Laura was easy to work with and super lovely.
Rose provided all info straight away, helped with all questions I had. Definitely recommend dealing with Rose again.
Fiona really does her homework, puts a lot of effort into property appraisal and has great understanding of the market. Her communication is superb along with her professionalism. When it came to closing the deal she worked relentlessly, and was excellent working in with another agent which was a huge benefit. I would highly recommend Fiona for anyone looking to market their property to its potential.
Very helpful with all facets of the process and no pressure was exerted on us to make a quick decision.
Andrew was a dream to work with. He was very accomodating with our sale and our needs. I would recommend him to anyone
Fi has been so amazing! She sold our house really quickly in a tough market. She has great knowledge of the market and had an effective strategy. Throughout the process Fi’s communication was awesome. We were kept informed at every step, she was always prompt to respond and we always felt clear on what was happening. She was honest about expectations and didn’t over promise. Fi was professional, easy to work with and really supportive. She got the result and made the process feel manageable. We would highly recommend Fi to anyone selling in Hawke’s Bay.

Hannah is great to work with! She is honest and clear with communication and expectations. Hannah's kind and gentle approach takes all the anxiety out of the entire process of selling. Not to mention, works so hard to get the results she does!
Working with Tiana was a pleasure. Open, friendly, great communication and made us feel that she was after the best outcome for us. Would recommend her to any prospective clients.
Excellent, very helpful special for us as migrants. They guided us from the beginning until we successfully purchased it. Highly recommended.
Amy was a breath of fresh air. She has it all. The knowledge, the ambition, the commitment, the supporter, the positivity. Amy is confident and commited to getting everything you need, she is approachable and friendly which is what we are are all looking for in the real estate agent you are buying famd selling with, Whilst being having a no mess attitude. Amy is calm, expereinced and willing to go the extra mile for you. Her knowledge and pervious experiences make her a no brainer. She remained positive even when I wasn't, she listened to my thoughts, gave me positivity on all the weeks I wasnt and came through like she promised. I wouldn't hesitate in using Amy again. It was a pleasure.

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.
