Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly - and very importantly - successful! Niki was great to deal with right from the outset. It was clear she knew exactly what she was doing, but she was also open to listening to us and reflecting our knowledge of our home and suburb. She applied a professional approach to the work but kept the whole experience fun and friendly. We would definitely recommend Niki to others, and would use her again to sell our home.

Fantastic experience: Making the big decisions Easy. We loved our dealings with Niki Neal. Every question we had was answered with professionalism and that personal touch you hope for, making one of the biggest decisions we were ever going to make, easy and well informed. Niki made us feel welcome at every open home, remembered us and what we were looking for and always listened to our needs and concerns, addressing them where she could and letting us know where she could not. On the purchase of this property we never once felt like her only interest was with the vendor and we felt like she really went to bat for us to get the best outcome for both parties. We could not have asked for more.
Fantastic experience: Stress free sale . It’s been said that selling a house is one of the most stressful things you can do but selling our home with Niki wasn’t. There were indeed curve balls thrown at us however her calm approach and willingness to help sort things out was invaluable and made for a stress free sale.
Fantastic experience: Niki was great to deal with. Made the whole transaction stress free. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Professional, genuine, responsive! Niki was fantastic to work with on my recent purchase, from helping to navigate offer details, her market knowledge, understanding how the process works and figuring out ways to make it all happen when the odd curve ball came our way. She is your person!!
Fantastic experience: We’re so glad with our decision to work with Niki to sell our property. The price target she set was realistic and in a range we were happy with, and she was easy to reach, motivated and highly engaged throughout the process. Her experience really shows, and she had clear and practical guidance for what we needed to do to maximise the chances of selling. She has a great personality too, which helped ease the pressure and made working with her really enjoyable. Highly recommend Niki and her team at Ray White.

Niki, was a fantastic agent from start to finish.From the moment we first met we knew we had made the right choice.She has such a positive but professional attitude.Niki provided detailed recent sales in our area and she knew who to target and how to create a great campaign via deadline sale. Niki had great contacts for things like windows and glass shower doors too which were super handy when we were getting our property ready. We appreciated the fact she was honest and made suggestions for what might need doing before putting the for sale sign up.

Fantastic experience: Realistic, Honest and Genuine. Niki is everything you could want and need in an agent. She made the sale of our house simple and straightforward, with easy communication and personal touches. Niki was honest with realistic market expectations and as such, our home sold for precisely the price we had in mind. Her experience in the real estate industry made a world of difference when it came to presenting our house and referring us to businesses and trades people who could help us. Niki’s positivity and genuinely lovely personality has been the cherry on the top! Thank you Niki!

Fantastic experience: Niki's real estate experience shines through. We were completely comfortable with Niki as our agent. She has a deep understanding of the local property market and what typically works well when selling. She confidently guided us through the process of preparing our home for the market, of reviewing offers, and closing the deal with a buyer. Her enthusiasm and energy helped us to stay focused and positive. She sent regular emails and progress reports, and we sometimes communicated through WhatsApp which was convenient and effective. Niki is friendly, professional, and works extremely hard to get results.
Thanks Neil and Rose for such a wonderful review - it was so great being able to help sell your home after you purchasing it off me many moons ago.
You are my go to pest company!
Enjoy the retirement step.
Kind regards Niki
Fantastic experience: Organised, efficient, and friendly. Niki exceeded all expectations. From initial meeting and taking us through the process and a realistic appraisal (which was on the money) she was professional and knowledgeable. Communication was great and we always knew what was happening throughout the listing and sale. Thanks so much Niki.
Thanks so much John for taking the time to give me such a great review. I really really enjoyed working with you and Kim.

Positive experience: Excellent market knowledge. Niki always responded quickly and thoroughly on enquiries made. She worked for us to ensure all items that we requested of the vendor were completed.

Fantastic experience: Trusted agent with proven performance. We have worked with Niki a number of times now in the buying and selling space, and there's a reason that we look to her first. Our transactions have often been tricky, due to time constraints or market conditions, and she has delivered over and above expectations every time. We've developed a great rapport with Niki, and trust that the advice she gives us is necessary to get the results we need. In our opinion, you don't get a better agent, or general all-round amazing human, than Niki Neal.

Niki understands my own personal expectations and delivers, I strongly recommend Niki and Ray White as the solution for buying and selling in Rotorua.
Fantastic experience: Niki was our 1st choice of real estate agent when we decided to list our home for sale because we often heard her on the radio talking about the local market. What we heard from Niki made sense to us. During the sale process we felt Niki had our best interests at heart from assisting with staging, regular updates and professional advice. We recommend Niki and her support team for anyone wanting a friendly and professional house sale.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Estate Agent. I had some additional goals from my sale. Niki's knowledge, communication, experience and solutions focused approach delivered what I was exactly was after and more.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding Agent - The best in the business. What an absolute pleasure it was selling my house with Niki Neal. from start to finish her efficiency, communication and overall market knowledge (especially of the Lynmore area) were very evident. nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and at every turn Niki was prepared to go the xtra mile, even to the extent of trying to help re-home my daughters cat. The stress that sometimes comes with selling a home seemed to all but disappear. the marketing plan and its implementation was perfect and the house was sold within a month, and at a good price. Would I use Niki Neal to sell my next house..... In a heartbeat !
Fantastic experience: You will not get better than Niki . If you want an agent who is realistic with their appraisal, great at keeping you in the loop, always being available to chat, extremely knowledgeable and experienced in realestate, not pushy and overall a very likeable person, then Niki is the agent for you and will exceed all of you’re expectations. We couldn't recommend her enough.

Very professional, clear communication the whole time, went out of her way to ensure the property we were purchasing had no issues we weren't aware of. Very understanding and helpful with anything the vendor and purchaser required to make sale easy and simple. Rate 11/10 Thank you again Niki
Fantastic experience: Niki was excellent to deal with throughout the marketing and sale process. She always kept me informed on the progress. Her market knowledge and experience is outstanding. Would highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: We had a very good experience. Niki is very professional and helpful. Her communication was excellent and fast
Fantastic experience: An͏ Absolute Gem of an Agent, Professional all the way! Having used Niki previously for the sale of a property I went straight back to her when I wanted to sell my property, and, as expected, I wasn't disappointed. From the word go Niki was proactive and motivated. We visited the house together and went over the main action points to promote the sale, and I took on board her suggestions. As the property was vacant Niki arranged for staging. This was fantastic and I have no doubt it made a huge difference to the presentation of the property for the open homes. Niki used a trusted and talented photographer/videographer, and the results were excellent. The open homes started immediately and Niki visited prior to the first one and offered her expertise on what might be improved. Within a short time Niki had an offer on the property which she communicated to me while I was away on holiday. This was not a problem as once the price was discussed she went back to the purchasers and a final figure was approved. Once this was done all the paperwork was actioned on line in a seamless manner. It was after the contract was signed that Niki really was a blessing! I was overseas at the time and there were issues with the building report and the LIM. "No worries" said Niki, "I can sort this out for you", and proceeded to do so. All through this stage I had daily calls or e-mails from her keeping me up to date with what was happening. I also know that she was in constant touch with the buyers so that they felt confident with what was a happening. The end result of her work was that the sale went unconditional and was finalised prior to Christmas, which was a really superb result. I can't thank Niki enough and definitely recommend her to anyone who is selling or buying. She is motivated, has a great personality, is very professional, but friendly, and will work really hard for both buyer and seller. Thank you Niki, you were a star! Cheers Jan
Jan, thank you thank you for such a wonderful review. I really appreciate the time you have taken out to write this. It's a pity I don't get to rate and review my vendors as I was so impressed with your prompt attention to everything and your great communication (even while on holiday).
Thank you for trusting me, I'm really glad we achieved the result in a timely manner in such a tricky market.
Keep well and enjoy your new build.
Kind regards Niki
