Her experience in sales and marketing in the construction industry has given her a solid understanding of the value of research and the minefields of property legislation that are ever more complex and important, so she can deliver top quality results to her clients. Passion, loyalty to her clients and doing ‘the right thing’ are a few of the attributes that Liz embodies. She knows only too well that success is the by-product of hard work, and those that have met her will know how energised she is. Choosing to work with Liz is a smart move – she has the commitment to achieve, the understanding to deliver great results and the desire to listen to her clients. She understands that behind every property transaction is a very important set of decisions which must be respected and supported.

A breath of fresh air from a different perspective.

A breath of fresh air from a different perspective.

Working with Sarah Sampson has been amazing, we started looking at houses two and half months ago with Sarah so she was able to get a feel for what we were after. The key points were Big, Lots of space, a small renovation to make it our own and Location. Walking into a property and being introduced made us feel like royalty in a weird way, it took away the stress of knowing we would be contacted in a day or so, asking us directly about the property. We were able to give Sarah our feedback straight away or go away and think about key factors message her and then she was able to summarize for us. We are so very thankful to have had Sarah's help being able to land such a beautiful property, given the fact auction day was brought forward and neither my partner or I could be there in person. Sarah was amazing and went to the auction room on our behalf whilst having my Partner on the phone incase things got interesting as our representative.

As part of a dual listing this was a tricky assignment to seek 1 or both houses. Cindy-Lee found the right buyer who purchased both properties at a fair price. She is an excellent communicator who provided us with regular updates on the progress of our marketing. I would highly recommend Cindy-Lee and the team At Harcourts Holmwood Merivale

Cindy-Lee delivered on every aspect of the marketing and sale of our property. From the beginning her appraisal, communication and negotiations were spot on. We have bought and sold many houses over the last 25 years and I can honestly say that working with Cindy-Lee as our agent has been the best experience by far!

Fantastic help in our search!

Logan was fantastic help during our search for a property when we moved down to Christchurch. He took the time to understand our needs and consistently found houses that were a good fit. Always responsive and supportive, he made the process seamless - it was a pleasure to work with him.

It was lovely working with Karihana. She is warm and friendly, and was very approachable whenever we had any questions. She kept in touch often to see how we were tracking, and made sure we felt supported throughout the process, which was so helpful as first home buyers navigating pre-auction mahi. Her communication is brilliant - always clear, proactive, and open for a quick chat when we needed to clarify anything. She gave us the guidance and reassurance when needed to get everything sorted to go unconditional before the auction feeling very prepared. Highly recommend her!
