Communication constant and we were guided through the process with quiet efficiency. The maze of requirements became easily managed. Marketing skills second to none
This was our first time selling. We opted for a quiet listing and they guided us through every step. Great communication, really supportive, and we got a great outcome. They made a new process very straightforward.
Jemima and her team was fantastic. Selling and buying our home was all new to us, and they made it so much smoother. Communication was clear and prompt, and they helped us through every part of the process. Nothing was too much trouble. If you want agents who actually guide you and keep you in the loop, go with them.
We highly recommend the agents who sold our rental property. They were committed, thorough, and kept us fully informed throughout the entire process. They were never pushy, and while they provided clear options and helpful advice, the final decisions were always left to us. Their professionalism, communication, and support made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.
Julian and Hannah were amazing to deal with for our auction. They were very thorough, reliable and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend Team Blanchard!! Thanks Julian and Hannah :)
From the get go Hannah was great to deal with. Honest, responsive, flexible with her time. She sat with me at the auction and helped me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Thanks Hannah!
I have been dealing with Team Kartolo for my whole purchasing experience. Even houses I viewed and didn't vibe to, the team was friendly and knowledgeable. My purchase went through with Jemima and I CANNOT tell you how INCREDIBLE she is. She was professional and courteous from the moment I met her. She gave me all the updates and helped me navigate the journey as this is my first experience. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to her as her patience made me feel so welcomed even with all my questions and multiple viewings. Thank you 😊
We dealt predominately with Jemima, she was a fantastic support throughout this whole process. We had never bought via an auction and although the nerves were high Jemima was a very calm and settling presence. Her relationship and rapport with the vendor allowed us to ask a million questions and have them all answered very promptly. This was a very smooth process for us and we are fortunate enough to buy our dream house
Very professional. Friendly.
This is the second time we've worked with Jemima, Jeremy and Team Kartolo and once again they’ve been fantastic to work with. Their communication was outstanding and we always knew what was happening and felt well informed. When an unexpected challenge arose they were quick to step in, offer practical guidance, and do everything they could to help. Their professionalism, genuine care, and willingness to go the extra mile gave us complete confidence. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.

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.
