Extremely professional, Very knowledgeable and amazing clear communication. We chose Sarah because she has become a family friend with our first-born children been the same age. I trust her with our son, so our house was a no brainer. However once listed Sarah was very professional and managed with ease to keep our friendship and vender relationship very separate. We set Sarah a task of selling our house before Christmas 2024. Once listed I was updated regularly on the interest of our home. Sarah felt that my price may have been a bit step and suggested a price that she felt we would both be happy with. Boom three weeks from listing house sold at full ask price, I mean what more do you want or can you say. We would highly recommend Sarah to be your next agent and who know she may become your friend ( she's not bad at that either )

Honest and Attentive. I first met Sarah when my Dad purchased a property through her several years ago. I was impressed with her honest and attentive approach. Having spent a few weeks looking for a property for myself recently I was relieved to see and engage Sarah in the job of finding us a new home. Again Sarah was honest, attentive and authentic. We had found, made an offer and moved into our new home within weeks of tasking her with the job. I would have no hesitation in engaging Sarah in either the sale or purchase of a property, already having mentioned her to several friends.

Amazing experience. After moving back to Whakatane after being away for 25 years it was a pleasure to have Sarah find a suitable home for me and keep me in the loop all the time. Her bubbly personality made it a pleasure to work with her and nothing was too much trouble at all . Thankyou

Sarah was amazing. She was friendly, easily contactable and offered good advice regarding the auction process. I would definitely recommend Sarah.

Sarah was an absolute professional from start to finish and showed that her commitment, energy, communication, marketing and attention to achieving the best result was first class. We have no hesitation in recommending Sarah to help both sellers and buyers with their real estate needs.

Sarah made the process very simple and offered great professional advice. She was always contactable, reliable and friendly. I would definitely recommend Sarah.

Exceptional agent. Sarah is a kind , hard-working, personable young lady who is extremely good at her job. She is an excellent communicator and never failed to keep me updated. She worked tirelessly to sell my house in a difficult market and achieved a sale satisfactory to all concerned. I have already recommended her to friends and tell anyone who is interested in selling their property to choose her as their agent - they won't regret it! Thank you Sarah

VERY EASY TO DEAL WITH AND RESPONDED VERY QUICKLY TO MESSAGES LEFT. SARAH WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE SALE PROCESS IN AN EASY TO UNDERSTAND WAY. ALWAYS HAD A SMILE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Sarah made the whole process stress free and was always available. Very professional and friendly

Super star agent. Love to say thank you Sarah and team for all working hard and helping me out with my property your guys are amazing thank you again.

Excellent agent. We have sold and bought with Sarah before, so we wouldn't think of using anyone one else. Sarah is so good at all aspects of her job from communication to organising trades. She is so helpful and nothing seems to faze her she is all about solutions not problems. We would highly recommend her.

Sarah has gone the extra mile once again .

Sarah is AMAZING!!! We would definately use her again. She was professional, caring, kept us informed on everything, kind, she worked extremely hard to get our property sold. We highly recommend her!!! 10/10

An Outstanding Real Estate Agent. As a Co-Executor and Trustee of my late friend's estate I felt it was a privilege to have Sarah Frater of the Property Brokers, Whakatane as our agent for selling the property. She began by giving us good background to the whole selling process, including market trends, and, following her appraisal, provided us with valuable suggestions as to what we needed to do to bring the property up to the standard necessary to offer maximum appeal to prospective buyers. The contractors she suggested to do the preparatory work plus the staging exceeded our expectations and her suggestion to sell by tender resulted us in achieving a really good sale price. She certainly put the hours in to ensure we got the best result possible

Super quick and stress free sale of our property. From the beginning to the end of the selling process I could not fault Sarah she was very fast with her correspondence she was professional knowledgeable and I just felt like she was very genuine and caring at the same time. The beautiful box of goodies and wine was a really lovely touch too! Thank you

Sarah was great to work with, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the property we were purchasing. Very smooth process and we’re happy with our new home

Sarah has great. Her advice all checked out when double-checking things. Overall I found her to be more trustworthy than some other agents agent. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling.

Sarah brought dignity, class, and professionalism to her work. She provided sufficient information and a backdrop for all that we needed. She never caused us to feel under pressure or obligation. We felt we could trust Sarah but also knew there was never a dumb question. In short, we gave her our list of priorities, and she delivered the goodies in a quick time. We could not have been happier and grateful to Sarah. From us selling with Property Brokers and then buying with Sarah was truly a top-shelf experience.

A breath of fresh air. Sarah is such an amazing person with a beautiful soul. She's personable and totally relatable. She worked so hard for us with a quick turnaround time. She was given a task and she definitely understood the assignment. I just knew from the moment I met her I could trust her in getting it done. I found Sarah after constantly seeing her posts etc popping up on my feeds. I wasn't following her but she kept making her presence known. Seeing a property down the road from us switch to her and get the results made me do a little big of digging. We were originally signed with a different agent and firm. We were frustrated with the lack of marketing and interest in our property with an agent we weren't happy with, so needing to change. After seeing Sarah getting results with other homes we chose her and it was the best decision we made! She was thorough and did not pressure us. Covered every basis and was only a call or text away. She constantly gave us updates of what she was doing and how things were progressing. A polar opposite experience from our first agent! Sarah is definitely a REAL estate agent. If you are looking for someone to work for you and willing to put in the effort then choose her. Honestly I don't have the words to describe how thankful I am. Also to add property brokers as a whole worked so awesome together was great. Thank you!

Sarah Frater was a friendly, professional agent who was perfect for our needs and situation.

Outstanding service with a personal touch. Sarah has very good knowledge on all the ins and outs for buying and selling property. She was always calm, constant and reliable and very trustworthy. She guided us through each step and her positivity was always welcoming. She was also very professional and her communication was excellent. I would recommend her again and again.

Outstanding service. We approached Sarah to find a property for us and she listened to our needs and wants and found us a forever home. Sarah is amazing to deal with and the personal touches really mean a lot. Thank you once again Sarah we're delighted with our purchase.

Best ever! From the day we viewed the property till the day we went unconditional she was with us through every step. Always so professional and went out of her way to assist us and to make it easy for us. I will always support her and the best of luck for the future. You go girl.

I would unreservedly recommend Sarah to sell your house. She is knowledgeable and gives great advice while supporting your own preferences

Sarah couldn't have been better! Selling my house was an emotional time for me (probably pretty common) but Sarah was supportive and understanding all the way through. She gave me great advice but didn't stress when I failed to follow it completely. She was absolutely realistic regarding price and marketing. She managed to complete the sale in plenty of time for me to be able to move to my preferred retirement village apartment in Auckland. I can't thank her enough for all she did.

My partner and I recently bought our first home through Sarah. Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole process of buying at an auction very seamless. Her communication and availability to us throughout the whole process was amazing, and we were so grateful for that!

Just a great experience - with all conditions conveyed clearly. Sarah has done a phenomenal job with ensuring that we were always kept up-to-date and informed about any areas of interest and risks involved with the purchase. We're also very grateful to had the conditions (and answers to any questions we may have had) communicated to us in a straightforward and transparent manner. Lastly, we hope that Sarah dials back on spoiling us with an entire box of gifts the next time we're looking to purchase a property (more seriously - we're very thankful for the items)!

A real gem. Sarah has previously sold property for our family so she is our first choice in real estate agent. Her compassion and empathy during the process of selling my late father’s property made the experience much easier. We valued her honesty and dedicated hard work on behalf of our family. We were happy with outcome. Would recommend her to anyone in the future.

Really appreciated Sarah as a real estate agent, she was really genuine and had our best interest in mind when helping us through the process, would highly recommend

Sarah has looked after me in the purchase and sale of my property in Whakatane and Matt did a great job to help me sell my kawerau property

Sarah was extremely helpful throughout the sale with my many enquiries relating to aspects of the property and the history of the property.

Excellent sales consultant. Sarah was extremely helpful and diligent throughout the process. She was able to answer all my queries regarding any aspect of the property and also knew the history of the house. She responded to my enquiries quickly. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as an agent if I was to be selling a property in the future. She also provided follow up assistance by working in with my Rental Property Manager so that he could quickly market the property. As a result, the property was Let out even before it needed to be advertised.

Great communication and support with a recent house purchase. Honest and friendly advice throughout the purchasing experience. Would highly recommend! Thank you Sarah.

Sarah was awesome. Being absentee owners we relied on her local knowledge and tradespeople to assist in preparing the property for sale. Her attention to detail was amazing, she researched every aspect of the property and confidently marketed it with an excellent result. Great communication throughout the process, right up to settlement. We were very happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Sarah as an excellent sales person who goes the extra mile.

Sarah went out of her way to keep us informed of everything that was happening and we found her very professional. She has a bright bubbly personality and was just the right person for the job. A very genuine person with a lovely personality. Very knowledgeable regarding the property and the process of the auction.

Sarah is a great agent and found to be helpful in all aspects of purchasing a property.

Sarah was amazing to deal with. She has a lovely bright bubbly personality, very suited to the job. Outstanding tick tick.

Sarah is a very diligent agent and has helped me lots. Property brokers as whole is a very close friendly team. They are awesome.

Great customer service. Friendly and professional

We were really impressed with Sarah, she put in a lot of effort and had excellent communication with us the whole way through. Would highly recommend her and would definitely work with her again

Highly recommend. I would not hesitate to work with Sarah again. She was super on to it, and had excellent communication with us the whole way through selling our house.

Sarah is such a lovely friendly person to work with. She worked so hard to sell my property.

Working with Sarah was fantastic and I couldn't have asked for a better agent. Sarah kept me informed and up to date on all aspects of viewings and interest in my property. She is friendly and easy to communicate with. Goes the extra mile for her clients, nothing is a problem, and she juggles her schedule around to be available, always with a smile and a positive attitude. She is clever and thinks outside the square with her marketing tactics eg; coffee cart at open home. Sarah is definitely someone you would want to keep as a friend, she goes above and beyond expectations of an agent. Thank you so much Sarah. X

Sarah is absolutely amazing ! She is so kind and was so patient with us. Super helpful answering all our questions and steering us (clueless first home buyers) in the right direction. We could not have done this without her and cannot recommend her enough ! Thank you so much Sarah!!!

I had great experience. It was my 1st time selling and buying a home by myself. They made it easy and took me through the process and made sure I understood everything. It was a good experience.

Sarah has been patient and helpful. She is very professional and awesome through the sales and buying of my and the vendors property.

Sarah has been very professional in her dealings with the entire selling process. She is knowledgeable about the market and her estimates and advise were realistic and honest with the current market trend. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone intending to buy or sell property in the region. I cannot thank you enough Sarah for all your patience and understanding. All the best for the future in your career.

Sarah gave excellent service as we worked through the process of choosing a property especially as we were buying from another town. We were able to view the property when we could be in Whakatane Sarah answered our questions promptly and went the extra mile getting appropriate information from a council officer. Sarah provided access for my sister at a time that worked for her schedule. She has facilitated the process of enabling us to purchase items of furniture and furnishings from the house We would recommend Sarah, without hesitation, to other people buying or selling property in Whakatane

Sarah was extremely knowledgeable about the current real estate climate and the best method in which to sell our house. She both advised me and recommended strategies that would best attract buyers. Sarah was easy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get the best possible price for their house. The cherry on top was that Sarah negotiated a higher price than we asked. Thank Sarah for making this difficult time, an easy and enjoyable experience.

Sarah Frater was professional and knowledgeable about the area that Mums house was in. She kept me updated with any potential buyers and supplied a detailed report at the end of each week.

Sarah’s non pushy, quiet, competent, getting to know her clients needs style is integrated with her highly professional ability and focus on the goal. Without hesitation we recommend her to sellers and purchasers.

Sarah's communication and support throughout the sale of our house was outstanding. From the first meet to settlement and everything in between. Sarah is very professional but in a comforting and relaxing way which helped to make our decision with choosing her as our agent. Would 110% use Sarah again.

Sarah made our home purchasing easy. Sarah provided us excellent and timely communication. Her practical approach helped us to get extra peace of mind, worked with our availability, and answered everything that we asked. In our experience, Sarah had been proactive, professional yet friendly and warm, which made our home-buying a pleasant and memorable experience right from the beginning to “sold”.

If you are considering getting advice for buying or selling your home, Sarah is absolutely the person you want to see. We are first home buyers, and Sarah was incredibly understanding of our situation and did everything she possibly could to find us a home within our price range and home requirements. At no point did I ever feel pressured or out of my comfort zone, despite us constantly not knowing what direction we were heading in! She had her work cut out for her for sure, but she persevered with us and we are incredibly grateful. Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, and understood the our desired area and what we were looking for and paired with her insane knowledge of the industry, she absolutely set us up in the best possible position to be able to buy a home. In this particular instance, we went to auction and at every single (stressful!) step Sarah assisted us. From the initial notification of upcoming homes in the area to the final signature of purchase, she was there. Should we ever sell our home or look at purchasing another, Sarah will for sure be the person that we contact. All we can say is thank you Sarah. Thank you thank you thank you. We will be forever grateful for you in helping get us into our very first home

Sarah Frater was our agent and worked with us over a long period of time helping us to find a property to buy as well as advising us on the best way to sell our existing property. She was totally professional throughout the process and as far as we have experienced before, went beyond what we would have thought was acceptable! Her communication with us was excellent keeping us informed every step of the way….a lovely friendly personality but professional at the same time and honest! By the time we went to list our property the market had changed considerably however her advice as to how to sell our property was spot on!! The tender process was straight forward and we had a SOLD sign up in a matter of just a few weeks! The best Christmas present ever!! We have already recommended Sarah to other people looking to buy or sell!! Thankyou Properly Brokers….a great success all round! Fiona & Steve Mathias

Sarah Frater has been an absolute gem in helping my wife and sister (whom live in Wellington and Australia) sell a beautiful little home inherited from their late parents. We were unable to be present to oversee renovations prior to the sale and Sarah had contractors lined up to begin work almost as soon as our tenants moved out. Bathroom renovation, general repairs, painting, water blasting, house washing and carpet replacement all managed by Sarah. We definitely recommend her and would use her services again. Ka pai, Ka kite and thank you Sarah!!

We are extremely happy to have entrusted Sarah with the sale of our family home in Whakatane. Sarah did a remarkable job in marketing our property and bringing in potential buyers. We really appreciated her knowledge and guidance throughout the process. She kept us well informed and nothing was too much trouble. Sarah went above and beyond and organised everything to prepare the house for sale including property styling, cleaning and maintenance to ensure we got the best outcome. Sarah achieved an amazing result well above our expectations. She is caring and professional and we would highly recommend her to any potential sellers.

Sarah outlined the process undertaken with a Deadline sale, she kept us informed and let us know when it turned into a multi offer situation. Sarah was proactive and told us about the issue with the hot water cylinder and organised for this to be fixed as soon as practical. It was a great experience from our perspective. BTW: Nice touch having a Barista at the first open home :)

Sarah was so easy to deal with. Communication was amazing. down to earth. Highly recommend!

I picked Sarah to sell my place. I saw her on Facebook so I took the chance with her. I could not have picked a better person, lovely lady, took me through every thing. Very good as I am on my own and 86 years of age so needed the help. You have a nice lady working for you.

We cannot thank Sarah enough for all her support and diligence throughout the process of us buying our first home. Sarah communicated clearly and honestly with us throughout the purchase process, making us aware of opportunities that were relevant to our situation. We were reassured by her integrity and professionalism, she went above and beyond what we expected from a real estate agent, and we would happily recommend to friends and family looking to purchase or sell real estate

Sarah was an awesome real estate agent to deal with being first home buyers. Willing to go above and beyond to accommodate any queries we had. She made the the whole process easier.

We would highly recommend Sarah as an Agent. She exceeded our expectations and helped us to sell our home quickly in a slowing housing market at higher than our asking price. Sarah was always available to answer our questions and has excellent communication skills. You can't get better than an agent that bakes delicious cookies during your open home and leaves leftovers for your family!

I just want to take this opportunity to thank-you regarding when we brought our property in Whakatane. I have to say I felt very nervous at the beginning, as it all seemed daunting. Right from the start your communication was outstanding, you gave us reassurance, you were always able to answer any questions we had and walk us through the process. You communicated well and followed up with clear emails which I appreciated as I could look back and go through things. Thank-you for always being available. When I would flick you a text or leave you a voice message you always got back to me within a timely manner. I know I was stressed at times, so I appreciate that you were always so kind, professional and available. I was impressed with your connection to our community and especially the knowledge you have within your field. In the future I plan to buy more properties, I will go through you as you really care about your clients, and you are genuinely passionate about your mahi. Thanks again for your support, professionalism and reassurance. I tend to be highly strung so I can be difficult to deal with, you always brought my stress levels down as you “know your stuff” at times when I wanted face to face you provided that and I will not forget how easy you made things for not only me but my whole whanau.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah since 2016 when she took over managing my rental property. She has since also sold a property for my family. Sarah’s work is exemplary- she is thorough and diligent, applying her full real estate knowledge to your property needs. As a property manager, she expertly maintained my property, including managing difficult issues with third parties with tact while ensuring my best interests were met. She kept me updated on market values and regulation amendments. Her approach to property sales is the same- she is straightforward, supplying information on all aspects of a sale, including local government planning, building, legal steps, mortgage information, time frames, renovation, removalists, and market values. She is highly ethical and leaves you in no doubt that she is working in your interest. I found her advice and valuation to be well-considered and on point. I don’t hesitate to recommend her to you.

After being on the market with a previous salesperson without seeing results, I made the decision to change agencies. Sarahs love for her job was clear from the outset. She displayed an exceptional work ethic, communicated with me well through the sale process, and displayed expert knowledge of the local market. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Sarah was able to get a deal together for me. I would highly recommend selling with Sarah for an excellent result.

After working with Sarah to buy our first home in 2019, we were convinced that she is the only realtor we will ever need. Sarahs knowledge, professionalism and terrific instincts have guided us to an excellent outcome - OUR HOME . It is truly a pleasure to work with Sarah – you can always trust that she is on top of every detail, big and small, which brings great peace of mind in any real estate transaction.

In March 2021 we were desperately trying to find a house to purchase, a friend recommended Sarah. It was almost like our paths were meant to cross, from the start to finish Sarah guided us the whole way through as it had been over 15 years since we had last purchased a house. A house had come on the market that very day, Sarah understood our needs and everything moved along seamless. We highly recommend Sarah as a Property Broker and wish her the very best in her future endeavours.

As a first-time home buyer, Sarah helped me navigate a difficult housing market. Sarah took so much stress out of my house hunt by guiding me through the process. She is a wealth of knowledge, an excellent communicator, and genuinely wants what’s best for you! She has debunked all the false stereotypes about real-estate agents. Although buying my first home was an emotional roller coaster, Sarah smoothed the bumps and made me feel so much more at ease. Would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

We had the pleasure of dealing with Sarah when we purchased our property in Whakatane. Being new to the area at the time, we relied on her guidance and knowledge of the people and area. We found her friendly and helpful from the outset and she always made sure to follow up on all of our weird and wonderful questions about the property even after the sale had gone through. Her professionalism, knowledge and communication made what can be a stressful process a lot easier and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home

Sarah is professional, communicative and knowledgeable, everything you want in a real estate agent.

Sarah Frater has provided rental property management and real estate sales services to us for over five years. In property management, Sarah’s expertise surpassed expectation. Her approach was professional, client focused, and responsive; underpinned by excellent communication and the ability to deliver outcomes that involved difficult conversations, diplomacy, and negotiation. Sarah later continued to deliver on our behalf as a high performing real estate salesperson. We were kept fully engaged in the sales process. Her communication skills, work ethic and dedication to achieving the best result for her client was born out with our property achieving multiple offers and a sale that far exceeded our asking price.

We were very fortunate to purchase our first home through Sarah, as she made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. We never once felt rushed, pressured or unsure about any one part of the process, thanks to Sarah guiding us through and allowing us the time to make decisions. Sarah really stood out to us as the most welcoming, knowledgeable and genuine real estate agent that we encountered on our search. We honestly couldn’t recommend Sarah highly enough and will most definitely look to re-sell and buy with Sarah in the future.

Thanks for your help and guidance through the purchase process. We were stressed so having your help made us feel more confident. Appreciate everything you did to help us get across the line.

We had the privilege of having Sarah Frater as the agent who sold us a property in Whakatane in 2020. Circumstances did not allow us to view the house personally and we relied on Sarah’s information, advice, and photo’s to decide. She conducted herself most professionally throughout the sale and purchase process and importantly provided excellent support after the sale as we prepared to rent the property. Sarah was outstanding in all respects of our dealings with her – reliable, friendly, trustworthy, and excellent and timely communication. We would highly recommend Sarah to any prospective vendor or buyer.

We had the pleasure of working with Sarah when looking to buy our first home. While we eventually found our dream home with another agency, we will for sure be using Sarah to sell when the time comes. We were blown away by the care and attention she gave us. We felt heard and she made sure to follow up with us regularly to see how we were getting on in our search. 10/10 recommend making contact with Sarah when buying or selling.

A Sense of Presence and sincerity. There are real estate agents and real estate agents. Sarah was different, and a cut above, she gave you space to both breathe, observe, and absorb that sense of home, rather than the house. Her sense of care, vibrancy, and professionalism were always at the forefront. Where else would you go house scouting to be welcomed by the aroma of croissants, exquisitely laid out by Sarah. What a super touch. We went to 3 or 4 properties showcased by Sarah before finally settling on the one that ticked almost every box. Our expectations were high, and she delivered on the specs we laid out for her. Within 2 weeks, a deal was nailed, and everything is now history, I am extremely grateful to Sarah.

Excellent. Professional and friendly. Understands the Shaw Road subdivision really well. We have felt very supported by Sarah at every step of the process. She put us at ease from the beginning. We immediately felt that she understood our needs and preferences. She was friendly and proactive. She has guided us through this process without being pushy. We are grateful for her support.

Sarah Frater is the sales agent you must have if the following are important to you as a vendor. Knowledge of the market, Tireless energy and enthusiam, Totally transparent. Skilled negotiator. Finally Sarah with her network of tradies was able to make the task of preparing my house for the market a breeze. She was referred to me and I would refer her to everyone.

Can't speak highly enough of Sarah. Fantastic with everything she does. A truly lovely lady. Thank U. She is very knowledgeable, communicates well and very professional. Thank you, Sarah, very much appreciated.

An absolute professional. Sarah from start to finish exemplified the absolute best in how a Real Estate salesperson should work. Her communication, product knowledge, marketing expertise, and energy was simply outstanding, this providing for our confidence in achieving a very good result with an unconditional sale under the hammer at our auction. We could not be more pleased and have no hesitation in recommending her to both sellers and buyers for their real estate needs.

Sarah is keen, knowledgeable, reliable, professional. I was an absentee vendor. Sarah just got on with the job, kept me informed. Always happy, courteous. a pleasure to do business with. Thank you Sarah
