Absolute Superstar!!

Absolute Superstar!!

Brenda and the Rise Realty team showed exceptional market knowledge and commerciality when it came to getting our home on the market. The council CV's came out the week after we listed and this could have derailed our process quite easily (and a few buyers tried their luck!). Brenda's skill and experience made sure the value was well understood for the property and we nailed a contract in under 3 months at a price we were very happy with - and approx $250k higher than other well known agents projections - so clearly we had the best agent on the job! Thanks Team Rise Realty!!

Exceptional Sales Service!

Brenda and the Rise Realty team showed highest possible professionalism and the best sales service we have ever had from a real Estate Agent - and we have worked with many over the years! Her commerciality and knowledge of the end to end process made the purchase exceptionally easy, even with the unexpected hitting us in the 11th hour! Hugely grateful :)

Rise Real Estate took the stress out of selling!

Working with Rise Real Estate to sell our house has been an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, they made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. All the advice was always spot on, clear, informative, and tailored to our specific situation. Rise Real Estate’s expertise and professionalism were evident in every step, and all communication kept us fully informed throughout without feeling lost. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend Rise Real Estate to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you, for the outstanding service!

Brenda is the best! She is very efficient, goes above and beyond and delivers exactly what you need

We couldn't thank Brenda enough for the support and knowledge around purchasing our newly built home. We first meet Brenda at one of the many open homes and she was the only agent who put in the time and effort to personally show us around Te Awamutu and the options available. We lived out of town so it was difficult to get over and Brenda made it all work without question she was there. She had a lot of knowledge about the area and advice and understood what we were looking for. There were a lot of time pressures but Brenda had such great communication and organizational skills to keep us informed each step of the way, and kept us on track with the least amount of stress. Brenda is super approachable and friendly in her delivery, she never made us feel like we couldn't ask her something and she does go above and beyond, she was always a phone call away. You won't be disappointed with her service we highly recommend her. Thanks again.

I am extremely impressed with Kylee's out-of-the-box thinking when it came to selling our home. She delivers exceptional results in great time frames. We took her lead on how to market and price guides. Our home sold within weeks. Highly recommend

We loved working with Kylee!

We loved working with Kylee!

We found Kylee to be really friendly, responsive and proactive. We met her at an open home and she suggested an off-market home for us to take a look at. We saw the vision for the renovation and kept in touch while it was developed. This ended up being the home we bought, and we couldn’t be happier! Kylee was always happy to answer all our questions and she made the process easy and positive. We would definitely work with her and Rise again!

I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Rise Real Estate, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. The agents were knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly responsive, making it easy to ask questions and get the information I needed. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, which really showed in the listings they provided. The marketing strategies they employed were top-notch, and I felt confident that my property was being showcased to its fullest potential. If you're looking for a dedicated and professional team to help with your real estate needs, I highly recommend Rise Real Estate. They made what could have been a daunting process into a great experience!

Brenda Donaldson is truly an outstanding real estate professional! From the moment we decided to sell our home at 24A Oliver Street, Brenda guided us through the process with confidence, expertise, and exceptional attention to detail. Her deep understanding of the market and her strategic approach resulted in a smooth sale, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Brenda’s communication was always clear, timely, and professional, ensuring that we felt informed and supported at every step. It’s easy to see why she’s one of the top agents—her dedication, work ethic, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking for a top-tier agent who truly delivers results!
