Kerry was overseas when I initially connected with Bayleys, and I was fortunate to sign up with the help of her very capable and qualified realtor assistant Jo. Kerry is obviously very good at her job, to the point that she is a very busy and in demand realtor. Jo was a constant for me during the 10 month period my house was on the market. I had more comms with Jo because Kerry was very busy, and more often than not, Jo ran many of my open homes (and there were many over the 10 months!). I am very grateful to Jo & Kerry for the support and guidance they gave me, and for their patience while we traversed this path. I may not have sold my house for what I wanted, but after so long on the market, it all came together at the end as hoped. Thanks so much to Jo, Kerry and the team at Bayleys Gisborne.
Jenny was endlessly patient and such a great listener. We had some vigorous discussions but she was always professional, clear in sharing information and exceptional at answering my many questions. Her reports after the open homes were informative, timely and always positive. She is a master of organisation and kept track of all the many strands of this process. I didn't have to do a thing......it was all very confidently and capably organised by Jenny. Stress free..... Open homes were very well attended and my home was always in good hands. And she found buyers who were qualified to purchase and keen and kept them informed, updated and answered all their queries in consultation with me. On auction day Jenny was incisive and very proactive. She acted on all the scenarios we had discussed prior to auction and achieved the perfect result for me. To be honest, the process of selling my house was very challenging, but Jenny retained her calm, her sense of humour and her very personal and open communication to the fall of the hammer. Well done Jenny - you were amazing and I will be forever grateful for your intelligence and above all your kindness and courtesy. Kia Kaha Virginia
Made selling our home stress free for us both especially after each open home by providing feedbacks from "potential" buyers.
Shannon was amazing to work with when purchasing our first home. She was professional, supportive, and always available to answer our questions. Her guidance made the process much smoother and less stressful. We are grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a property. Thank you, Shannon!
My wife and I had been looking for our first home for over a year, with a bunch of failed offers. Karyn and Shannon help us when new homes came up to try help us find the one. They were both kind, personable and professional, and easy to liaise with if we had any questions. Thank you so much team!

Andrew was fantastic. He provided great insights and background and made the processes effortless. I'd highly recommend to anyone.
We found Jenny very good at keeping us informed and realistic about the current market.
As a first-home buyer, I was completely out of my depth, but Shannon made the entire process feel easy and manageable. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, always patient with my many questions and happy to explain things along the way. Her communication was outstanding throughout the whole journey, keeping me informed and reassured every step of the way. I genuinely felt supported from start to finish and couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help me purchase my first home. I would highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking to buy or sell property.
Bronwyn and her colleague, Sabrina, were very responsive to all queries and went above and beyond to provide all necessary information.
Aiden went the extra mile for us again and again in the selling of our house; pursuing leads with clear communication. Aiden worked tirelessly to see that we got a quick sale within the price region that we had hoped for . Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a quick and easy sale of their 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.
