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!

We found Kiah to be amazing. She really knows her stuff when it comes to real estate and it shows how passionate she is about her work and clients. We would highly recommend Kiah and will definitely use her for our next sale and purchase.

We had a fantastic experience selling our property with the Blair pointon team. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process, keeping us informed every step of the way. We really appreciated their professionalism, persistence, and all the hard mahi they put in to achieve a great result. They managed everything so well and made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Kiah was a delight to have as our real estate agent. She went above and beyond all expectations we had and was extremely friendly and approachable. She made what can be a stressful experience stress free and streamlined. We highly recommend her to any would be buyers.

We have nothing but great things to say about Kiah. Her communication in particular was next level and made the entire process effortless. We have dealt with many agents over the years and would rate her among the best. Thank you.

Kiah made the entire home-buying experience feel seamless and personal. She truly listened to what we needed in our new home and worked tirelessly to find properties that matched our vision. She even reached out to other agents to explore every possible option for us. Kiah was flexible around our schedule, always available to answer questions, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Her renovation ideas helped us see the potential in properties we might have overlooked. With her sound advice, professionalism, and genuine commitment, we always felt confident we were in capable hands. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Kiah has been amazing to deal with from day 1. She has amazing market knowledge and a real hunger to find the property you are looking for. Kiah uses all of her tools available to her to succeed. Liasing with other agents, using digital platforms to the best of her ability and really listening to our needs and wants to find the perfect property. She's an amazing agent and great human. I would totally deal with her again and recommend Kiah to anyone looking for there dream home.

Working with Kiah was hands-down the best decision we made during our property search. As young buyers, the market felt incredibly daunting, but Kiah resonated with us instantly and made the entire process unbelievably smooth. What truly sets Kiah apart is her incredible market knowledge and network. Thanks to her, we were fortunate enough to get an opportunity on a private, off-market sale we never would have found on our own. Because it was a private sale, the path to securing the home wasn't straightforward, but Kiah supported us through every single twist and turn. There were no surprises because her communication was so clear and the roadmap was always well-mapped. Before we brought her on board, our weekends were pure chaos. Kiah transformed that by organising our open homes sequentially, saving us from driving all over the city. Throughout the process, she was always ready with completely honest feedback and professional opinions on things we wouldn't have even thought to look for or consider as first home buyers. Her dedication is unmatched, consistently giving up her personal time, answering questions late into the evenings and on her days off to keep us reassured. Sorry again Kiah... Kiah didn’t just help us find a house; she protected our interests, used her insider knowledge to unlock a private sale, and successfully guided us into our home. If you want a buyer's agent with genuine integrity and tireless dedication, look no further than Kiah. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Blair was very knowledgeable about recent area sales and comparing our property to others well. He gave great little tips to ensure we got the best money for our house. The team on the whole were quick to respond, helpful and friendly. Thanks team BP.

We cannot speak highly enough of Blair and his team at Lodge Real Estate. They were genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result for us and consistently made us feel like valued clients. Everyone treated both us and our home with the utmost respect, communicated clearly, and demonstrated total reliability and professionalism throughout the entire process
