We had a fantastic experience selling our home and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From start to finish, the communication was excellent — we were always kept informed and knew exactly what was happening throughout the entire process.

Lee has been exceptional to work with. She took the time to truly understand what was important to us in our buying decision and consistently kept us ahead of the market — often arranging viewings before homes were officially listed. Her communication was always clear, timely, and proactive, and her guidance helped us feel confident at every step. The transition from one city to another wasn’t simple, and Lee showed genuine care and a real interest in making that transition as easy as possible for us. She went above and beyond — helping us secure a rental property while we continued our search and then going as far as coordinating part‑time job opportunities for our daughter. Her support made a stressful period feel manageable. When we missed out on the first property we had fallen in love with, Lee gave us a piece of advice that stayed with us: “If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” She was right. Although that loss felt tough at the time, something even more special was waiting around the corner — and that home really was meant to be. Throughout the negotiation stages, Lee was right there with us, providing expert guidance and clear direction. Her experience and calm confidence helped us navigate each step and make decisions we felt good about. As newcomers to Christchurch, Lee made us feel genuinely welcome. She suggested great dog‑friendly walks, shared local insights, and as a foodie herself, introduced us to some fantastic places to eat around the city. Her professionalism, warmth, and willingness to help in every way truly set her apart.

We found Glen very professional, friendly and easy to deal with. He was an excellent communicator and we appreciated the help he gave us with the overall move.
They explained different options to sell our home, in ways we were comfortable with. Very good at listening to any questions and the communication by phone, e-mail or text was excellent. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a caring, responsible agent look after them. Thank you Thomas .
Friendly and responsive. Didn't oversell it.
All through my journey Glen has been ready to answer any queries and attended to them promptly. Great communication and always helpful.
Scott did his best to get the answers to all my questions, including chasing up some required changes to the property. He was transparent about whether he didn't know something (but could always follow up on it), and was always happy to help when he could.
We got a house 1.5 weeks after engaging with Sam! Her understanding of the market, as well as the importance of timing made all the difference for us making a move on our home. We wouldn't have made the first move confidently without her, and we also wouldn't have got it over the line at the end without her negotiation skills. With her market knowledge she also saved us money and time by discouraging us from another house that turned out being out of budget. Thank you Sam!
We were impressed with Crieghton from the beginning. He was very personable and made us feel at ease as we started the process to sell our first home. He had brilliant communication, provided great advice and was always there to bounce ideas off. He helped us with staging advice to make sure our house was looking in tip-top shape for any potential buyers and kept us well-informed throughout the entire process. Our house only took two weeks to sell, and we believe that was due to Creighton's hard work and amazing sales skills! If we ever sell again, Creighton will be the first agent we call.
Elisa was wonderful - arranged a last minute private viewing which resulted in a swift and stress free purchase! Would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly face to either buy or sell their home!

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.

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.
