Alan was extremely helpful and got the job done under tight time constraints to get us in to the next property. His service was second to none. He definitely proved to us he could get a great outcome. We not only sold our house quickly but we got extremely good money for it and his knowledge and expertise was very beneficial when it came to purchasing through an auction from another Harcourts agent. The service we received from Alan was fast and efficient. The Harcourts team work well together to sell your property.

Alan was professional at all times during the sale, even when things didn't go exactly to plan. He and the Holmwood team came to the party with no fuss and ensured there was as little disruption to me as possible. I have witnessed how the Harcourts network works, and believe it is the best system in Christchurch for selling property.

From start to finish the campaign and house selling process was flawless. The campaign did what it said it would do. We were very well supported throughout the whole experience. Alan went above and beyond the line of duty. He kept us informed every step of the way and definitely made the whole experience much less stressful than it might have been

Following the successful Sale of our property at 125A Shortland Street, I wish to acknowledge Alan's dedication and Work ethic, and convey our satisfaction at both the final outcome, and also the way Alan navigated us through the period between accepting an offer, and the sale confirming. I realise that my initial reaction to the three offers presented on the deadline night may not have been quite what both Alan and yourself were expecting, and for this I apologise. Upon reflection, and having seen some other post lock down sales in our area, both Nicky and I feel the achieved result is exceptional given the implications of covid 19, and the general attributes of our surrounding area. We put this down to the quality of the relationships Alan developed with potential buyers, and also his extensive research and understanding of all aspects relating to his listing (eqc, neighboring properties etc), and also his openness to listen to potential buyers needs, and seek to discuss with us as vendors what we could do to give our property greater appeal. Of Particular awe to me is the number of private viewings Alan was able to book up in the two week deadline, given the changes post lock down. Again this is attributed to his flexibility, work ethic, and general customer relationship focus. At all times we felt well notified of viewings, and always well informed of how viewings went, and what the attendees thought of our property. In general we found Alan communicated well, was always on time, and always brought an approachable nature and great sense of humor with him. Alan is a credit to your business, and we would proudly endorse both him, and your agency should anyone ask for a recommendation in the near future.

Alan Skehill was a pleasure to deal with. He was extremely prompt in returning queries, kept us totally up to date with proceedings, had a great professional manner and very good sense of humour. He made the whole process for us easy. We would definitely recommend Alan.

Hi Alan I am writing to thank you for your assistance in the sale of our Pegasus land, Lot 667. We were recommended by someone who resides in New Zealand and we did not know you. However, through your personal professionalism, we have come to know and trusted you for our sale. Thank you for your efforts and when the first offer failed because of new conditions the buyer wanted, you immediately went on to find new clients. We received another offer within a short period of time and was able to complete the sale this time. More importantly, it was close to the reserved price we had in mind. Thank you once again Best Regards Michael Mak Singapore

Having worked in real estate for many years as a salesperson and a company owner, I was hesitant to use another agency and licensee to sell my investment property but, having been impressed with Alan when I first met him at an open home, I decided to give it a go. I couldn’t have been more delighted with the result! Not only was Alan totally professional, but he took the worries and considerable work off my shoulders and I was able to relax, confident that all the details were being taken care of. Nothing was too much trouble, Alan’s communication and team work skills are wonderful, and I was kept in touch and up to date at all stages of the process – plus he was fun to work with! Alan worked incredibly hard to maximise the highly effective “Harcourts Team Machine”. I was confident that the best outcome would be achieved which it was with a sale price and conditions for the property in excess of my expectations – and all within 2 ½ weeks of marketing! I would highly recommend Alan and would not hesitate to work with him again. Thanks so much Alan and every best wish for the future – you deserve to be truly successful! Jane Ross.
