Allen has a wealth of experience and delivers outstanding service to his clients.

I approached Allen 23 years ago to help me find the house which he has now sold for me. He was recommended to me by a colleague at work. I had absolute faith that he would do the best job and had no interest in seeking out another agent. Why? He has a depth of understanding about human nature and there's nothing more personal than buying or selling a home. I could contact him at any time and he kept in contact with me. His knowledge of the contractual law concerning real estate means that he is able to advise clients of any potential pitfalls that can occur. That is particularly reassuring in what can be a stressful time preparing one's house for sale and waiting for that key offer to come and then to be confirmed. He is strongly supported by Kelly Shackleton and I think it speaks volumes that their partnership in Team Gunn has lasted 24 years. They are both caring people and absolutely down to earth. They'll tell you things straight.

My family really appreciate all the support from Allen and his team. Allen is a true local with deep expertise in the city, able to access current situations while maintaining a long-term perspective. Highly recommended to have Allen and the team represent you, either you’re buying or selling.

Allen Gunn a champion agent! Thoughtfull, Helpful, Goes the extra mile

Allen Gunn helped me sell my house and then went the extra mile in helping me find my new house. Allen presents the rare and wonderful combination of high professionalism, coupled with genuine care for his clients. Allen's advice was extremely professional, helpful, and useful. His knowledge of the market is extensive, enabling him to provide professional guidance and helpful tips for his clients. Allen's extensive experience makes him a valuable asset when advising his clients. Allen shows genuine care for his clients and does his utmost to help them sail through the process of purchasing a house. Having Allen take me through the sale and purchase took the stress out of the process and made me feel confident knowing that I am in very good hands. Allen views honesty and integrity as fundamental to his relationship with the client, an approach that fosters a relationship built on confidence and trust. I am very grateful to have had Allen guide, advise, and support me throughout the entire process. Thank you, Allen, – you’re the Champ.

Allen and Kelly are outstanding, they care and go way beyond just professional advice & service

Allen and Kelly are outstanding, they care and go way beyond just professional advice & service

Allen and Kelly at Harcourts Gold in Christchurch have been with us every step of the way as we have searched for a house in Christchurch, a process that has taken over a year. They have helped us understand the market, as we are new to the city, and the advantages and opportunities each area of the city offers. As we are moving from a large lifestyle property in the lower North Island, it was important for us to understand and get to know Christchurch, and Allen and Kelly were a font of knowledge, At the same time they were constructive and kept us focused, guiding us towards areas and houses that would meet the criteria we had for a property. Our quest included unsuccessfully bidding or making offers on three properties and looking at numerous others. Through all of this, Allen and Kelly maintained their professionalism and sense of humor while also helping us to clearly come to grips with both the market and where it is moving, and the foibles and stress of the auction process. In summary, they went way past the extra mile, their assistance, enthusiasm and advice has been invaluable. We simply would not be where we are today without them. Thank you both!

Diligent to the extreme

We have had business dealings with Allen many times over the years. He has always kept in touch and was the obvious person to sell our latest home for us. It has been a tough market for Allen (and us!) because of the fact our home had monolithic cladding. Even though there have never been any issues this is often perceived as a negative for many potential purchasers. Allen has been honest, offered prudent advice to us, totally diligent and tirelessly followed up any potential buyers. His approach is professional and we both considered him 100% sincere. It took a while but we got there! We would certainly recommend him to sell your home!

We are so glad we chose Allan to sell our home for us. There was excellent communication from the get-go, and he worked with us to make sure we had everything in order for an efficient and successful campaign. This was our first time selling, and we felt well looked after. We were very happy with the result.

Real Estate agents can get a bad rep. I was a bit nervous looking for someone to work with in selling my Merivale house. Allen was a breath of fresh air. He's honest, humble, humorous and hard working. It was like working with a friend. He gives you good, honest feedback which accurately reflected the price we got on auction day. I can actually say Allen made it an enjoyable experience. I recommend him.
