Kale was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process. He was personable, reliable, and always quick to respond to our messages and phone calls. Unlike several other agents we contacted in Tauranga, who either didn't respond or made us feel like we were an inconvenience, Kale was approachable, attentive, and genuinely interested in helping us. Buying a property from out of town without seeing it in person could have been stressful, but Kale made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. He delivered on everything he promised, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and responsive agent.
Sue and Jack made the whole process easy, were always happy to answer any questions, and were very accommodating in organising viewings. They were a pleasure to deal with, and communication was excellent throughout.
Communication was excellent, their professionalism and expertise was first class and they achieved the result (sale) in a very hard sellers market. We cant recommend them highly enough.
I had an excellent experience working with Kim and Richard to sell my home. They made a great team. Kim was very professional, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to helping me achieve my best outcome. Communication with me was excellent and I was kept informed through the entire process. Their attention to detail gave me confidence and I was extremely grateful for their dedication and support. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell a property
We were very happy with the service and professionalism provided by both Sue and Jack.
We honestly cannot thank Sue and Jack enough for helping us buy our first home. Going into this, we were pretty overwhelmed by the whole process, but they completely took the stress out of it for us. Their knowledge of the market here in Tauranga is amazing. Because we were new to all of this, we had a million questions, but they never made us feel like a nuisance. They explained everything clearly and made sure we actually understood what was happening at every step. Their communication was brilliant throughout. They were always available whenever we needed to chat, answer a quick text, or sort out a viewing, even outside normal hours. Sue and Jack are just lovely, down-to-earth people who are fantastic at their jobs. Thanks to them, we have bagged our first home, and the whole experience was brilliant.
From the very start Paige was amazing at communicating with us. She was always so friendly and bubbly and helped get our sale across the line quickly. We’re stoked wirh the outcome and would use her again and again.
Mel is the selling agent for a property we have just purchased. We found the process surprisingly stress free thanks to Mel’s great communication and relaxed nature.
Nicholas’ communication style is inclusive, comprehensive and friendly. His market knowledge is extensive, coming across as someone who eats, sleeps and breathes real estate. Nicholas is persistent in getting the best value, carefully balancing our expectations as venders and the reality of the market. He worked incredibly hard to get the sale over the line, which achieved the best deal for both parties. Nicholas and his team go above and beyond expectations, especially helping sort those little details before handover. This was the second time we’d used Nicholas as the agent to sell our property and have no hesitation in recommending him and his team.
I found Paige very familiar with all of the ins and outs of real estate and took the time to fully explain each step. She was very professional, but also caring. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

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.
