One of the best agents we have worked with. We found Leigh very informative , down to earth and attentive.
Emails sent showing listing hits and watch list added, plus texts from Leigh regarding open home activities
Leigh was amazing, she worked tirelessly to get our rental property sold. Communication was excellent and we were very much surprised with the final sale price being a lot over what we had it listed for, Clearly Leigh is a sharp negotiator and very knowledgeable in her field of expertise. We honestly could not be happier with the service and outcome so we would gladly recommend Aritizo as the perfect platform to sell or buy with. We will be using Leigh again in the near future. AAA +++
We cannot recommend Sheree Williams highly enough. We came to her facing an unexpected challenge and feeling unsure of what lay ahead. Sheree listened, understood what mattered to us, and guided us through the whole process with genuine empathy and confidence. Her communication was excellent, and Shelley made sure we felt informed and supported at every step. Together, they made a difficult situation feel manageable. Sheree sold our house just three weeks after it was listed and achieved a result that exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for her care, expertise and hard work. If you’re looking for an agent who truly has your best interests at heart, Sheree is exceptional.
Communication are great, and we are overwhelmed.
We had a great experience working with Rhys! He made everything smooth and not stressful, and had awesome communication through the process
Sheree has a high-powered energy which is unmatched to any of the other agents I’ve worked with in Invercargill. She’s made the process as a buyer so simple, especially given that I was from out of town and unable to view the property. The communication involved with the purchase was fantastic - I was kept up to date with everything going on, when we went to multi-offer, the conditional and unconditional process. Now it’s just a waiting game until we go unconditional, and I’m glad to have Sheree and Shelley beside me through this process. Not that I’m going to be selling or buying a home again anytime soon, when the time does come, Sheree will be the first person I call to get the job done!

We had some huge challenges with our move. Mostly caused by others & Fiona kept checking in, at all hours. She went above & beyond many times over! We highly recommend Fiona. Attention to detail, thoughtful, kind & such a great attitude. Even checking in 3 months later to make sure all was ok! Has become a face we can trust & one we respect immensely.
Jess was so easy to talk too We appreciate everything she’s had done for us in such a short time
Outstanding knowledge of the area very professional service,would not hesitate to have Leigh as an agent great service

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.
