Sellers, buyers and investors on what it’s like to work with Daemon van Riele, in their own words.
When my father had to go into a care home it was up to me to clear and sell his house. I had no idea where to start. My husband met Daemon out on the street and from there we started our journey of selling the house. We allowed ourselves to be fully guided by Daemon as it was clear from the start that he is at the top of his field. Daemon met with us regularly, set up a WhatsApp group where he posted updates on the sale such as number of viewers and feedback, and was always available for our million questions. The result we got from the sale was 100% above expectation, so we are very happy customers.
Daemon was a key part in achieving the successful sale of our home. He took the lead in negotiations and was calm, clear and focused throughout, even during some very challenging moments. He worked tirelessly to manage a particularly difficult potential buyer, putting in a huge amount of effort to keep things moving and maintain communication on all sides. Your hard work, persistence and support helped us get a great result in the end.
Daemon managed the sale of my Dad's property in Weymouth. It was an extremely stressful time for our family as Dad's health deteriorated quite suddenly and we needed sound advice and clear guidance. Daemon was so kind, courteous and diligent. Not only did he negotiate our sale within 2 days of going to market, he secured a price far in excess of what we had been expecting, securing Dad's ongoing care.
We could not have asked for a better real estate agent to sell our South Auckland property. Daemon was persistent in getting the listing, diligent in organising open homes and viewings while keeping our tenant happy, great at communicating with prospective buyers resulting in a large number of bidder registrations, and then achieved an amazing result in trying times for the market.
We were first-time sellers and Daemon was amazing to work with. His professionalism and understanding of the market is a great quality of his. His weekly check-ins kept us in the loop and his positive attitude made selling our first home a great experience.
I wanted someone to handle the sale of an investment property, to give advice on timing the sale and doing it in a way that didn't upset tenants. Daemon provided clear and precise advice on how to manage this, did so expertly and without any fuss. We achieved a good sale and I am very pleased with the outcome.
Daemon was an amazing agent through what was a difficult sale. He went above and beyond to make the process as stress-free as it could be. He was completely professional but also cared about us as clients, and achieved the result we were looking for.
He is very aware of current market trends and communicates this in a relaxed, non-pushy manner. He was in regular contact through face-to-face meetings and WhatsApp, and responds quickly to any queries. Although he is happy advising, he listens to what the vendor wants. Totally professional, even down to his sock choice!
Being an immigrant can sometimes scare you off putting your foot in the property market, but we are heartily thankful to Daemon for making the process transparent, well explained and seamless. He was extremely accommodating with viewings at short notice and went above and beyond to help us get exactly what we needed.
Daemon contacted me four years ago about our rental property. I told him we weren't ready, but he kept in touch every year just to see where we were at. In 2025 he got the job done for us. We are so happy with the result and his patience, persistence and expertise.
Daemon took me through every single step to make sure I fully understood the details, and provided in-depth analysis of my options so I could make an informed decision. He was down to earth, reliable, respectful and conscientious towards both vendor and purchasers. His attention to detail was second to none.
Thank you so much Daemon for guiding us through our first sale. You made the whole experience stress-free with your professional service, ensuring we were always informed to make some important decisions. A real genuine guy, always willing to help!

Daemon's experience and knowledge made selling my home a seamless experience. Communication was constant, feedback was honest and he was always available by email, phone or in person. Just awesome to deal with.
Daemon was always very professional and helpful with people who weren't familiar with selling a property. He always kept his sense of humour, even when dealing with uncooperative tenants. If we sell again we will definitely contact Daemon.
We had the privilege of having Daemon look after the sale of our family property and he was amazing and very patient with all parties involved. With my high-pressure job, Daemon was able to relieve the pressure and take on full responsibility. Trustworthy, kind and humble.
