Very friendly and approachable Could talk and understand what was needed to do. Willing to assist in the process of packing up the house and transporting goods.
Heather has great market knowledge & is a very professional Real Estate agent. She has a calm, caring manner & is very approachable. Her expertise & clear, prompt communications made the whole process relatively stress free. Thanks Heather, you were awesome!
Pip was great to deal with, especially as an out-of-town buyer. She was very accommodating and made the process very straight forward.
Pip was an amazing real estate agent with a wealth of knowledge and experience of the current property market. Pip was friendly, communicative and very fair to us and we thank her deeply for everything she has done for us.
Great Communication, Respectful and showed urgency when required to get things over the line.
Pip knew her stuff & was realistic at the same time. Unlike some agents she listed our house for a fair price and had us sold after 4 open homes. So happy to have given a young family the chance to get onto the property ladder. Even after sale Pip is helping us to now find our forever home in a new town. Coukdn't ask for more!
Cliff worked on selling our property in a very quick turnaround. He was responsive to our initial enquiry – listened to what we thought – and kept us well informed on what was happening all through the process. Can’t tell you how pleased we were to get the call – it’s unconditional. Professional, helpful, attentive and a good communicator.
We were travelling, new to the area, and despite being 'on-the-road', Cliff was very helpful in guiding us through the process. He is attentive and communicative, and nothing is too difficult. Cliff made it all happen for us, and we are grateful for his professionalism.
Pip was great - very helpful the sales was for my elderly father and Pip was really flexible and sorted things that were hard to do from out of town. She gave practical advice and explained everything to Dad. It was a very positive experience
Pip was great to deal with. Enthusiastic realistic and down to earth. Really liked her honest opinions

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. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
