Great communication through the whole purchasing process, honest, professional and super easy to contact. Made the purchase process very simple and straightforward!
We’ve known Caroline for many years, and this was the first time we’ve had the opportunity to list a property with her. Throughout that time, we’ve always found her to be highly professional, pragmatic, and full of common sense when it comes to real estate. Well before we decided to sell, Caroline took the time to visit and provide practical, no-nonsense advice on what we could improve to achieve the best possible sale price. Over the years, she’s also generously shared guidance with us even when we weren’t actively buying or selling, which speaks volumes about her approach. As a result, we had no hesitation in engaging Caroline to sell our house in Nelson. Selling in a softer market can be nerve-racking, but she was a steady hand throughout the entire process—calm, confident, and reassuring that we would achieve a strong outcome, which we did in a relatively short space of time. In our view, some vendors can become anxious if results don’t come quickly, but a good agent understands how to navigate a slower market—keeping all options open, maintaining momentum, and never losing focus. Caroline demonstrated this perfectly, working tenaciously throughout with consistent open homes and ongoing effort. We have no hesitation in recommending her.
We were so pleased to work with Caroline again, especially as we had originally bought this home through her nine years ago. She understood the journey of the house and truly appreciated the care we had taken to modernise it for our family of five, while preserving the character and purity of the original 1920s home. From our architecturally designed kitchen to the thoughtful renovations throughout, Caroline immediately saw what made the home special. Her enthusiasm was genuine, and she helped convey that x-factor to potential buyers in a way that felt authentic and warm. She was always available to answer questions, made the tender process smooth, and was very thoughtful during the sign-up stage as well. Caroline combined professionalism with real care, and we felt she helped our home shine.
Mike's communication was clear, timely and solution focused, He worked with us and with the vendor to find a way forward for all of us.
An absolute stand out, very proactive and excellent market knowledge. Marine created a marketing package that attracted a larger interest for our unique rental property. In addition she was very considerate and worked in well with our tenants with regard to viewings etc. We would highly recommend.
Great experience selling our house with Matt. Everything went smoothly. Easy to deal with, super professional, and got a great result. Would definitely recommend!
I would recommend Matt to prospective buyers and sellers alike. He was efficient and professional. I found him to be quick at following up, keeping me up to date during the process and supportive which helped make the experience effortless.
Roei is professional and passionate about what he does. Even though I was selling a commercial property and he is mostly a residential real estate agent I knew that his focus and salesmanship were what we needed. I knew that he could understand my vision and work with me to achieve my goal

We investigated our options carefully before choosing Michelle to market our Nelson property. We wanted an absolutely honest and experienced agent, who was well regarded, hard working, and committed to get the best result for us. We got all of that and more! Michelle carefully prepared our proposal , and once marketing got underway, reported progress and our options at every move. The net result was a successful, and relatively stress free sale. Thank you Michelle!
My expectations as to the value of the property were high. At the end of the day her estimate was achieved in this sale. Caroline acted in a professional manner in her handling of the marketing and sale stages. I was disappointed in the sale price but acknowledge that the market is a difficult one for vendors. I also recognise that I could (and possibly should have) passed up this offer. Sometimes it seems a balancing act. However, I believe that Caroline had my best interests at heart and did get vest for me in a difficult market. Thanks Caroline 😊🙏

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.

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.
