Rachel Hooper has been absolutely professional, intuitively creative and compassionate in regards to our house sale, always bringing positivity, enthusiasm and laughs! Never wavering in commitment and integrity to all parties involved in the sale of our lovely home. We knew we were in trusted hands and would highly recommend Rachel Hooper.

Rachel did a first class job from pre-listing guidance right through the marketing campaign and eventual sale. We couldn’t have asked for more professional service and would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for an agent.

Rachel sold us our recent home that we purchased in Oakura. We found Rachel awesome to deal with as a buyer. She is friendly, professional and very approachable and always kept us fully informed making the process such a smooth and positive experience. She went the extra mile for us on numerous occasions making it so easy for our family - she even organised for us to move some things in a week before settlement to ease the load. I would highly recommend Rachel as an estate agent, she definitely has that X factor and is so lovely to deal with. Thank you so much Rachel for helping us secure our awesome home.

Rachel's sound advice and support from the beginning of our house sale well exceeded our expectations! She was efficient with her feedback, designed a polished marketing schedule and was always considerate to our family needs. We believe this contributed to a smooth sale process, where our price expectations were met. Rachel displayed the highest level of skill, integrity and professionalism and earned our respect and we would definitely recommend Rachel Hooper to anyone thinking about selling their property who want a refreshing agent experience.

Our experience with Rachel Hooper, McDonald Real Estate in purchasing a house and then selling our house, was nothing like we had experienced before. She is incredibly professional, incredibly focused on doing the right thing for both the vendor and the purchaser, absolutely transparent, calm, confident and a great communicator. Rachel made the process seamless and as stress-free as buying and selling can be. We would definitely use Rachel for our next property transaction.

Rachel was amazing to work with when selling our property. She was extremely helpful and enthusiastic throughout the process even when unexpected hurdles came up along the way. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the process. We would definitely use Rachel again!

Rachel was fantastic for us as buyers and the vendors told us they were equally impressed! Long after the deal was signed, Rachel continued to provide an exemplary and personable service. It appeared that her ‘too hard basket’ was lost some time ago.

We chose Rachel Hooper, McDonald Real Estate to sell our ‘forever’ home. Rachel has a motto of Positive, Stress free and Rewarding and never has a truer word been said as our sale was handled and delivered in accordance with her motto. Rachel’s communication throughout was fantastic and we always knew how the sale was progressing. Rachel’s advice was welcoming and professional. We would highly recommend Rachel Hooper Real Estate to any seller or purchaser.

Rachel was very pleasant and professional to deal with during the whole sales process. We selected her as she valued the property considerably higher than the competition and that proved to be the case when she delivered the result. She proactively offered advice and assistance on how best to present the property and also contributed to the marketing. We would happily utilise Rachel's services again and recommend her to anyone else looking for a trustworthy real estate agent who gets results.

Rachel recently assisted us in the purchase of our home. From our initial meeting, to settlement day we found Rachel to be helpful every step of the way – answering our queries, following up on our questions and keeping us fully informed. Rachel is a great communicator and we felt reassured during the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional and dedicated. I would have no hesitation in using her services again as a vendor or purchaser.

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.

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.

Rachel Hooper was amazing. She not only understood the value of our property and communicated this, but she went way beyond the scope of a real estate agent in preparing the property for sale and settlement. If you want a good experience and a great outcome in selling your house, work with Rachel. I wish I had more houses to sell, so I could keep working with her.

Rachel guided us through the sale process as we didn’t live in the area and we weren’t able to tend to many of the things that sometimes arise when selling a property. Rachel took care of the preparation and arranged staging. The property was on the market for just 4 days and Rachel was able to obtain a price that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Rachel as she is a pleasant women who knows her stuff. She is punctual, capable and knowledgeable. We would get her to sell a property for us again in the future.

We were delighted to be able to ask Rachel to market our property. Rachel had sold 2 properties for us a couple of years ago and we were very pleased with those sales, so asking her to act for us again gave us confidence that this sale would go well too. We like her friendly professional approach with realistic and positive dealings in all aspects of the process. We would have no hesitation in asking her to act for us again and recommend her to anyone wanting an easy and successful sale or purchase.

From the very moment we met Rachel we knew we had the right agent to sell our house. She was very professional and caring in her approach to selling our house for us. She was always available when we needed to talk to her in regards to the process of our house sale with no hesitation. Rachel would give us a weekly report on the current market in detail so that we were well informed as to what was happening in the market. It became a very emotional process for myself when my husband unexpectedly passed away during the process of our house sale. Rachel was so incredibly compassionate and caring during this time for me for which I greatly appreciate. I can’t thank her enough for her honesty and guidance throughout this process and I would have her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel went above and beyond to help us into our dream home. She was highly professional, helpful and positive right down to the small details. We would highly recommend Rachel to others.

I listed my property with Rachel Hooper during a time when there was a lot of speculation around the market. We were in the midst of a global pandemic. This might have worried some people, but Rachel just kept cool, calm and carried on. Excellent communication and professional approach all helped towards a great result. If this is what she can achieve during a tricky time like this, then I’d recommend you consider her for selling your property. Her results speak for themselves.

We recently purchased a home in Oakura through Rachel. It all happened in a flash as is the property market right now, but we didn't at all feel rushed when putting our offer together. Rachel's clear communication and calmness was a vital ingredient to the smooth process from initial viewing to submitting our offer. There were no unknowns, we received prompt updates as interest in the property grew and as questions came to mind that could have influenced our offer. It was a well run, well supported process and ultimately led to the desired result for us. She's pretty great.

My partner and I only ever dreamt of being able to buy our very first home. Rachel helped make this dream a reality! She was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process - we are forever grateful. Rachel is passionate and diligent when it comes to her work and she has excellent communication skills. We felt informed throughout the process and she was always willing to follow up on the many questions we had as first home buyers. Thank you so much Rachel! We hope to work with you again in the future.

Rachel helped make our dreams a reality with our beautiful newly built home in the heart of Okato! She was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. We had been disheartened by a few multi-offer experiences going into making our offer on this house but Rachel made it a breeze. She was so informative, helpful and kind, we were truly blown away! Rachel and Daniel went above and beyond in ensuring the conditions of our offer were fair to both us and their vendor. We felt informed and supported throughout the process as Rachel was always checking in to ensure we understood everything we needed to. We are so thankful and will be recommending her to all our family and friends.

Rachel 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. Thank you Rachel.

We do not hesitate to recommend Rachel to anybody interested in selling or buying a property. Thank you Rachel for making it a pleasant experience!

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.

What a pleasure to deal with Rachel from the open home, offer and acceptance. Friendly bubbly and informative. Thanks for being you.

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!

From the bottom of our heart, Rachel you have been amazing. Rachel was highly professional throughout our experience of selling our home. Always on hand to answer any questions, supported and kept us up to date. She is so knowledgeable and liaised with all parties throughout the whole process. thank you for making the sale of our house so stress free.

Rachel has done it again. We are grateful for a great outcome. Your advice has been excellent

We never second guessed our trust in Rachel. She is genuine and professional and she really does have all of her clients best interests at heart. We will do business with her again in the future for sure!

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.

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.

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.

Buying in the current climate was a challenge. Having worked with us around what we were looking for, Rachel kept us updated and informed of all new possibilities as they came up. At no point did we feel we were being pressured or pushed. Rachel has an honesty and rapport that allowed us to make decisions according to our timeline. Once we were committed to buy, Rachel guided us through the process with complete professionalism. Her attention to detail is impressive and she provided superb liaison between parties, both during and after the sale was complete. We felt she went above and beyond the remit of her role as agent for the sale throughout. We would wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to potential buyers. She demonstrates respect, and probity to clients and has a fantastic personal touch. Thanks again Rachel.

It was such a pleasant process working with Rachel and Sophia to sell my home. They listened and delivered the results I wanted as well as being super accommodating to my busy lifestyle during the process. Rachel is very upfront and honest and knows her stuff very well. She ensures the vendor and buyer are both happy and the whole process is stress free. Thank you so much team, will definitely work with you both again in the future!

We would not hesitate to use Rachel Hooper again or recommend her to help with the sale of a property. Rachel listed and sold our lifestyle property for us. She was fantastic through the whole process; from listening to our ideas and giving hers to create a really unique, attractive marketing package for potential buyers, organising and taking people on elaborate viewings through a multitude of terrains (taking a good hour each time to really show the property’s assets), to the all important negotiating stage. We firmly believe that Rachel’s approachable manner, positivity, professional nature and extensive experience got our sale across the line. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel was the best real estate agent to work with. The first time I met her she had a lovely aura about her. Very smiley, friendly and most of all honest. She knew so much about the house she was selling and was able to answer most of my questions, and for the ones she did not know she told me she would find out and get back to me. She got back to me every time she said she would. Rachel quickly adapted to my needs at work, by this I mean she realised I was very hard to get in touch with through phone call and started sending text messages asking if she can call. I was then able to call her when it suited me as I have a busy job. Rachel was phenomenal with negotiations between us and the vendors. Everything seemed so stress free and we were able to mutually agree on most things without the need of having to involve lawyers. I have already recommended Rachel to other people and would 100% work with her in the future.
