Kathryn comes over as professional and up with the play. I found her helpful in her suggestions of getting the house to market. She was also very helpful when a problem arose regarding the cladding of the house. She had many viewers and the feedback was always sensitively given.
It was a delight to work with Niki and Elain during this process. They kept us well informed and Niki gave great advice on how to manage different stages. Lovely to work with and I would highly recommend her.
As first home buyers Kathryn made us feel so valued and heard. She stepped us through all the unfamiliar and confusing steps, super responsive to us and such a positive nature! We dealt with maybe five other REAs and Kathryn was miles above with the way she treated us, taught us things and supported us. If we ever need to sell our whare, we would use Kathryn in a heartbeat. Ngā mihi NUI e hoa. Meikura and Pat :)
Kathryn was great, kept in touch and followed up with viewers. Lovely to deal with.
As first home buyers we had so many questions. Team Piesse was able to answer them all and provide so much support and knowledge to us. They were always checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly while also remaining professional throughout the entire process. We would not be where we are today without their service and we are incredibly grateful!!
Kathryn has been remarkable to deal with during every step of selling our home. Excellent communication, advice, and professionalism - one of the hardest working individuals in the industry. Kathryn goes over and above for her clients and genuinely cares. Highly recommend, this is an agent you can truly trust.
Gary's perseverance in a slowing market, with a difficult cross-lease shows his commitment to getting the very best for his clients. He always had open honest conversation about what was best for getting the maximum value for me, he works tirelessly.
We are repeat clients and would highly recommend Karl if you are either purchasing or selling your home. Karl kept us regularly. updated throughout our recent selling proces and gave us excellent advise which created a seamless house sale, from the first viewings we had a contract in 4 days and went unconditional in 10 days.
I am so glad I discovered Callum. Through this experience I learned that it matters who your agent is. As an out of town seller, I was able to rely on Callum to sort everything for us. Also, the staging was on point. I would 100% recommend Callum and the team to anyone in Rotorua.

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. 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. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
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.
