I can’t recommend James highly enough. Buying my first home was a huge and scary experience, especially being based in Auckland while searching in Christchurch. James went above and beyond to make the process easy and manageable. While I was in Auckland, he personally viewed properties for me and video called me via WhatsApp so I could see the houses in real time. This gave me confidence to narrow down options without travelling for every viewing. When I travelled to Christchurch for two days, James had around 14 suitable properties lined up. He organised everything so well that my short trip was extremely productive and economical, ultimately leading me to the home I chose to make an offer on, which was accepted! James was incredibly supportive throughout the process, gave great advice, explained things clearly and made what could have been an overwhelming transaction much easier to understand. As a first-home buyer, that reassurance was invaluable. The only thing I would have appreciated was more encouragement to consider negotiating the purchase price. In the excitement of finding a home and having my offer accepted, I overlooked this and paid the full asking price. Looking back, I wish James had prompted me to consider whether there was room to negotiate. That said, this was a very small part of an otherwise exceptional experience. Even after settlement, James went the extra mile by doing a walk-through to ensure everything was in order and working as it should. This showed how committed he was to looking after me, not just getting the sale across the line. James was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, genuinely supportive and incredibly generous with his time. He made a daunting process much less stressful, and I’m extremely grateful for everything he did. I would absolutely recommend James to anyone looking to buy.

Peter helped us sell our first home. He was professional, knowledgeable and very responsive. He made sure we felt comfortable with the auction process and kept us in the loop.

We spoke to Will on a recommendation from a close friend. After months of house hunting and 50+ open homes we were sick of doing it ourselves. Will made all the difference to our search. He always had time for us, and an answer to all our questions. We provided a challenge as opinionated buyers, who knew what we wanted. Will never faltered with this, providing reccomedations that matched exactly what we wanted. When we decided on a property to pursue, Will worked fast, securing us a great deal. In the end we closed on the best property we have seen through our journey. In the end Will was the difference between a process that almost had us giving up for a year, and us securing our dream house. We would not hesitate to give our highest recommendation of Will to anyone buying or selling.

Lee has been exceptional to work with. She took the time to truly understand what was important to us in our buying decision and consistently kept us ahead of the market — often arranging viewings before homes were officially listed. Her communication was always clear, timely, and proactive, and her guidance helped us feel confident at every step. The transition from one city to another wasn’t simple, and Lee showed genuine care and a real interest in making that transition as easy as possible for us. She went above and beyond — helping us secure a rental property while we continued our search and then going as far as coordinating part‑time job opportunities for our daughter. Her support made a stressful period feel manageable. When we missed out on the first property we had fallen in love with, Lee gave us a piece of advice that stayed with us: “If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” She was right. Although that loss felt tough at the time, something even more special was waiting around the corner — and that home really was meant to be. Throughout the negotiation stages, Lee was right there with us, providing expert guidance and clear direction. Her experience and calm confidence helped us navigate each step and make decisions we felt good about. As newcomers to Christchurch, Lee made us feel genuinely welcome. She suggested great dog‑friendly walks, shared local insights, and as a foodie herself, introduced us to some fantastic places to eat around the city. Her professionalism, warmth, and willingness to help in every way truly set her apart.
