Pip has a very honest communication style. She assisted us with the local contacts necessary to have the house checked out and has kept us updated through the process. Friendly and personable and very down to earth.
Very capable, open to contact, quick to respond and friendly very knowledgeable on all aspects of the purchase, very professional always willing to go the extra mile. Great contact with the vendors and great skills negotiating.
Erin made what could have been a stressful process feel genuinely easy. We were relocating from overseas to a small town, which comes with its own uncertainty, and Erin’s support made all the difference. She was responsive, patient, and clearly cared about getting the right outcome for us, not just closing a sale. Her local knowledge and warmth helped us feel settled before we’d even arrived. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent to guide us through buying our new home, and we’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy in the Oamaru area. Thank you, Erin, for everything.
Very accessible to contact at any time and a professional experience.
Heather helped me purchase my retirement home in New Zealand. Coming from Australia, it was somewhat nerve wracking making a purchase in an different market. Heather was patient, thoughtful, very knowledgeable and above all, honest. She went above and beyond to do everything she could to ease the process for me. I would highly recommend her.
Heather's communication throughout the process was excellent — she was consistently responsive and kept me well informed at every stage. She went above and beyond given that I was living out of town, taking care of things that would otherwise have been difficult to manage remotely. Overall, Heather made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I'd happily recommend Heather to anyone looking to sell. Thanks, Amanda
Very fair, professional and facilitated a quick purchase.
Very good all-round performance
Selling a home can be a very stressful time but with Erin we found the process was brilliant, Erin has great local knowledge on what the market is doing and guided us through the steps of selling seamlessly which gave us confidence going forward knowing our home was in safe hands. From helping us with suggestions for presenting our home ready for open homes, and then working with us to make that happen was greatly appreciated, and taking us through all the paperwork side of things Erin was very Professional and had answers for all our many questions, we couldn't have a better person helping us with such a clear understanding of all that was needed to be done and when, Erin truly made this part of the sale easy. Erin was always available to get hold of and so easy to discuss things with no matter how big or small, she always took time to explain things which was lovely, and the communication after open homes was always prompt and informative letting us know what was happening each time which was great to get the feedback. When a buyer came forward to make an offer Erin once again was very active in keeping both parties well informed throughout the process and negotiated well between both sides. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Erin and her wonderful team at LJ Hookers Oamaru to anyone needing to market their home, the whole team were so friendly and approachable and always there to help and assist us and just a great team to work with. We wish you all the very best Erin and want to thank you so much for being so lovely and caring in all that you do.

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.
