Clarence was very quick to respond to questions and in a very professional manner. He is always very smartly dressed and very polite. He arranged many open homes and managed the negotiations to complete the sale for us. His lovely bunch of flowers is still blooming.
Mary and the team were exceptional in the sale of our house. Her experience and knowledge were invaluable, she always had thoughtful advice, practical solutions and great contacts for anything we needed to resolve. We were very grateful for how hard she worked right up to the last minute, in particular on a tricky last minute issue. Her dedication there resulted in a better outcome for us, and we definitely know she was working in our best interests at all times and she didn’t ease up when others might have. We are very grateful for Mary’s dedication, professionalism, and support and would highly recommend her.
Danean knows her stuff, shes passionate and gets right stuck into the thick of it all. She makes sure all aspects are covered throughout with detailed explanations. She strives to make sure her clients are well looked after and at ease when making big decisions. I very much enjoyed working with Danean, she asked me a few questions and turned my answers into the physical and was there from the beginning right til the very end. She works extremely hard!! We had fun and got a superb result!!
Brad is highly professional, reliable, has excellent communication and has an absolute heart of gold- hard to find this day and age..... Would not hesitate to recommend him if you are thinking of selling (or buying). He will go the extra mile for you with personalised, reassuring & informed service. A+
Dhaval was always available to communicate with. He was quick to respond to messages and follow up agents/agencies for potential viewings. He made this process easy and straightforward by bearing a lot of the grunt work for us.
Kate is an exceptional professional who brings a deep, intuitive understanding of the Christchurch market to the table. From the outset, her communication was clear and transparent; she never pressured us into decisions, instead taking the time to explain the evolving plan as the campaign progressed. Her dedication was particularly evident in her approach to open homes. To maximize attendance, Kate ran multiple viewings at varied times, ensuring every potential buyer had an opportunity to see the property. She was well-supported by a capable team, which allowed the home’s features to be fully showcased during busy periods. Kate’s blend of market expertise, calm negotiation style, and genuine support made what can be a stressful process feel entirely manageable.
Always happy to work with Ada, you can tell that she loves her work. She made the process smooth and less stressful. She was efficient and sharp in actions, we loved working with her, would recommend to anyone who is looking for a passionate agent!
I approached Allen 23 years ago to help me find the house which he has now sold for me. He was recommended to me by a colleague at work. I had absolute faith that he would do the best job and had no interest in seeking out another agent. Why? He has a depth of understanding about human nature and there's nothing more personal than buying or selling a home. I could contact him at any time and he kept in contact with me. His knowledge of the contractual law concerning real estate means that he is able to advise clients of any potential pitfalls that can occur. That is particularly reassuring in what can be a stressful time preparing one's house for sale and waiting for that key offer to come and then to be confirmed. He is strongly supported by Kelly Shackleton and I think it speaks volumes that their partnership in Team Gunn has lasted 24 years. They are both caring people and absolutely down to earth. They'll tell you things straight.
Strong communication skills
Drew has a lovely positive upbeat energy. He went above and beyond to make the sale of my family home as seamless as possible. I would not hesitate to have Drew working with me again.

With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies.

Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
