We couldn’t recommend Team Kartolo highly enough — Jeremy, Jemima, Jorja, Mackenzie, and Sheyanne were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Our house sold within just 2 weeks of hitting the market, and the whole process was seamless thanks to their professionalism, communication, and hard work — the whole team genuinely goes above and beyond. They kept us in the loop every step of the way, were always approachable, and worked tirelessly to get the best result. Jeremy promised to get the job done - and he sure did follow through! If you’re selling in Timaru, there really is no one else to use. Thank you, Team Kartolo, for making what could have been a stressful process such a positive experience!

We recently had the pleasure of working with OJ and were extremely impressed with the service provided throughout the entire process.

We would highly recommend OJ to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and personable real estate agent. It was a pleasure working with him.

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.
