If you rate receiving honest, thoughtful and timely communication when selling your home, then look no further because Team Robb will deliver. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of experience and intuition they brought to the process and we got the outcome we were hoping.
Julie and her team displayed the highest standards of service, advice and integrity in selling my investment property. Advising on preparations to be done as well as communicating with the tenant at all times with consideration and respect allowed me to relax knowing the high standards I expect from my agents were being exceeded. Julie and Kelly ensured each part of the pre-sale, marketing and conditional period was handled in a timely and professional manner. Consider this team THE agents to hire in the Matamata real estate market.
This is my third house sale using Nathan and Michelle. On all three occasions, they've provided great advice on pricing and marketing, and property market insights. Communication is clear and consistent, they're super friendly, responsive to questions, and make the sale process super easy. Shout out to Holly, their PA, as well. An awesome team.
Both Karl and Kate are super amazing to deal with. They helped us put the deal together and even helped us get some furniture. You are are the best. Thank you so much.
From the outset, a very positive approach in a hard market. The work ethic was continually present, trying to get the dwelling sold. I can only give my best recommendation to this group of people,who have had our best interests at heart.

Craig appears to have a good vison of what home suits different individuals. Knowing Craig, i had no hesitation in using Team Yvenna and Craig to market my home. Professional in their work having been in the game for a long period of time. On two occasion visiting at night to explain things rather than over the phone. Was given good advice when negotiating for a no fuss outcome. Thanks Team Yvenna and Craig from Lodge Real Estate.

Jenny was very professional in all our dealings with her selling my property and she would search out boundary and driveway titles if they were uncertain. She was great for selling country properties as a country girl herself she would say, and gave good advice on water tanks and roofing problems we had. Jenny always communicated with us any buyer concerns as well. We would definitely recommend her to anyone selling their property.

We had an outstanding experience working with Yvenna and her team (Team Yvenna & Craig) in selling our investment property. Having dealt with several real estate agents in the past, we can confidently say that this team stands out as one of the most professional and capable we have ever worked with. Their performance throughout this process has been nothing short of exceptional. What impressed us most was their strategic approach from day one. As soon as the property became vacant, the team immediately began planning and executing a clear marketing and sales strategy. Despite the uncertainty in the current market — including global instability and rising fuel costs — they remained confident, proactive, and highly organised. Within just three weeks of going to market, the property was successfully sold at auction on the first attempt, achieving a result we were very happy with. Equally impressive was how accurate the initial price appraisal was, which gave us confidence right from the beginning. Throughout the campaign, communication was excellent, and every stage was handled with precision and professionalism. The team provided clear guidance, managed all details seamlessly, and ensured we were well-informed and comfortable with each decision along the way. Selling property can easily become stressful, especially in a challenging market, but Yvenna and her team turned it into a smooth and well-managed process. We look forward to completing settlement, and we would have no hesitation in recommending Team Yvenna & Craig to anyone looking for a results-driven, reliable, and top-tier real estate team.
Brad always answered my calls, all 150+ of my questions and always had my best interest at heart. He was always welcoming, and checked up on me to make sure all was going well.
