I brought my first home 5 years ago, it was a humble home needed love and attention, but we as a family with many children just wanted to be on that property ladder, we brought our home of Deb, we chipped away at it over the 5 years and brought her back to life.

As our grandchildren decided to enter the world one by one we knew our humble beginnings were coming to an end, in our little 3bedroom whare and we needed a bigger home, it was definitely a no brainer for us to find Deb again, although we had been approached by others in town I went looking for Deb,  lucky for us she was in kaikohe still doing realestate, and was working with Midnorth, as a Māori whanau we were a little hesitant but thought buggar it Deb will no what to do, as time moved along we were able to meet all of the midnorth whanau and found the team to be incredibly easy to work with, and we totally enjoyed our interactions with them all, Casey was extremely welcoming and is just so down to earth, she made our process easy we never felt like none of this was not in our hands.

Would I recommend Midnorth realestate to our whanau and haapori absolutely!!!

Nga Mihi Midnorth thanks so much we absolutely appreciate you all, Sandra, Casey, Deb, and team

Highly recommend Casey, she has been absolutely amazing, she has gone above and beyond for us as first home buyers. She has talked us through each and every step of the way making sure that we completely understand everything that is happening.

Casey has been a pleasure to deal with, completely upfront, honest and easy going. Thank you for making this as stress free as possible.

Sara Arblaster

Landlord & Vendor - Kaitaia

I’ve had the absolute privilege to be looked after by Casey, at Mid North Reality, as both a Property Manager and then as a Real Estate Agent. She has an uncanny ability to make even the hardest things appear easy.

Her communication skills between me as Landlord and my Tenants was faultless. I always felt on the front foot with any issues or work orders and when things needed to be done, not only were they taken care of from start to finish by Casey, they were sorted fast!

I don’t think I would have been able to manage being a Landlord in these changing times as long as I did, without her in my corner. Mid North Realty have gone above and beyond for me, I felt like family and I always knew that my business with them was valued and respected. I genuinely cannot recommend Casey and the team at Mid North Reality enough

My wife and I would like to thank the Mid North Real Estate team for their outstanding service selling our property in a super-efficient and timely manner.

Can highly recommend to any other property owners their services. Much appreciated.

Rachel Velden

I've had my flat managed by the team at Mid North Real Estate for many years.

They have always been very professional in their approach; helpful, very caring and very good at explaining what is required when you are renting or selling a property.

I would fully recommend the team at Mid North Real Estate for their professional service and for treating everyone they deal with as real people who matter.

Robert Kirkpatrick

Trina Blakely worked tirelessly to sell 2 rural properties on my behalf -  keeping me updated at every stage and viewing.  

A consummate professional.

Lita Palffy

Purchaser - Kaikohe

Moving from Auckland and looking for an affordable place to reside, Mid North Real Estate has been instrumental in making this possible.

Their professional manner, timely communication and personal interest greatly reduced the stress of the process. With years of experience and knowledge of the area, Sandra Robinson was able to provide guidance and advice which enabled me to make an informed decision on purchasing a dwelling. I feel one of the fortunate ones to now be a part of a great community in Kaikohe.

Alan Walker

Vendor Hastings

Sandra assisted us with appraising and selling my mother’s property after she passed away.

Working with the team at Mid-North Real Estate was absolutely fantastic. Their communication was brilliant and we received continual email support to keep us updated as I live nine hour’s drive away.

Sandra went out of her way to look after us and the property. We were impressed with the total commitment, professionalism and politeness demonstrated. She arranged for the house to be cleaned, the lawns to be mown, and the odd repair job to be done.

They successfully sold the property. Sandra gave us lots of ideas and advice which sped up the process and saved us a lot of time and money.

The best thing about dealing with Mid North Real Estate was the compassion and kind of “companionship” which supported us through the dealing with a deceased estate property.

I started out as a client and have become a friend.

Andrew O’Grady

Landlord Kaikohe

I have been working with Mid-North Real Estate for over 25 years. Over that time they have assisted me with the purchase of several investment properties and the ongoing management of them.

It feels like working with old friends. Their communication is always excellent and their service is first class.

They handle everything to do with the properties so that they are well maintained and return a stable income.

I am very confident in referring their services.

Kathy Ellis

Landlord

Mid-North Real Estate helped me to buy my first rental property and it was easier than expected.

They also manage the property which means that as a landlord I have no worries. The rent arrives every week and Sandra sends me regular updates.

Their fees are sensible and they are extremely conscientious and reliable. I trust them and can confidently recommend their services.

Phillip Shepherd

Landlord & Vendor Auckland

We chose to have Sandra manage our rental properties as she came highly recommended by someone we knew that was using her services.

We have dealt with her and the Mid North team for over two years. Over that time they found excellent tenants for our two rentals and have kept the properties well maintained.

They’re easy to get hold of, they’re open and honest and it’s always a pleasure dealing with them… they really take all the stress out of having rentals.

When it came time to sell, their service was also top notch and we got a good price for both properties.

They always go the extra step and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to sell or needs a property manager.

Popo & Trevor Hayes

Landlords Kerikeri

Mid North Real Estate got us onto the investment property ladder and helped us to find and purchase our first rental property.

Throughout the process we found them really friendly and easy to deal with.

They are now managing our rental property and their service and follow up is really good. They keep us well informed and we really appreciate how precise their property inspection reports are. If something needs doing they are always able to recommend good local tradespeople.

Wayne Johnson

House Hunter

I approached Mid-North Real Estate to help me find a property.

Throughout our search nothing seemed to be too much trouble. There was no pressure to purchase at any stage and it was a hassle-free experience.

Their service was excellent and when I did buy I had peace of mind that I had got a good property.

They’re a great, friendly team who made me feel like a person, not a number!

Gary & Tracy Purkiss

Landlord & Vendor - Kaikohe 

I used Mid North Real Estate for around five years to not only manage my properties but also to sell them.  

As far as rental management went they took all of the problems away from me and dealt with them in a thorough and cost effective way.  Regular inspections meant I was emailed reports with pictures showing the state of my properties along with recommendations on work that needed to be done and anything that might need attention in the future.  

When I sold my properties they were marketed professionally and all sold within a few days.  Mid North Real Estate are 100% professional and lovely people to do business with.
