We worked through the purchase of our new house with Renate and Daniel. It’s not our first rodeo so we’ve dealt with agents of various types and dispositions. Renate and Daniel were very professional and knowledgeable, were prepared with the information we needed as buyers and communicated effectively - and let us take our time with the decision without trying to pressure us. After settlement, minor issues were addressed and remediated personally to ensure a positive outcome for both parties.

Renate did a very good job of promoting and selling my property. She and Carrie kept me up to date with all viewings. Very happy with the result. All the best for the future Renate.

As I had not sold a house before Renate's help in guiding me through the system was very welcome. Renate organized possible buyers with viewings etc. but always with my preferences in mind. Renate was always quick to reply to questions and make contacts for me. Thank you Renate you made the whole experience easier than I had expected.

When our family viewed the house at 49 Tahuna in Paihia, we were worried about our 3 kids wondering around the house and potentially upsetting the real estate agent. Renate was lovely and not at all worried about the kids going through both floors of the house. She was very helpful and respectful during the viewing process. Our family came away both impressed with the house and service from Renate. Renate was quick to respond to all of our emails and that made the whole buying process so much easier! Ngā mihi nui kia koe Renate, for your professionalism and excellent communication.

Renate sold our previous property within a few weeks when, at least 5 other agents could not do over a very extended period of time! And now, she has done it again with our most recent property. Sold within 3 weeks. Renate gave us good, honest advice and has become a friend.

Some years ago we approached One Agency to do an appraisal on our home.
Renate and Daniel arrived and after meeting them they looked over our home and presented their appraisal. At that time we were not intending to sell our home but after spending time with them we decided that if we did sell One Agency would be the agency we would use. Why? Because of their approach, their manner and their general friendliness . Some years later, health and other problems brought the decision that, reluctantly, we needed to sell our home and move closer to family. We contacted Renate and asked her to handle the sale. We have no regrets in so. It was 30 years since we had last sold a home and had no idea of the changes required in today’s Real Estate world. Renate was very helpful in all aspects of the sale and even beyond the sale. Her knowledge which was explained with quiet confidence helped us through the process and enabled us to understand the ins and outs of the many facets of the Real Estate world. We would have no hesitation in recommending One Agency Real Estate Agency. Pat and Don Jansen. Hi

Daniel is honest, fair and an excellent communicator. We were continuously kept up to date and they gave us the feeling that we were their number one priority.

Daniel and Renate were clear, open, honest and caring right from the beginning through to the end! Their level of integrity is second to none given how cut throat and commission driven the real estate industry can be. There was none of that with them at all. We couldn’t be happier and couldn’t have possibly had better agents to work with and to sell our home! Thank you Daniel and Renate!

Renate stood out to me as an expert of her field over and above anyone in the area. She had fresh ideas and approaches which clearly came from a wealth of experience. We were in the picture every step of the way without feeling any pressure or over persistence. My father had passed midway through a build and we needed someone to take over and make a sale happen effortlessly and remotely. Renate did this with absolute professionalism. I would recommend Renate to anyone looking for the best results and stress free sale! Brava!

Our experience with both Renate and Dan representing One Agency was a hassle-free relationship. Both of them were cordial and nothing was ever a problem, they were very accommodating in our communications. We would consider using their agency if we were to sell in the future.
Thanks for the easy-going purchase.

Just before the first lockdown my mother suffered a fall breaking her hip and as a result moved in with us permanently and resulting in the decision to sell her much loved home. Renate was very kind and all the major decisions were made during home visits and in the presence of Mum. It was difficult organizing viewings during the Covid lockdown but Renate persisted and always let us know the results of each viewing or open home. I was very impressed with the quality of the marketing photography. We also appreciated her advice on pricing relative to other similar properties. Thank You Renate.

House Purchase through Renate.
We had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with Renate very recently, with the purchase process of a new home in Kerikeri.
Renate from our first meeting was professional, very efficient and bought a very personable approach to the entire process. We were also impressed with the fact the Renate represented herself at all times with the best interests of both us as purchasers, but also the vendor in mind.
The entire sale & purchase process was smooth and very effectively managed by Renate. We certainly have no hesitation in recommending Renate as a first class agent. Thank you.

The review title says it all. From the time Renate first crossed our doorstep she exhibited enthusiasm for our product, she was well equipped with information on recent sales and she pitched for our listing In a calm, calculated way. Negotiating the commission payable was instigated by her which was a pleasant surprise. The fact she front footed that issue certainly gave her a shoe in, securing the listing. It showed integrity that I have not experienced with other Real Estate Agents.
She put no pressure on us during the sales process, gave good notice to inspect, very good honest feedback and was able to bring the sale to a conclusion in a timely, professional manner.

Seemless experience selling
When deciding to sell our property, we approached a couple of agents to view the property and appraise. Renate was very easy to communicate with, she listened and took on board all that we said. When the time came to list we decided to appoint Renate to list our property. We had no regrets, she involved us in the process all the way, communicating with us regularly. Yes we would use Renate again, and can thoroughly recommend her to anybody who is looking to selling there property, or buy one. Thank you Renate.

Great agent
Upon meeting me for the 1st time Renate took the time to talk to me and understand my situation and the type of property I was interested in.
Renate is one of Only two agents (from the many I met) who called me after an open home to see how interested I was.
The house I purchased was one that I only looked at because Renate invited me for a private viewing.
She has held open homes and private viewings for both properties that I was interested in and basically just made it hassle free to purchase, so I can definitely recommend Renate to buyers and sellers alike.
- Dave Smyth in Kerikeri
A true review of good service should simply ask the question “would I do the same again ?”
Without hesitation, our answer would be “yes”
We felt assured and comfortable from the start, communication was excellent throughout.
We’d have no hesitation in recommending Renate and Daniel and they’d be our first point of contact in the future.
Many thanks for your help.

I fell in love with this property the minute I saw it. I knew that it would not be on the market for long. Given that I had a property to sell Daniel and Renate reduced the stress involved fantastically. They were incredibly helpful and very aware of what both parties were going through. They could not have been better in my opinion.

Friendly and Informative.
I started what could have been a traumatic ordeal of selling my rental property, with huge misgivings, and then made the best decision possible, I rang One Agency Far North. From the start Renate was calm, supportive, and as I prepared the property, she complemented me on every stage. My confidence grew and the ordeal became enjoyable, then when we reached the marketing stage and Daniel got involved I knew I had the best team in the business. They are a First Class Unit.

A Buyers Perspective
If you ever thought a real estate agents job is easy, think again. I was truly enlightening to see just how hard Renate worked between parties to realise a successful outcome for both. This negotiation was protracted and I obtained a new appreciation for the time agents can put into the whole process with no guarantee of an outcome. As the purchasers having reached an agreement, Renate continued to provide invaluable assistance in helping obtain a rental appraisal which was crucial in obtaining finance. We are now looking forward to our new life in the north. Thanks for everything Renate

Renate and Daniel are both professionally competent, very good at communication and mindful of the unavoidable stress of selling a much loved property. We are particularly grateful for their constant and meaningful feedback, their endless patience in repeating or explaining anything we were concerned about or didn’t understand and their endless energy and effort throughout the selling process. They even managed to make it enjoyable at times!

Fantastic service and always with a smile
We were introduced to Renate when we looked at the house above ours that she was marketing. From the very start, Renate’s communication with us was outstanding. This is something very important to us and we appreciated being kept up to date with every detail of the sale. We were in a multi-offer situation so her communication skills became even more important. We never felt like we were being left out of the picture. She explained the multi-offer details to us very clearly and thoroughly. She was always clam and always available for us to call and discuss things with. I have no hesitation in recommending Renate as an agent whatsoever.

“Daniel and Renate Ochse of One Agency handled the sale of our home and income (orchid business) in Waipapa.
From the outset, they told us “they worked for the vendors” and at every step of the way, we found that to be absolutely true, as they communicated with us regarding every enquiry and offered feedback immediately after a prospective buyer viewed the property. They acted with professional integrity in all aspects of the sale, from presenting us with an accurate market appraisal, liaising and negotiating with prospective buyers and organising the contractual details, including liaising with solicitors on both sides of the sale and purchase agreement. Once a conditional contract was in place, they didn’t just leave us in the dark in terms of the progress on the conditions, but because buyer enquiry continued, they organised a backup in the event that the first contract fell through. As often happens with conditional agreements, the conditions of the first contract failed to be satisfied, but we were happily able to go straight to the backup, which turned out to be the best offer.
We have already gladly recommended Daniel and Renate Ochse of ONE Agency to others wanting to sell their properties and will continue to do so and will have no hesitation in listing with them again when next we have a property to sell.”
- Chris and Shirley Ayers in 110 Waipapa West Road, Kerikeri
We could not have been happier with the outcome. Daniel and Renate accommodated the sales process with multiple viewings over a 4 day period which created a competitive environment maximising our sales price. We now have a lovely family moving into the neighbourhood.
If you are thinking of selling we would recommend you give them a call.
