Leonie is highly professional, with expert communication all skills. She went BEYOND helpful. Designing my house for the photos, and doing the voice over. Leonie answered my questions to a high standard. And talked to me over coffee. I really appreciate her support in such a stressful time. I feel I have made a friend.

We purchased a property in Whangaroa Leonie was exceptionally helpful and was fantastic at arranging quotes and getting information for us. She is a great problem solver and found solutions quickly to our concerns. Leonie was absolutely lovely and I would highly recommend her.

I have sold properties both in Australia and New Zealand and have never had a more professional or hard working agent than Leonie. Constantly kept us informed on the market which was a difficult one over the period of our sale. Couldn’t be happier.

On the 3rd of December I received a call from Leonie; and it was all on from there. My property is now sold and I am moving on. Leonie was all over it. She was so organised and professional that I sat back and enjoyed the experience.....as much as one can in this situation. Problem with the mowing debris on the driveway? No worry. Leonie loaned me her Blower. Nothing she could not handle. Great personality,and a pleasant experience. Thank you Leonie. Colin.

We were absolutely delighted to meet Leonie; great personality, warm and friendly; she made the whole process smooth and even fun! She quickly understood our needs; worked tirelessly for us, going 'the extra mile,' above and beyond our expectations. Proficient in all aspects of marketing she did a great job for us; she got our house sold and our dream place purchased. We highly recommend her!

Leonie is not your typical agent chasing the $.... she cares about your property and works very hard to match a buyer. Leonie brings a personal touch to selling your property, she has vision and a natural ability to engage all parties. I highly recommend Leonie, she is professional at all times and a delight to work with.

Fantastic Experience
Leonie is one out of the box. You are dealing here with a professional who knows how to sell houses! The responsiveness, the knowledge, the speed with which Leonie communicated and acted was just fantastic. You won't get better. We had a VERY tricky sale with all sorts of complications and Leonie navigated that with us and the vendors to ensure a fantastic outcome. We did have another agent who got us a sale that didn't go through, Leonie achieved a price 160K higher than the price the previous agent got and 250K higher than the price quoted by other agents to sell the property. It was sold in six weeks which is phenomenal given some of the challenges. I can't recommend Leonie highly enough, she is an incredibly good real estate agent who really knows her stuff and I would be happy to provide a reference to anyone thinking of using Leonie.

Leonie was in all aspects very easy and helpful in responding to our requirements. She prepared very complete information from her initial proposal and market analysis through to the marketing and sales information when we went to market. She responded to all requests very quickly and accurately as well as being available anytime for help with advice when needed. We would definitely recommend Leonie to anyone needing a very professional and energetic sales agent.

I had the pleasure in dealing with Leonie buying a piece of land. From viewing to settlement Leonie was just wonderful to deal with. Professional, communicative and very knowledgeable of not only the land we purchased but the Far North area. I would not hesitate to recommend Leonie for either buying or selling, she adds a very personal touch which is sometime rare in real estate.

I first contacted Leonie before Christmas 2021 and we discussed putting my property on the market ( I also had another company come and have a look)
In early January 2022 I decided to list my property, Leonie came over and we discussed the normal, what was really good, was the fact that Leonie had decided to market the property in a different manner than we discussed before Christmas as she was finding it a less successful method, so she is adaptable!
Before listing she made sure we had good quality photos and video ( yes we did have to wait for a fine day!)
Once listed on trade me it was only a matter of days before we had an deal which went unconditional about a week later.
Great result and great communication .
Yes I would recommend and use again .
Many thanks Leonie and all the best.

Sale of 29b Old Hospital Road
From the off , Leonie was very friendly and knowledgeable, understanding our situation as we were not in the country. She kept us informed at all times of the possibility’s of future purchasers. She also advised us on values and possessions of what could stay or be removed. She made the whole property look extremely inviting for possible purchasers also producing a series of first class photographs and a very well presented and informative video. Our property was sold and completed in double quick time .She was most helpful in keeping in touch with our neighbours and friends, so that we were aware at all times of our position.

Today is pay-out day - Thanks to Leonie !
After several bungled, half-hearted attempts by other agencies I was recommended to Leonie; who specializes in Whangaroa Rohe area. She was an active part of this community a few years ago and knows every square cm of our beautiful harbour and village and surrounds. Leonie's competence and business skills know no bounds; she is fully engaged in all aspects of the process; and I appreciate very much that she is as much interested in the purchasers' needs as she is with the seller's. For example, at her own cost buying a set of garden furniture to be on the land parcel, so that purchasers can sit and congratulate themselves over a comfy bottle of bubbly. I totally recommend Leonie ! And all this before I open the gift she gave me yesterday; yes, she keeps sellers in her caring sights also!

Leonie has been by far the best agent i have dealt with!!
Right from the beginning Leonie has been polite, cheerful, courteous, helpful, honest and kept us informed and updated through the stressful even of selling. She helped not only with suggestions but with "hands on" as we prepared our home to be listed even bringing some of her own furnishings to dress some areas. Throughout the whole process (listing, viewing, offers etc) nothing has been too much trouble (visiting, phoning and emailing) to make sure we understood and were aware of what was happening, We have no hesitation in recommending her!! She does a brilliant job!!

Patient, detailed, and gets the best for her client
Leonie is the BEST agent we have ever worked with. We have bought and sold multiple properties throughout New Zealand and had the best experience with Leonie. To say she goes the extra mile is an understatement. Through a pandemic and other unforeseen issues, Leonie kept us fully informed on every aspect of the sale and got us exactly what we wanted with our sale. We highly recommend Leonie because she connects with her clients, sees the full potential in the sale, and focuses on finding the right buyer. If we are ever going to buy or sell a property again she will be our first point of contact. Leonie is a class act! Thank you Leonie!

Simply the best!
Leonie is the best real estate agent we've ever met! She found us our dream home in Whangaroa. Leonie was super efficient. As soon as we made contact with her by email, she sent us information about several houses we might like to look at. We met her and saw three different houses, one of which we ended up buying. She has gone the extra mile, meeting with a building inspector and helping out with several other contacts and services we needed. Can't recommend her highly enough!

Not only was she empathetic to my feelings of selling my family home which was hard, she also knew my deadline and she got hands on literally helping in anyway including labour. She knows her stuff!!! Professional but hands on! Got me the price and her video was amazing

From beginning to end of our experience with Leonie I found myself in awe of Leonie's professionalism and skill in marketing our house and making the process stress free for me. Without a word of a lie, Leonie not only hit the target date wanted for a sale, she got my house market ready at no extra charge either. The things she did still astonish me. Leonie replaced things, painted, gardened, took rubbish away, even offered to move all my things in her ute after it sold in order to meet the deadline date. I noticed she was also offering help in all sorts of ways to the purchasers prior to their move in.
Incredible Agent. I have mentioned her to a few people, even to the conveyance solicitor and it seems well known that Leonie does more than any agent for her clients. It still warms my heart about how good she is. I would recommend Leonie 100% to anyone either buying or selling.

Very helpful! Went the extra mile to help and show my family and I around the property, even with little notice sometimes!

Leonie has gone the extra mile to ensure as purchasers of our new property, that due diligence was done on the legal background of the home, the facilities in and around the area, contacts with local building contractors and the property’s wonderful characteristics. We were presented with an excellent brochure compiled on the property’s historic background and all the improvements the current owners had invested in over time. We have been in contact with via Leonie with the owners gaining a raft of informative information and have enjoyed continued service with a smile after purchase. Thank you, Leonie. We will look after our new home.

Leonie Mateer was selected to market and sell our property as her knowledge of the area was excellent having lived in surrounding areas for sometime.
Photos and videos were taken by a professional photographer who also did a great job with a drone to show the outside of our property
Leonie was absolutely professional at all times, enthusiastic and encouraging.
Some places in our house needed a little bit of colour and Leonie supplied beautiful plants to bring the extra colour. When we were away for a few weeks she bought fresh flowers for the vases, lit the fires and warmed the house before showing to prospective buyers.
She advertised as promised and provided coverage on Facebook, trademe, produced brochures,
Composed an E-Book with all the details of our property. She was available at all times if we needed to ask or seek advice.
This was done at no cost to us at all.
We would recommend Leonie without question and are happy to speak to Vendors who might be thinking about selling their properties. Our details are listed below
Certainly the best Real Estate Agent we have ever dealt with by a million miles
Thank you Leonie for a very quick and easy sale.

If you want to sell any real estate look no further than Leonie Mateer. Leonie will make it her mission to find a buyer. Of all the properties I have dealt with I have not come across anyone that has put as much effort in as Leonie.

We found selling our section with Leonie pain free. Leonie suggested making a short video using a drone (at no added expense to us) and organized clearing the section using a local contractor. We found Leonie to be very professional and knowledgeable and she kept us updated throughout the whole process even out of hours and public holidays we could not have asked for more.

Enjoyed having Leonie as an agent, she is caring, efficient and has good local knowledge . I highly recommend to anyone who is thinking of purchasing a property or land in Mangonui or neighbouring areas. Thanks Leonie

We found that Leonie was great to deal with and she went the extra bit to make it work. Anytime of the day or night she was quite happy to talk to us.

Leonie’s approach to selling the property was professional, energetic and enthusiastic, with 100% dedication and commitment. We are very pleased we chose Leonie to sell our property. We definitely recommend Leonie Mateer to sell your property. She will get the job done.
