Rodger van Kempen

Rodger's knowledge of the New Zealand housing market in general, and the North Shore market specifically is excellent. Rodger was very good at providing us with the information we needed to make the various decisions around marketing and selling our house so we would come out with the best results in the current market. I found Rodger came across relaxed but very professionally, he is obviously very comfortable working with people and getting his thoughts across. I felt he talked to us in a way we could understand without being condescending given our lack of experience with respect to selling our property. Rodger respected our ideas and plans, and was able to guide us through these, ensuring the requirements for a successful sale were met at the same time as our ideas were fulfilled. Rodger's knowledge around house maintenance and ability to help with preparing the house were also of great value to us.

Rodger van Kempen and his team provided us a superb service, from initial discussions, through looking at market conditions and presentation options, to well run direct marketing, advertising, seamless open homes, and astute negotiations culminating in final advice leading to a successful sale. Harcourts bring a great reputation and presence in the area, and Rodger added an ensemble of supporting staff and connections to maintenance and building contractors that, together, allowed us to achieve the results we wanted in the timeframe we wanted. It felt like everyone chipped in and played a part - it wasn't just Rodger, it was the entire team behind him! On top of Harcourts reputation, Rodger brought in depth local knowledge of the area, built up from extensive experience in the real estate market in our area. He variously provided examples from other marketing and sales in the area, provided us insight into his perspectives, and gave us a reasonable view of the options and ways forward where we faced choices. Adding to his highly professional presentation and manner, he brought his honest appraisal and opinion to bear, adjusting his communication style and level of detail depending on the situation and our different needs - to reassure concerns and resolve uncertainties as much as could be expected. In a very professional manner, Rodger kept us updated, provided guidance and reassurance, and ultimately took care of us, and our sale. This resulted in as relaxed a process as you could expect - we have Rodger and his extended team to thank. Great job Rodger, thanks for all your hard work.

Rodger van Kempen and his team provided us with a superb sales experience, going above and beyond to help us reach our goals. Rodger is very passionate about helping link vendors and buyers and very knowledgeable about the current market. Nothing was too much trouble for Rodger. Through his own efforts and his contacts, he helped us with our house maintenance before we were ready to list the house. Rodger put together a great marketing package for our sale and he kept us updated all the way through the process. We had a great result with three offers on the table in the end, one of which we accepted. If you want professionalism, positivity, and great results, we thoroughly recommend Rodger van Kempen. What an outstanding effort, and a result we were very pleased with. We cannot recommend Rodger and his team highly enough.

Rodger's communication and knowledge was second-to-none. He has a real personal touch, listened to everything we said and answered all our questions. Rodger knows what he's doing. Thanks for making a stressful activity manageable.

Rodger and team done a great job selling our property even whilst the market was starting to slow down. Rodger was open and honest throughout the whole process, providing regular updates of how things were going.

Rodger was warm and easy to work with. He made us feel at home as soon as we walked through the doors on our first open home. He was clear, concise, and made us feel calm through the purchase process. Thank you Rodger!
