Kiri and Gretchen managed the sale with professionalism from start to finish. They demonstrated strong knowledge of the property early on, before seeing the LIM and plans. The selling process was smooth, resulting in the property selling in just over a week with a price above expectations. The overall experience was straightforward and easy. I would use Kiri and Gretchen from Arizto again and I highly recommend them!

We could not fault Carly, she kept us up to date on a regular basis, she was open and honest with her dealings with us. She was totally professional and we would have no hesitation in recommending her to future property sellers. We were very happy with the outcome of our sale.

After alot of thought I rang Carly regarding a beautiful wee house I had seen on the internet. Carly was amazing to deal with. She took alot of my phone calls, these where taken at all time of the day and evening. Buying a house in Timaru from the Coromandel was not going to be easy, however she made very easy with her only being a phone call away. She answered all my questions and got back to me if she didn't know the answer. I'm now in my new home in Timaru and would recommend Carly to all sellers and buyers. I would say if you are selling your home, sell though her. She will commit completely to selling your home to the right buyer. She is a 10 out of 10.

We recently sold our house with the help of Ben and Joelle, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very first meeting right through to settlement, Ben and Joelle were professional, transparent, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result. They provided clear communication at every step, kept us fully informed throughout the campaign, and made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well-managed. Their market knowledge, attention to detail, and confident approach gave us real peace of mind. The result they achieved exceeded our expectations, and the service they delivered was exceptional. We highly recommend Ben and Joelle to anyone looking to buy or sell, they truly went above and beyond. Thanks again for the outstanding work!

Buying a home can feel overwhelming - but not when you have the right person guiding you. I recently purchased my home through Ben Groundwater - LJH Timaru, and the experience was outstanding. From day one, Ben made the process smooth and stress-free. He was proactive, clear in his communication, and always available to answer questions - no matter how small. What really stood out was his ability to keep everything calm and on track, even when things got a little hectic. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who combines market knowledge with genuine care for his clients, I highly recommend Ben. Thanks again, Ben, for making this such a positive experience!
Her knowledge and ability made it a fun experience buying a house, I’m very thankful to have Leanne for she was able to answer any questions and to guild us in the process
Leanne was a breath of fresh air. She was professional but also had a relaxed approached during the sale/purchase. You can tell Leanne is looking to complete a fair and smooth transaction, while remaining honest throughout the process. I am a Mortgage Broker, and work with a lot of agents, and I cant say this is a common trait! Thanks again Leanne!
