Fantastic experience: Thanks you Sara, We were very happy with the service we received throughout the sale of our house. The process had a few challenges along the way, but our agent kept us informed, communicated clearly and worked hard to keep everything moving. They were professional, approachable and realistic with their advice, and we always felt that our best interests were being looked after. Most importantly, they achieved a great result for us and made what can be a stressful process much easier. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, communicative and genuinely committed to getting the best outcome for their clients.
Fantastic experience: Kelvin Winnie and the Tremain's team marketed the property at exactly the right level to achieve a rapid sale in what is a rather subdued market. Their communication and level of professionalism couldn't be faulted. Thanks for the great result!
Fantastic experience: I turned up to view the house with no idea what I was doing. From the beginning Marie Ewens was kind, approachable and put me at ease. She was very excited to help me get this house I wanted, she had all the answers and guidance I needed. Impeccable, prompt communication and speaking in terms I could understand. Great negotiation skills helped me get a price I’m happy with. So professional and very genuine. I’m so grateful to Marie and could not have asked anything more from her! Thanks so much Marie for everything
Fantastic experience: Excellent from start to end. . From start to finish, Nathan Abel made selling my home a genuinely comfortable experience. He’s knowledgeable and understanding, always ready with thoughtful answers, and his unique background gave me real confidence in the sale. I couldn’t have asked for more.
Fantastic experience: We trust and love working with Kelvin. A great guy in a great suit everytime. Until our next adventure Kelvin, thankyou.
Fantastic experience: Thoughtful thorough and efficient
Fantastic experience: Bought a property via Nathan Abel: Very responsive, happy to answer any questions, and arranged extra viewings; signed contract/negotiations in person which was a nice touch.
Fantastic experience: 5 stars - stress-free sale. Nathan was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start he took the time to understand exactly what we needed, kept everything clear and simple, and was always one step ahead. He's proactive, realistic and a great communicator - we never felt stressed or in the dark. It was obvious he was genuinely working hard to get us the best outcome. We couldn’t recommend Nathan enough.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is an exceptional agent who worked closely with us in every step of the purchase of our new Napier property.
Fantastic experience: Sara was exceptional at every stage of our selling and buying process. Sara was the perfect person to help us with selling our home. From the beginning she went above and beyond for us. She listened to us, communicated every step of the way, talked us through everything and was very patient with us, while being present and active in the process and steps to sell our home. No question or request was a problem. Her communication and commitment to us as vendors was exceptional. We appreciate everything she has done for us in this journey. Sara had honest realistic market knowledge and tangible next steps through every stage. Her professional yet personal approach really suited us. She was thorough with the follow up with potential buyers and worked to make sure we had good offers presented. Sara is enjoyable to chat with and work with, making it fun during a time that can frustrating. We have had the added bonus of Sara going above and beyond to find us our next home. We cannot recommend Sara enough. Thanks from Hannah, Simon and Family.
Fantastic experience: An absolute pleasure to work with. Caroline was very helpful & very friendly. Nothing was a problem. Highly recommend if buying or selling your property
Fantastic experience: Trust, Knowledgeable and genuinely had my best interests at heart. We had the pleasure of working with Nathan Abel twice now - the first time was when we bought our home 4yrs ago, and recently when selling it - and we are glad we did. We chose to work with Nathan and his team Laura and Josh because of the trust aspect, and they didn't disappoint. From start to finish, everything was explained clearly, all questions were answered and the updates were exceptional at every step. What I thought would be a stressful process was straightforward and manageable with their help. Nathan's knowledge of the market, professionalism and calm approach gave me real confidence at every stage. Someone who is not only great at what they do, but genuinely has your best interest at heart. I am extremely grateful for his support and the support of Laura and Josh! I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thankyou for the positive experience :)
Negative experience: I would question Kelvin Winnie's ethics. He also lacks confidence in his own sales ability. Move on.
Negative experience: Unfortunately I selected Leon first and then got landed with Sarah. Leon couldn't stop lying repeatedly and did not respect my wishes. Next was Sarah. So fake it was uncomfortable. No stars would have been more appropriate tbh.
Fantastic experience: Kelvin was really easy to deal with and a great communicator. He explained the process really well and helped us along the way. I would happily list with Kelvin again
Fantastic experience: Marie was amazing to work with! Super friendly and replies to texts efficiently. She organised private viewings and builder report for us in no time with there being a tenant in the house. She helped us immensely with buying our first home
Fantastic experience: Committed to the process of delivering a good result. Straight talking and supportive. Worked with us and our tenants to ensure a fair and transparent result.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Service & Great Value! Working with Nathan was an absolute pleasure, Nathan and his team were nothing short of exceptional, extremely professional with extensive knowledge of the current market and they kept me up to date through every step along the way. I couldn't recommend Nathan and his team any higher! Well done Nathan, great job!
Fantastic experience: Excellent to work with. We first dealt with Kelvin when looking at Apartments in Napier, we didn't find what we wanted on our first visit but Kelvin contacted us when another apartment came on to the market that he thought we would consider. Kelvin showed us through and spent a couple of hours with us, we had made our minds up from the minute that we walked in, that this was the apartment for us. Kelvin handled the negotiation process very professionally and was always available to respond to any questions we had. We were in a position to make an unconditional offer and were delighted when we won the tender. Kelvin was good enough to arrange for us to come up to Napier and spend a few hours at the apartment measuring rooms for a clearer picture of sizes. The owner of the apartment met us on site and was good enough to allow us to stay on our own for as long as we liked. Kelvin has been so easy to deal with, nothing is ever too much trouble and he dealt very professionally with our broker and our Lawyer. We were very surprised and delighted to receive a gift from Tremains of a beautiful mohair throw - beats a bottle of champagne any day. Thanks Kelvin and Tremains Napier, you've been great to deal with.
Fantastic experience: Honest and professional. Kelvin has fantastic market knowledge and sales experience. He was always cheerful and patient and took time to explain what the best approach was to get the outcome we wanted. In a depressed market Kelvin used all his experience to get the sale. On top of Kelvins professionalism was the fact that he is very honest and a genuinely nice guy, easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Kelvin to friends and family.
Positive experience: Emotional Roller Coast Well Managed . It was a long and stressful process from the start to settlement. Caroline was very supportive and honest throughout the entire process. Our first offer did not fall through due to financing not being approved, which delayed the sale of the house. Despite the setback, Caroline remained calm and kept me regularly informed, including updates on a new buyer. It was a long and sometimes stressful process right up to the last minute, but Caroline consistently followed up with the builders to ensure everything was sorted on time
Fantastic experience: Initially Sebastian Kiriona from Tremains was a referral through another property he was selling, and as we are not from Napier we took him at face value and on recommendation. And to be fair I’m glad we did. Seb has been an outstanding agent covering all the bases and leaving nothing out but also making the process fairly simple. The house sold in 3 days and the price expectation was accurate. Not over estimating and then being disappointed Seb was pretty much on the mark. He also helped with subjects that weren’t in scope to ensure we could go to market. And whilst you would think that’s just an agent wanting to get the sale we felt Seb was very sincere in his approach, given also this was deceased estate and not the easiest of times for the vendors. A job very well done.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely a breeze! Nathan made me feel so comfortable with handing him my keys to the house and basically told me that he would look after everything. He is true to his word, a man who sees things through. If you want your house sold with the same goals aligned, do it with Nathan Abel.
Fantastic experience: Authentic Professionalism. Once again, Nathan Abel has professionally and efficiently managed the sale of one of our properties. Reliable and honest engagement made the process hassle-free and easy. I highly recommend Nathan as an agent of choice.
Fantastic experience: Easy to deal with . Hi Nathen Thanks for making the buying process easy. You took time out of your day to show us around with a private viewing as well as making the offer process easy. Thanks again
Fantastic experience: Just fantastic . We had both Nathan and Josh Abel selling our home on Wellesley rd which for us was a nervous time to sell Both Abel’s we’re there with answers to every question ,every nervous sigh they noticed they made us feel at ease Just a fantastic experience all the way. Thank you to both Nathan and Josh for sticking with us through this journey
Fantastic experience: Excellent service provided by Kelvin. He went the extra mile to ensure I was happy and all was good. Thanks heaps Kelvin. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Honest reliable and trustworthy we reccomend Nathan Able as a agent. And look forward to signing him up again for future sales.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful business to deal with. They invest their time and energy in delivering you the right outcome. Cant speak highly enough of the Service Tremains provide, or how much their team cares.
Fantastic experience: Seasoned professional with great communication and results. Kelvin Winnie is very professional in what he does. He communicates just the right amount, keeping you informed every step of the way. He is prepared to go the extra mile when needed e.g. liasing with tenants, asking other tenants to move cars, meeting people out of normal hours etc. He has good knowledge e.g. of ground leases, which was essential for our sale. And this makes him come across as trustworth. He's everything you'd hope for in an agent.
Fantastic experience: ⭐Caroline Hughes ⭐ Caroline, has been an absolute pleasure to work with on our journey to purchasing our first home. From the start, Caroline has shown incredible flexibility, often meeting us outside of work hours to go over contracts and arrange open home visits. She always prioritised our best interests, taking the time to understand what was most important to us and guiding us through every step of the process. We are truly grateful and deeply appreciate her time and effort in helping us find our perfect home. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care have made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless. We highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and supportive real estate agent! - Kim and William
Fantastic experience: All good
Fantastic experience: A stress free experience with Kelvin - great advice, guidance, communication and quick sale. Kelv provided us with excellent advice and guidance with the sale of our investment property. His knowledge of the current property market and who our potential buyers were was really helpful in us making the important decision on how best to sell our property. Most importantly he listened to our specific circumstances and we a made plan from there with his guidance. When you don’t sell your property often it’s important to have someone who doesn’t use jargon and terms that you don’t understand - Kelvin showed us respect by explaining the process to us in terms we could understand which meant we could make an informed decision on which approach to take with the sale of our property. We never felt rushed and his communication with us through the whole process was faultless. He followed through on every arrangement we made with him ie., follow up phone calls or meeting up. We would highly recommend Kelvin and we will definitely use him again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Excellent! Our experience with Kelvin has been completely successful. Kelvin was able to help us get ready to sell at lightening speed - which we needed to do - in order to buy the house we wanted. His networking meant that we had very large numbers of people through our home, even the week before the first open home! In the second week he presented us with two great offers. We were able to sell at a great price and secure the home we desperately wanted. It was a complicated situation, but Kelvin understood completely what we needed and worked with us to make this happen. Kelvin’s communication was brilliant. We always knew what was happening and he kept in the loop with every step. At all times we felt complete confidence in Kelvin and totally trusted his input. We are very grateful to him for helping us negotiate our recent transactions. We consider his friendly manner and professionalism to be what makes him such a great agent. We would totally recommend his services and would definitely use him again. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Never fails to sell . Sarah has helped us sell 2 of our properties now and I also enlisted her help to sell my parents' place, which she did. Sarah is always accommodating and happy to please, she is a great communicator and responds quickly to any questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah to my friends or family and if we sell again, she will be my first call
Fantastic experience: Amazing agent! Wonderful agent to deal with, knowledgeable, approachable and always willing to help. Always answered her phone, no matter what time of day, thank you.
Fantastic experience: Goes the extra mile . Working with Sara, has been reassuring and supportive throughout the whole process. Always happy to answer my queries no matter how stupid I thought they were. THANK YOU.
Fantastic experience: Made the first home buying experience that much better! . Kelvin was so helpful. As first home buyers we were very new to the whole process. Kelvin ensured we were well informed, kept open and prompt communication, was very thorough in guiding us through the buying process, and was very down to earth and genuine! His knowledge of property and the market assured us we had picked the right property at the right time for our situation. We are very pleased that we purchased our first home through Kelvin and would highly recommend him as a trustworthy estate agent. We have had a 100% positive experience. Thank you Kelvin!
Fantastic experience: He doesn't give up!! Having Kelvin in your corner, you're sure to sell your home! This man is so positive and never gives up! We had 2 sales that fell through at the last minute, but Kelvin always knew how to get us motivated again, in a difficult market. Every Sunday he was there at the open home, he always reported back soon after. He is super responsive, when it comes to communication. We knew we would ask him to sell this house for us, as he has been our agent before. He's been honest, ethical and in the end so tenacious, like a dog with bone! He knew he was going to sell, and did so, days before the end of the contract!! He's organised our whole move, as by that time we were overseas on our holiday. He certainly goes beyond the call if duty!! Thank you, Kelvin, it was great dealing with you again!

Positive experience: Star Agent. A big thank you for all your help in selling our home. From the beginning you worked tirelessly to market our house and negotiate the best deal for us. Thank you for your patience and professionalism throughout the selling process which at times was quite challenging. We appreciate additional advice you have provided to us which will be a great help in the future when we start the process of purchasing our next home.
Fantastic experience: Exceeded my expectations . Caroline is very efficient and always surprises me with how quick and effective she can be which is why I have worked with her for over 5 years now. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Genuine advice! As first home buyers, we were uncertain of what we wanted and how the process of buy a house worked. Caroline gave us genuine advice about choosing a home - it just so happened we fell in love with the one she was selling. Her friendly demeanour and patience to walk us through the buying steps were much appreciated.
Hi Samantha, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with Caroline.

Fantastic experience: 100% recommend leon Dear. Hes the man. Huge smiles and kind. XO
Fantastic experience: They did an amazing job selling our house.
Thank you Sue.
Negative experience: Very poor service Rude
Fantastic experience: Bev O’Keefe and Jackie Forsyth are the dynamic duo. They sold our property within a month using their combined powers of youth and experience.Having worked in real estate myself for a number of years we were particularly fussy about our choice of agent. They did not disappoint, especially as we listed our home with them a week before my major knee surgery. Their professionalism and dedication was evident from day 1.They are hard workers and come highly recommended from Ken and myself.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you had such a seamless sale.
Fantastic experience: Simply brilliant. Ask for Loraine Gibbs and she'll look after you and your family needs
Negative experience: I had a bad experience in dealing with Tremain rentals. I found the rental people unfriendly, inefficient and unprofessional. Please do not bother. Try others agencies or Trade me as I found them to be good and professional. I was looking a small rental property in Napier and a mutual friend who works for the real estate introduced me to them. My budget was actually way high above average. I filled all the forms and asked them to get back to me. I heard nothing after sending several emails to follow up. No response. After two weeks of chasing them with no response or acknowledgement, I took time off work and went to their rental office. The lady there was unwelcoming and started with: “Who are you?!” I explained that to her I have been looking for a rental property and I sent them the forms and I have waiting to hear from them. She said that they do not have any properties that match my needs. I looked at the board which showed the properties that they were renting at the time and there were at least three properties that were below my budget and could have easily fitted my needs. I said ok and thank you but I felt shooed away as I left. How bizarre. Try others agencies or Trade me as I found them to be good and professional. Cheers.
