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,

Very knowledgeable agent that knows the market well

Des and his team were a pleasure to work with in a tough and changing market. We had great feedback that wasn’t filtered from buyers so we got to see what people really thought when viewing our property. We got a great result and price in a tough market in 2026 and there was a lot of work behind the scenes to get our property sold. We also have Des and his team working with us to find our next property and guide us along the way in this process too. Des is very experienced and knows the market well even when it changes.

I was the property “buyer” when I had the pleasure of meeting agent Bianca.

I was the property “buyer” when I had the pleasure of meeting agent Bianca. Straightaway I was impressed with her honesty regarding the property. There was no nonsense or uptalking, she clearly communicated the “goods” and the “bads” about the possible purchase. I also appreciated her encouragement as the process continued. Very pleased with the positive outcome and thank her sincerely for her assistance.

Exceptional service across the Tasman

Selling a property from another country could have been incredibly stressful, but thanks to Cole, it was one of the smoothest and most seamless experiences we’ve ever had. Living in Australia while selling our home in New Zealand meant we needed someone we could trust completely, and from day one, Cole exceeded every expectation. Her communication was exceptional, always responsive, proactive, and keeping us informed every step of the way. No question was ever too much trouble, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. What truly set her apart was her willingness to take ownership of every detail. She coordinated repairs and maintenance, on our behalf, managed unexpected issues, and handled tasks that would have been incredibly difficult for us to organise from overseas. Her professionalism, market knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care made what could have been a complicated sale feel effortless. We always knew exactly what was happening, what the next steps were, and that our property was in the very best hands. It’s rare to find someone who combines outstanding expertise with such a high level of personal service. Cole is quite simply the best real estate agent we’ve had the pleasure of working. We cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone buying or selling property. Thank you for making a potentially stressful process completely stress-free. Your dedication, hard work, and commitment did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you did for our family.

Smooth process

Ben made the entire process incredibly smooth and easy for us. From helping us draft the sale and purchase agreement to talking through and refining our conditions, he was fantastic. He was always open and honest, which made the experience of buying our first home completely stress-free. Definitely reccomend as an agent whether buying or selling.
