Mitchell was punctual, professional and yet brought a great sense of humour to the table. He obtained a pleasing result for us in a short amount of time.
Stephen and team were very easy to deal with. They were professional at all times but relaxed and obliging. Stephen was clear in his communication and advice but equally flexible when accommodating our wishes. Together we achieved a fantastic result and we would not hesitate to work together again.
Both demonstrated good market knowledge, and were competent and friendly throughout the sales process. They communicated well, gave good advice, and overall, provided an excellent service.
Its been great dealing with Wayne for the purchase of our new section in Kakanui. Wayne has been upfront and honest and not pushy through the whole process. He put the sale together, so it was very smooth for us with great communication. As an out-of-town client I felt reassured throughout the process. I would highly recommend Wayne for anyone wanting to sell or purchase real-estate, I will certainly keep his number for future reference.
Guided us all the way with insightful ideas and knowledge
We felt confident to just let her do her job. Great communication and good at negotiation. Would highly recommend.
Every question we asked Jan knew the answer or came back with the answer promptly. We probably put more pressure on her than most buyers but Jan was very patient with us and all the Kakanui quirks. Thank you so much Jan
Very professional. Excellent communication and regular updates regarding interest. Completely hassle free and sold before deadline date. Couldn’t ask for more.
My experience working with Stephen to sell my home was brilliant. I was impressed with Stephen’s knowledge of the market and felt confident with the advice he gave us when marketing our property. Throughout the whole process I felt Stephen and his team’s conduct was always professional, courteous and reassuring. Stephen’s prompt and clear communication meant I felt confident and well informed throughout the entire process. This reinforced to me I definitely had the best person working with me to sell my home.

When selling my house with Leona I found her very professional, efficient, and helpful with all of my questions, she thoroughly explained everything in detail to me so I understood. I felt at ease having Leona as my salesperson. She made the whole process so much easier with her knowledge and she definitely goes above and beyond for her clients. Without doubt I highly recommend Leona to sell your property!

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.
