Team Blair and Paula listed my property and within a week or so I had an offer that was negotiated quickly and practically to a live contract. Rental property was sold with Tenant willing to stay and purchaser willing to keep the good tenant. Settlement was completed a few days ago. Communication and messages were regular and clear from the team. Lodge accounts were correct and overall a smooth experience.
Team Blair, provided us with realistic market knowledge and with honest recommendations to prepare our propery for sale. Kept us very informed during the process. All the team responded to our questions promptly and with honesty and integrity. I would highly recommend Blair and his team and thank them all for their professionalism and for making this a relatively stress free experience.
Johnny had an excellent knowledge of the local market and a good style for negotiating. Very professional and well organized indeed. Would not hesitate to use these guys in the future, they struck me as being good honest folks.
A great team that work well together by keeping us up to date promptly and efficiently. Our second sale of late and would highly recommend team BP!
From start to finish, working with you was an absolute pleasure. You made the sale of our section feel easy and stress-free with your clear communication, honest advice, and professional approach. We really appreciate everything you did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell property. It was a fantastic experience.
Kiah was excellent to work with! Kiah is professional and approachable. She went above and beyond to ensure we had clarity around the process of buying a house. Kiah was quick to respond to queries and we were super grateful for her help.
Paula was really easy to deal with. She was very upfront on vendor expectations and worked hard to achieve that. Any messages we sent were promptly returned. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Blair, Kiah, and team made selling our house a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. They kept us in the loop every step of the way, and the sale strategy they proposed worked exactly as they said it would. Their communication and follow-through gave us real confidence throughout the process — highly recommend them to anyone selling their home.
I cannot recommend Kiah from Lodge Realty enough. We decided to sell our property in Australia and move back to New Zealand on a whim, and if that wasn’t going to be stressful enough, we also decided to purchase a property in New Zealand at the same time, without being able to view it ourselves. From day one, Kiah’s professionalism, clear and speedy communication and warm and genuine approach helped make the process so much easier. She exceeded all expectations and accommodated our requests for information on the property and to have people view the property on our behalf. Her knowledge, patience and understanding were invaluable when I got dates wrong and she had to redo the sale contract several times, and when I had questions about the purchase process and New Zealand property market and how they differed from Australia. She answered every question we had, explained everything step by step and guided us along the way with an amazing calming ability yet upbeat and infectious energy at the same time. She went above and beyond to make sure the sale went through. She looked after not only her sellers but us as purchasers as well. I have great respect for Kiah as a person and as an agent, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her should we need to sell/buy in the future.
Kiah first connected with us when we started looking at a nearby property. From that first conversation, her approach was curious and genuine — never pushy or sales-driven. She was genuinely interested in what had prompted us to start looking, which led to further conversations about what might be possible. Kiah offered to do some due diligence on our home, appraise it, and help us see whether the numbers made sense. Her expectations were realistic and well researched, giving us confidence to move forward. A key moment that really captured who Kiah is as an agent was when I was heading overseas - a maintenance issue arose. I called her feeling overwhelmed and said perhaps this just wasn't our time! Kiah reassured us it was manageable, and, that same day, arranged a trusted builder to assess and quote the work. She then liaised directly with him while I was overseas. It showed her genuine investment in us as people, not simply clients. Throughout the campaign, Kiah was incredibly communicative and responsive to the market, while always sensitive to us as homeowners. She continually reflected on the campaign, refining wording and marketing details to ensure our home was presenting its true assets and value. Her approach was researched, considered and responsive to an ever-moving market. Kiah was equally patient with buyers, giving people the genuine human space needed to connect with a home. This ultimately brought us multiple offers and enabled us to move on to our next adventure, just around the corner in Hayes Paddock. We couldn't recommend Kiah more highly. She is a wonderful agent and a genuinely good human. It's clear she has chosen real estate because she loves people, life and living - and wants to make people's lives better!
Kiah was great to deal with throughout the process. Communication was always quick and she was very responsive whenever we had questions or needed an update. She was easy to get hold of, helpful with anything we needed and always kept things moving along. Overall, a really positive experience and we’d happily deal with Kiah again. Very excited to move into our new forever home!
