What Our Customers Say
Super job in finding a buyer.
Andrea Magill and the team from Real Kerikeri did a super job in finding a buyer for our property in Kerikeri. From the outset Andrea was determined to find a suitable buyer for our property and showed the utmost tenacity to complete a sale and purchase to make ourselves plus the buyers very happy and satisfied. We would recommend Andrea to anyone seeking a dedicated agent to help with the sale of their property.
Honest, Caring and a Lovely Person
Finding our first home was about more than just the house and the surrounding property. We wanted a safe, welcoming place to land and a smooth journey getting there. Grant and his team gave us exactly that. From the very start, Grant made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Grant is down-to-earth, professional and a total breath of fresh air to work with. He was incredibly patient and completely transparent with all the details about the home. He is honest and reliable, which gave us total peace of mind. We also met another member of his team who equally shares these amazing qualities. Even now, since we have just gone unconditional, they are still right there supporting us. We are so grateful for their help in finding our destined home. We highly recommend Grant and his team to anyone looking for an amazing real estate agent. Thanks Grant for all your honesty and care Elisabeth & Mike
Joanna was so lovely. She helped us find our perfect house.
She listened to what we were looking for and found exactly what we wanted. She helped us present the right offer to give us the best outcome.

Why Smart Buyers Look Beyond the QV
One of the most common questions we hear from purchasers is: "Why is the asking price higher than the QV?" It's a fair question, but it's important to understand what a QV is — and what it isn't. A QV is a mass appraisal carried out for rating purposes. It is generally based on data available at a specific point in time and is often generated without anyone physically inspecting the property. It doesn't necessarily reflect current market conditions or the unique features that can significantly influence value. What a desktop valuation can't fully assess includes: • Quality of construction and workmanship • Renovations and modern upgrades • Heating, solar systems and energy efficiency improvements • Landscaping and outdoor living areas • Views, privacy and location within the neighbourhood • Additional sheds, workshops or outbuildings • High-spec chattels and fixtures • Compliance and consent status • The emotional appeal that attracts buyers The reality is that buyers don't purchase a QV. They purchase a home. In today's market we regularly see properties sell above, below and very close to their QV depending on their condition, presentation, location and buyer demand. When considering a property, we encourage purchasers to look at comparable recent sales, replacement costs, land value, the property's unique attributes and how it compares with other homes currently available. Sometimes a property is overpriced. Sometimes it represents outstanding value. The QV alone rarely tells the full story. The best purchasing decisions are made using current market evidence, professional advice and careful due diligence—not simply by comparing the asking price to a rating valuation. At REAL, we're happy to discuss the sales evidence behind any property we market and help you understand where it sits in the current Kerikeri market. A team you know. Experience you trust....
Real Value Comes From Real Inspection.
The new QV valuations are out, and while some are reasonably accurate, plenty simply do not stack up. Why? Because these are desktop valuations. No one has walked through your home, inspected the quality of the build, the finishing touches, chattels, ceiling height, heating, solar, landscaping, views, extra outbuildings, or checked whether everything is properly signed off with no outstanding consent issues. QV’s computer algorithm provides a broad estimate of value at a single point in time, but it does not fully reflect changing market conditions, buyer demand across different property types and locations, or the specific features that may make your property more or less attractive to buyers. To know what your home is really worth, you need an experienced agent to visit, assess it properly, and prepare a comparable market analysis based on real local sales evidence. And you do not need to be ready to sell. At REAL, we are happy to provide an honest, no-obligation market appraisal free of charge, helping you make informed decisions for the future. Choose Kerikeri’s #1 agency — an award-winning team with real local knowledge, experience, and results. Call REAL today and find out what your home is really worth....

Why Auctions Are Finding the Market Tough Right Now
Across many parts of New Zealand, auctions are currently achieving fewer successful outcomes than they did during the stronger markets of recent years. The main reason is confidence. Auctions work best when buyers feel urgency and competition. At the moment, many buyers believe they have time on their side. With more properties available and less fear of missing out, purchasers are comfortable stepping back rather than committing quickly under auction conditions. Recent commentary from economists and agents around the country also suggests open home attendance and auction room participation have softened as concerns about job security, interest rates, and global uncertainty influence decision-making. Buyers are still active — but they are more cautious. Another factor is price expectations. Auctions rely on strong alignment between buyer willingness and vendor expectations. Where vendors are still hoping to achieve peak-cycle prices from several years ago, auctions can struggle to generate the momentum needed on the day. Importantly, there is no single sales method that works best in every market. A “one size fits all” approach — sometimes encouraged by larger national brands — doesn’t always reflect local buyer behaviour or current conditions. Choosing the right method requires careful reading of the local market and the likely buyer pool for each property. That’s where strong local insight makes a real difference. At REAL, we focus on selecting the approach that best suits the property, the timing, and the people involved — helping vendors make informed decisions with confidence in a changing market....
