So much more than just a Real Estate Agent. Her Market knowledge was amazing, her communication was spot on and she was so understanding, patient and relatable. She is such a friendly, kind and warm hearted person. I could tell she is a genuinely good person with the right intentions as soon as I met her. Once she sold our property, she then helped us find the perfect home to buy. She has been right by our side supporting us from the moment we reached out to her. Our circumstances were far from straight forward, and she helped us in so many different ways I have lost count. We wouldn't have done it without her. Minda is now a close friend of ours who I would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Minda had an excellent understanding and balance between buyer and seller to manage the sale process. Few agents have this skill. The professionalism and empathy in particular made her stand out from her peers. If I was going to sell again, she would be my first point of call.

I contacted Minda after the death of my mother to talk about selling her house. Minda showed empathy and was very professional taking us through the procedure and because she had sold properties in the village where Mums house was, was able to give us pretty accurate advice on what the property was worth. Once on the market she kept us informed of enquiry level etc. She understood the rules of the village and procedure to take clients through regarding monthly costs, one off figure on purchase. We were able to get on with our daily lives knowing it was getting professionally handled. The time that it took to sell in our current market was within 3 months of listing which we were extremely happy with. Thank you for all your effort, Minda.

I met a few people in Whangareis Ray Whites while looking for a house to buy your receptionist is a very friendly helpful lady and nothing was too much trouble. Minda was outstanding super helpful and had great contact with me throughout the auction process and time leading up to it. I would use this team if I was to sell and would highly recommend them to anyone to buy or sell through. I used Mike Pero in the Bay of Islands and your standard is far superior to theirs I would put your name before theirs as a recommendation in every way. Minda is a super friendly absolutely lovely lady I enjoyed dealing with her and was most grateful for the beautiful house warming gifts she left us. Thank you so very much !!

As we searched for a new home Scott and I met dozens of real estate agents eager to help us through the process. Minda was one of those agents and it is through these interactions that we knew she was the agent we wanted to represent our home…and we are so grateful we did! Her communication is absolutely amazing. Her response time is milliseconds and had us feeling as though we were an absolute priority. Genuine and empathetic, Minda is acutely aware of how incredibly stressful selling a home is and always left us feeling as though each concern we had was valid and rationale! Don’t be fooled by her unwavering calm demeanour… Minda is like a dog with a bone when it came to selling our home. Persistent, relentless and tenacious. We warmly recommend Minda to all future buyers and sellers without hesitation. Scott and Rochelle

My Ray White experience was very professional and pleasant because I had Minda looking after me. I understand clearly this is a business and almost cut throat field to be working in but Minda went far and beyond for my situation and for the best outcome as speedy as possible. She should be acknowledged for her commitment to people all while presenting herself professionally with exceptional service . She's a gem and deserves an award for had it not been for her I think my situation would have been awful. She kept me informed daily and pointed me in the right direction for immediate results. You are very lucky to have an employee like her I'm sure and I hope there are more in the company similar but clearly no where near her standards. I have family and they will only be using her in future and I hope the word spreads . I'm not writing this because I made alot of money I certainly did not. I'm writing this in hopes she will be acknowledged as someone others in her field can strive to be more like. It's the little things in life. Because of her I avoided a mortgagee sale and bankruptcy but I have that debt gone and I have my health and the best children in the world. Thank you Minda for making this extremely painful experience go away with the utmost understanding for me as a woman and mother people like you are very rare. Kindest regards always Hurricane Heather

Minda is a genuinely caring, respectful women who is extremely kind and thoughtful. She made the selling process very smooth. We had a few offers which we weren’t quite happy with. She continued to work hard and find buyers to show through our home. Minda brought us a cash, unconditional offer which we couldn’t resist. We were so happy with the outcome.

Minda is a truly amazing lady. Professional yet friendly, she cares and always kept me up-to-date plus answered my silly txt questions straight away even though she must be a very busy lady. I love Minda's cheerful nature, her honesty, her humbleness and her kindness. She really is a huge asset to Ray White I feel. I know my home at this time was a hard sell and I became quite anxious there for a while, but Minda assured me she would do her best, she listened to my concerns and had empathy. I really appreciate Minda for meeting me where I was at. I would definitely and strongly recommend Minda to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home. She will be there for you 100%. I feel Minda has become a dear friend, she helped make my emotional journey and exit from my beloved home a pleasant one - this I will treasure forever.

Dearest Minda..I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU for the help and guidance you gave me thru the process of purchasing this beautiful townhouse for my granddad. From the time I met you and explained the urgency of getting granddad into a safe comfortable environment close to my home, you understood how important this was to me. Your guidance along the way was so much appreciated, being this was a very stressful time for myself and my 90 year old grand-dad. You were professional and thorough and you let your kind heart shine thru. From the first point of viewing to the end sale, you made me feel like NO QUESTION was a silly one, and sorry, i probably asked a few dumb ones haha. I would also like to mention the thought you put in when buying a housewarming gift for Granddad, it was perfect, and he still raves on about the shortbread with the Tui haha... Once again, I truly thank you for all you have done, and for helping me find that special home for Granddad.. p.s I would also like to mention a Big Thank you to another one of your agents, Janet Bradfield, who i made contact with while looking at a previous unit, she was also extremely professional and helpful in every way. Ray White, you have some real winners in your team x Merry Christmas to you all, keep safe and well x Pauline Cunningham

Minda is amazing! Her attention to detail and understanding our needs and requirements are second to none. She really goes out of her way for her clients and works relentlessly to achieve the best result. Not only does she get great results, she feels like part of the family while working with you and our little girl is already asking where Minda is, as she always made time for her when she popped in. We told Minda our dream price before we started and she smashed it out of the park. Minda really does make it happen!

I would like to bring to your attention the fantastic service we received from both Minda Ross and Janine Roughton in regards to a section we recently purchased in Maunu. This transaction was completed from out of town and during Covid without hassle. Both ladies had excellent, honest and timely communication skills. I have been particularly impressed with the follow up service from Minda in regard to sourcing further information quickly on my behalf from the seller and local council. They really do give Ray White a good name. So much so that when I have built a house on the land highly likely I will get Ray White to manage the rental.

Our sale was conducted through the COVID lock downs which presented some significant challenges but Minda was very good at working through the issues and providing practical solutions. She was very good at consulting with us and involving us in all decisions including marketing and her suggestions were always very well thought out. We liked how she was prepared to get other opinions (from colleagues) on aspects of the sale to ensure she had the best and most appropriate approach. Minda is very personable and caring which we really appreciated. Despite all the challenges we faced with our house sale it finally went through and we were very happy with the outcome.

Thanks to Minda's capable and thorough process, my house sold barely after a month has passed. From the beginning I knew I had chosen a person of integrity.

She has patience, foresight and strength of character, appearing unruffled and motivated by challenges.

Minda just sold our property! I first met Minda prior to her career in Real Estate. I knew within the first few minutes, that she was a genuine, thoughtful, and caring person. And her customer service was faultless!! Fast forward five or so years.....these qualities still define her character and personality. TRUE TO MINDA'S MOTTO: she makes it happen, not just for her clients, but herself as well!! We have absolutely NO REGRETS to list with an agent. Minda's empathy, and ability to adapt to our changing circumstances was truly remarkable!! Minda's disposition: always professional, confident, happy, and a warm smile that would keep anyone calm under pressure!! She maybe "short in stature", but she stands "very tall" in her career with ... She really is the full package!!

Minda recently sold our home and was so awesome to deal with. Always professional, but very caring at the same time. I always felt confident that Minda was in our corner and working so hard to help us achieve our goals. I really hope I get to deal with Minda again some day and highly recommend her services.

Josie Whall

I have been very fortunate to have Minda sell three houses for me in the last three years. One of them had been on the market with another agency for quite a while and when I gave Minda the listing she had it sold in no time. In two of the sales she actually got me more than the asking price! Her amazing advice and sincerity was so special during some very trying personal circumstances. She's my go-to agent if I need a property sold.

Linda & Alan Tyson

Where do we find the words to thank you for what you have achieved for us. From the moment we listed our two properties with you we have received nothing but exceptional service. You have given 110% effort to the process of selling our two properties, going beyond the call of duty to help us market them to their best potential.

Due to your excellent negotiating skills, we have achieved an outcome we are over the moon with. We feel you are totally professional and reliable in all you that you do and you are without a doubt definitely the best real estate agent in Whangarei. Thank you once again Minda.
