Latest reviews in Lake Okareka
Hielke was recommended to us as a real estate agent who is straight up type of person who gets results. In turn we will certainly recommend him to other people wanting to sell their home. We thought very carefully about the real estate agent we would work with as our home of 38 years was situated in a lovely environment but has a very steep access. We are impressed with the thought that Hielke gave to the marketing strategy and his upfront and regular communication with us. He is easy to work with, provided great help with an unexpected hiccup and has a great sense of humour. We enjoyed working with him.
Tracey really helped us secure this property. She kept us well informed all the way through the process and has been very approachable and proactive. She is a pleasure to deal with!
Tracey was fantastic. It was a complicated situation and Tracey made everything feel better. She was super compassionate and caring. Nothing was a problem. I could not have asked for more and I am so glad that I chose her to sell the house.

The RateMyAgent Experience
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. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility.
