experience and low key approach appreciated
Good knowledge of local real estate market. Helpful and realistic about sale and determining how house would sell at this time
Working with Lily Zhang to sell my property was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Her communication style is excellent—she kept us updated at every step of the process and was always highly responsive to our questions. Lily demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market, and her strong negotiation skills helped ensure a smooth and successful sale. We highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a dedicated, highly professional real estate agent.
Lily was very responsive in answering my questions and during negotiation.
Alex demonstrates a great ability to understand my critical drivers which are reflected in his suggestions, actions and delivery. Through these actions I am able to rely on a collaborative approach to sales which reduces unnecessary back-and-forth actions enabling both of us to concentrate on what matters. Alex works hard to deliver the best possible results for me which is challenging in our current market. I would recommend his service to a broad demographic - from larger scale development sell downs through to one off purchases or sales.
Professional, deep knowledge of th elocal market and brilliant stratedge. Good result.
Charise and Scott make a great team. We were trying to sell my elderly mother's property from the Manawatu, while she was still living in the house. Charise made Mum feel very comfortable as this was quite a stressful time for her. Our dealings with Charise were prompt. The information she provided was informative. Thanks Charise for easing Mum's concerns, for that we are very grateful.
From the first contact we were put at ease. We were selling my mother's property, who is elderly, and Scott was very professional and respectful. We were trying to sell this property from the Manawatu, with my mother still residing in the house which to us was a daunting prospect. Scott allayed any fears we might have had, by the end of the first zoom call. His communication was outstanding. He kept us informed the whole way through , as well as my mother. The highest kudos that we could give Scott, is that we would have no hesitation in engaging him again as a real estate agent. Five star effort Scott. Thank you so very much.

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.
