Client Testimonials

Clear communication and attentive to any queries that arose. Good market knowledge which was communicated appropriately. Very professional in negotiations and overall interactions.

We found Pete very engaging and keen to help us buy one of Reals properties and sell our current property. He was always professional, not pushy, consistent with follow up and there when you needed him. He is a gentle and patient person, and nothing seems to be a bother. Pete was realistic with his appraisal, and noted all the items we pointed out to him in the written appraisal- proving he was listening and keen to get the details right. We appreciated Pete's regular phone calls to see how we were progressing in getting ready for sale. Pete was always truthful, and gave his honest opinion when asked.

Working with Terri was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Terri had genuine care and integrity throughout the whole process, and her communication was always very clear and honest. I felt supported every step of the way and she was always available for any questions. I highly recommend Terri to anyone who is selling their house.

Moving from New Zealand going abroad, and selling a house remotely can be nerve-wracking, to say the least. But Andrea was more than just another Real Estate Agent. She was a constant support, always there for us. She answered all our questions, made sure we were always up to date, took care of all the paperwork, and negotiated the deal for us. She made us feel like we were more to her than just her clients. Thank you, Andrea, for your great support. With a slow Housing Market at the moment, it took some time for the sales to get through, but Andrea took control of the situation, and solved all the upcoming problems on the way! I’m thankful that I decided to go with Andrea at REAL. Do the same, and you won’t regret it!

We had a great experience working with Pete. He was very easy to deal with and clearly experienced in the property market. Communication was excellent throughout the process, which was especially important as we were based overseas during the purchase process. I’d happily reach out to him again for any future needs and recommend to others.

Extremely vested in my wellbeing and house sale

I also must give very high credit to Grant as he and Pete worked seamlessly together.

From the outside, Terri’s passion for property is all about the person and the home, and she genuinely delights in matching the right home with the right buyer. Throughout the process, nothing was too hard or too small for Terri to handle. She helped us as buyers by ensuring the vendors were happy with our offer and kept them informed on how everything was progressing. She also made sure we had a home to live in when we were caught between two settlement dates. This was my wife’s first home purchase and my fifth, and it was a great experience for us.

Pete Gentil was really great to deal with in our mission to finding the perfect place for us in Kerikeri. Pete listened to what our needs were and matched us with an awesome property that ticked most boxes for us. Pete came across as easy going, relaxed and definitely not pushy, but with confidence and a professional approach. We are delighted with the result, so thank you Pete!

Grant gave us confidence in our home and it’s worth and let us have the space to make the decision to put it on the market. His appraisal proved to be spot on. Shortly after going to market he presented us with an offer that met our expectations. His open and honest approach and great communication skills to both vendor and purchaser, we believe resulted in a very speedy and successful sale of our home.

Grant has great knowledge of the local area and the properties we viewed. He was able to highlight very useful facts of area and prperty with great future suggestions and options.

Pete is some kind of wizard, he found the buyer first and then listed the house afterwards to make sure the buyer stayed interested ? Seriously though we couldn’t have wished for a more professional outcome, from start to finish, he came to see us 12 months before we were ready to make the jump and gave us some great advice and an appraisal and here we are 12 months later looking at moving into our next home after a process of 10 weeks. Pete is an absolute Gentleman and his communication skills and guidance kept us informed all the way to the finish line !

So no one is actually perfect, but as to Terri and the job she did selling our home, she came close. From our first meeting, we were filled with confidence regarding her market knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm. She did exactly what she said she would: she kept us informed, followed up, and closed the deal. Property transactions can be stressful, but we had fun with this one. Thank you, Terri.

He has a excellent market knowledge and he was thorough and very professional with all our communication.

We met Terri when we were first looking for a house (which we did not buy). We kept in touch and when another house came up for which she was the listing agent, we ended up buying it. Terri was a joy to work with - easy to deal with, responsive and on top of everything. Highly recommended.

Terri's professionalism and exuberance made the process an easy and seamless experience. Thanks Terri :)
