Seller of 29 Keswick Crescent, Huntington
Richard recently managed the sale of our family home in circumstances that were considerably more complex than a typical property transaction. The property was being sold by two vendors going through a separation, with an independent trustee also involved in the decision-making and sale process. Throughout the entire campaign, Richard demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience and empathy. He understood that communication needed to be clear, balanced and respectful to everyone involved. He remained impartial, kept each party properly informed and carefully navigated differing views without creating additional pressure or conflict. Richard was always approachable, responsive and honest. His advice was practical and well considered, and he communicated buyer feedback clearly so that informed decisions could be made. When challenges arose, he remained calm and focused on finding a sensible way forward. His ability to manage the people involved was every bit as valuable as his knowledge of the property market and the sales process. Despite the added complexity, Richard kept the campaign moving, followed up prospective buyers diligently and worked hard to achieve a successful result. We always felt that he was committed to completing the sale while still respecting the personal circumstances surrounding it. I would confidently recommend Richard to anyone selling a property, particularly where the situation requires discretion, sensitivity and skilled communication. He handled a difficult sale with integrity, professionalism and genuine care, and we are very grateful for the support he provided from beginning to end.
Seller of 12 Highview Court, Flagstaff
Selling a property from overseas could have been a stressful experience, but Richard made the entire process smooth and straightforward. He was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way, giving me complete confidence despite the distance. What really set him apart was his willingness to go above and beyond. Rather than arranging and charging for tradespeople to complete a number of minor finishing touches before settlement, he personally took care of these small completion-related matters himself. This not only saved me time and money but also demonstrated his genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for his clients. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and trustworthy real estate agent. I would highly recommend Richard and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property, particularly if you're managing the process from overseas. His professionalism, integrity, and exceptional customer service made all the difference

Melissa is incredible. She was always willing to put in hard work and hours for both buying and selling processes for us, including being always available to contact her and happy to spend time discussing complicated decisions with us. She shared her knowledge and expertise with honesty and was respectful of our decision-making. She has an eye for detail and helped us present our property in the best way, leading to a rapid sale and a great outcome.

Buyer of 286 Sandwich Road, Saint Andrews
Tej is an outstanding real estate agent. He consistently responds promptly and goes above and beyond to assist. After taking the time to understand our needs, Tej recommended a property that we absolutely love. His helpfulness, efficiency, and professionalism made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciate his support and would confidently recommend him to other buyers and sellers.
Buyer of 1/81 Storey Avenue, Forest Lake
My wife and I unreservedly recommend Tej, who has restored some of our faith in real estate agents :-) For us, honesty, a down to earth humanity, the capacity to really listen, give a considered perspective, and show character when the opportunity presents itself, are as much and even more important than many other characteristics. We so appreciated the different tone, posture and assistance given, and would happily work with him again in what so easily becomes an emotionally charged and stressful process.

Seller of 53 Great South Road, Taupiri
I had no reservation in giving Jason from Lodge Real Estate the listing to sell my property after meeting with him and seeing that he had experience and good knowledge of the market value. From the beginning he was professional in his appraisal of the property and I found him to be very respectful and honest with his dealings with me and the prospective buyers. The outcome was a successful, pleasant and stress free experience, so I have no hesitation in recommending both Jason and Lodge Real Estate to anyone who are looking to sell their property.
Seller of 4 Craig Place, Fairview Downs
I found on Jason the honesty, knowledge, experience, attention to detail, care for customer and interest on my business. Jason really supports his clients and makes them feel confident during the whole process. He was reachable in the times when the process of buy and sale my property (He supported me twice !) was progressing and I had questions about milestones, timelines, requirements, etc. Jason stands out from the crowd for his personal and professional qualities. With Jason you are in the best hands. I am very thankful for meeting Jason and for seeing his great work done. I fully recommend Jason to anyone who wants to sale or buy a property.
