Client Testimonials

As a Kiwi currently living abroad, I was unfamiliar with the process of purchasing property in New Zealand. From the very beginning, Terri was by my side—knowledgeable, patient, and the calming voice you need on the end of the phone. She understood exactly what I was looking for and, incredibly, found my dream property within 24 hours! Her calm and capable guidance made the negotiation process swift and stress-free. Most importantly, I found Terri to be truly trustworthy, which made all the difference when navigating the purchase from overseas. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent.

Terri came to us with an offer that needed some work. She was able to get the result we wanted without any fuss or stress soon after this initial offer. We are so impressed with her approach. Definitely value her expertise.

Sharon and Real Property are just that, real, real people that know how to treat their clients with honest good old fashioned respect. Sharon was a total pleasure to have as our agent.

We had a great experience with Pete at Real Kerikeri. His advice was practical and encouraging. Amazing communication throughout and we received wonderful support from his whole team. Thank you for helping us sell in a challenging market!

Sharon made my life 100x easier with purchasing a property from another country. Very helpful, experienced and just overall lovely to deal with. Can’t thank her enough!

Easy to deal with. Puts a lot of energy into supporting the sales process.

Andrea was very welcoming and not at all pushy. She was professional in her dealings with me and if she didn’t immediately know the answer to my questions she found out and got back to me in a timely manner. Nothing was too much trouble for Andrea. She followed everything up right to settlement date and beyond. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Andrea to any prospective property purchaser and I wish her all the best in her chosen career.

Thanks for the assistance you & your wider team have provided in achieving the desired result all round & obviously in particular to Sharon who has navigated this success through some uncharted challenges for us both. I believe this is the last stepping stone for me to finally now be able to move on with my positive life.

Pete is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He really made the whole experience of buying a smooth one. He helped the whole way through the process and I really appreciate his patience and knowledge.

We had the pleasure of working with Pete Gentil during our recent move from Wairarapa to
Kerikeri, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Pete took
the time to genuinely get to know us and understand exactly what we were looking for in a
home. Every property he showed us was thoughtfully selected and a great fit—he never
wasted our time with anything unsuitable.
Pete really respected our limited availability when we visited Kerikeri, always making the
most of each trip by lining up multiple promising properties. He was never pushy, always
upbeat, and maintained a consistently positive and encouraging approach throughout our 9-
month search.
Thanks to Pete’s dedication and care, what could have been a stressful process became a
smooth and even enjoyable journey. We’re so grateful for his help and wouldn’t hesitate to
recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the area.

We loved dealing with Andrea, we found her to be open and honest and punctual. We loved her communication and feedback and would not hesitate to recommend her to you we knew our house and sale were in good hands- thank you Andrea - love your work! The Maclennans

Amazing communication always picks up the phone and checks in weekly. clear and direct property feedback works in well with Tenants no issues there. we were selling remotely, and Sharon went the extra mile organizing gardening etc. Highly recommended

Terri first met us onsite at our first viewing with a warm and welcoming manner. she made every effort to present the property, & subsequent properties with professionalism & attention to detail. She always encouraged informational questions from us, walked us through every part of the house & garden, then suggested we do a property tour on our own. All our follow-up queries were responded to promptly, nothing was to much trouble for her.

We are extremely grateful for the support and professionalism provided by Andrea and the REAL Team. Andrea did not hesitate to take us to several viewings until we found our dream home. Both Andrea and Terri ensured this was a seamless purchase. We found Andrea to be very honest with her descriptions of properties including all positive and negative aspects. This quickly led us to trust Andrea and develop the relationship. Andrea was patient and there was no pressure; in any regard. We would like to thank all of the REAL Team involved with our home purchase. We highly recommend Andrea and this Real Estate Agency.

When we decided to sell our second home in Kerikeri, Teri Robinson and the team at Real immediately came to mind. Teri had been instrumental in the sale of our previous property in Kerikeri and from our initial meeting through to the marketing of our home it was obvious we were dealing with a professional of the highest caliber. Communication, the life blood of success in all forms of life and work was evident from the very beginning of the marketing process. Having worked as a divisional general manager in a large international organisation for many years, along with running my own company and employing many professional people, experience enables me to make a reliable judgement call. with this in mind when my wife and i decided to sell our current property in Kerikeri we knew immediately who to contact. Once again Teri did not disappoint and it was not long before the agreement and sale was complete. We have no hesitation in recommending the team at Real Kerikeri and in particular Teri Robinson.
