Darrell has sold two of our properties now. We love his communication, down to earth nature and ability to get things done! Darrell under-promises and over delivers, which gives realistic expectations for what you can get for your property. He takes care of things 100% and it is very relaxing, knowing someone you can trust has things under control! It was a no brainer for us to use him again when we sold our next property. We highly recommend Darrell and his team to anyone looking to sell.

I appreciated working alongside Janine to secure this property. Janine was honest and professional and I could tell that she really wanted the best outcome for both myself and the vendor. Her communication was excellent and I would highly recommended as both a buyers and sellers agent. Thank you Janine.

Janine is the most professional and least pushy agent you could ever hope for. Once again she achieved an outstanding result for us. With her experienced advice we prepped the property in a way that helped us maximise its potential. Janine is a pleasure to work with and guided us through the whole process which seemed effortless as a result. Thank you Janine!! 🤩
Celeste was very easy to deal with and in handling with our lawyer on our behalf . Also in keeping us informed throughout the whole process . She made it feel like a personal rather than a purely business transaction.

Nikki is energetic and enthusiastic which I can imagine would be motivating to buyers. We worked together on the best features to renovate to achieve a fast sale in a slow market. As we had already moved away she was great with recommending handyman/builder with a few things. She was also very knowledgeable about market conditions and seasonality helping to reach timely decisions. Nothing was too much trouble and she has single-minded focus.
Working with Anna Straathof has been an absolute delight - she truly is the Betty White of Real Estate in Taranaki! Warm, witty, and full of experience, Anna makes the entire buying and selling process feel easy and even enjoyable. She brings both professionalism and heart to the table, making sure every detail is handled with care, and every client feels supported. Her PA, Belinda Schumacher, is equally fantastic - efficient, approachable, and always one step ahead. Together, Anna and Belinda are a dream team who go above and beyond to deliver not only great results but also a positive, stress-free experience. If you want expertise with a personal touch (and a smile), you can't go wrong with Anna and Belinda!

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.
