Thank you, Kate! She is amazing! She was patient and kind with my elderly parents. She worked with them at their pace, great communication, always keeping us updated without the "pushy" manner we came across with other local agents. Great local knowledge too as she had been brought up in the area. We would recommend her to anyone looking to sell in Central Hawkes Bay.
The purchase was love at first sight and Kate made the dream come true. She kept my vision alive and my spirits high I couldn't have done this part of our journey without such a magnificent agent your knowledge expertise kindness and dedication never waivered thank you for leading the way and making this experience an enjoyable one
We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Molly and Jane. Our house sold on the very first day it went on the market! The communication throughout the whole process was excellent. They responded immediately to our texts, phone calls and emails, kept us fully informed, and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Molly and Jane were professional, friendly and incredibly helpful from start to finish. We really appreciated everything they did to make the sale such an easy and positive experience. We would highly recommend Molly and Jane to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you both so much! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fast communication, Knew the area, and market.
Buying my first home felt overwhelming at times, but Heatha made the whole process so much easier. She was always friendly, approachable, and quick to answer any questions I had. Communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt informed and supported. She was professional, honest, and genuinely cared about making the process as smooth as possible. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and she helped guide me through one of the biggest milestones of my life. Thanks to Heatha, I’m now the proud owner of my very first home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you so much for everything!
I live in the other island so all my dealings were by email and phone. Despite this the processs went smoothly. I used a local family member to check the property out. I received plenty of information from Heatha which gave me confidence in making my offer. She was quick to clarify any concerns that I had.
We have been very happy with the agent's performance and handling of the section sales. He has been great to deal with throughout the process and kept us regularly updated on sales activity in the area. His communication and professionalism made the experience smooth and reassuring. We would happily recommend him to others.
As a buyer, Darren was super helpful, easy as fast communication. If I have a property to sell I would not hesitate to put in his hands. Thank you Darren for helping us to buy our first home!

Review for Janeane Strawbridge Firstly Ray and I would like to thank PGG Wrightsons for having such a wonderful Sales Consultant Janeane. From the beginning Janeane showed us what she could do for us. We picked her because she had the professionalism we thought was needed to sell our house. She not only could talk the talk but also could walk the walk. And we were not wrong. Our house sold after one open home. Thank you Janeane for all the help you guided us through. We highly recommend Janeane if you’re selling or buying a house. Michelle and Ray

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.

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.
