Latest reviews in South Bay
We were given high price expectations but in the end was sold for a realistic price.
Janice made the process of buying our new home so much easier than anticipated. She is always willing to answer Qs and go the extra mile. She joins in the fun of the excitement and vision making it feel like a personal relationship. She is very professional and keeps thing confidential.
"The professionalism and sales record of Tracey and Trev Peterson looked good on the internet. Once we met with them, we were very impressed and convinced that they would be our best choice of agents to sell our house. Tracey and Trev Peterson were outstanding in every way. They understood the difficulty in selling when we did not live locally. Whenever there was a problem they rolled up their sleeves and made it go away. They shifted furniture and upgraded room decor, they arranged building repairs, they arranged gardening, they carried out cleaning. But it was in selling that they really excelled. With excellent communication, good advice, frequent open homes, and a wonderful, warm, friendly manner they very quickly sold our house."
All I can say is thank you for making my dream home come true, your professionalism was outstanding, Janice would be intouch with me all the time not only to give me advice but to ensure that everything was running smoothly If I was to do it all over Janice Dreaver at Harcourts Kaikoura would definitely be it. thank you again
We were so satisfied with our previous dealings with Janice on the purchase of our new home that we had to get her on board to sell it. She was very successful in achieving a wonderful sale for us and being a great support throughout the process. Couldn't recommend more highly!

The RateMyAgent Experience
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. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
