I’ll be honest — I’m not generally a fan of real estate agents and we had some disappointing experiences earlier in our house-hunting journey. We had been looking for a home for around three months before I reached out to Theo. We were recommended Theo by a friend after receiving our bank pre-approval, and we only wish we’d started working with him sooner! Theo made the whole process significantly easier. His communication was excellent, he was always quick to respond, and he was personable, approachable, and genuinely helpful. He also took on a lot of the work (calls, emails, finding listings etc), which made what can be a stressful and overwhelming process feel much more manageable. We really appreciated Theo’s support, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. Working with him completely changed our experience of house hunting, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful real estate agent.

Recently I decided to sell my property and worked with Theo to achieve a fantastic outcome. Theo's professional and friendly manner immediately put me at ease and made what can be a highly stressful process, seem straightforward and easy to follow. His regular contact kept me apprised of progress, the next steps and what these entailed allowing me to make informed decisions. I highly recommend Theo to anyone looking to sell their property or purchase one.

We were very happy with the service provided by Theo and Harcourts. Customer Service was impeccable, with timely communication at all times of the day, and a Harcourts seemed to have a good understanding of the area and the sales trends. Overall, a great experience, with some minor hiccups, however we are very happy with the final outcome and the overall service provided.

It was great to work with Theo. Throughout the process, Theo walked us through all the requirements needed at each stage, which made it less overwhelming as first home buyers. Additionally, Theo had good communication and promptly answered any concerns or questions we had. We recommend Theo for first home buyers!

Prompt responses to requests for more information. Clear communication. Knowledgeable about the house and area. A pleasure working with you.

We cannot speak highly enough of Theo Kara-Halili and the exceptional service he provided throughout the sale of our NZ property. As we live in Australia selling from overseas felt overwhelming at times. From the very beginning—even before we had formally engaged him as our agent—Theo went above and beyond to help us navigate the entire process. His professionalism, knowledge, patience, and genuine care made what could have been a very stressful experience so much easier. Theo guided us through every stage of the sale,was always available to answer questions, explain processes, and provide reassurance when things became challenging. On several occasions, he helped calm our nerves when we were feeling stressed and uncertain. What truly sets Theo apart is his willingness to do whatever is needed to help his clients. He organised contractors to prepare the property for sale and coordinated a gardener, tiler, alarm technician, and plumber to address issues identified by the purchaser. Throughout the process, he kept us fully informed and updated, giving us confidence that everything was under control despite the distance. One example that perfectly sums up Theo's dedication was when he personally purchased and installed a replacement battery for the security alarm. It may seem like a small thing, but it demonstrated his commitment to ensuring every detail was taken care of and his genuine desire to help. Theo is not only an outstanding real estate professional but also a caring and trustworthy person who consistently goes well beyond what could reasonably be expected. We always felt that he had our best interests at heart and that nothing was ever too much trouble. We are incredibly grateful for everything Theo did for us and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell property. He is a true gem, and we feel very fortunate to have had him as our agent. Thank you for your dedication, kindness, and exceptional service Theo.

Theo was helpful and professional in looking into our first home here in NZ. He answered all our questions and guided us through every step in buying our house. Highly recommended!

Theo made buying my first home an amazing experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and guided me through every step, always keeping me informed. I highly recommend Theo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled real estate agent!

Theo is a capable person and he has all the knowledge of marketing. He is the best.

As a first-time home buyer, I was naturally nervous about navigating the process—but Theo made it incredibly easy and enjoyable from start to finish. His communication was clear and consistent, always keeping me informed and answering every question with patience and expertise. He took the time to educate me on each step, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the journey. Theo was also always available and responsive, making me feel supported at every turn. His dedication and professionalism truly set him apart. I’m so grateful for his help and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home—especially fellow first-time buyers. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and exciting.

Theo is the kind of agent every buyer and seller hopes to work with—hardworking, honest, and genuinely committed to his clients' best interests. What truly sets Theo apart is his integrity. When he made an error with the chattels list, he didn't make excuses or deflect blame. He immediately took full responsibility and compensated the buyers without hesitation. That kind of accountability is rare and speaks volumes about his character. His dedication goes well beyond the typical agent-client relationship. When there was a theft at a neighbouring property and I couldn't get there to check on my completed project, Theo didn't hesitate—he went straight over to ensure everything was secure and intact. Knowing I had someone I could trust to look after my interests gave me tremendous peace of mind. Even the small details matter to Theo. During an open home, he noticed cat droppings on the lawn and quietly cleaned it up himself to ensure the property was presented professionally. Most agents would have overlooked it or left it for someone else to do and I was around, but Theo takes pride in his work and it shows. If you're looking for an agent who combines professionalism with genuine care, I can't recommend Theo highly enough.

Theo is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. You can always feel confident knowing everything is in his hands. He is calm, professional, and has an excellent understanding of the market. He works tirelessly for his clients. From the very beginning, he created a tailored marketing plan and carried it through to the very end. He even visited neighbours and knocked on doors to generate leads and potential offers. If you’re looking for the right agent to sell your home, Theo is the one you can trust.
