Testimonials

  • We had the pleasure of working with Rachel Hooper on the sale of our parents home. Rachel from the beginning explained everything clearly and over the course of the sale process covered off every detail big or small, this was especially helpful for us as we live out of town. Rachel also maintained excellent communication, keeping us in the loop at all times with regular updates and throughout the negotiations. She has a very friendly manner, a great attention to detail and we would highly recommend her services to anyone buying or selling property. Kristen, New Plymouth 2023
  • I chose Rachel to market and sell my family home as I had already developed a relationship of trust working with her previously. She worked professionally and with humor and empathy the whole way. (Letting go of the home I’d had for over 20 years was not easy). When an unexpected family crisis added to the stress, she was amazing – just took the reins, kept me in the loop and worked hard to secure a fair deal all round. Throughout she was professional and diligent, guiding me where necessary but never adding pressure. Rachel has exceptional personal skills and excels in making what could be a very stressful time run smoothly. She instills confidence, always with a smile. I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough.

  • In selling our property, we were looking for a local real estate agent to do the job for us from start to finish - we chose Angela, with whom we found to be genuine, very warm and knowledgeable, and who gave us clear and concise information. It’s been a really tough year for all of us, and Angela has been with us every step of the way, giving us guidance, together with patience and understanding, to finally achieve the end result. We got there in the end and you can too - with Angela. You won’t be disappointed! A & R

She has confidence, integrity and honesty. She also replied to any of my emails almost immediately which also impressed me. So I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home, she was brilliant. She was very professional and she did her job very well. Phil

  • We can’t recommend Rachel enough. We had a fantastic experience dealing with her right from the start. Straight after our first viewing with Rachel my wife and I looked at each other and said at the same time “we have to buy a house from her!” She was absolutely incredible, very professional but at the same time just a fun person to help us through this stressful stage. We went through due diligence on multiple properties before finding the perfect place and over the course of a few months she was always available whenever we needed. At the time we were living half on the other side of the world and we would find Rachel returning our messages in the middle of her night. It got to the point where we had to tell her to stop working so hard! This shows her absolute dedication to her job. We will not hesitate to engage her services again when we need them.
    Thank you so much for all your hard work Rachel and we look forward to working with you again.

  • My wife Jenny and I have known Jodie Dahlkvist for about 3 months since taking over the previous property manager. Jodie has been managing a property that we rent out in Oakura. In this time, Jodie has impressed us with her professionalism and her dedication. We have another property that we have now asked Jodie to manage. Jodie has excellent communication skills and ensures that we are kept up to date with what is happening with our properties. I would not hesitate to recommend Jodie to anyone looking for a property manager. Guy And Jenny
