We recently bought a house through Ferg and had a great experience, he was very responsive and happy to talk through anything we needed help with. As first home buyers everything was so new to us but he helped us every step of the way which made the experience so much easier. We appreciate how efficient and on to it he was at every little step and couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you Ferg!

Nicola was always easy to communicate with, prompt with all parts of the buying process and went out of her way to fit to our schedule
Doug helped me secure a great place for my mum close to mine, and he was fantastic throughout the whole process. He was super helpful, patient, and really took the time to understand what we needed. His local knowledge and attention to detail made everything much smoother and less stressful. If you're looking for a reliable and genuine real estate agent in the Selwyn/Lincoln/Christchurch area, Doug is the one to call. Thanks again, Doug! 👍
Julie was great at communicating with us as the buyers. Letting us know in a timely manner what was going on and what we needed to do. Julie was always willing to help us navigate our first home buying process and quick to reply to our questions. Honestly we can’t fault her for anything as we felt that she had both the vendors and buyers interests at heart and worked her magic to ensure we were all happy with the process. She is also local in our community which we feel enhanced our experience. Thanks so much Julie for all your help and expertise!
Julz was absolutely fantastic to work with throughout the entire sale process. From the very beginning, she was supportive, professional, and incredibly responsive—always available at the drop of a hat whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but Julz made everything feel smooth and manageable. Her communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt well-informed and confident in the process. I truly appreciated everything she did to help get the best outcome and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Suzy was amazing; being both out of NZ when I put my house on the market and a first home seller she guided me through the process, and truly went the extra mile from start to finish.
From my very first meeting with Suzy she was very proactive, knowledgeable about the local area and current market. Suzy listened and understood my situation, and gave me great advice with the steps we could take together. Suzy is professional and just so easy to get along with.

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.
