Helped us with a recent purchase, with an older property. What more can you ask for..... responsive, friendly and helpful. The best attributes in an agent.
Erin’s communication style is warm, consultative and she makes the whole buying and selling experience feel stress free and like you’re in good hands. We bought our house through Erin and, when it was time to sell, there was no question that we wanted Erin’s help again. Friendly, great knowledge of the market and authentic. We highly recommend Erin as one of Oamaru’s top real estate agents to work with.
Erin Kingan was outstanding from start to finish in helping us purchase our new home on Lune Street, Oamaru. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She made sure we knew exactly what was happening at every step, kept us fully informed, and guided us through everything in a way that made the whole experience far less stressful. She genuinely went above and beyond what you would normally expect from a sales agent. Erin was also incredibly helpful in making us feel welcome in Oamaru. She took the time to tell us about the town, gave us advice on local schools for our daughter, and helped us feel confident that we were making the right move. That personal touch meant a lot to us. We have bought and sold numerous properties both in New Zealand and overseas, and without question Erin is the best agent we have ever dealt with. Professional, knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely invested in her clients. We are very happy customers and would highly recommend Erin to anyone buying or selling property.
Kirsten was always available.Never made you feel like you were under any pressure, she has great marketing knowledge and willing to help with ant questions you may have.
I am so pleased that i went with Heather Burgher of Arizto for the sale of my home. Heather was an absolute pleasure to work with, great communication, speedy responses, provision of thorough and very useful market analysis, highly professional and most importantly, really helpful and friendly. The photos and video taken by the Arizto team were excellent and showed my home honestly and beautifully, i was proud to be presenting with their promotional material. Heather negotiated really well for me and the house sale moved very quickly and smoothly. I highly recommend Heather to anyone wanting to sell in the Oamaru region.
Sam was very helpful & answered every call. He made buying our house extremely easy & effortless. He went the extra mile. I would highly recommend Sam as your agent. I will certainly use again in the future when the times comes.

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.
