Raine & Horne Burnside

My core values are trust, integrity, and determination, and being able to offer a full service for a fair fee is very satisfying. Raine & Horne are an established company that has structured itself to reduce the cost to our clients but does not compromise the service it offers. One way of doing this is by having a centralised structure. Raine & Horne is an innovative and fun place to work. We never sit back on our laurels but are always looking for new and efficient ways to improve the service we offer our clients. One of the ways we do this is by constantly looking at ways to enhance the marketing landscape. Our aim is to bring Raine & Horne properties to the attention of all types of house hunters, from the passive to the active. By doing this we can help our clients find their next home and our homeowners find the best buyer, not just the first buyer. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, but I underpin that with my professional knowledge to ensure that I can guide them through the Raine & Horne process with the aim of achieving excellent results and a positive, stress-free experience for all parties. If you would like to catch up and have a talk about your property, please give me a call or book a no-obligation appraisal.

After 14 years as a frontline police officer, I made the move into real estate in 2020, bringing with me a strong foundation in trust, negotiation, and people skills. Since then, I have helped sell over 60 properties across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region, guiding buyers and sellers through what is often one of the biggest decisions of their lives. I am especially passionate about helping first home buyers take that important first step, as well as supporting vendors to achieve results that often exceed expectations. Having lived in Canterbury my entire life, and having bought my first property in 2003, I understand the uncertainty that can come with both buying and selling. That firsthand experience drives my belief in clear advice, honest communication, and a sales process that feels supportive rather than overwhelming. I am frequently trusted with properties that have proven challenging to sell. These campaigns sometimes require patience, creativity, and persistence, qualities I am known for. I focus on getting the fundamentals right, positioning property correctly, and staying committed until the right result is achieved, without charging the traditional hefty fees. My career has spanned a wide range of industries, including hospitality, the freezing works, and policing. This background allows me to relate easily to people from all walks of life. I am competitive by nature, having represented Canterbury in softball, and I do not shy away from hard work. My policing background sharpened my ability to negotiate under pressure, engage openly, and quickly understand what truly motivates people. Clients often tell me I am not the stereotypical real estate agent. My approach is friendly, straightforward, and focused on long term relationships rather than quick wins. I enjoy the grind, take pride in my work, and am committed to building a reputation based on results and trust. Outside of real estate, you will usually find me walking our dog at the local park or enjoying time with family and friends at cafes and restaurants around the city. I am a genuine foodie at heart and have planned much of my recent travel around great food experiences. If property is not your first topic of choice, I am always happy to talk food and travel over a coffee. I look forward to meeting with you and showing how experience, honesty, and hard work can turn conversations into successful sales stories.
