Steph

Highly rate Rachel. It was a pleasure working with Rachel. She achieved 3 offers on our property within 4 weeks on the market. She is so easy to deal with, responsive and positive. Thank you!

Guy & Rosemary

We enjoyed a positive experience with Rachel albeit selling our property into what turned out to be a very difficult (and buyers) market. Rachel was always gracious, always positive, always happy to meet with us to discuss progress, and demonstrated strong communication skills. Her backup administrator was efficient and effective. Thank you Rachel for your help in selling our house.

Richard & Audrey

Outstanding Result. Rachel is a great communicator, kept us informed throughout the process, and provided great advice and knowledge. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel and will definitely work with her in the future. I could not be happier with the result.

Ryan

Pro Active and Helpful. Great communicator. Professional yet friendly. From our first dealings with Rachel, we found her to be very friendly and keen to find us our ideal property. She came across as genuine and down to earth, with a great knowledge of the local area. I felt like we were not just a number, but that it mattered to her that she made a great connection with us and found us the right property. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Judy & Walter

Excellent. Recently brought a house in Papamoa with Rachel. She was really helpful and responsive at all the times.

Bharat

5 Star Service! Rachel provided fantastic service and regular communication in the marketing and resulting sale of my property. Her strategic planning of the path from listing to sale was navigated efficiently, enabling the best possible price in the shortest possible timeframe. Rachel's expert knowledge of the market meant that if a particular strategy wasn't yielding results it was adjusted quickly to meet the buyer feedback and her sound and professional advice always hit the mark. Thanks Rachel, for fantastic work in achieving an excellent sale!

Grant

Sold and bought in a 2 week period. Rachel was brilliant to work with and understood my needs when selecting a new property, which is now unconditional, about 2 weeks after selling my existing property! Her connections within the RE industry provided for quick and easy viewings and helped narrow down potential properties quickly so as to avoid open homes on unsuitable options. Thanks Rachel!!

Grant

Quick and on the ball. Rachel knew what I was looking for and when this property came up she got us in for a preview before the first open home - this gave me time to make some quick decisions for a quick purchase - perfect.

Amanda

Professionalism 10/10. After searching for a home for two years and dealing with many real estate agents, Rachel has by far been the best. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care stood out. If I ever decide to sell in the future, there’s no doubt I’ll be asking Rachel to handle the sale.

Great Service. Rachel is a fantastic agent, house was only listed for 2 weeks and sold for the asking price, very happy with the service that Rachel provided and would highly recommend her services if you want a fast and hassle free sale.

Simon

Thorough, Professional and Honest. From our first request for an appraisal to the sale of our land at Auction our experience with Rachel has been amazing. Rachel has made the experience of selling seamless and I would have no problem recommending her to my family and friends. We would use her services in the future if we ever need a real estate agent. We are happy to have sold through Rachel and we know that she did everything she could to make sure we received the absolute best price we could. Selling land in NZ while living in Australia was a daunting prospect but we could not be happier with the service the Rachel and her team provided.

Tarati & Steve

Craig was professional, friendly and so easy to deal with. He made the whole process stress free and quick! communicated well and kept us updated throughout. Would highly recommend Craig to buy and sell again! Thanks for all your hard work. We can’t wait to move into our new home!

Garry & Anna

"Simply the Best" is how I would describe my recent experience of working alongside Craig and Corinne culminating in the successful sale of my family home. Trust, openness, honesty and respect being core values I have admired and appreciated during my lifetime and can say without hesitation Craig and Corinne have all these qualities and more, therefore, richly deserve to be rewarded with ongoing success both in work and life.

Laura

Craig and Corinne were very professional yet personable, which made us feel at ease during the whole selling process. Their hands-on approach led to a quick sale. We can't recommend them both highly enough.

L & N Swan

I have just sold my home with Craig and Corinne and had an excellent experience. From the very beginning Craig was personable, calm and confident about the entire process, which really put me at ease. My property is quite bespoke, and Craig was honest in his appraisal and I trusted his tailored marketing and sales approach. It was great to know Craig had the flexibility to market my property in a way that would maximise interest rather than being restricted to a cookie cutter approach. His knowledge and expertise were clear, and he always took the time to explain everything in detail, keeping me informed at every step. Communication was great with both Craig and Corinne, with Corinne working diligently behind the scenes making sure everything is in place for open homes and viewings. They were both always available to answer questions or provide reassurance when needed. I felt fully supported throughout the sale and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had offers coming in within a week of listing which was a dream scenario! Thanks Craig and Corinne, you have my 100% recommendation.

N Philips

We bought our home with Brent and were really impressed with him so when it came time to sell we knew he was the guy for the job. We knew his knowledge and experience in real estate was second to none and he made sure we were very comfortable with the selling process and the open homes. Within two months of the marketing plan Brent and Jasmine had found our buyer and we are now freed up to start the new year in our new location. We couldn’t be happier!

Tim & Erica

Dealing with Craig was such an easy, seamless experience and we are delighted with the outcome. He kept us well informed and made the selling process of our property a breeze. He explored all avenues to find the right buyer for our house. He was also great when purchasing our other property and very accommodating. We would recommend Craig to anyone thinking of buying or selling property.

Dean & Juanita Hollamby

Fair to say Craig Orr is one of the good guys you can depend on, both as a professional and all round good man. Buying houses can be a very stressful time. Dealing with Craig was a great experience (timely opinions and thoughts). I would gladly recommend any punter to consider Craig, whether buying or selling their property.

Brian & Chris Tuiavii

We have had a great result in this difficult market. Craig went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for us. Craig’s experience in the industry really was an asset. I would highly recommend Craig Orr and Trueman and Co to anyone wanting to sell their home

Astrid Rudd

Having such an enthusiastic agent who really understood what type of property I was looking for made the whole process of buying extremely simple and lots of fun. I would recommend Lisa Zawitkoski to anyone looking to purchase or sell in this market. A top notch realestate agent. Thanks Lisa, from a very satisfied customer.

Elena Moorhead

Lisa Zawitkoski was recommended to us by a trusted friend to sell our home and help us find and purchase the next. No small feat! Lisa was the consummate professional throughout the process. Down to earth and honest. We couldnt have been more pleased with the result and readily endorse her services.

Kris & Kristy

I have found Lisa to be a great communicator and very organized. Helping me through a difficult transition in my life. Very professional and a nice person as well. Doing her job in a timely and efficient manner. I wish her the very best in the future she is a credit to her company.

Pat Ryan

Lisa has been so fantastic to deal with, both when we were buyers and vendors. She is on the mark with knowing the market, and she works very hard to make sure she understands what we want. Most importantly, she is genuine and very personable.

Chris & Alex

Lisa offered a thoroughly inspiring focus on leading the sale of my property. She emailed everyone and I had an amazing amount of interest with 4 people bidding at auction in the end, despite being in lockdown. Lisa was as always professional.

Claudia Carratu

From the very start Lisa's personality was engaging, forthright and she exuded honesty. The whole process for me has been a seamless, easy and wonderful experience. Not one ounce of stress. Lisa was always available when I had questions and I never had many because her explanations of the process and the information she provided was on point. I was 100% supported by Lisa throughout to the final bang of the hammer and I could not recommend her more.

Kaywyn

Having Lisa on board to sell my house was a blessing. Her knowledge of the market and her help with making my open home more desirable to buyers was exceptional. If I were selling again in Tauranga Lisa would be the first port of call.

Cedric

Lisa was fantastic to work with, giving me sound advice in terms of marketing and strategy. She also took great care of my tenants, making the whole process as easy as possible for them while ensuring the sale process proceeded as planned. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lisa.

Denise Anderson

This is the second property Brent has sold for us and we wouldn't hesitate to enlist his help again. Brent and his team are thoroughly professional. Everything was entirely seamless and we enjoyed our chats along the way. The property sold very fast allowing us to move on to our next adventure, we are happy thank you.

Dave and Debra

We had seen that Brent and his team had launched Trueman & co, and having previously engaged with Brent we knew they were the right team to list our lifestyle property in Te Puna. The photographer took awesome photos to show all the best features of the property. These were used in an extensive digital campaign and within 3 weeks on the market we had sold the property. Brent and his team were great communicators and were clear and realistic about their expectations. We would not hesitate to contact Trueman & Co for any future property listings.

Matt & Lara

We had an absolutely fantastic experience selling our home with Craig Orr. With Craig’s wealth of experience in the real estate industry and Corinne's flair for design and style - we knew we were in very capable hands. We were especially grateful for the preliminary support that was offered to identify what needed to complete the house and how to style our home to maximise its full potential. The honest and transparent way Craig worked with us was refreshing and ensured we understood our homes value throughout the process. We highly recommend the team of Craig and Corinne.

Ben & Rachelle

Craig has a gentle demeanour and is easy to deal with during an often difficult selling process. We found him to be an honest agent who obviously holds integrity in high regard. He is professional, direct and intuitive, allowing people to talk freely without butting in and offering up his opinions. We would deal with Craig and recommend him in a heartbeat, a great guy who knows his clients. 10 out of 10.

Amanda & Andrew

It is hard to find the words to describe Craig and Corinne’s dedication to their profession. You sense from day one that they want the best for you, and they will work damn hard to achieve it. They sold my property within a very short time frame and exceeded all expectations. Following this they then assisted me in purchasing the house of my dreams. Within only three weeks I had sold, bought and moved into my new home all with their amazing support. They are warm, friendly and genuine, such special people, what a team! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering selling.

Amanda

We were so grateful to have had Craig running the auction campaign to sell our family lifestyle property of 16 years. He was available every step of the way and his understanding of real estate in all aspects made the process a pleasure for us. We appreciated his approachable and caring nature with a no pressure attitude. Thankyou Craig!

Ross & Kay

Over the years we have bought and sold quite a few properties but at no stage have the agents performed at such a high degree as our recent sale. Craig Orr with his personal assistant Corinne Brooks put together an excellent marketing plan which covered all the different features of our property. So much so, that our accountant questioned if we really wanted to sell it. Craig kept us well informed and was a great guy to work with as we travelled down the road to a successful outcome. At no stage did we feel pressured into making a decision against our better judgement, as Craig quietly put forward different options that would make our property attractive to a potential purchaser. We would have no hesitation in recommending Craig of a person of very high integrity.

Colin & Jan

We can’t thank Craig and his team enough for their expert knowledge about the market, how to successfully showcase our property and subsequently deliver a fantastic result.”

Lisa & Ian

We would highly recommend Craig Orr, if you are looking for an honest and transparent agent, who is a calming influence throughout what is normally a stressful process.

Thanks Craig!

Shay & Kat

We were very impressed with Craig Orr. He was professional and helpful, always keeping us informed and making sure we understood what was happening. Our property sold very quickly and we attribute this to Craig knowing the best way to do things and working hard to getting us a great result. We couldn’t have had a better agent and we recommend him to anyone looking to sell.

Carl & Christine

Craig is a truly awesome agent who was always there for us through one of life’s most stressful experiences. His attention to detail, knowledge and ability to communicate across all levels made this experience pleasurable for us. We would be more than happy to recommend Craig to any potential clients moving forward.

He gained our utmost trust through his honesty, professionalism and personal approach. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone wanting to purchase or sell property.

Troy & Bryar

We were recommended by our friend to list our property with Craig Orr as he was the best agent in Te Puna. He was known for being honest and spot on with his advice. That is exactly what we got. We would highly recommend Craig to anyone wishing to sell their property.
