Just a great experience from the start. Nothing was a bother no questions to big or to small. And some laughs along they way. Kept in touch all the way through. One of the best in this district if you are selling give her a call.
Natalie made buying our first home a seamless process, she's great at communicating with us. Helped guide us through buying since we never knew the process. 100% recommend Natalie
Was there to help and happy doing it
Daryl and Tania were great to work with when selling my house. They worked well with the tenants and had great communication throughout the open homes and sale process.
Jane is so friendly and personable! She made the process of purchasing our new home so easy, especially considering we were abroad and harder to contact. Jane had a “no worries” kind of attitude which I loved and made me feel at ease and looked after. One of the best in the bizz!
We had a great experience working with Yafei. He was professional, friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. He kept us informed, communicated clearly and was always happy to answer our questions. He made the sale of our property much easier and smoother than we expected. We really appreciate his hard work and support. Highly recommend Yafei to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!
Gavin and Bel were organised and easy to deal with from start to finish when they sold our Hāwea section. They kept everything on track and made the whole process simple for us working from a distance. We'd happily recommend them!
Toni and Reagan, were amazing to deal with, they responded quickly to any questions we had, providing tips and suggestions which made selling our property making it so much easier for us. They have a huge wealth of knowledge and work so well together supporting each other along with getting to know us the sellers so well that we felt so relatable to them

We couldn’t recommend Matt and Michelle more highly enough! They are a pleasure to deal with, professional, fantastic communicators, reliable and hard working. If you’re looking for an agent in QT, don’t look anywhere else!!
Anna Findlay did an amazing job of selling our home. She has a wealth of real estate experience and local market knowledge. Very professional while also being friendly and approachable, she kept us well informed the whole way through. Anna has an easy, calm style and we felt like our home was in good hands. I loved that she even sorted someone to mow the lawns and a couple of outdoor pots to lift the entrance way. We have now bought and sold through Anna and both experiences have been fantastic, we couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Anna!

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.
