Alison Carter has been consistently earning industry accolades since beginning her award-winning real estate career in 1995 and has been the top salesperson in the Ferrymead office from that time.
While working across the wider Christchurch area, Alison’s passion for the coastal suburbs means it’s only natural that she bases herself in the award winning Ferrymead office at the foot of the hill, where her intimate knowledge of the hills and sought-after seaside suburbs allows her to expertly predict (and adapt to) the market’s constant ebbs and flows.
Alison’s proactive, honest, optimistic approach is validated by the constant stream of repeat and referral business she enjoys from a devoted client base, and her track record of success is underpinned by her innovative approach to marketing and an appetite for hard work.
By employing a skilled back-office team to look after her IT and office administration, Alison is free to concentrate on the needs of her clients and this “hand on” approach enables her to guide them smoothly through the process, from start to finish.
Since beginning her real estate career in 2019, Jobi has built a reputation for delivering exceptional results with genuine care, strong work ethic, and unwavering dedication to her clients. She brings the same level of strategy and determination to every campaign. Working alongside both sellers and buyers, she offers a well rounded perspective that strengthens negotiations and creates opportunities where others may not see them. Known for making magic happen, especially under high pressure situations she consistently turns challenges into successful outcomes. At the heart of her business is a genuine commitment to her clients. With clear communication, strong follow-through, and a consistent 10 out of 10 standard of service, she builds lasting relationships that extend well beyond a single sale. The majority of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals. Driven, genuine, deeply committed, and a strong negotiator, Jobi is known for going the extra mile and delivering when it matters most.
A colourful journey.
With a rich and varied professional career, I enjoy the ability to establish rapport with a wide range of people. I’ve learned that collaboration is the way to consistently reach my personal goal of exceptional service.
As a published Author, Artist and enthusiastic foodie (trained chef), I believe my creativity underpins this. With a National Diploma in Real Estate, my knowledge of the property market is comprehensive and current. It’s an exciting and ever-evolving industry that I feel passionate about. I believe in living life to the fullest!
A proud Cantabrian, I am especially motivated by the lifestyle on offer in our seaside and hill suburbs. Life is an adventure.
If you’re seeking a salesperson with unbeatable negotiation and personal skills, paired with a long and successful track record, we should talk. No strings attached. Just a SOLD sign.

Exceptional Support for a First‑Home Journey
We had an outstanding experience working with Jobi Smith. As a first‑home buyer, the process felt overwhelming at times, but her professionalism, patience, and genuine commitment made all the difference. She guided us with such care, always communicating clearly, promptly, and with a reassuring tone that helped us feel confident every step of the way. We're deeply grateful for her honesty and attention to detail, every recommendation she shared was thoughtful, well‑explained, and truly in our best interest. She made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth, supported, and surprisingly easy. We wholeheartedly recommend Jobi Smith to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy real estate agent. Her exceptional service helped turn our first‑home dream into reality, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Deb was so upfront, clear and kind with us. She took us seriously and worked sensitively for us.
Deb was great at keeping in touch, connecting and also for giving all parties the space they needed to consider these big life events. She is so easy and a pleasure to communicate with, her fun and straightforward & straight up approach we really appreciated. She gave us wonderful advice and was sensitive and respectful around the nuances both parties needed for this sale. She was so patient with us while we worked it all out, and always willing to help. Thanks Deb. It was really amazing working through this all with you! We deeply appreciate what you have made possible for us!!!

Dedicated, supportive and highly recommended.
Josh acted on our behalf as a buyer’s agent, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. Josh took the time to listen to what we were looking for and worked hard to find properties that matched our needs. His knowledge of the market and the buying process was invaluable, and he guided us through every step with patience and professionalism. Josh consistently went above and beyond, arranging viewings, gathering information, answering our questions, and advocating for us throughout the journey. We always felt supported and informed. Thank you, Josh, for your time, dedication, and genuine care. We are so grateful for your help in finding our first home and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
