Rupert Kemeys

Rupert is a Lower Hutt local who has sold real estate here since 2007, when he started at 18. In 2012 he and his brother Elliot opened Ray White Kemeys Brothers, and after eight years running it as Managing Director he went back to what he enjoys most: selling homes.

Lower Hutt and the wider Hutt Valley. His recent sales include Belmont, Eastbourne, Kelson, Petone, Waterloo and Epuni, and he sells across Wellington when clients ask.

Houses, townhouses and units across every price bracket: first homes, family homes, investment properties and the occasional mortgagee sale.

Nineteen years in one market, an office he helped build from a handful of people to over 30 salespeople, and a team around him on every campaign. He is still the one at your kitchen table and the one on the phone to buyers.

Ray White named him an Elite Performer for 2025/2026 and a Premier Performer for 2024/2025, and Ray White Kemeys Brothers won Chairman's Elite Business Leader in 2020/21, 2023/24 and 2024/25 under his leadership. His RateMyAgent reviews and awards are below.

It starts with a free, no-obligation appraisal at your place. Rupert walks you through what it is worth, how he would market it, which method of sale suits it, and what the costs are, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

On evidence: recent sales in your street and suburb, what is on the market against you, and what buyers are telling him right now. He will give you his honest view, not the number that wins the listing.

Professional photography and video, Trade Me, realestate.co.nz and OneRoof, Ray White's buyer database, social media and signage, with a plan sized to your property. You see every enquiry and every piece of feedback.

It depends on the home and the market that month. Rupert sells by deadline sale, negotiation, auction and fixed price, and will recommend the one that gets the most buyers competing for yours.

Rupert works alongside Scoota Roche and India Wano, with the Ray White Kemeys Brothers admin team in Petone behind them. Someone is always available, and Rupert runs the negotiation himself.

Yes. Tell him what you are after and he will keep you posted on his listings, including homes coming to market before they go live, and introduce you to colleagues' listings that fit.

They are further down this page and on his Ray White profile, which updates the moment a listing goes live.

Beaches at Petone and Eastbourne, bush walks in the hills, good schools, and the train or motorway into Wellington in about 20 minutes, at prices that still make sense for families and first-home buyers.

Ask Rupert for the honest version. He will show you what has sold in your suburb in the last few months, how long it took, and what buyers are doing this week, rather than a national headline.

When you are ready and the home is presented well. Well-prepared homes sell in every season; Rupert will help you time the campaign around your plans, school terms and what else is coming to market.

Book a free appraisal and Rupert will tell you, in person, with the sales evidence to back it up. No obligation and no pressure.

Straight answers, a call after every open home, and a clear plan from the first meeting to settlement day. You will always know where your campaign stands.

Calmly, and with more than one buyer wherever possible. Nineteen years of negotiating in this market means he knows when to hold and when to close.

On RateMyAgent, where every review is tied to a real sale, and in the testimonials below.

Yes. Many of his clients have bought and sold with him more than once, and send their friends and family his way. He is happy to give you a market update any time, even years later.
