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!

Helpful, Knowledgeable and Always Going the Extra Mile

We had a good experience working with James Ellis. From the beginning, he really listened to what we were looking for and took the time to understand our requirements, making the whole process easier and much more efficient. He was incredibly helpful, always providing valuable additional information on the properties we were interested in which gave us greater confidence in making informed decisions. If there was something he didn't know, he was always happy to investigate further, contacting the vendor's agent promptly and keeping us updated. He was friendly, approachable, and professional at all times, and was very accommodating in working around our schedule for viewings and discussions. We never felt pressured, and always appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure we had all the information we needed. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuine real estate agent.

I felt comfortable with him and Shar from the beginning

I felt listened to, supported and comfortable with both Ash & Shar. My son had used their expertise earlier and couldn't speak more highly of them. I was kept well informed on what was happening leading up to my auction. I never felt they mislead me at any time and I think they were very realistic on price. They are still in touch which is lovely.. From the bottom of my heart I thank them.

Incredible!

Anthony was incredible to work with. He came to appraise our property and, within just 10 days, had sold it off market. He made the entire process seamless from start to finish and even recommended an excellent lawyer, which made everything even easier. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will absolutely use Anthony again in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!

Daniel is knowledgeable, a great communicator, empathetic, honest, inspires confidence, listens.

Daniel is an excellent communicator and guided us through the marketing and selling process ensuring that we understood all the stages and what our responsiblities were. He was always available to answer questions both in person and online. He kept us fully informed of all developments and when unexpected problems arose explained our options and acted promptly to organise solutions in consultation with us. At all times he was honest with us about market conditions and how the value of our property might be affected by these factors. We appreciated the fact that he understood our circumstances and always gave us time to make decisions without pressuring us to make rushed choices. We had absolute confidence in his honesty and ethical professional values.
