From the moment we spoke about the property, Mimi was very helpful and was able to answer all my questions. She made it very easy to work with the developer and was great in finding out some of the building details. We are very happy with the service we received from her and look forward to working with her next time we need a property.
We received experienced, thoughtful advice throughout the campaign and felt confident following their guidance. Their excellent market and marketing knowledge gave us real confidence in the process. Every question was answered, and we were kept well informed with regular feedback. Their calm reassurance and positive approach kept us going, and the campaign exceeded everyone's expectations. It was fantastic having such a supportive team behind us; we genuinely felt we were all in it together. We couldn't have asked for a better team and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.
Natalie was always available to call when we had queries. She communicated well and made the process easy.

Glen put me at ease as soon as I met him. He is very knowledgeable in his field and a top communicator which smoothed the journey of us purchasing a property. I would recommend Glen to anyone buying or selling a property.

Whenever we contacted Marie we got a quick reply and she was always ready to help and advise us. She went out of her way to give us plenty of options and her advice was always direct and thorough. She really understood our needs and kept the ball rolling whenever we were losing momentum. She had a very good idea of the market, could summarize the pros and cons of properties and had great rapport with everyone involved. Her professionalism and efficiency were accompanied by a warm, calm and sincere attitude and we always felt comfortable with her. As we don’t have family in Christchurch we really appreciated her support and encouragement throughout our real estate journey.
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 .

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.
