Harriet helped us with buying our dream family home at the beach. She helped us imagine ourselves in the space, and also gave ideas on what we could with it in the future. Perhaps it was the house.. or perhaps she was just a little too good at her job, as we put an offer on the place the very next day! We would 100% recommend Harriet for selling or buying your next home. Thank you so much Harriet!
Sabrina was completely honest and understanding thoughout the journey. She communicated really well as the mid lady between us and the vendor and managed to make noth parties happy.
Jenny was an absolute pleasure to work with. Jenny approached us and asked if we'd like to sell as she had motivated buyers. We said we would for the right price and Jenny made it happen for both the purchasers and us. Extremely professional, level headed and a straight talker which we appreciate. Highly recommend Jenny as an agent. Thank you again Jenny !
Kerry was great to work with — attentive, fast, and very proactive. She understood that we were looking for a beachfront home and kept us in mind when properties suited to our budget and lifestyle became available. We appreciated her clear communication and efficiency throughout the process. All the best, Kerry!
Kerry has repeatedly been the top-selling real estate agent in Gisborne for a reason. Her experience, professionalism and local knowledge shines through in every aspect of her work. She took the time to really get to know us, understand our requirements and pitched the marketing of our house perfectly. It was not an easy market to sell in at the time, with few buyers around and flat prices. Despite that Kerry achieved results that surpassed our expectations. Most importantly, she demonstrated that her top priority is to ensure that everyone involved in the sale comes away happy with both the process and the outcome. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
I have worked in marketing and sales in New Zealand, America and Japan where I live now. It is significant to recognize Bronwyn Kay as one of a small group of professional people whom I respect very highly. I feel very privileged to be asked to give my feedback in this review on the sale of my property at 49 Moana Road, Okitu, Wainui Beach. Bronwyn is a true listener to a client, and not a person to push her own agenda in order to create a sale. Bronwyn has gained this reputation for Wainui Beach Sales through her ability to guide and not push a sale in a calm effective journey based on her many years of experience. I consider myself extremely fortunate to travel this sales journey with Bronwyn and cannot recommend Bronwyn highly enough for anybody who is selling or buying property. I can assure you that like me you will be extremely satisfied with Bronwyn’s professional skills. My time in Professional Corporate sales in Japan people like Bronwyn were refereed to as “eagles” as they fly well above with a view of client needs rather than their own financial rewards.

Jenny Virtue was engaged to sell my father's property and she provided a service second to none. Jenny was relaxed yet knowledgeable and efficient. There were a number of challenges we faced during the sale but these were overcome with minimal stress and she produced a fantastic outcome in a very challenging market. Jenny's communication to the family was on point, without over communicating, she efficiently provided us with the updates we needed when we needed them. Her knowledge and networking capabilities clearly assisted with the outcome and her local experience was clearly evident.
Very professional and communicated well with me and my family. Kept informed throughout the process. I was always kept in the loop and Jenny responded quickly to any question we had. Nothing seemed a problem and was refreshing to have someone who was not focused on pushing for a sale. Honest, transparent and reliable. Would recommend to anyone buying or selling.
Jenny provided exceptional support and service throughout the sale of our property. Her calm professionalism, deep understanding of the local market and outstanding interpersonal skills were instrumental in navigating a complex sale process. Acting on our behalf while we were in another city, Jenny went above and beyond managing open homes, communications and liaising with all parties involved. She tended to the smallest of details, personally assisting from the very beginning with our stager, and was also known to bring out a bucket and brush when needed. She cares. Jenny also listened and respected our wishes, gently guiding us when needed, but in a collaborative way. Her steady presence, local knowledge and commitment to excellence were critical to the successful outcome. We are sincerely grateful for her expertise and support, and recommend her without reservation.

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.
