Lifestyle blocks are always a tricky sell, either too much land or not enough. But Mitch did a stellar job at showing the potential buyers just how cool the property was and how much it really had to offer.
Very capable, open to contact, quick to respond and friendly very knowledgeable on all aspects of the purchase, very professional always willing to go the extra mile. Great contact with the vendors and great skills negotiating.
Erin made what could have been a stressful process feel genuinely easy. We were relocating from overseas to a small town, which comes with its own uncertainty, and Erin’s support made all the difference. She was responsive, patient, and clearly cared about getting the right outcome for us, not just closing a sale. Her local knowledge and warmth helped us feel settled before we’d even arrived. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent to guide us through buying our new home, and we’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy in the Oamaru area. Thank you, Erin, for everything.

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.
