Patrick was a great assistance when we were purchasing our rental property. He was very professional in all the dealings with regards to the purchase.He is professional yet takes your feelings and hesitatations to the experience. There wasn't a moment we felt we weren't his most important clients,and nothing was ever any trouble to him.We would highly recommend to anyone that wants trustworthy and honest service.Would definitely recommend.

I recently purchased a house through Patrick Gao of First National. I can't speak highly enough of him and his service. He was a real gentleman throughout the process, was honest and upfront and always managed to provide clear answers - either at the time or once he had found an answer from the Vendor. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone wanting a straightforward Agent who listens and always acts with Integrity - hard to find in today's market.

Patrick was a great agent to work with. He is very professional and friendly, we felt comfortable with him right from our first visit. He took the time to listen to our needs and wants and gave us wise and invaluable advice. Patrick researched the market and provided us with detailed research to accurately market our home to the right audience. He supported us throughout the process and went above and beyond what was required to assist us with the sale of our home. What really appealed to us is Patrick’s calm demeanour. He speaks and acts thoughtfully and with genuine interest in his clients. At no time did we feel pressured to do anything we didn’t feel comfortable with, and he was always available and willing to give advice. If we were to sell again, we would seek out Patrick to market our property.

Good communication, helpful

I see that Patrick's previous reviews are from a vendors perspective, here is one from a happy purchaser. My husband and I recently purchased one of Patrick's listings. I asked him to arrange a viewing for an investment group that we are part of, which he did. I don't think he realised how many were coming until a convoy of us turned up on the day! Lucky he's pretty chilled because he handled the multitude of questions fired at him really well. We put in an offer before we left. He was really helpful and answered any texts, emails or phone calls, didn't matter what time of day it was, but the thing I think we have enjoyed most is his sense of humour, he's a really funny guy. We know we will be doing business with him again soon :)

measured, systematic, organized, listened carefully to seller, her expectations, found a way to navigate a sale. a friendly supportive team environment.

Patrick is a delight and a polite agent. Softly spoken but get the job done a day a price that was well above expectation. Would truely sell with Patrick again as I trust him with our pride an joy Well done Patrick and thank you again for making our dreams come reality

Patrick was fantastic to deal with. He is kind and approachable. Very clear in his communication and kept us informed at every step of the process. He gave us great advice on preparing the property for market and we ended up in a multi-offer after the first open home and were very happy with the outcome. Truly Amazing!!! If your thinking of Selling your house, I would highly recommend Patrick Gao as an agent.

Patrick is a Magician. He has really nice sense of humor and marvelous customer service skills. He gives what he tells you. Very easy way to dealing with him. Above the expectation. Keep it up Patrick and thank you and your hard working Team.

Patricks manner shows a balance of enthusiasm, energy and professionalism! He is an excellent communicator and utilises sms, phone and email to keep you informed of the progress towards selling your home. If a helpful, informative service is one of your priorities then I can recommend Patrick Gao

Patrick has been attentive and very accommodating. He will give you the best information and if he does not know, will find out and come back to you quickly. Been great dealing with him!

From the minute I met Patrick in the First National Rotorua office, through to the house being SOLD, I was very impressed with his knowledge, professional honest approach and thoroughness with all aspects related to the marketing, communication and aiming to get the best result he possibly could. His dedication and time he put into working my property and following up buyers was outstanding and gave me the happy result I was hoping for. Highly recommend Patrick as an awesome agent to list your property with. He deserves every success in this career.
