous private viewings, we were presented with three offers at deadline. One of which we immediately accepted. Team Rupert Kemeys set up a group Whats App Chat which made our communication seamless. We really didn't require their more formal updates as we felt we were 'in the loop' throughout the entire process, therefore their communication style was brilliant and really suited us. With having recently sold a neighboring property, Team Rupert Kemeys brought with them their data base of prospective purchasers looking to purchase in the area, which could only have been advantageous to our sale. Therefore, in summary we could not speak more highly of Team Rupert Kemeys. We are more than happy to endorse their services and will most certainly entrust them with any future properties.
