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!

Ive had a limited budget but Dane and the girls helped me find an affordable home. He also helped me tremendously with contacts for building inspectors etc and guided me through what stages I had to do. He's kept me up to date and been patient with all my questions. I have been impressed by his professionalism and am very grateful for all his help.

Lynton was friendly, proffesional and knowledgeable about all aspects of selling our property and made the experience easy and straight forward
Jacks communications and sales strategies were excellent and he was always available for advice when we needed it.
Jenni was so helpful & hard working at finding us a suitable new home!!! We are a retired couple who wanted to downsize our choice of home & also wanted a pleasant & peaceful outlook after living for many years overlooking Lake Wakatipu- a hard act to follow! We also wanted proximity to shops & public transport. Jenni worked tirelessly to achieve such a property & she did it! Jenni also assisted us at the auction when we purchased. We thoroughly recommend Jenni as an agent - she is a lovely person with a great sense of humour.

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.
