Client Testimonials

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. Signed Terry and Barbara Smith.

We had a fantastic experience working with Terri Robinson. From the start, she really listened to our ideas and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Her knowledge of the market was impressive, and she provided us with multiple options that not only fit our brief but also opened our eyes to possibilities we hadn’t considered. Terri gave solid, honest advice about the current market, which helped us make confident and informed decisions throughout the process. We also appreciated how she brought in her team to support and offer creative ideas—it truly felt like we had a whole group of experts helping us. We couldn’t recommend Terri more highly—professional, personable, and truly dedicated to helping us find the right fit.

Purchase with ease. We worked with Sharon from Real, Kerikeri to purchase a property in Kerikeri. Sharon was incredibly responsive, always returning my calls and emails promptly. She was extremely professional and helped us through the whole process with ease. Her skills were excellent, and she ultimately helped us secured our purchase that exceeded our expectations. She kept us informed throughout the entire process and made the experience as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable real estate agent.

Highest level across the board! From the get go our experience with Terri was enjoyable, and really summed up all we could have hoped for in a professional helping us secure the right home for us. Highly knowledgeable of the area and neighbours, as well as the property market we had been hunting in for over a year. We were very pleased to observe she knew her stuff. If she didn't have the answers, she got them for us very quickly. Terri was clear and honest through the whole proceeding. Her communication and response with emails, calls and texts was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better person.

We were very happy with Andrea’s work. . Always available and very reliable. Great to work with.

Fantastic Service. Great to work with. Provided sound advise and was always available to talk if/when we needed to. Highly recommend and would work with Andrea again.

Andrea is a delight to work with. She is a very positive, determined and most professional agent. I definitely would work with Andrea again

Terri restored my faith in using an agent, rather than trying to navigate the complexities of the sale process myself.

Nice guy. Amazingly easy sell. One and a half weeks and only two views and it was sold.

Pete did a good job showing us around two properties we had been viewing on line. Once we had decided which one we wanted, he took us through the next steps as the last time we bought a house the 'net was not used as it is today.
