We had a great experience buying our next home. The whole process was smooth and easy, and communication was clear the whole way through. He’s got a great personality, easy to deal with, funny, and made everything feel relaxed. We’ll definitely be going back to him when we buy or sell again.
Craig is a fantastic agent. After selling our family home, we worked with Craig to find our next one, and the experience was first class. Craig and Dylan supported us throughout the entire process, especially navigating an auction, which was new to us. They are exactly the kind of people you want in your corner; professional, supportive, and great to deal with. We look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
Craig was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the local market and current trends is second to none. He kept us up to date and gave excellent advice. I would definitely recommend Craig to anyone looking to sell in Invercargill.

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.
