Martin made this whole process that is usually stressful, very easy for us. He was easy to get in touch with when needed and very prompt and professional. He really made a dream come through! We would highly recommend.
When I knew we would need to sell my parents house after my mother’s death there was only one number I called - and that was Martin Good. Martin had sold a property for us a few years ago and once again his care, support, sense of humour and professionalism did not disappoint. We highly recommend Martin to anyone thinking about selling their property - you won’t find a better agent in Napier in our opinion.
Communicated very well was helpful throughout the process highly recommend 👍

Janine was amazing from the start of our journey, right through to the end. She understood our needs, helped us where needed and was extremely friendly and professional. She knew what she was talking about and if she didn’t know something, she would find out. Would highly recommend using Janine to anyone.
Selling a house that’s been home for more than 25 years is a pretty big deal, and Sam really got that from the start. She understood that it wasn’t just a property to us, it was a place full of memories, and she handled the whole process with a lot of care and respect. What stood out most was Sam’s communication. She kept us in the loop the whole way through, was always upfront and honest about what was happening in the market, and never sugar-coated things just to make us feel better. That honesty actually made the whole experience a lot easier because we always knew where we stood. Sam also balanced professionalism with being genuinely easy to work with. She gave clear advice when we needed it, listened when we had questions, and made what could have been a pretty stressful process feel manageable. If you’re looking for an agent who understands the emotional side of selling a long-time home, communicates well, and keeps things straightforward and real, I’d happily recommend Sam.

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.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility.
