Latest reviews in Waikanae
Karen was very approachable and always patient with my struggles to understand the process. I'm very happy in my new home. Thank you Karen
Karen was great with regular updates and constant communication throughout the buying process. She went to extra mile with contacting the vendor a few times to gain more information. Felt well looked after by her.
From the first meeting we had with Craig he stood out from other agents as being someone who will be very proactive with market engagement and he gave us confidence that he would be able to sell our house. He was professional throughout the process, kept us informed throughout and Craig and his team sold the house very quickly in a tough market.
This is the third time we have sold/purchased through Ray. His professionalism, experience, communication and market knowledge has always been of a very high standard and we would have no hesitation in recommending Ray for any real estate requirements.

Awatea has been absolutely amazing in helping us find our next family home. I originally met her at one of her open homes, and she followed up afterwards and really paid attention to what we were looking for. She took the time to understand our needs, showed us different options and went above and beyond to help us find the right home for our family. She is so friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful. We’re so grateful for all the effort she put in and highly recommend her!
Another successful sale using Craig and the team. I was kept well informed throughout the process and the team's hard work and professionalism resulted in a great result on auction day.
Grant was in regular contact with us, letting us know the number of persons showing interest, followed up and let us know whether interest was maintained - and if not, the reason, e.g ponding zone. His knowledge of the Waikanae market is exceptional from his multi year experience. He held regular open homes. Grant is an excellent negotiator and we got as good a result as possible in a very difficult market. He is the ultimate professional. Just before settlement date we had a medical emergency and Grant leapt into the breach to ensure settlement on time.
Worked hard on getting an agreed sale/purchase price
Enjoyed my property purchasing experience with Craig and Sam. Very helpful and supportive team.
Karen definitely knew her market. Was always totally professional and on the button right with marketing from the start. Great communication and always quick to respond to any questions. she also was happy to roll up her sleeves and help keep the place looking top notch. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her. Ren

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.
