Lucy was an absolute treasure. She was totally professional, but also helpful, kind and compassionate as she skilfully guided me through the process of marketing and selling the property.

Wow! Where do I start with Allan?

Wow! Where do I start with Allan?

During our first weekend of viewing homes, we visited seven or eight properties. Of all the listing agents we met, Allan was the only one who followed up to see how he could help us purchase a home. For eight weeks, we saw him every weekend at open homes and stayed in constant communication during the week. When auction day arrived, Allan was incredibly supportive and gave us all the information we needed. He was open, honest, and supportive throughout our entire journey. If you need help buying or selling a home, Allan ticks all the boxes. We couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Goes the extra mile

Goes the extra mile

Lee truly goes the extra mile. She was the agent selling the home I ultimately purchased, and throughout the entire process she was professional, genuine, and incredibly supportive. Had I not been successful at auction, I already knew I would have asked Lee to help me find another home. She took the time to understand my situation, reassured me when the process felt overwhelming, and checked in regularly without ever being pushy. The vendors were exceptionally lucky to have Lee representing them. Her warmth, honesty, and trustworthiness gave me real confidence, and she was a big part of why I took such a serious interest in the property. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Professional, Honest and Truly Client-Focused

Professional, Honest and Truly Client-Focused

If you're looking for a real estate agent who genuinely puts her clients first, I can't recommend Philippa Benton highly enough. Over the past year, we've been searching for the right apartment in Christchurch. With two children attending boarding school there, it was important for us to find a place that was close to their schools and suited our family's needs, as we're in Christchurch regularly. From the very beginning, Philippa was outstanding. She was always incredibly responsive and went out of her way to accommodate us, often at very short notice. Living out of town meant we couldn't always plan ahead, but that was never an issue for Philippa. She happily rearranged her schedule, even giving up Sunday afternoons with her own family so we could view properties while we were in Christchurch. What really impressed us was her professionalism and honesty throughout the negotiation process. When the vendor came back with a counter-offer, Philippa took the time to explain our options and helped us develop a strategy that ultimately saved us money while still bringing both parties together on a successful outcome. At every stage, we felt she was committed to achieving a fair result for everyone involved while making sure we were well informed and confident in our decisions. Philippa made what can often be a stressful process enjoyable and straightforward. Her communication, professionalism and genuine care for her clients were exceptional from start to finish. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone buying or selling property. Thank you for everything you did for our family.

Start to finish a job well done !

Cristina hit the ground running with my property. She lead me through each stage in preparation and post sale and kept me updated throughout the open home weeks and beyond. Being an out of town vendor Cristina was my person on the ground and kept everything moving along with a great result. Cristina’s clear approach, backed up with excellent communication and warming personality makes her a dream to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her on other projects in the future.

Wonderful warm and authentic

Christina was such a wonderful agent, kind thoughtful helpful as well as warm and authentic. Accessible, always checked in and returned calls which is often sadly a rarity. Even though I was the buyer she made me feel like she was on everyone’s side doing her best for her client and me. Just great. Thanks Christina!

Like a magnet that draws people to buy a house 😃 aww

Like a magnet that draws people to buy a house 😃 aww

First home buyer here. Prompt communication during the negotiation process, demonstrated professionalism throughout the home buying journey. Advised us to narrow down our options when choosing a house, (as it is a bit overwhelming in choosing the right house), hence, we decided to deal with one house at a time. And finally made the decision to buy the house. He was not pushy. Would definitely recommend!
