As a large family he gave us time to talk between ourselves but was readily available to us for any questions we may have had. Hayden made our experience a great one always open and accommodating with our requests, regularly checking in without making us feel pressured. He was fun to engage with in conversation, noticing the small things and was very professional. Feel we have gained a friend. Thanks heaps Hayden we’ve enjoyed this process just a little bit more because of you Highly recommend and appreciate the extra mile you’ll go too.
Janine provided honest evaulation, guidance and support througout the whole process from beginning to end. Communication was excellent at all times. As the seller, this was huge from my side of it. No matter what questions I had, she answered and navigated me through them. Being an experienced veteran in real estate and an active member of the community, Janine knew the best way to market the property with integrity which I would also value if I was buying. She is, in my mind a professional of the highest standards, but very human and caring at the same time, who will always do the best for her clients. I wouln't hesitate using her again and I intend to in the future. Thank you Janine.
Hayden was very willing to accommodate questions from me to the seller. I found Hayden has excellent people skills. He knew the property and area which helped.
Rita was readily available for our needs as FHBs, with RV requirements and builders reports - she was super flexible in making times work which made the process so much easier. Rita was open with communication and quick to reply, checking in throughout the whole purchasing process. Rita had good information about the home, and was always happy to chat (even if it was late at night!) We have enjoyed our experience with Rita and would recommend her services.
Rita is a person who takes the journey with you and has the same enthusiasm and passion for selling your home as you do. She explained the process and was always available for any queries we had. We never felt alone throughout the process and appreciated her advice and guidance as well as her ability to relate to us on our level (its been a long time since we had done this prior). We strongly recommend Rita as an agent and as a person to sell your home. Its just so much easier to use an agent than trying to do this yourself and the commission rate is the best in town, why wouldn't you give her a try? Thank you Rita, we had a few challenges along the way and you navigated us through these with ease and felt like a friend to us as well. We will recommend you to our friends, family and colleagues who are selling in future and once again thank you! You made it happen for us.
The staff at BBR showed a great depth of knowledge about the Ruakaka property market. Their experience of the local market was most valuable
We chose Ray White because they are strong brand and a reputable Real Estate company in the Bream Bay area. They have a strong team with excellent resources and back up. We appreciated the weekly updates and very impressed their communications. We were very happy in working with Hayden Jones and pleased with a successful outcome. Don & Elaine Mann
Eleven years ago, Janine showed me a section that inspired a vision. A month ago, after Janine showed 40+ people the fruits of our labours, new owners are now creating their own dream. When Janine first shared her proposed advertising heading, we knew she was the best choice for us and "got it". As we had already bought elsewhere, Janine skillfully devised a plan to meet the challenge of selling quickly. We entrusted our move in to Janine's expert care as authenticity and consistency are values we hold sacred. Janine's understanding of people makes for a buoyant force that is extraordinary and inherently comforting to give over to. Her presence and laugh is disarming and resets your mental state in an instant. Selling is tiring and quite a vulnerable time. Janine always knew when and how to reflect the purpose back to us to keep the much needed buoyancy aligned. Here we sit in our new home, reflecting on our whirlwind summer, deeply contented and grateful. We adore you and your team Janine, thank you a thousand, no a million, times!!
Janine recently sold my Bream Bay rental property. She is very approachable and offers common sense advice. She recognises that buying and selling a house can be stressful and emotional time therefore respects the clients pace. Janine and her team keep clients updated with progress and signs of interest. Quick to respond to emails and phone calls within reasonable timeframes. Professional signage outside home for sale. Regular Open Homes and prior notifications. Janine knows her community well and how the Bream Bay area markets heart beats. She sent through regular updates on number of website views and email enquiries of my property. Once my house sold, the lawyers and Janine worked easily together for smooth legal transactions and finalisation. Highly recommend.
Janine is down to earth, easy to deal with, reassuring, and always rings for updates. She is excellent, supportive and works outside the square. She gave discounts, high valuation, good selling price

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.
