Rika has such an approachable, caring, calm and support communication style - which really made us for relaxed and supported during a tough and emotional time - especially in such a challenging market.She has a genuine people-first approach and was so flexible and went above and beyond on many occasions during the selling process. She is also very proactive and provided us with consistent weekly check-ins, vendor reports and regular updates via our group chat, which really helped keep us up to date at all times and made us feel heard and Her knowledge of the market and area around us, as well as the auction environment was exceptional, she really explained everything so well and ensured that we met with the auctioneer prior to our auction.We were extremely happy with Rika through the journey and with our exceptional result and would highly recommend her.

An exceptional agent :)

We had the pleasure of working with Rika to both purchase our new home and sell our existing property, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Rika made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. When it came to selling our property, everything was handled in a timely, organised, and professional manner. Rika did an outstanding job of balancing our price expectations with the realities of the current market, providing honest and practical advice while always keeping our goals in mind. We felt comfortable and confident throughout the process because we knew she was genuinely working to achieve the best possible outcome for us. Her communication throughout was outstanding, she kept us informed at every stage and was always available to answer our questions. What sets Rika apart is her relationship-based approach. She genuinely cares about her clients and understands that buying and selling a home is more than just a transaction. Selling a home is a very personal experience, and Rika genuinely took the time to understand our needs and priorities. Her positivity, reliability, and professionalism gave us confidence throughout the entire journey. We highly recommend Rika to anyone thinking about buying or selling a property. Her expertise, dedication, and commitment to achieving the best outcome for her clients make her an exceptional real estate agent.

Professional, knowledgeable and personable.

Rika helped us buy our first home in New Zealand and guided us through the entire process with ease. As first-time buyers in New Zealand, we had lots of questions and uncertainty, but Rika was always patient, knowledgeable, and her communication was excellent. She made everything feel straightforward and stress-free, clearly explaining each step, making sure we were comfortable throughout. Her professionalism, honesty, and warm approach gave us real confidence in our decisions. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
