Kerif Smerdon

Kia Ora Jodi Ratahi Kerif Smerdon I just wanted to sincerely express my thanks and gratitude for all that you ladies have done for me. I can always count on you both to give me sound advice and honest feedback. You continually have my back and are constantly going ABOVE AND BEYOND your job description. I always feel a lot calmer after communicating with you both and appreciate the time you put into making sure I am fully informed. Having one consultant I trust whole heartedly is fantastic but having two is an absolute blessing. You really are the most amazing wahine. Ngā mihi, Tia

She and Jodi are such a great team. Kerif would update me with anything or check on me if Jodi wasn't available. They are both huge asset to Ray White

She's an awesome person, very positive and everything is possible with her. I'm glad that I chose her team. Your company should be proud to have her.

Very professional approach. Keeping me in the loop that was great

Kerif was respectful, supportive and made the whole experience For Christine and her family so easy, I would have no reservations in recommending her to anyone buying or selling their home

I had the lovely experience of finding Kerif and Jodi to sell my property and was done with such ease, I could not believe how fast and easy it was. I highly recommend them for anyone that wants the top notch selling team, cheers you two. PS loving the hamper..xox E Beresford.

My name is Glen Brinkler. Settlement was finalised last Friday. Jodi Ratahi and Kerif Smerdon were the agents managing the sale on my behalf. Jodi and Kerif were a pleasure to deal with during the entire process. They gave open and honest professional advice, demonstrated an excellent understanding of the Rotorua market and local property values, and offered constructive suggestions on what I needed to do to complete a quick sale that met my needs. Although I am originally from Rotorua, I don’t live there and have not done so for many years. Jodi and Kerif clearly understand what the local market is doing, and I found their advice on that really valuable. No question, they understand the current market and their customers. Jodi and Kerif kept me well informed of progress during the sale process and were able to bring me a conditional offer very quickly. They are professional, knowledgeable and great at what they do. They are a credit to Eves and I have no hesitation in recommending them to others looking to sell a property in Rotorua. Thank you ladies.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! For selling our house, 2 Cochrane St. You got an amazing price and we couldn’t be where we are today without your help. Thanks for all the counselling sessions on the phone, help, expertise, professionalism and just being so so awesome. You and Jodi have a great partnership going on and it was an absolute pleasure working with you guys. We are really happy in our new whare and working on filling it up with baby number 2 on the way in March. Hope you and your whanau are well and have a fabulous Christmas Arohanui

Jodi & Kerif, you did an amazing job and lots of hard work and we appreciate your expertise, professionalism and general awesomeness – you rock !!! You got us the best price for our whare and we are so very grateful. Arohanui Arohanui Jo, Alvaro, Toqui & pepi

I would like to say we needed a straight forward and quick sale which is exactly what Kerif and Jodi delivered. Accurate information and communication was ongoing and was an all around pleasant experience with minimal stress! Thank you! Suzanne & Rob Sweeney

Kerif made our dreams a reality at the most opportune time! Kerif's knowledge of the Ngongotaha area and surrounds was invaluable to us during the process of selling our house. She was very efficient in communicating with us and listening to our concerns. We were able to be honest about what weren't comfortable with and she was equally the same which made the experience easier to deal with. There were moments where we felt disheartened the house would never sell but Kerif (and her colleague Jodi Ratahi) put our minds at ease and continued to do the hard work to make it happen. The sale went through two weeks before Christmas and we enjoyed one of our best Christmas' ever with our family. Dahlia & Dion Verified by RateMyAgent

Was very helpful with her knowledge and experience. Kerif was very helpful with her knowledge and experience especially for a first home buyer. Had good communication as there was a difficult tenant in the house which made viewings very difficult. If there were any issues or questions they were sorted in a timely manner.

Sale of two properties in Rotorua. Jodi and Kerif were great to deal with. Communication was quick and easy and they were very professional. John Wilde Verified by RateMyAgent

A Hard Sell The sale of our Ngongotaha property was not without its challenges, from a tenant who constantly cancelled open homes to a neighbour who told prospective buyers the house wasn't worth the asking price. Kerif persevered with professionalism and patience, and kept us up to speed every step of the way. Couldn't have asked for better. Karen & Dave Verified by RateMyAgent

Favorite agent We purchased a home in Rotorua and sold it 12 months later with kerrif acting as agent on both occasions we found kerrif to be both efficient and obliging every step of the way we would not hesitate to engage her services again Kevin & Catherine Reid Verified by RateMyAgent

Excellent Agent Kerif was very professional to deal with. She was very informative through out the transaction and helped us out at each step. We had tried another real estate agent who failed to sell our property and as soon as we listed with Kerif our property got sold. Wish we had tried Kerif in the first place. We are very happy with her service.Top agent in Rotorua :) Nitin, Auckland NZ Verified by RateMyAgent

Thanks for 2 great sales! Kerif in partnership with Jodi form a fantastic team with complimentary skills, vast industry experience and the market knowledge to appraise and sell to meet current demand. Kerif & Jodi sold 2 home and income properties for us and achieved a great outcome for each. Kerif will be the first person I contact when I'm ready to sell my next property.

I decided once kids went to university and was left on my own decided to downsize and get a house with a garage for more storage. I forgot how stressful buying and selling would be and at times I wanted to give up. Jodi and Kerif made the transition easier and took away a lot of the stress. I got my next home. And now the garage is full with the kids things they didn’t take to university. I have a flatter easier care section and have a friend just down the road. So would highly recommend these guys, Thanks so much.

I was recently contemplating selling a property at Rotorua and I live two hours away and that to me seemed a problem as this was a first time. Friends from there said ,contact Kerif and Jodi at eves real estate they have the best reputation for sales and purchases . I met Kerif and Jodi and I could tell that they would do their very best for me. I was amazed at the work research on recent sales in the area and how the photos. Made the property look smarter and the advertising was designed for buyers of my place, success in only a few weeks and all done so smoothly. Many thanks ladies, it was a pleasant experience and I would highly recommend Kerif and Jodi at eves for a good result.

The decision to sell the whanau home and enlist an agent who could sell it with minimum fuss was priority. I approached 4 real estates in one day to seek a real estate agent. I feel it is important to mention this as first impressions count. Well that day I kept walking till I found Jodi Ratahi & Kerif Smerdon. What has been evident is Jodi and Kerif demonstrate they listen to learn, not just listen to respond. Their in-depth knowledge of Rotorua and surrounding districts, their enthusiasm, honesty, compassion and care support their mission statement. “It’s about how we can work together to achieve your goals”. My description of Jodi and Kerif… “He aha te mea nui o tea o, He tangata, he tangata, he tangata” What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people, it is the people, it is their people…. Nga mihi Nui Miria Hamiora

Very Nice and helpful agent. Kerif/Jodi was a very helpful from start to finish. Thanks a lot.

My journey involved agents from six different real estate agencies in town to find the best to satisfy my criteria. The best solution was not one agent, but two! I would happily recommend Jodi & Kerif to friends and family.

After a careful selection process to find the vest agents to sell our property, Jodi and Kerif were by far a standout from the rest. They listened, they advised, they consulted, and they acted. Thanks for all your hard work.

WOW, what a team! Sold after just two open homes! Jodi and Kerif were right on the ball, the information and guidance they gave us was 100% accurate. They certainly delivered for us.

Just a brief note to say thanks to both of you for your efforts with the sale of our place. We haven’t gone back and counted the days, we know it wasn’t many at all, what an unbelievable outcome. Asking price blown out of the water as well. Sold with 1 Open Home. Again, thank you very much for your efforts, contacts and updates was a good experience with good people from a good company. Thank You both.

We recently purchased a home through Jodi and Kerif, by far the best agents we’ve dealt with. Extremely helpful, friendly and down to earth.

I would like to acknowledge and give thanks to your real estate agents, Jodi Ratahi and Kerif Smerdon. Jodi and Kerif were able to find me the perfect home. The girls were very understanding of what my needs were, and with their help, I was able to secure the purchase of a wonderful property. Jodi and Kerif's care and attention in helping me navigate the purchase of my property was awesome. I was dealing with negotiations and contracts that were at times overwhelming, but Jodi and Kerif's professional support and guidance meant I ultimately finalised a successful purchase. I thank them very much, for, without their efforts, this would not have been possible.

Having recently sold my portfolio of properties, I would like to convey my thanks and appreciation to Kerif and Jodi. Having a number of properties to sell it was important that I choose the right agents to act on my behalf. After speaking to numerous agents in Rotorua, all of whom I found to be professional and competent, I choose Kerif and Jodi. Both of these ladies know the business inside out but what impressed me most was their work ethic. There were no pressure selling tactics and they worked extremely hard to achieve my objectives. All of my properties achieved more than my expectations. I would have no reservations in recommending Kerif and Jodi to anyone contemplating selling or buying a property. Well done.

Jodi and Kerif were amazing and we are very pleased we found them at the right time, they went above and beyond. When we first got in contact with Jodi and Kerif about wanting to sell our house they come and met with us as soon as possible. Their easy going, caring, relaxed and professional attitudes made it easy for us to trust them with our house sale and look no further. Jodi and Kerif were always easy to get in contact with and were always clear and straight forward and helpful with us and our decisions and ideas we had towards the sale of our family home of 15 plus years. They made the sale of our home so easy and relaxing and we are grateful. Not only did Jodi and Kerif do an awesome job on the sale of our family home they also assisted the current tenants in finding a new home before their final date. I highly recommend these two women when finding someone to assist you in real estate. Thankyou Jodi and Kerif you two are awesome.

I set out to find an agent that could deliver exceptional results while possessing great communication, enthusiasm and industry know-how. On top of all this I was looking for an enjoyable experience while selling my properties. My journey involved interviewing agents from six different real estate agencies in town to find the best to satisfy my criteria. The best solution was not one agent, but two! The combination of Jodi and Kerif complements both their personalities and service to their clients. My personal experience and results achieved were well above my expectations and I would happily recommend to friends and family.

We purchased a house recently through Jodi and Kerif at Eves. Their service was amazing!!! They went above and beyond to ensure the purchase went through for us. They negotiated with all the parties involved, being that the purchaser of houses are not always straight forward at the moment. We now have a lovely home in Rotorua. Thank you so much Jodi and Kerif 😊

Thank you Kerif and Jodi, what an awesome, honest and hard-working team to work with. As first-time sellers we felt very informed in all areas of the sale and communication was great the whole way through. What a relief to find such honest, down to earth and supportive agents, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you both and to have you in our home. A super speedy sale and extremely professional experience. Than you! Darren, Rebecca and Mia
