Great communicator

Gemma sold my mother's house for house for us and achieved an outstanding result. All along the communication has been fantastic, especially important when my brothers and I live out of town. Hard to find fault with her professionalism and very pleasant to deal with too.

Jodi Fata

Gemma provided fantastic customer service and was very helpful throughout the buying process. She was very professional and did everything she said she would

Kylie

Responsive

Gemma listened to our needs and used her strong market insight to find appropriate houses for
us to view to meet our needs and also test our preconceptions resulting in a great outcome.

Gary Wilson

Awesome as always

Gemma has been so awesome to deal with. I had quite a specific list of things I needed and she helped me find exactly what I wanted. She was incredible when the budget we were working with kept changing, she would be willing to find places to check out.

Emma Davy

Great agent to sell your house.

Gemma has been so good to deal with from start to finish. Always kept in contact on any news regarding the house, and where its feedback was and the people that had come to visit. Gemma has always been upfront and honest even if you didn't want to hear what she had to say, and this is important if you are selling your house.

I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Gemma to sell your house.

Jason Barnes

Gemma is both professional and friendly. She does what she says she is going to do, and is there on time. But the best part is that she sold our house unconditional within six days!

Cass & Matt Nelson

We listed with Gemma after unsuccessfully listing with another agent/agency for 3 months. Gemma was the consummate professional; easy to work with, practical, honest, direct with her feedback & made the process quick & easy. She sold our house within 3 weeks.I totally recommend Gemma as a first class professional.

Rose Macfarlane and John Grant

Gemma Lewell is the ultimate professional in her field. She is prompt and has excellent communication throughout the sales process and beyond. The sale was efficient and we were kept informed at all times. She has great knowledge and works really hard at getting the very best outcome for all. She is honest and her advice is practical and forthright. I have usually sold privately as have been skeptical about using Real Estate Agents but I can hand on heart say we got a far better outcome working with Gemma than had we gone on our own and thoroughly recommend if you are thinking of selling to give her a call.

Shannon Galloway

Before choosing an agent I spent a long time researching sales in the Waikato and I watched Gemma market and quickly sell similar properties to ours. Gemma did an exceptional job selling our property, getting us a successful offer, for asking price, two days after listing. Gemma’s marketing was top quality, creative and interesting. This resulted in our property being put in front of the right people and ultimately a buyer quickly making an offer. Her communication is exceptional and she kept us well informed every step of the way right up to settlement. I highly recommend Gemma, she is a delight to work with and I am so glad we choose her to sell our property.

Jenny & Pete Tibbotts

She is really awesome and reliable. I never waited for a response from her, even on weekends. Will definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Aivee Matalote

I can’t put into words how amazing our experience with Gemma was. Gemma put us at complete ease and is brilliant at her job! I can’t recommend her enough she is refreshingly honest! Trustworthy! Extremely considerate and patient. Get listed with Gemma you won’t regret it!

Lorna & Dayne Hawkes

Gemma is a fabulous real estate agent. She was professional, incredibly helpful, generous with her time and just all ‘round awesome when she helped me to find my home. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Gemma!

Carla Sargent

I have worked with Gemma to buy a property and to sell the same property years later.  She is genuine and straight to the point and its great that she is really is interested in what I think and need. I did love her recommendation to clear away all my stuff and de clutter the house when selling.  This proved to be a great help in getting me organised and the house looked unusually tidy and well presented!! Thanks Gemma - have already told everyone how great you are!!!!!

Robyn Cameron

Thank you so much for being so wonderful. You made selling my house so much less stressful than it could have been and thank you so much for the lovely gift.

Andrea Johns

Gemma, came on board after we were ditched by our first agent and took on a pair of concerned people who had lost trust in Agents. Gemma was amazing in getting the ball rolling and sold our house within 3 weeks!!!! Multi offers as well. Made the process which was already stressful, easy and smooth. I can’t wait to look for another house to buy, as we will be using Gemma hands down! Best agent around. Get in touch with her if you need to sell or buy a property.

Ben & Natalie Anderson

I would like to thank Gemma for doing a wonderful job selling our house under such trying circumstances. Throughout the process Gemma remained open and honest and kept all parties informed of how the sale was progressing. Gemma was very professional in her approach and I cannot speak highly enough of her great attitude and pleasant demeanor. If you are looking for an agent who will go the extra mile, is honest and will consider all of the intricacies that come with selling your home, then Gemma is that person.

Alan Wilkie

Exceeded all our expectations. Efficient, friendly and congenial. Smart presentation on a personal level. Good ambassador for Lodge Real Estate Company. Handled the sale to our best advantage.

Lynn Hardaker & Brian Oden

I have dealt with Gemma for around 3 years. She is one of the easiest agents to deal with and always professional but also fun to be around.

Troy Hillard

Gemma is an honest, reliable and thoughtful real estate professional. Her knowledge of the market and the suburbs I was looking to purchase in was exceptionally useful. Not only did Gemma help me with the procurement of my new house she was also a great source of information and ideas when I was renovating the house after I’d purchased and moved in. The fact that she was available and willing to give of her time after the sale shows how much she still cares for her clients even after all the paperwork is done, I felt this highlighted a very strong customer focus and care.

Matt Smith

Gemma helped me to look for my first home years before I even actually bought it. She sure puts in a lot of time and effort! When we finally purchased our first home she was by our side the whole way keeping us updated and now we’ve just sold that first home with Gemma which was quickly snapped up with multiple offers thanks to her amazing real estate skills!

Emma & Jared Stewart

Looking for and purchasing a house with Gemma was a hassle-free and enjoyable experience. Gemma’s understanding of what I was looking for in a property was spot on and her advice and support was awesome! I would highly recommend Gemma and Lodge Rototuna.

Matt Barlow

Gemma worked tirelessly for us from the day we signed on and didn't stop until she ultimately enabled us to sell at a price above our expectations.The value Gemma provided was far greater than any savings we might have made by avoiding the use of a professional agent. I would recommend Gemma Lewell with reservation to anybody intent on selling their property.

Al & Rachel Ritchie

I want to thank you for everything you have done for the marketing and selling of Mum's house. I could not have asked for a more professional approach and your communication skills are to be admired. I can see why you won the "Rookie of the Year" award and I wish you well with your future career.I will have no hesitation in using you again and I will recommend you to any potential seller or buyer

William

Gemma was very friendly and helpful and our experience buying our home was a positive one

Andrew & Julie Smith

We had been looking for our first home for several months without much luck until we met Gemma! We gave her our wish (demand) list and the first house she showed us was absolutely perfect and ticked all the boxes. We found the home buying process a little daunting at first but with Gemma's honesty and amazing advice, our offer was accepted and we moved in a month later and haven't looked back! There's only one word for Gemma Lewell - LEGEND

Jessica Watson & Timo Fogelberg

Gemma very quickly found out what I was looking for in a property and the price range I was working within. I was glad she didn't try to show me houses that wouldn't suit me or places that were out of my price range. She never pressured me at any stage and patiently showed me houses and let me make my own decisions without talking too much and trying to 'sell' me a property like some agents do.She kept my informed at all times and supported me through the stressful moving day. She shared my relief and happiness in purchasing my own home and her gift to welcome me was greatly appreciated.I have no hesitation in recommending Gemma as a real estate agent and will pass on her name to anyone who requires the services of an agent in the future.Thanks Gemma for making the whole thing happen and I wish you lots of success with your future sales.

Robyn Cameron

What can we say other than Gemma was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we are thoroughly happy that we met her. Honestly cannot have done anymore for us. Thanks Gemma! Awesome communication and people skills.

Michael Sinclair & Ann-Marie Good

Gemma ensured we were kept informed throughout the process, enabling a prompt offer on the property and a straight forward negotiation and settlement. Many thanks.

Alison Finnigan

Thank you so much for your help in finding a property to purchase. We just love our new home and couldn't be happier with it or the process of finding it with your help. You listened very well to us and clearly understood our needs and preferences, showing us several homes all of which had many features we loved. We appreciated your professionalism and the way you kept us fully informed throughout the negotiations. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends and family and other contacts we may have in the future who are needing help to either buy or sell property. Congratulations on the award you won of "Rookie of the Year 2011/2012" at the recent annual sales awards. From our experience we know you fully deserve it and we wish you well in the future, Gemma. Again thanks so much.

Deane & Carole Garratt

As first time home buyers going in blind Karl and I would not have been able to do it all without Gemma, who really went the extra mile for us. Gemma was always available to show us through houses as well as looking out for houses for us and always being available for all those little questions. Gemma really listened to our wants and needs and was always really friendly and professional. Gemma really works for you and with you and never puts any pressure on. Without a doubt we would highly recommend using Gemma as your real estate agent and we will definitely be keeping in touch with Gemma for our future needs.

Karl Thompson and Lisa Gifkins

I would like to take this time to thank Gemma for all the hard work she put into finding our home. It took a while to find just the right one, but in the end we found it. Gemma took all my considerations on board and was able to come up with multiple solutions and I thank her.

Shannon Martin

We found Gemma extremely helpful in helping us find our first home. It was great the extra mile she went to help us view properties, and check in on us - even when she was away on holiday! As first home buyers it was nice knowing that we could ask her anything and she would have an answer or be able to point us in the right direction, this made things a whole lot less stressful.

Stacey Smith & Bryan Preece

Gemma has very good marketing skills and Mums unit had plenty of people through in the first week which resulted in a quick sale. Gemma kept us well informed with updates and was calm and supportive during negotiations. Thank you once again.

Lyn, Tony and Margaret

Gemma Lewell in one word "Amazing". Gemma was punctual, approachable and informed about the market values, precise in all her dealings, confident in handling both buyers/sellers during my sale/purchase. Gemma was professional, in both conduct and appearance, generous with her time and has a lovely personality that put me at ease and gave me confidence to pursue a property that I now am so happy to reside in. Thank you so much Gemma, job well done!

Deanne Freemantle

We really admired the professional service that we got, we were kept in the loop from beginning to end, the end result was well above what we expected, our agent got above asking price. Great marketing and negotiating skills, really nice to deal with, we would use her again.

Dennis & Maxine Mouranga

Gemma is so awesome and reliable. Our house wouldn't have settled so well without her support. She is so considerate and generous. You know she will be here to support your back whenever you need help. We are so lucky to have her as our first agent. Gemma will provide both professional and genuine personal advice when you have questions. Thanks again Gemma!

Rina & Andrew

Thank you to Gemma for the great assistance in purchasing our house in Hamilton. As we couldn’t travel out of Auckland Gemma went above and beyond taking us through the house by FaceTime. Helping us manage all the hoops in the purchase process. Wonderful service made the process easy.

Jeff

We didn’t know where to start when choosing an agent to sell our home but a referral from a stranger on a plane led us to Neil and Gemma. We thought we’d talk to a couple of different teams from various agencies but after meeting with Neil we knew that we were sorted. Neil and Gemma were extremely professional, offered us great advice, problem solved a couple of issues along the way and promptly got the ball rolling on the sale of our home. They were always available to answer any questions and before we knew it we were flooded with offers and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. If you’re looking to sell give these guys a ring. You won’t be disappointed.

Jenelle and Shaun

Gemma and Neil were so helpful with assisting us purchasing our first home. They made the process very easy and stress free, very fast at communicating with us and nothing was too hard. We will definitely work with them if we ever want to buy again or even sell!

Apryl and Fynn

House buying with ease.

Gemma made the whole experience a pleasure and made us feel at ease. Was helpful throughout the whole process, from suggesting lawyers and building inspectors, to private viewings.

Emma Davey

Gemma & Neil brought a wealth of experience, knowledge and heart to help us in the sale of our property. Their guidance, suggestions and supportive manner was much appreciated during this process. Always one step ahead, making sure things ran like clockwork was very reassuring and a sense of humour helped keep things in perspective. A very organised and professional manner instilled confidence. Their knowledge of the market couldn’t have made this easier for us.

Nicki Bennett

A great selling experience and wonderful outcome.

I would recommend Gemma to sell your home. My elderly mother was in need of a quick sale and Gemma stepped in with a professional attitude, not pushy, communicated well and got the job done. Selling a home in a retirement village has its challenges and extra renovations had to be done while on the market. Thank you for your expertise.

Lydia Stevens

Zoe was our buyers agent and supported us into a fantastic property with ease. If we were to sell Zoe would be out first port of call.

Kirsty & Nick

Zoe exceeded my expectations! Super friendly, passionate and really took the time to understand what we were looking for in our next home. Highly recommend!!!

Nicola & Nick

We were recommended Zoe by a friend of ours, due to our house not getting any offers with another real estate for 2 months. Zoe had confidence she would sell the place and I trusted her 100%. She had our house sold with 1 week of marketing! She is passionate about her job and you will see that the first time you meet her! Which is why I will always recommend her to anyone either selling or buying a home in future. Thank you once again! It was a pleasure having you on board!

Lisa & Richard

Zoe was a true professional, with a fantastic attitude and great communication. Her initial assessment of our house, market knowledge and advice when to put it on the market was spot on. She worked hard for us to obtain the price we wanted and gave great advice around the offers we received and how to proceed. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Zoe as your real estate agent.

Roydon & Louise

Tej, we loved your positive attitude and genuine willingness to assist us. Personally, it was my first time going through this process and you explained things very well when I came across questions. We also really appreciated how readily available you were when we needed to contact you with our questions and concerns. We definitely had times as a family where we were stressed but you constantly reassured us that you were working hard to help us achieve our goal and you did indeed get us those results. Thank you so much again for acting as our agent during both the selling and buying process. We know it was not always smooth sailing for you with this property. You handled all obstacles professionally and always had a can-do attitude. We will definitely be recommending you to our family and friends. We wish you all the very best!

Singh & Kaur family

From meeting TJ at our first open home he was awesome and helpful. We were quick to realise the first property wasn't suitable for us, TJ was genuinely interested in what we were looking for. He went above and beyond in helping us find our home. TJ kept us informed of properties that came onto the market that may be suitable for us and organised for us to visit these properties promptly until we found our new family home. Thanks so much for all your help in finding us our home. It is greatly appreciated!

Lewis & Bernie Berdshaw

Dear Mike & Brenda, Many thanks for all you did to find us the perfect house.  You knew exactly what we wanted and found it for us.  You both went the extra mile to fit into our time schedules to buy our home.  Whether we are buying or selling you will be the agents we come to.  We have no hesitation in recommending you both to anyone who wants agents who listen to their clients and work hard for them.  Thanks again

Vince & Jill

Best salesperson that we have ever dealt with, Great Experience!  Tops in our books.

Warren & Deborah

Mike Thomas was a thorough professional, always approachable and achieved great speedy results.  He has now sold 2 of my properties and I will use him again for the next one.

Sandy

People complain about agent fees but you have earned every cent and have gone above and beyond the call of duty – we will definitely be recommending you.

Rick & Robyn

If you want a Real Estate Agency that works for the client, ensures a smooth transaction from listing to sale, Look no further than Lodge and in particular Mike Thomas – top in sales.

Diane

Mike Thomas did an amazing job – sold within one week.

Peter & Jane

We had the pleasure of buying our first home in 2001 from Mike Thomas in Hamilton and at the time was extremely happy and also amazed at how easy and straight forward the process was. We had friends who had horror stories about buying properties but I could not see what all the hassle was about. Mike was great to deal with and everything was a breeze. We moved overseas and rented out our property with the view to coming back at some stage but as our business grew we decided to sell. Since we had such a good experience with buying our property through Mike we decided to list with him. Again what an easy process! I came back to New Zealand on a planned business trip, went to Hamilton and saw Mike and the rest they say was history. Mike did a fantastic job of marketing our property and selling it under the hammer at auction. As we live overseas we were in the hands of who ever was acting for us and I can say 100% that we could not have been in better hands. Mike was super professional and great to be able to deal with the same person a decade later who knew us and the property.Thanks Mike!  We have recommended you to friends

Amanda Jones-Prichard

Chase recently sold our rental property in Hamilton. He was clear and concise in his communication, so nothing came as a surprise. Chase was great with organizing the whole process from marketing to open homes. We are out of town owners, so could not be there, however felt our asset was in very capable hands. Chase was fantastic with the tenants that were in the property, having a great deal of empathy and understanding for how the sell of the property affected them. The tenant stated he was respectful of her wishes and kind in his interactions with them. This was really appreciated. Would recommend Chase to anyone that was selling a home.
