Kiah knows her shit and got a great price for her vendors. We are happy enough with our purchase, and we think the vendor is too.

Great experience working with Kiah and Blair’s team. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and kept the whole process painless from start to finish. We always felt well informed and supported, and I’m really happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend!

Raghav was very responsive to queries and it was never too much trouble to help us out with things. He was very professional and knew about the property and the area. Thank you Raghav 😊
Professional. Courteous. Willing to go out of his way. Very helpful with questions and there were a lot of questions! :-D Easy to communicate with. Very informative and supportive. Kind and friendly to me and to the people who visited the property with me. A very positive and seamless process. Would definitely recommend him to other prospective buyers and vendors.

Market knowledge and personal fit to the situation meant we were full of confidence for the auction. There's always trepidation for things new but Glenn certainly took up the challenge with a very keen sense of priority and expectations on our behalf. Given the opportunity down the line, Glenn would be our first port of call. Thankyou Ron and Karen
We felt so confident selling with Kristina and the team. Their communication was outstanding, they were completely transparent, gave us advice, and really valued the outcome we were wanting. I would recommend Kristina and the team 1000 times over. People tend to assume that selling a house can be very stressful, but I felt at ease during the whole process!

Neel was a fantastic Real Estate Agent. He went above and beyond for us, was super proactive in sending us houses we may be interested in, and then organising viewings at a time that suited us. He made the offer and pre settlement period very seamless as he kept us well informed and gave great advice around next steps and what to expect. Would absolutely recommend Neel to anyone purchasing or selling a home, he is the best!
Paula has been great to deal with and made being far away from the house location that bit easier for me. While I didn't get to meet her in person (due to my location) Paula and her team were great communicators and helped us through a really tough time. She held open homes at varying times to try and capture all prospective buyers and a quick sale of the property. I would recommend Paula and her team to take care of your real estate needs.
As a new buyer in New Zealand I found Paula very friendly and helpful. She went out of her way in keeping the house open for the initial viewing and was available when I wanted to look through again. She answered my questions fully (at least those she was allowed to answer) and was friendly throughout.

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.
