Latest reviews in Te Aro
John used up to date data and information to set sale price and in difficult market conditions stayed the course to get the property sold. Always kept us informed and up to date with developments and is an expert in the apartment market.
Very straightforward and easy house purchase with Wayne and Marina. They were very professional and we felt that we were well informed along each step of the way.

Very responsive and followed up immediately with my questions I was very happy with the sale
Selling an apartment in Wellington in late 2026 was always going to be difficult. I asked a friend whose judgement I trusted to recommend an agent. He recommended Vinay. He knows his market and is full of good advice and positive energy. He managed to work between a buyer who was initially in Germany, and me the seller who at settlement was in Tokyo, and personally negotiated a deal that looked like it might NOT happen after "the lawyers all went home on a Friday night". And he managed to sell the property for more than I expected. He was definitely "average to good" (Means superb!).
Bill and Tommy both made the buying process very simple, explaining things clearly and responding to questions and queries very quickly. Negotiating price was also very simple and quick, great for a first time buyer!

Good communicator, well knowledged, very helpful.
We can’t recommend Wayne and Marina highly enough. From our first meeting, they were thoroughly professional, and their expert advice on pricing, presentation and marketing was spot on. Our house sold within 10 days of listing. Communication was clear and quick throughout. We always knew where things stood, and they answered every question promptly. They made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed. If you’re thinking of selling, Wayne and Marina are the obvious go-to agents.
Tania was recommended to us and achieved a welcome sale for us. She was very professional in all our dealings with her and her staff.
Very professional agent who took us through the whole process seamlessly and kept us well informed. Ramon provided great advice on presenting our property and he has good knowledge of the current market. Very well run open homes and great follow up with interested parties resulting in four serious offers in the first two weeks. We would happily use Ramon in the future.
Assessment of property value and price positioning was spot on. Worked with enquires to get an offer in a down market.

The RateMyAgent Experience
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. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
