Delivered a quality service

From the moment Nicky took over, she was professional, dedicated, and proactive. She approached the marketing and sale of our property thoroughly, keeping us informed every step of the way and ensuring no opportunity was overlooked. Her communication was excellent, and she always conducted herself with integrity, positivity, and genuine commitment. Nicky worked tirelessly to showcase our property to the right buyers and maintained a high level of enthusiasm throughout the campaign. Thanks to her hard work, expertise, and perseverance, our property sold in just over four months. We are extremely grateful for Nicky’s efforts and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and hardworking real estate agent. Thank you, Nicky, for achieving such a positive outcome for us.

Excellent experience buying in Southshore with Rod Cross

We had a very positive experience working with Rod when purchasing our property in Southshore. Rod was professional, prompt, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. He kept us well informed, responded quickly to our questions, and made the purchase feel smooth and well managed. We appreciated his clear communication, attention to detail, and approachable manner. We would happily recommend Rod to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

Complete care and confidence

Complete care and confidence

Chris and Emma worked as a team to sell my townhouse. They made me feel completely taken care of through the whole process, while being consistently positive and encouraging. I honestly felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything because they were so good at competently managing each step and communicating these to me. I knew they were generously looking after potential buyers at the other end as well. I was free to focus on preparing my home for open homes, and searching for my next property, instead of being bogged down in the details of selling. The feeling of being so well taken care of means a-lot to me, as a solo parent. Due to Chris and Emma’s exceptional work as well as the high end presentation that Sotheby’s offers, they achieved an excellent sale result at our auction. I experienced a smooth, enjoyable process with a great result and so highly recommend them both.

Worked hard for our sale

We cannot recommend Rod and Catherine highly enough. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result for us. What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile throughout the entire process. They kept us informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, and dedication gave us complete confidence that our sale was in the right hands. I have to say selling can be a stressful experience, but Rod and Catherine made the process smooth and straight forward. Their hard work, expertise, and commitment ultimately helped us achieve a fantastic outcome. If you're looking for real estate agents who truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond to get the job done, we would highly recommend Rod and Catherine.

The most outstanding agent in Canterbury

The most outstanding agent in Canterbury

Sarouen was simply a lifesaver. She inherited our house from another agency, and selling it was never going to be easy. Sarouen not only managed the sale of the house but the house itself - she would often do tasks that were not really expected of her but if it presented the house better, nothing was too difficult. She is an excellent communicator and is very honest but always positive. She is a hard negotiator and genuinely wants what is best for her clients. She understood the mental load I was under with selling the house and took it upon herself to totally manage the property for me so that I didn't have to do a single thing. Most of all, she just cared so much for our circumstances and wanted nothing more than to help us move onto the next chapter. I simply could not have coped without her and if you have her as your agent, you can count yourself very lucky. She will be in your corner. This is by far the best experience I have ever had with an agent and if I were to buy or sell again, Sarouen is who I would go to!

Rods Calm, consistent and reassuring presence

Rods Calm, consistent and reassuring presence

Rod was always transparent about any questions we had regarding our new purchase and would (most of the time) follow up with the information we requested. He was always a calm presence, assuredly answering questions regarding our house purchase, providing knowledge where he could. He knew when to leave us to view and knew when to step in with a quiet honest confidence. We found we could trust Rod and of course that is key to selling. We would recommend him to our friends in the future.

A pleasant property purchase experience

A pleasant property purchase experience

At our initial contact with Emma when we intimated we were looking to purchase a property in the Merivale/Fendalton area of Christchurch, we were asked our budget, and then recommended to look at the property we ultimately bought. Emma was always prompt for meetings, subsequent viewings were easy to arrange, her knowledge of the property excellent, and gave good information on the neighbours and neighbourhood (important). Emma and Sotheby’s were pleasant to work with at the auction and subsequent negotiations. We would have no hesitation in recommending Emma and Sotheby’s to anyone considering buying or selling.
