We had such a lovely experience with Shelley. She was very professional, patient, relaxed and easygoing. We never felt pressured at all and always felt comfortable asking questions. She was very approachable and accommodating throughout the whole process.
Gordon and Dale were instrumental by being a professional sounding board in helping us make sound decisions.We were considering 3 very different properties but are very pleased we chose our new home.Their negotiations proved the difference in getting our deal across the line .Any info we required was presented promptly by the other members of this team.Nothing was a problem and they made themselves freely available . We are so pleased we engaged this team and whilst this has been business we feel we have made some good friends along the way. Highly recommend Dale, Gordon & team
We honestly cannot recommend Jamie highly enough! As first-home buyers, the whole process can feel incredibly overwhelming, but he made everything so easy for us from start to finish. His communication was absolutely impeccable. He was approachable, responsive, proactive and always kept us in the loop. We never once felt like we were left wondering what was happening or what the next step was. For being such a busy agent, we were genuinely blown away by how hands-on he was. He personally guided us through the entire process, was always available when we needed him and made us feel like a priority every step of the way. Buying your first home is such a huge milestone, and having someone like him in your corner makes all the difference. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism and genuine effort he put into helping us secure our first home. Thank you for making such a big experience feel so straightforward and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent!
We had a great experience working with Ailsa Chen to sell our home in Pōkeno. We appreciated her help throughout the sale and were pleased with the result. Thank you, Ailsa! We’d happily recommend you to anyone looking to sell their home.
Great responsive communication. Very professional and great to deal with.

We couldn’t recommend Sue Hall and Donna Southwick highly enough. Selling Rutland was a significant milestone for us, and they made what could have been a really stressful process feel so much easier. Sue and Donna were supportive, responsive and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for us. Their communication was fantastic throughout, and we always felt informed, reassured and well looked after, particularly when things became a little more complicated towards the end. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they did to help us get Rutland sold and allow us to move on to our next chapter. Thank you both so much!
We recently sold our property with Jamie and concluded a sale in the first week in a difficult property market. Highly recommend his professionalism, and appreciated his open communication and prompt feedback after every viewing. Could not be happier with the outcome, thanks Jamie.
Gaurav Puri has been absolutely incredible and supportive throughout my journey of finding a home. He took the time to understand my requirements, paid close attention to every detail and consistently guided me in the right direction. What truly sets him apart is his commitment to his word. He delivers on his promises and genuinely goes above and beyond to secure the best possible deal for his clients. On a personal level, he has been more than just a real estate professional to me — he has been like a wise, supportive older brother, offering valuable advice and reassurance every step of the way. I am genuinely grateful for all his guidance, dedication and support. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me through this journey. Highly recommended!

Sue takes selling your home personally. She communicates exceptionally well and is committed to achieving the best possible result. Sue went above and beyond throughout the entire process, liaising with tenants, Kāinga Ora (KO), and providing much-needed moral support along the way. She had to navigate some challenging tenant situations and consistently found new approaches to keep the sale moving forward. When new tenants moved in, Sue remained completely hands-on. She welcomed potential buyers and renters through open homes and, once again, went the extra mile by assisting with final paperwork, property access, and handover arrangements when I wasn't able to be there myself. At no point did I feel that interest in my property was diminishing or that Sue's focus had shifted elsewhere. She made me feel supported every step of the way and gave me complete confidence that she had everything under control. Sue and Donna are an amazing team. If you're looking for knowledgeable, dedicated professionals who genuinely care and make you feel supported throughout your selling or buying journey, I highly recommend reaching out to Sue.
From the moment we met Michelle she put us right as ease, she is approachable, warm and professional. Michelle was responsive and kept us informed regularly while our house was on the market and provided feedback quickly after open homes. We would definitely work with Michelle again and recommended her and her daughter Savanna to other sellers.
