Tim and Liv used their knowledge of their local market to help us achieve an early sale at a price far higher than we had expected. Instead of giving us a high price to get the listing and then talking us down after every open home, they spoke only positively about the property and talked the interested parties up. We are thrilled with the outcome.
A calm hand on the tiller professionally steering the process in the right direction. Great pre marketing advice with the right professional contacts to execute the plan to market our property to its best advantage. Very happy Vendors.

We first interacted with Jess when we were looking to buy a section in Governors Bay back in 2021. From that single interaction as buyers, we were so impressed with her professionalism and attitude. I can't recall any other agent leaving that impression on my mind (and I've interacted with quite a few). When we told her our offer price she gave us direct feedback that it was more than what she thought her vendors would get! Her vendors at that point didn't accept our offer but I knew then and there she's an agent who plays with a straight bat and that's not an easy thing to find. So when we had to finally sell our section in Christchurch, I approached Jess directly and long story short - I can’t recommend her enough! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure the process was as smooth and stress-free as possible. She kept us informed in perfect amounts, and would not shy away from telling us to move on from buyers who were low balling or making things too complicated. Her ability to handle tricky, sometimes unexpected, questions from potential buyers —especially given that we were dealing with international buyers was fantastic. Although our final price was somewhat lower than what we expected, we were clear we wanted a sale and had to move on. I don't think we could have sold our section without Jess's hard work and guidance along the way. She's a rockstar and I am so glad we got a chance to work with her. Thank you so much for your dedication and excellent service, Jess! You have set a very high standard in my head for what a real estate agent should be like :)

We recently purchased a section through Mitch and Mana, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both were incredibly professional, helpful, and approachable throughout the entire process. They communicated clearly, answered all our questions promptly, and made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. We highly recommend Mitch and Mana to anyone looking to buy property – you’ll be in great hands!

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.
