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!

We thought we might meet with a few agents initially but once we met Rodger we decided not to bother with anyone else. He was knowledgeable about the market, had potential buyers straight away and a couple of good sales plans from which we decided in collaboration with his knowledge what would be the best plan for us. Rodger is a person who goes above and beyond for his clients. Our sale was an extremely fast one and he worked late into the night and over the weekend getting the contract paperwork all completed, as well as other days aiding us with other required paperwork and he remained involved and supportive when additional things cropped up much later.

When we were getting the nerve up to sell our home, we had several agents come to pitch their sale to us. We had pitches from the agents that sold us the home, current suburb superstar agents and a few we had heard good things about. There was also this guy that kept putting his flyer in our letterbox… The flyer guy's name is Roger van Kempen, and as soon as he walked in the door it was clearly obvious to us that he was the agent we wanted to sell our home. He is very passionate about selling, and it became very clear that achieving the finest “sale experience” was paramount to Roger. Even so to the point that he water blasted our fence one Sunday afternoon! We received a price for our home that totally blew us away! No other way to put it! Our minimums were smashed on day 1, and we were all sold after 8 days on the market. Roger, Ashley and the team were definitely the best people to sell our home for us. They came to us with a banger strategy, targeting strategic anomalies in the market at that current time, resulting in big smiles for everyone! We’ve only ever sold one home now (very recently). If the opportunity arises that we get to sell another home one day, Roger will definitely be the first call we make to sell for us. We cannot recommend him and his team highly enough.

Rodger worked tirelessly to sell our property in a tough market and under tough covid conditions and we couldn't have been happier with the result. Thanks again Rodger..!!

This is the first time I have ever gone through the house sale process and Rodger put me completely at ease with the whole thing. From the very beginning he kept me updated and made me feel comfortable. It is evident that this is not just a job for Rodger he truly cares for the people he is helping. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he went above and beyond for me and my family even offering himself to help us around the house. I am truly grateful to him and his team for everything they did. Rodger is excellent at what he does and he puts his entire self into it. I would recommend him 100% as someone that truly wants the best for you and doesn't see you as just another number.

Rodger took all the hassle out of selling for our family. We found that no question was too silly, and no enquiry to hard to solve for Rodger. As we were novices this was very important to us. I would highly recommend Rodger to others!
