From the start Lorraine has been nothing but professional with excellence in communication and support through the negotiation. Also she was so lovely with Mum (who is 94) and always so patient always taking all the time needed to ensure everything was clear and understood.
Very friendly and knowledgeable she kept in touch with us throughout the whole process of buying our home

We live in Australia and Lorraine was the best! She was so very helpful on every aspect. She went above and beyond for us and we wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without her. Thank you.
We absolutely loved working with Lorraine and would recommend her to anyone. She is great at communicating and went above and beyond for us
Lorraine was very helpful throughout the whole sale. She is very quick to reply and performed her job to the highest degree.
Being first time sellers, this experience was made so much easier with Lorraine, she always made us feel like we were number 1, NEVER too busy for you. From the get go, FULL communication ANY time of the day (except for a couple of hours in the arvo to attend to farming duties) whether it be by text, email or a quick chat, Lorraine's advice and our 20 thousand questions were always answered. But most importantly, this lady has a BIG heart. Thank you so much Lorraine for making the process as stress-free as possible considering we live in another town and knowing that the place we used to call home with massive memories, is going to be loved by the new owner. We are so stoked to have found you to be our agent and really grateful that you said "yes". 100% top notch lady.

Honest and thorough information and advice - check. Empathetic when dealing with us - check. Respectful of our mother's needs - check. Patient with our practical constraints and decision making - check. Going above and beyond with practical support - check. It was a quick and hassle-free sale. There is nothing Lorraine could have done better.
Lorraine is great! Extremely helpful and very easy to work with which made our process so much easier & less daunting. Thanks Lorraine!
Lorraine is the sole reason we live in our dream house now. We were two first time NZ house buyers with no idea how to go about buying a house. Lorraine took us through all of it, explained everything for us, kept us really well informed and just always went over and above for us. She answered our many many stupid questions and supported us through everything. Now we live in a home we love and she continues, even now, to come to our rescue with answers to our still stupid questions.
Lorraine was incredibly helpful and very kind and went above and beyond in helping us buy our new home. She is a fantastic real estate agent.
Lorraine was always supportive and talked you through anything that came up.
Right from the moment we showed interest in the property Lorraine was amazing. She answered all our questions and was always happy to help where she could. She made the whole process very stress free.
Lorraine was very helpful and conscientious.
I was a Ray white sales person for a number of years so know the company. This time I became aware through the purchase of a property marketed by Lorraine Fox. Being new to the area I consider myself lucky to have meet Lorraine Fox as the agent for the property I purchased. She went above and beyond.
Lorraine is a very professional and knowledgeable real estate agent. She kept in contact and provided information freely. She was so easy to get along with and made our journey a pleasant experience.
