Great. Thanks No pressure to change things
We had a great experience working with Haylee From start to finish, her communication was outstanding and she kept us informed every step of the way, making the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions, kept everyone in the loop, and made what could have been a complicated experience feel easy. We appreciated her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care throughout the journey. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for making this exciting chapter such a positive experience for us and understanding the logistics and busyness of a family with young kids 🙏🏽
Very efficient and strongly recommended to others

Armand Vandereik and Kim Miller from Ray White Ashburton did an outstanding job managing the sale of our commercial property. From beginning to end, the process was handled with professionalism, excellent communication, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. We felt well supported throughout and couldn't have hoped for a better agent or agency to represent us. We would recommend Armand, Kim, and the Ray White Ashburton team without hesitation.

The RateMyAgent Experience
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. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
