Thanks again to Des and his amazing team for helping me sell my property. Des went above and beyond to get this house sold and I couldn't have asked for anything else. You guys are amazing and I wouldn't trust anyone else with getting the job done :)

As soon as we saw it we knew it was the perfect place for us. The process was made easy and we were kept in the loop with everything and how it was tracking on.

We enlisted the services of Team Rupert Kemeys due to us having dealt with them previously. Also, they had recently sold a neighboring property and had left their flyer at our property, which to us demonstrated their desire to obtain the listing. At our initial onsite appraisal we found Rupert very professional, beautifully presented and personable. We found his appraisal honest and accurate with him having very good market knowledge. Therefore we enlisted his services on the spot without the need to meet with other agents. We were provided with a detailed marketing plan which involved two open homes through to a deadline sale. At first we thought we would extend that to three open homes, however upon reflection we decided to remain with the initial plan which turned out to be absolutely the way to go. We were absolutely delighted with the photography and felt they had captured the true essence of the property. The video of Rupert and Scoota was cute ! After twelve days on the market, two open homes and numerous private viewings, we were presented with three offers at deadline. One of which we immediately accepted. Team Rupert Kemeys set up a group Whats App Chat which made our communication seamless. We really didn't require their more formal updates as we felt we were 'in the loop' throughout the entire process, therefore their communication style was brilliant and really suited us. With having recently sold a neighboring property, Team Rupert Kemeys brought with them their data base of prospective purchasers looking to purchase in the area, which could only have been advantageous to our sale. Therefore, in summary we could not speak more highly of Team Rupert Kemeys. We are more than happy to endorse their services and will most certainly entrust them with any future properties.

Rupert, Scoota and the Ray White team were excellent. We were concerned about selling our home while being located overseas - but they went the extra mile, helping us arrange the necessary trades / items in order to get our home ready for sale. They kept us updated throughout the process and helped us achieve a great result in a challenging market.

Buyer of 22B Moohan Street, Wainuiomata
Vanessa was friendly, professional, and exceptional to work with. She went above and beyond to assist us with purchasing our first home, was always quick to respond to our questions, and accommodated multiple viewings. She made the entire process simple and stress-free, and we would highly recommend her.
Seller of 226B Dowse Drive, Maungaraki
I had a fantastic experience dealing with Chris Ingram. He was incredibly positive, knowledgeable and genuinely lovely to deal with throughout the whole process. He always kept me informed, communicated clearly, and kept my anxiety at bay! What really stood out was how approachable and easy he was to deal with. His positive attitude made what can be a stressful process, so much easier. I'm really grateful for Chris's help and would honestly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent they can trust. I wouldn't hesitate to use Chris again.

Seller of 204 Major Drive, Kelson
Selling the house on behalf of my elderly mother could have been a nightmare, but with the calm support and Chris and the team it was a breeze. Chris kept me aware of exactly where things were up to at every step of the way.His contacts and local knowledge made little things easy. Access to high quality cleaners (for both inside and outside) was such time saver for us. Chris was very accommodating and worked around my availability without fuss. Very good advice from start to finish - a short campaign, focus on the genuine buyers and guidance around final negotiations were all really valuable in securing the sale.
Seller of 153 Waipounamu Drive, Kelson
We cannot recommend Chris and Shane highly enough. Their knowledge of the local area is exceptional, and being local themselves gave us great confidence throughout the whole process. As we were living in the UK while selling our property, the 12 hour time difference could have made communication challenging. However, Chris and Shane were always incredibly responsive and kept us updated every step of the way. They regularly responded to our messages promptly, even outside of normal working hours, which we really appreciated. Their experience and insight into the local market were invaluable, especially during a time when the market was quite saturated. They worked hard to help us get the sale over the line and provided honest advice throughout the process. The entire sale and handover process was smooth and stress free. They went above and beyond by helping to organise local tradespeople to resolve minor issues and ensure everything was ready for settlement. Chris even helped tidy the lawn while we were overseas, which is far beyond what we would ever expect from an agent. Nothing was too much trouble. Chris was proactive, friendly, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for us. This wasn't our first experience working with him either. He previously helped us purchase a property, and once again he delivered outstanding service. If you're looking for professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy agents who genuinely care about their clients, Chris and Shane are the team to choose. In our experience, they are simply top agents.
