We aren't local to Neson, so found Marine really helpful in building our understanding of all aspects of the property in the weeks before we could view it in person. We could only visit for a weekend and she went out of her way to allow us to have extra viewings so we could experience it at different times of day. She has always been available to step us through the buying process, liaising with the vendor promptly on our behalf. I'm very happy to recommend her as I rarely see such good customer service these days.
Selling a home with external complications is never easy, but Sophie and Jonathan handled our 9-month listing with absolute professionalism. Despite unique neighborhood challenges that made it a difficult sell, they remained deeply committed, adaptively shifting marketing strategies to find the right buyer. Their communication was excellent, keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. We are incredibly thankful for their dedication and highly recommend their services to anyone looking to sell their property.

Sophie was amazing throughout our entire home-buying journey. She was always friendly, easy to communicate with, and responded quickly to every question. She consistently followed up with the vendors and kept us updated at every step. Her communication and professionalism made the whole process so much easier and stress-free. We highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!
"Dealing with Phil and Liz are such a delight! They are honest and straight up with their dealings with their client. They are such a good team!"
Marine was professional, approachable and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication was excellent, keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. We would happily recommend Marine to anyone looking for a friendly, professional and dedicated agent. Thank you, Marine, for making the entire experience such a positive one!
The experience of selling our home with Wyatt has been very positive. We appreciated the honest, calm approach- he made the experience feel relaxed and easy. He has been so helpful and willing to share his knowledge to help during the entire selling and buying process. He went above and beyond to give us guidance. Wyatt was very easy to work with and we are happy with our choice to list with him
Regular followup and even after the listing was lost to another agent.
Roei and his team were fully committed throughout the whole marketing process. They never gave up.

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.
