Fantastic experience: I have sold property with Derek ,also had multiple rentals tenanted and managed by Landem. Professional and honest agents - cant recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Land'em has been the best guide through a long journey of selling and buying. He has gone above and beyond for our family, all days of the week, day or night. Land'em made the process easy to understand and was endlessly patient. He was friendly and professional; providing advice on anything we asked about. I've said we're never moving again but if we do we'll definitely use Land'em again.
Fantastic experience: Land'em was awesome to deal with! We had a bit of a strange request but he was more than happy to help. He gave us great advice and helped ease our minds during the whole process. Would definitely recommend his services and he will be our first stop in the future should we require his services again.
Fantastic experience: Landem was a great real estate agent to do business with. Very professional from the start to finish of selling my house. Even with a cyclone that disrupted the sale He still went over and above to get the sale over the line. Super blessed with the outcome. I highly recommend Landem for anyone looking to sell!!

Hi Vickie. Hope all is well. Thank you for lovely review.
Fantastic experience: They were awesome and very helpful, we did miss out on one property, but Lan'dem mangered to find us another one, we did opt for another property from another agency, but the work solomon real estate put in made us feel important, and not just another statistic. Weunderstood that the rental sector is very demanding for all involved, so we real did appreciate all the effort that was put in to find us a place. Recommended to all service was very professional and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: We recently listed our house with Derek And the experience has been first class.Dereks expertise and friendly manner had us at ease through the process and the house was sold in 5 weeks. We highly recommend Solomon real estate. Lin &John Vincent
Fantastic experience: One of the best and genuine realestate agent in Gisborne. Really good customer service and helpful. Bought my first home through Derek.
Fantastic experience: Derek and Nicky are always a pleasure to work with in all facets of the property market. Honest, professional and easy going you can't go wrong with them taking care of your next sale.
Fantastic experience: We're so happy we chose Derek as the agent to sell our house. He was honest and hard working with a great sense of humour to help get us through the stressful times. We felt he was most definitely on our team with our best interests at heart. Communication was outstanding and dealing with him was always a pleasure. Thank you Derek and team!
Fantastic experience: Derek was a champion for us, open and 100% professional. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy.
Fantastic experience: I never knew buying a house could be such a pleasant, stress-free experience. Derek Solomon went above and beyond our expectations, and made the entire experience for us first time buyers such a pleasurable one - which was so much appreciated as I was due to have our first child on the day of purchase. His professionalism and friendly disposition is refreshing and makes you feel like you’re in good hands, which is what you want when making such a big investment. Thanks Derek and team, it’s an easy five stars from me!
Fantastic experience: We found the people of Solomon real estate (Derek and Violet), engaging and extremely helpful. They were able to answer all of our querries in a very professional know fuss manner and provided excellent solutions to all of our questions. Their knowledge and expertise of current trends within our region were very thorough and they were able to give excellent practical advice and direction within a very short timeframe. We are very happy to have engaged in their professional services and should we require them again would have no hesitation in seeking their advice and services.
Fantastic experience: Apparently buying and selling a house is one of the most stressful things you can do, as well as moving house, starting a new job, travel and major family changes. All of the above collided at the time we sold our home. Derek helped us through the sale process and reduced a large chunk of the sale stress. He kept us up to date, he was honest, and made time to talk and help us feel at ease. If we ever sell again it will only be with Derek. PS. His taste in art is impeccable ;-) Nga mihi Sue-Ann and Matene Blandford
Fantastic experience: Over the past 12 months, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Violet and Derek's professionalism, approachability, expertise and their 'can do" attitude as a tenant in one of the buildings they manage. Whether my requests and concerns were large or small, they consistently paid attention in a professional way to all of them and ensured that they were amicably resolved. I would do business with them in a heartbeat and I can recommend them with confidence to anyone wanting to rent, buy or sell their home.
Fantastic experience: Solomon is very genuine and straight forward. We would like to appreciate and thank all his efforts and enthusiasm which helped us to buy a very good property. It was also a nice experience to deal with him.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Violet, you have been a consistent, warm and friendly lady since first meeting with you. You have demonstrated the professionalism that you have to offer. You have been very informative, covering every necessary aspect in regards to my forthcoming tenancy. Ensuring great service to myself and to property owners also.
Fantastic experience: Saved $15000.00 with Derek Solomon and this was a bonus to his service, professionalism and experience. Strong advocate for us and always had our best interest. At his fixed rate $9999.00 plus GST your in the same market as all other agents expecting 4% which would have cost us $25000.00 No brainer really. Thanks Derek for doing an awesome Job selling our sponge bay home.
Positive experience: BIG Thanks Violet Ngaira With the demand for rental properties out weighing the supply, this can be a very stressful time for alot of families in our community. You and your team have certainly helped with easing this stress for many, that are needing a place they can call HOME. I commend you on your professional attitude in representing your client (Landlord) and your professionalism and inviting attitude you give to prospective and current tenants. You provided clear communication of all responsibilities required of the tenant and also what the landlord will provide. The transition into the home was quick and easy, your ongoing monitoring and support throughout the tenancy is great. Much respect and appreciation to you and the Solomon Team for providing an outstanding service to Landlords and Tenants. Pono Rennie NOTE: 4 stars only as I am a believer of continuous improvement...
Fantastic experience: Derek and Violet were amazing. Sold our house in 6 days and found us another very quickly. Professional and friendly. Recommended to anyone wanting to sell or buy. Top service and top people!
Fantastic experience: Undoubtedly a Very professional service by the whole team. Thank you Derek for sorting out our first home here in beautiful Gisborne.
Fantastic experience: Derek and his team are amazing. Professional, easy to work with and very astute. An easy 5 stars from me!
Negative experience: This establishment was poorly managed as it managed a property of mine. They seem to think that ongoing inspections are not a requirement until you actually ask them. I chose to use another real estate and would discourage anyone to use Remax. Your Company managed our family home at the top of Tyndall. Nicky (Co-owner) doubt with this property and failed to provide the service she outlined. The service was a disgrace and the property went into arrears due to the property manager not only failing to update the landlord but also Nicky turned the whole thing around as to direct her frustration at my family member. She should be ashamed as she cost my family a lot of money, so yes it is you and when my friend said that she was going through you to sell her house, this was my reflection on the service. Thanks
