Davinia was very helpful with preparing the listing, and with the computer issues we had and also with organising the staging of the house. She was always very professional and she made the whole process very easy. It was a pleasure to work with her.
Caleb and the team were professional and approachable throughout the sale of our property. He has good knowledge of the Christchurch market and provided helpful advice during the process. We appreciated the work he and his team put into achieving the sale.

Our experience with Melissa and Mark has been very positive; consistently professional, sound market knowledge, excellent communication skills, empathetic listening, attention to detail. The sensitivity shown towards a tenant in situ ensured full co- operation and attention to detail was evident. G and H.

It was my first time selling a house and Shady and the Attia Real Estate team made the whole process stress-free and easy. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable and responsive every step of the way. It was such a comfort knowing I had someone trustworthy in my corner who also delivered the outcome I hoped for.
I’ve sold a number of houses and this was by far the best sales process to date. I put this down to Flynn’s great communication and his willingness to go the extra mile for his clients. I can attest that he worked very hard for us and the end result was a quick sale at a very good price. The result exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Flynn to any sellers who want a great result and along the way dealing with a great human being.
She was attentive, regular updates and communication, comfortable to work with and helpful with advice and expectations.
I have dealt with many real estate agents when looking for a home over the past 3 years and Debbie stands above the rest. Debbie had strong answers for all of my concerns about buying our new house and kept up communication in the week before the auction, which built momentum for the auction. She responded quickly and effectively to feedback about the house and provided solutions readily. Although Debbie was hired by the seller, she ended up being the perfect agent for us to deal with and that's why I have asked her to sell our house. I strongly believe that the sellers chose extremely well and that they can have 100% confidence in her efforts. Debbie provided us with a plan at each step and that really helped. I didn't know I needed Debbie's help until I got it - she has helped to get us unstuck.

Armand was always a pleasure to deal with. We felt he acted with genuine integrity, both in his dealings with us and in his communication with the buyer. As we were selling the property from out of town, his willingness to go above and beyond made the whole process much easier.There were a few repairs that needed to be taken care of along the way, and Armand was always quick to offer helpful suggestions for reliable tradespeople who could assist. Everyone he recommended was great to deal with and very reasonably priced.We really appreciated Armand’s professionalism, honesty and willingness to help throughout the entire process, and we would happily recommend him to others.

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.
