RateMyAgent – New Zealand’s leading review and ratings platform for real estate agents and agencies – has announced Ray White Bream Bay & Waipu as the winner of the 2026 Agency of the Year Award.
The RateMyAgent Awards recognises Australia and New Zealand’s top real estate agents, property managers and mortgage brokers and celebrates their dedication to the highest standards of customer service.
These awards are unique within the industry because they are driven by customer feedback. To ensure accuracy and fairness, the award calculation process undergoes an annual independent audit—with this year’s review conducted by the global accounting firm, RSM.
Award winners and nominees are the most highly recommended performers by local New Zealand vendors. They are selected based on customer satisfaction ratings across the country and overall sales performance.
“The RateMyAgent Awards acknowledge real estate agents and agencies who go above and beyond for their vendors,” said RateMyAgent CEO Jim Crisera.
“Performance-based reviews are essential in enabling agents to stand out, and they’re also the main criteria toward receiving a RateMyAgent Award. Collectively, our nominees and winners are some of the most trusted agents, property managers and brokers in the industry. Winners or not, that’s something to be incredibly proud of.”
“A huge congratulations to all the 2026 winners and nominees. Your dedication to excellence is what drives this industry forward, and we can’t wait for another year of raising the bar for real estate professionals nationwide,” said Crisera.
