Rachel was super easy to work with, her communication was excellent which allowed us to feel informed and aware of the potential buyers. Her suggestions and understanding of the market led to us selling at auction in less than 2 months. She also answered any questions we had on buying a house helping us to sell and buy within the same week. Highly recommend Eves and Rachel for selling your property.

I've known Rachel and worked with her to find our new home for the past 3+ years. Her experience and how we resonated made me loyal to only want to deal with her when viewing properties. This made the process easy as comparisons and her knowing my requirements gave me confidence in my decision making. Her key relationships with other agents across other agencies ultimately proved to be another attribute to finding success. I would recommend anyone to use a buyers agent along the home buying journey, and in particular Rachel, as she really is the best in the game!

Rachel was awesome from start to finish. We were pretty inexperienced in the home buying process and Rach made sure we understood everything and was always on the other end of the phone when we needed her. She was also honest and gave clear-cut advice, even if this was not always what we wanted to hear. Nothing was too much hassle and she always had time for us. She made the whole process really smooth and we felt at ease knowing that she was in our corner!
When we win lotto we will be heading straight to Rach for our next house!
Thank you so much Rach!

Rachel was the agent when we brought our property, so we decided to use her again when we sold.

Rachel has been of so much help from the start she understood what I was looking for and always kept me informed on new property's that jumped on the market and suited what I was looking for. Once I found the right house she went out of her way to make the whole experience of buying a house on an auction as comfortable, easy-going and exciting as possible. I couldn't recommend Rachel more to anyone who was looking into buying a property. Thank you very much for making someone feel so supported during a big process.

We had been in the market for our first home for 10+ months but lost many multi offers, auctions and Pbn properties. We got in touch with Rachel, and within a matter of days she mentioned this home was coming on the market. She knew it was exactly what we were looking for. Rachel educated us and gave great professional advice on how to put our best foot forward to secure this home we fell in love with. Rachel made the process as stress-free and seamless as possible. Rachel has an abundance of knowledge to offer, great communication and efficiency. I highly recommend getting in touch - she’s great with working for You!

While searching for a property in Papamoa I received a referral for Rachel to act on my behalf as a purchasing agent. Rachel's extensive real estate knowledge of the area was invaluable in helping me secure a property and made the whole process stress free! Rachel worked tirelessly with the selling agent both pre and post purchase to ensure all aspects of the process were covered and any issues dealt with quickly and efficiently. I would recommend Rachel unreservedly if you're in the market to either buy or sell a property, especially if you value a knowledgeable, dedicated and personable approach. Thanks Rachel!

Rachel impressed us with her professionalism and positive energy which is why we chose her to be our agent. She worked hard on and did a fabulous job of producing our sales video and we were very pleased with the end result. She kept in touch with the people who came through our open homes with the result being a quick sale after just three weeks on the market. She is a lovely person, very genuine, positive and hard working and we would use her services again.

First met Rachel at the open home on the off chance seeing the sign as we were driving past. Friendly, professional but personable from the get go, with no pressure she was fabulous to work with. Kept me continually updated throughout and helped me navigate the whole process at both ends seamlessly which made the whole nerve wracking experience of moving to a totally different region less stressful. Highly recommend her!

Rachel went above and beyond to sell my house. Even in a very tough housing market she was still able to achieve great results. Her extensive market knowledge was a great help. I would definitely recommend Rachel as a real estate agent to sell your house.

Without Rachel we would never have got our house on the market when we did, she got us quotes and met them at the house as we were out of town. Rachel really went the extra mile for us, more than any other estate agent ever has. Would definitely get Rachel again as an Agent buying or selling.
Ross & Hilary

We listed our house for sale and within weeks the market had taken a steep dive. No one was buying or selling. After minimal queries and lackluster open homes, Rachel deployed her sales skills to negotiate a sale with a cash buyer. We would have walked away after an initial offer that wasn't even in the ballpark. Rachel expertly maneuvered both parties until we met in the middle. We are now enjoying a new chapter of life in the country. Rachel's advice on campaigns, advertising, how to present the home etc., exceeded our expectations. Her strong grasp of the local and national real estate market was apparent which created a strong element of trust. Her communication was prompt and thorough. Rachel's warm and bubbly personality made it a delight to work with her. We highly recommend her services.

"Rachel assisted us in finding our home after relocating to the Bay of Plenty. The support we received was second to none.

I have known Rachel for over three years now. She was part of the Eves team that sold us our house in Papamoa Beach in 2016. Rachel made herself available whenever we needed something and made the purchase so easy from negotiations to possession.
Recently I enlisted Rachel’s services again to sell the same house. The professionalism displayed by Rachel and the sincerity in her service was tenfold. Rachel has an air of confidence that makes you relax throughout the entire process. Communication is Rachel’s strongest quality. There was not a day went by that I did not know what was happening in the four week campaign. The photos and video organised by Rachel were brilliant and her quirky ideas for staging my house were of such benefit.
I would highly recommend Rachel for anyone looking at buying or selling a property. I have sold many, many houses over the years and Rachel has been the most trusted real estate agent I have had.Annette Heron

Rachel was great to deal with and made purchasing a breeze. She was so helpful and responsive, and really honest and authentic. It was the 3rd time in a row that Rachel sold the house we purchased- testament to the fact that people want to work with her over and over. If we look to sell in future, we’ll definitely give Rachel a call.

Rachel did an amazing job helping us to sell our house in Papamoa.

We are very grateful to Rachel and Eves and do not hesitate to give our unreserved recommendation.

In Rachel Martin we found a breath of fresh air, following an unsuccessful 90 days with another company.
Rachel promised us a vigorous campaign utilising her extensive knowledge, backed by a company with very strong links in our area. This, together with her pleasant personality, persistence and excellent communication skills, resulted in her delivering a very positive result for us. Rachel has our unreserved recommendations as a very effective client friendly agent.Glenn & Helen Johnston

We were for the most part absent vendors; throughout the whole process Rachel was positive and upbeat with a fantastic can do attitude; "I can do that" "I'll sort that for you" "leave it with me and I'll get back to you" became very familiar phrases as Rachel went ahead solving and sorting various things for us. We were thrilled when Rachel brought us a multi offer contract for the sale of our home, a great result! Thank you Rachel.

Rachel is the epitome of a client-focused real estate agent. She has a delightfully upbeat personality, is friendly, professional and extremely accommodating. We appreciated that she was always there for us, no matter the day or hour. She listened to our requirements and went the extra mile to find us a great property that fitted our needs. We have been in our home for a few months now and often comment on how thankful we are that Rachel found this home for us. She made our buying journey a pleasure and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent who cares. Thank you Rachel.

Selling our property with Rachel was an excellent experience. She made the whole process effortless, enjoyable and it ended with an incredible result!

Rachel listened to us she knew what we wanted, where we wanted it and how much we wanted to spend. We were looking at properties and the ink hadn't even dried on the sale agreement, she wanted us to have first option! The house we bought was only on the market a matter of hours. She rang us at 6pm at night and told us it was worth a look it, won’t last long on the market and met us there 15 minutes later. We had a contract on it two hours later (the property ended up with a backup offer the next day) and here we are. It was what we wanted, where we wanted it and we didn’t go over budget. We would use Rachel again, no hesitation! She worked tirelessly for us, both buying and selling! At the end of the day that’s what you want!

Rachel had been really helpful in acting for us, she was there even during her holiday and time was not an object. Despite all the odd hours that we needed her help, she was always able to find solution and be there. At times the negotiation was difficult, but Rachel worked tirelessly and never gave. We were able to secure a house within our budget. She is definitely an asset, with the right attitude and customer service. It has been a pleasure to have her act for us.

I met Rachel whilst driving around open homes on the hunt for my next home. In the time I searched and researched the market I met many sales people both Real Estate Agents and those representing local building companies. Rachel was one of the nicest I met. She even went to the trouble of emailing EVES auction results every Friday to assist. Although the house I purchased wasn’t one she or EVES had listed I would still like to recommend Rachel to other prospective purchasers.

Rachel has a very good ability to read people and understand their needs and this provides a good foundation for assisting them to solve their problems. Rachel has displayed an ability to comprehend complex situations and identify core circumstances that could be addressed to solve problems and ensure that the interests of both the person and the Army were met.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Rachel since 2012. We first met through our daughters netball team, which Rachel was coaching. She has an infectious enthusiasm for life and had a positive inclusive style of coaching the girls, where they all looked up to her and respected her. She knew how to get the best out of the girls, all the while making them believe in their own ability.

Our quest for a new home in Papamoa was greatly assisted by Rachel’s dedication. She has always been businesslike, a good communicator and friendly in her dealings with us. Rachel has made the process much less stressful for us as we were not living in the area at the time of our search for a new home. We would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel to our friends and to anyone requiring the services of a very good and competent real estate agent.
