Thank you for the rental appraisal you prepared for my clients. In my 8 years as a Mortgage Broker I have asked for and received literally hundreds of appraisals. I have never received such a comprehensive and well presented appraisal as the one you sent. Congratulations on such fine work, and for making my job easier.

Working with Rachel has been one of the most pleasing experiences I have had in a long time. She is knowledgeable, exceptionally pro-active, helpful and definitely exceeded our expectations in more ways than one! We would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel as a Property Manager.
(Landlord, Northland)
We recently had the good fortune to be represented by Ms Rachel Rogers of goodGround Real Estate in our negotiations to purchase a property in Waipu, Northland. As we are not presently located in New Zealand and were therefore unable to inspect the property ourselves, it was doubly important for us to have an agent who was willing to make the extra effort on our behalf.
Rachel surpassed our expectations. Not only was she extremely supportive and efficient throughout every stage of the negotiations personally organising a building inspection, LIM report and related quotes, as well as liaising with our lawyer and connecting us with mortgage and rental managers , her extensive local knowledge, combined with her expertise in legal matters such as council regulations, enabled us to proceed with confidence and a minimum of stress.
When we did have moments of doubt, Rachel was always there to smooth the way with endless patience and humanity listening to our concerns, providing extra information, practical advice and positive encouragement when required, and truly sharing the emotional ups and downs of every aspect of the process with us.
What impressed us above all was Rachel’s undeviating honesty and sense of justice. At no time did we feel that she was out to make a sale come what may. With both parties best interests at heart, she concentrated her efforts on ensuring that everyone involved was well informed and fairly represented throughout our negotiations.
In her own words, Making sure seller and buyer are happy . . . and that all parties are moving forward in a positive manner to the end result (of a home going from one happy party to another) is what makes a good real estate specialist, not just an agent. And that is precisely what we believe Rachel to be in every sense of the words: a true real estate specialist.

Rachel did a great job getting us as the purchaser and the vendor to a signed and unconditional agreement. Rachel worked with both parties rather than just representing one and was highly professional, personable and supportive throughout the negotiation and subsequent financing process. Rachel earned every dollar of her commission from this transaction. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachel to any prospective property buyer or seller.
Top Qualities: Great Results, High Integrity, Creative

Rachel and James were both most helpful, pleasant and professional. They provided all the information I needed and didn’t use any of the “tricks of the trade” (i.e didn’t try to cajole, pressure or coerce me). Dealing with them was a pleasure. The acted as a good team should.

Very impressed by Rachel & James’ determination to sell our house. Their hard work paid off for us and got us a very satisfying result.

Rachel impressed me from the first potential buyer viewing when she was able to relay the benefits and uniqueness of our home with accurate wording and detail. This is no easy task with an alternative building. Rachel maintained regular updates and was mindful of the fact that, although we were very motivated to sell, the property remained first and foremost, a family home and she ensured clear boundaries were kept to respect this. Thank you Rachel for keeping it real!

I recently had Rachel Rogers from goodGround Real Estate inspect my property to assess its suitability as a rental proposition, with maybe a shared tenancy in mind. I found Rachel to be totally professional in her observations, delivered in a pleasant and friendly manner. A few suggestions she made reflected her experience in this field. I think Rachel would be an excellent choice for anyone seeking advice regarding property rentals.

I wanted to send an email to express my thanks for your efficiency and your help in regards to finding a rental property. I have found one that is suitable for my needs. But wanted to acknowledge that compared to others I have dealt with. Your consistency, quick response, and help made correspondence with you a pleasure and an A+ effort in comparison. Thank you so much.
