Thank you so much for getting such positive results so fast. You are simply amazing. Please convey our appreciation and thanks to your team.

Ashley recently advertised and screened applicants for my flat. She was exceptional throughout the process, and as it was my first time renting a property, I'm so grateful for her guidance and professional manner. Ashley made the whole exercise seamless from start to finish. She is to be congratulated.
— Christine Webby
I just want to thank you and the team for the fantastic service managing our rental. Every month, money was paid on time and everything ran so smoothly. When we acquire our next rental, you will most definitely be managing it.
— Kevin Pead
Ashley has been incredible. Its our first time renting our home, and she has been there every step of the way, going above and beyond to help advise us and ensure every box is ticked. We couldn't be happier with the care we have received as customers. Thank you!

This home rental on Fawcett Rd, Laingholm is a lovely, cosy and well looked after home. You could see all the hard work that had gone into the newly completed renovations. Ashley (who is the Ray White Young property manager of this rental home) is very kind, warm and welcoming. She was more than helpful to answer any of our questions we had about the property. If there was a question she couldn't answer, she was willing to find out from the property owner as soon as possible for us. We experienced Ashley to be very kind, warm, professional and positive!
— Kristine Walsh
As first home buyers, going through all the bureaucracy and dealing with everyone involved can be extremely daunting. Ray White made the process so much easier. We were lucky to be assigned Ashley Smythe, who was excellent from start to finish. She consistently goes above and beyond what's required, and has continued to be incredibly helpful even now as we navigate dealing with renters. We couldn't be more grateful, and couldn't recommend Ashley more highly.

When we first started looking for a rental property we connected with Ashley at Ray White, especially knowing we wanted to do things right! This was one of the best things we did - she has great knowledge about all things to do with renting a property and it gave us comfort that the rental property we were buying was a great option for just that. She was able to find us great tenants pretty quickly and has been super responsive and quick at getting things done. Don't know what we'd do without her!
— Laura Nagel
What a stroke of luck to get Ashley Smythe as our rental manager. We have had lots of rental managers over the years and she is hands down the best and it is a privilege working with her. Ashley’s communication skills are excellent. She is incredibly knowledgeable and all over the NZ tenancy law. She made the renting of our house easy and stress free. I would not hesitate to recommend her and the team at Onehunga Ray White Youngs Rentals for all your property management needs.
— Anita Jones
Ashley let our property for us and was great to deal with. She saw the letting process until the end from explaining the process to us from the start until lodging the bond at the very end. Would higly recommend Ashley & the team when choosing to let you property.
