Licensed Real Estate Salesperson Oakura

"We had the pleasure of working with Rachel Hooper on the sale of our parents home. Rachel from the beginning explained everything clearly and over the course of the sale process covered off every detail big or small, this was especially helpful for us as we live out of town. Rachel also maintained excellent communication, keeping us in the loop at all times with regular updates and throughout the negotiations. She has a very friendly manner, a great attention to detail and we would highly recommend her services to anyone buying or selling property."

"Rachel was the consummate professional as well as being very caring, positive and supportive throughout the whole selling process. She was a great, prompt communicator and nothing was ever too much trouble.
We would both highly recommend her."

Sue and Richard, Oakura

"Rachel is an extremely professional, warm and approachable agent. All communication regarding the sale of my home was conducted in a timely, organised and empathetic manner. She has fantastic attention to detail in terms of preparing the property, advising on presentation and ensuring the property is immaculate. Rachel has a comprehensive knowledge of sales on ‘the Coast’ and gave strong market advice which was crucial to the timely sale. If you are a busy person and want the sale of your property to be completely stress free, then Rachel is your agent!"

Anna, Okato 2022

"Rachel Hooper has just sold us our first home. As first home buyers we have needed a lot of guidance and Rachel has always been quick to answer our questions and get information about the property for us. We feel very lucky to have worked with Rachel and would highly recommend her and the McDonalds team to anyone selling or buying a home."

Tyler and Jasmine, New Plymouth

"We met Rachel a few years ago while visiting properties she was representing. We had been impressed by her professionalism and her friendliness no matter how many times we saw her and didn’t purchase. When the time came to sell our house we already knew who we wanted to do it. She put us at ease since day one and always made sure we were both happy and comfortable with the process of selling our beloved home. It is a very emotional and stressful thing to do and she knew that. Rachel would often offer reassurance and confidence. She was there to help us get the most profitable outcome, while consistently providing expert knowledge and prompt response. Rachel has a lot of resources and recommended great professional contacts to help us stage the house and make it look like a magazine cover. We would have not been able to do that on our own. If you are still thinking whether paying a commission is a waste of money or not, I can tell you it is not! We have not once regretted working with Rachel and she delivered outstanding results. I never once doubted that she wasn’t the right fit. You can use her services with your eyes closed…Thank you Rachel."

Marine, Oakura, 2021

"We would both like to thank Rachel for all her help with the sale of our home in Oakura. Rachel always kept us informed and up to date with information and progress towards a successful sale. This was particularly important as we are now on the other side of world. She went above and beyond any expectations we had of a Realtor. Having bought and sold around the globe and dealt with lots of Real Estate Agents we will always hold her above the rest with great esteem.
Many thanks Rachel to you and the McDonald Real Estate support team and we wish you all success for the future."

Mike and Bev, Oakura 2021

"I chose Rachel to market and sell my family home as I had already developed a relationship of trust working with her previously. She worked professionally and with humor and empathy the whole way. (Letting go of the home I’d had for over 20 years was not easy). When an unexpected family crisis added to the stress, she was amazing – just took the reins, kept me in the loop and worked hard to secure a fair deal all round. Throughout she was professional and diligent, guiding me where necessary but never adding pressure. Rachel has exceptional personal skills and excels in making what could be a very stressful time run smoothly. She instills confidence, always with a smile. I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough."

Sally, Oakura 2023

"We were recently looking for a property to buy in Taranaki, and contacted Rachel to enquire about a advertisement in which she was listed as the agent. We were then in regular contact while we searched for something that we thought would be perfect for us. At all times Rachel was cheerful and very helpful, nothing seemed to be too much trouble to do to find our new home. She was very prompt to answer the many questions we had during this process, and very professional at all times. We are very happy with our new home that Rachel found for us. We would recommend anyone venturing into the property market to contact Rachel to take all of the stress out of buying or selling your property."

Robbie and Vicki, Stratford

"We can’t recommend Rachel enough. We had a fantastic experience dealing with her right from the start. Straight after our first viewing with Rachel my wife and I looked at each other and said at the same time “we have to buy a house from her!” She was absolutely incredible, very professional but at the same time just a fun person to help us through this stressful stage. We went through due diligence on multiple properties before finding the perfect place and over the course of a few months she was always available whenever we needed. At the time we were living half on the other side of the world and we would find Rachel returning our messages in the middle of her night. It got to the point where we had to tell her to stop working so hard! This shows her absolute dedication to her job. We will not hesitate to engage her services again when we need them.
Thank you so much for all your hard work Rachel and we look forward to working with you again."
