Andrea helped us sell our house in just over a month and achieved the price we needed to move on to our next chapter. Her knowledge, communication, and strong negotiation skills helped us achieve a great price despite a tough market. From the very beginning, she made the entire selling process easy and kept us informed every step of the way. She was approachable, responsive, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We decided to get an appraisal in December just before the crazy Christmas period. Despite this Andrea confirmed she was available the next day. Andrea had potential buyers through almost a week later. In the new year we went under contract after only a couple of viewings. In mid February settlement was completed successfully. If it wasn’t for Andrea this wouldn’t have happened so quickly! Andrea is such a dedicated and hardworking real estate agent who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. We loved her positive vibe and energy! We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. A massive thank you, Andrea, for making the whole experience so positive and for helping us achieve our goals! 🩷
Kara provided many strategic options and plans before and during our market campaign. Her team also provided extraordinary service, from organising a photographer on a sunny day (after seven consecutive days of rain), to drafting S&P agreement, and following up with my solicitor (who doesn't usually respond to all emails). She also shared lots of useful contacts from cleaners, handymen, builders, solicitors, estimators, and rental managers. She prepared and presented lots of comparable transactions before and during the marketing campaign. The informative information and resources helped me to make an informed decision throughout the sale process. Kara is also a talented "Marie Kondo" in Rotorua who can help you to declutter and get rid of stuff before a sale. I highly recommend dropping her an email to have a chat, even if you are just considering selling, renting out your property, or evaluating your options for your existing home and investment properties.
Very happy with their expertise and professionalism.
Quick to responded, informative, a very open and welcoming aura felt very comfortable with Veena, her knowledge was impeccable, All round an amazing person.
Great communicator always quick to respond and happy to chat anytime I had questions. Amelia was genuinely down-to-earth and honest throughout the whole process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Thank you for looking after me so well, Amelia!
Amelia kept me well informed throughout the sale of my property. Her experience and knowledge of the property industry was well received, making the entire process a smooth progression from the start, to the closing of the sale of my property. Once again, thank you Amelia for your efforts.
No changes or challenges were too much for Karl. I got injury half way through the conditional period and he was accommodating with different appointments. A seem-less purchase.
Karl is a great communicator. He is always available when you need his help.
She kept me informed and worked tirelessly. She cared about my property and my expectations. Suzie made herself available promptly when I had enquires and open homes on weekends were never an issue. I am very pleased with the service provded.
Suzie was excellent. 10/10. Knowledgeable. Clear communication both face to face and via text and email. Followed up my queries promptly. Excellent. Had done my homework on line in the weeks beforehand. Sold my Napier house one day. Bought my Rotorua house two days later. All went smoothly. I will be giving her a quality Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc and a copy of my travel book.

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.
