Having just sold our beautiful home through Oliver Road Tauranga, I would like to offer our experience through the process. We first met with Jason and Ben at our property when we were looking to see who we would choose to represent us in the upper market range of properties. This was a very easy decision to make after that meeting. They gave us their time with no pressure, and their professionalism was outstanding. The journey has been a pleasant one from the beginning to the point of sale with them helping with the issues an overseas buyer has to weave their way through. Once sold, Oliver Road has continued to help us through the sale of our furniture and equipment and through it all, we have ended up with two new friends. Would I recommend them? Yes, absolutely. They are an extremely professional team and a pleasure to work with.
Good communication but she only took over after we had a conditional offer agreed up as the original agent went on an overseas holiday
Bernie is so helpful and very knowledgeable one of the best
Phil and Robyn showed genuine enthusiasm for our house from the first visit which is critical. Their communication and advice on comparative properties was excellent. We were marketing in a difficult period and they did everything possible to make contact with potential buyers and get them to view the property. They ran extra open homes as required to lift the focus and attract interest. They and Bayleys were very professional in the build up and running of the auctions which resulted in a timely sale.
Great depth of knowledge in the local market. Through understanding of the sales process & a strong negotiator.

Excellent agent who communicated well and explained market and people well. Was helpful at all stages of the process and very professional and personable. Was happy with the experience
We met Noel many years ago at an open home and when it was time to list our house we knew it had to be him! Great communicator, always kept in the loop and always had our best interests at heart. Being a local we felt also helped as everyone knows Noel and Angela in our neighbourhood and local knowledge a real advantage. Noel has also gone above and beyond trying to help us find our next house sending links through to places we might like and also attending an open home with us. We would highly recommend Noel if you are looking for an agent that really is not your standard agent, more like a family member! Thanks so much Noel we couldn’t have done this without you. Kelly, Brad and the girls.
Noel is a honest and knowledgeable agent with no straight up answers and no sleazy salesman stuff.
Anton was always positive, had good market knowledge & was a pleasure to deal with. He got us a conditional offer then a further couple of back up offers- one of these he had to deal with while out of town at a conference. We would highly recommend Anton if you are wanting a good hard working honest agent who also has a good team behind him. Thanks Anton
Lee offered a warm and friendly service and was genuinely invested in achieving the best results in selling my property. More than happy to recommend him, he'll get it sold :)

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.

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.
