When we began our journey to sell our property, we met with three different real estate companies. It was a no-brainer—we chose Rakhi from Barfoot & Thompson. From our very first meeting, she was positive, enthusiastic, and could clearly see the potential in the property. At no stage did she speak negatively about the property or its condition. Rakhi guided us through the entire process, from discussing the best approach to marketing the property and conducting open homes. We are delighted to say that our property was successfully sold. Throughout the process, Rakhi never compromised her integrity and always maintained clear, honest, and professional communication with us. Her dedication, positivity, and commitment made what could have been a stressful experience so much easier. We would like to sincerely thank Rakhi for the outstanding job she did in achieving such a great result for us. We wish her every success in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their property.
Had good market knowledge. Did a great job with the photos and advertising. In a difficult market she worked hard to find a buy. Didn’t get what I wanted. But got the best the market could do at this time.
Rakhi kept me informed throughout the process and made the whole process simple. She was prompt in responding to any request for information. Overall a great experience.
Good negotiating and very patient.
Timely communication , good advice, honest feedback and strong negotiations on my behalf. Achieved an excellent outcome in a tricky market. Would not hesitate to recommend Nicole's services.
What can I say about Tyler, he was very helpful and enthusiastic from the beginning when I first enquired all the way through to handing over the keys. He guided me through the process without being pushy and got me a deal that I was extremely happy with. He also arranged for visits prior to moving in so I could measure up furniture. There wasn't any issue that he couldn't handle or wouldn't do. I can honestly say that Tyler went the extra mile for me. I really appreciate the service that Tyler provided and I am so happy with my new house, thanks Tyler.
David was incredibly focused and brought a proactive and innovative edge to our sales campaign and negotiations, pushing the boundaries to secure us the best deal. David’s absolute dedication and pragmatic approach kept the entire process grounded and efficient. We highly recommend David to anyone looking to get the best possible result.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Sunnie and Wanly from Harcourts Takapuna for helping me find my new home. From the very beginning, I told Sunnie exactly what I was looking for, and she delivered beyond my expectations. Both Sunnie and Wanly were incredibly professional, considerate, helpful, and resourceful throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer my questions, provide valuable advice, and make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Their dedication, knowledge, and genuine care made all the difference, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thank you again, Sunnie and Wanly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property. From Helen

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.
