Purchased first home via auction, Alison was helpful and responsive to communication.

Alison made selling my home an easy and successful experience. From the start, she was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions. She sold my home quickly and for more than I expected! I always felt she had my best interests in mind and was honest and straightforward with her approach!

Alison was so helpful in buying our first home. Pleasant to interact with and very informative! Thanks again Alison!

Have looked at multiple houses with Alison and when purchasing our house it was incredibly easy and comfortable.


We already knew Alison as she sold our house for us and we were impressed then by her hard-working and astute approach. We saw these same qualities when buying via Alison. Alison is reliable and responsive and knows real estate and the Sumner market inside-out.

Alison was awesome. She sold my house in 2007 and I had no hesitation or second thoughts about asking her to do it again. Post earthquake selling is a different and much more complicated process and she guided me through it with excellent communication and support. I really felt that I could be honest and upfront with her as she was with me. Our first meeting was full of valuable information, she came very prepared and answered any queries knowledgeably and provided a full explanation of the process. . Alison was always very professional and at the same time friendly and supportive. She has an excellent knowledge of the area and is now helping me buy another house. She is incredibly hard working but at the same time I never felt that my property and needs were not important to her. I also really appreciated the support, expertise and guidance through the auction process. I have no hesitation in recommending Alison to any prospective seller or buyer. Thanks so much Alison

Alison is friendly, superbly well-organised and gets on with the business of selling a property, which is exactly what I was looking for from an agent.

Alison has amazing market knowledge and was able to support us in making our decisions on selling. She has excellent communication skills and was always available to help and answer any questions. She is thoroughly professional in all her dealings. I can highly recommend her.

As Alison had successfully sold my previous properties, there was no question I was going to engage her again to sell our family home of 70 years. Alison has the ability to tap into her wide range of potential buyers and, right from the first open home, attendance numbers were exceptional and exceeded 100 parties over the 3 week marketing period. With the potential a large section offered, Alison was kept extremely busy and practically “lived” at the address with plenty of private viewings. Alison is such a hard worker and she diligently solved a few curveballs and complications that came with a post-earthquake section. Selling a house can be stressful but Alison’s experience, local knowledge and friendly manner reassures her clients and makes it a pleasure to work with her. She is extremely well organised and her prompt and informed communication throughout was much appreciated. My brother and I were so happy with the number of registered bidders at the auction and the fantastic result Alison (and her amazing Auctioneer Lisa) achieved for the property. Alison is a true professional, a credit to Harcourts and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Professional, down-to-earth, with integrity and a sense of humour, Alison Carter is an agent I will look to transact with again. Her communication has been superb while going ‘above and beyond’ to source information and answer queries. It really has been a pleasure doing business.

Alison is professional and very accomodating to overseas sellers needs and requests. However Alison did set our seller price expectation too high resulting in some disappointment.
