Superb communication at all times
No knowing much about the process of selling a house, with all her vast knowledge of the industry Sarah put our mind at ease and went through the process step by step.
Can’t thank Sarah and her team enough.

Sarah did the most incredible job of marketing our property and getting us multiple offers. She managed our expectations and provided clear, concise communication throughout. The team went above and beyond and we couldn't be more grateful. Thrilled with the result. Highly recommend!

Outstanding, Highly Recommend
Selling our property was a delicate situation, and Sarah Knight and her team handled it with the utmost professionalism, empathy, and skill. From the beginning, she made us feel supported and understood, always communicating clearly and respectfully. Her negotiation skills were exceptional, and she worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome for us. What truly stood out was her ability to navigate sensitive circumstances with grace and care, making a potentially stressful process feel manageable and even reassuring. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is not only highly competent but also genuinely compassionate. She’s a true professional and a credit to her field.

Finding her way into real estate was no mistake. Sarah began her career in radio over 15 years ago, managing key accounts, marketing concepts and communication with clients.

Sarah embraces all of these elements in her professional role as your consultant, bringing exceptional marketing, seamless communication and high-level negotiation to the table ensuring you get the results you deserve and have a little fun along the way!
“Our focus is always on our people, taking them from where they are now, to where they want to be - sometimes this is connecting them with the right solicitor or mortgage broker, sometimes it is helping them find just the right home, sometimes it’s marketing and selling a property, sometimes it is just having a genuine conversation at the right time” – Sarah Knight.
Whatever your property needs, we’d be delighted to assist, no question is ever a silly one and our phones are always on.

Rachel Willis
Residential Sales Associate
Rachel's career is built on people, detail, and dedication. With almost five years in real estate across Auckland and Hawke's Bay, she combines local insight with city experience to deliver an exceptional standard of service.
Before property, Rachel honed her skills in hospitality, helping set up and manage a boutique Auckland hotel where she mastered both the customer-facing and behind-the-scenes co-ordination that keeps things running seamlessly. Add to that more than a decade in customer-focused and sales-driven roles within the technology sector, and it’s easy to see how her blend of systems knowledge, organisation, and client care became second nature.
Born and raised in Clive, Rachel is proud to be home in Hawke's Bay. She balances her passion for personal development with time spent with family - the very reason she returned. Creative, detail-oriented, and always ready to go the extra mile, Rachel brings warmth, know-how, and a personable touch to the team.
