Real estate teams in Te Pahu, Waikato

I cannot recommend Kiah from Lodge Realty enough. We decided to sell our property in Australia and move back to New Zealand on a whim, and if that wasn’t going to be stressful enough, we also decided to purchase a property in New Zealand at the same time, without being able to view it ourselves. From day one, Kiah’s professionalism, clear and speedy communication and warm and genuine approach helped make the process so much easier. She exceeded all expectations and accommodated our requests for information on the property and to have people view the property on our behalf. Her knowledge, patience and understanding were invaluable when I got dates wrong and she had to redo the sale contract several times, and when I had questions about the purchase process and New Zealand property market and how they differed from Australia. She answered every question we had, explained everything step by step and guided us along the way with an amazing calming ability yet upbeat and infectious energy at the same time. She went above and beyond to make sure the sale went through. She looked after not only her sellers but us as purchasers as well. I have great respect for Kiah as a person and as an agent, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her should we need to sell/buy in the future.

We found Kiah to be amazing. She really knows her stuff when it comes to real estate and it shows how passionate she is about her work and clients. We would highly recommend Kiah and will definitely use her for our next sale and purchase.

We had such a great experience purchasing our new home thanks to Kiah. Her communication was exceptional throughout the entire process — she kept both of us updated immediately as things progressed, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. She was always professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping us. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

I was very impressed with how Kristina was professional and efficient in a last minute sale of an investment property. Her market knowledge and appraisal was accurate and as indicated, multi offers were presented within one week of being marketed. I was kept up to date with all aspects of the sale process and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Richard recently managed the sale of our family home in circumstances that were considerably more complex than a typical property transaction. The property was being sold by two vendors going through a separation, with an independent trustee also involved in the decision-making and sale process. Throughout the entire campaign, Richard demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience and empathy. He understood that communication needed to be clear, balanced and respectful to everyone involved. He remained impartial, kept each party properly informed and carefully navigated differing views without creating additional pressure or conflict. Richard was always approachable, responsive and honest. His advice was practical and well considered, and he communicated buyer feedback clearly so that informed decisions could be made. When challenges arose, he remained calm and focused on finding a sensible way forward. His ability to manage the people involved was every bit as valuable as his knowledge of the property market and the sales process. Despite the added complexity, Richard kept the campaign moving, followed up prospective buyers diligently and worked hard to achieve a successful result. We always felt that he was committed to completing the sale while still respecting the personal circumstances surrounding it. I would confidently recommend Richard to anyone selling a property, particularly where the situation requires discretion, sensitivity and skilled communication. He handled a difficult sale with integrity, professionalism and genuine care, and we are very grateful for the support he provided from beginning to end.

Very responsive and has great knowledge on what’s going on in the market, amazing negotiation skills and top notch when it comes to professionalism!
