2 real estate agents in Ponatahi, Wellington

Buying a house isn't always sunshine, speedos and sold stickers, and our journey certainly had its fair share of "you've got to be kidding me" moments. After plenty of open homes, tough negotiations, being cashed out on a property we thought was ours, and more than a few disappointments, Damien and Lisa never stopped believing we'd find the right place. Lisa kept everything running like clockwork, while Damien's laid-back approach and quick wit somehow managed to turn even the most frustrating situations into something you could laugh about. When things weren't going our way, he'd remind us there was always another house—and usually throw in a one-liner that had us laughing instead of dwelling on the negatives. What stood out most was that they never pushed us to settle. They genuinely wanted us to find the “right”home, not just “A” home. When the right opportunity came along, they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to get us over the line. Making light work of intense negotiation between multiple parties and properties. Damien and Lisa are genuine, honest, and brilliant at what they do. They make the hard parts easier, the good parts even better, and somehow keep you smiling through the whole rollercoaster. If you're after agents who'll go into bat for you, keep things real, and help you laugh your way through the inevitable bumps along the road, we couldn't recommend Damien and Lisa more highly. Thanks for sticking with us—we're absolutely wrapped with our new home. And Damien... never lose the Kiwi spirit. It turns out a good laugh is almost as valuable as a good negotiator! Almost!

It took a while to find a buyer but Damien persisted and made calculated decisions to keep the property visible to the market. As always, very easy to deal with, I have used Damien in the past and would have no issue using his team in the future

He kept in touch with us regularly letting us know results of open homes, interest from buyers and buyer feedback. Within 8 weeks we had a sale in a very depressed market.

If you’re looking for a real estate agent who genuinely puts your interests first, I can’t recommend Lisa Cumming highly enough. From the beginning to the end of the process, Lisa was incredibly committed, professional, honest, and caring. Selling a home can be stressful, but she was there every step of the way, always taking the time to answer questions, provide sound advice, and keep me informed. What stood out most was Lisa’s integrity. I always felt she had my best interests at heart and was focused on achieving the best possible outcome for me rather than simply making a sale. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, was proactive in her communication, and consistently went above and beyond. Lisa’s hard work, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is an outstanding real estate professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Great in answering questions and phone calls

Lisa has been the most amazing real estate agent to deal with. My partner and I jumped into buying a home way back in August 2025, Every open home we were greeted by a new face, new real estate agent. It was all becoming a little overwhelming until we met Lisa. Lisa from day one has been committed to finding us our first home. She has been the only who has constantly messaged us with new properties, times and helped organise viewings. She has really listened to what Ben and I were looking for. Every house got better than the last thanks to Lisa. Best part is we got to look at 8 oxford street before it went live. She has been the best and we could not have asked for someone better to help us find our 1st home. She has been super professional. The knowledge about every home has been superb and amazing with all the tips on how to upscale the homes. we have learnt so much thanks to Lisa and we are so excited we are now on the property ladder. Thank you so much again, we highly recommend Lisa.
