Working with Leonie has been lovely she is friendly and has great communication. She never left us in the dark and supported us throughout our first home buyers journey. We would highly recommend her as a real estate agent and hope to work with her again in the future. 😊
The team touched base after every open open home to keep us informed. I think it could have been marketed as 4 bedrooms with convertible to a study rather than a study to a bedroom. First impact 4 bedrooms. Overall a very professional team. Caleb knowledgeable in his job. Thanks

Great communication, knowledgeable and friendly. Leonie has been an exceptional agent and we are thoroughly pleased with her work.
There was no time during the sale of our home that we didnt know what was going on, their communication is so good, and they had the perfect family waiting to but this home. Every one was happy. So smooth.
Kate was great to deal with, easy to communicate with and knowledgeable on what we needed to know! We set out with a list of what we needed, viewed a number of open homes and eventually found what we needed which ticked our boxes, Kate made it happen for us and nothing was too hard! Would highly recommend Kate for your Buying and selling In Central Hawke’s Bay!

Kate recently sold our property for us and it wasn't easy, being a higher priced property. We find her to be very nice to deal with. She has honesty, integrity and diligence which are all great attributes for her profession. We have been lucky to have her as our agent and we will certainly employ her again next time we sell a house. We highly recommend her.

The RateMyAgent Experience
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. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
