The sixth annual awards ceremony was held last night (29th February) at Naumi Hotel, Wellington, hosted by local comedian Ben Hurley.
The RateMyAgent Awards recognises Australia and New Zealand’s top real estate agents, property managers and mortgage brokers and celebrates their dedication to the highest standards of customer service.
The event is the only real estate industry awards where customer satisfaction is the cornerstone of the selection criteria, rather than sales volume.
Award winners and nominees are the most highly recommended performers by local New Zealand vendors. They are selected based on customer satisfaction ratings across the country and total number of reviews collected.
“The RateMyAgent Awards acknowledge real estate agents and agencies who go above and beyond for their vendors,” said RateMyAgent CEO Michael Davey.
“Performance-based reviews are essential in enabling agents to stand out, and they’re also the main criteria toward receiving a RateMyAgent Award. Our nominees and winners have received the highest satisfaction rating across the country in the 2023 calendar year – that’s something to be extremely proud of.”
“A huge congratulations to all winners and nominees of 2024, and we look forward to another great year of elevating real estate agents all across the country,” said Davey.
Ray White Whangarei & Tutukaka took home 16 awards including: Agency of the Year (Northland); Top 10 Agency of the Year (#3 in North Island); Top 100 Agency of the Year NZ (#7); Agency of the Year (Avenues, Horahora, Kamo, Kauri, Kensington, Maungakaramea, Maunu, Onerahi, Parua Bay, Raumaunga, Tikipunga, Whangarei Heads and Whau Valley).
The following Ray White Whangarei sales team were also recognised: Janet Bradfield – Agent of the Year (Onerahi); Daniel Foote – Agent of the Year (Parua Bay & Whangarei Heads); Zoltan Waxman (#4 Agent of the Year, Northland); Thomas Reil – Agent of the Year (Kamo), Top 5 Agent of the Year (Northland), and Top 100 Agent of the Year (New Zealand).
“Customer loyalty is deeply embedded in the culture of Ray White, and as a team, we are passionate about providing superior customer experience to every client. There are a lot of ranking systems and recognition programs that award you for your sales and other performance metrics, but very few measure performance from a customer perspective – and that is what makes this recognition so special.
‘Recognition for our commitment to customer satisfaction is an honour – it is the most important part of the service we provide.” Vanessa McKenzie, Director of Ray White Whangarei said
“We work for our customers – without compromise! . To be named Northland’s Agency of the Year, and to also come in at Number 7 nationally, is a true honour. At the end of the day, our agents are dedicated to delivering the very best service to their customers. That’s our biggest success.” adds Rod Parkinson, fellow Director.
