More Than Just a Great Real Estate Agent

After meeting with more than 10 real estate agents, choosing Ben McCarthy to sell our Avonhead home was absolutely the right decision. Ben stood out immediately for being genuine, down-to-earth, empathetic, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Unlike many agents, he never felt pushy or overly sales-driven. Instead, he focused on people, communication, and doing the right thing for his clients. The level of guidance, feedback, communication, and support we received throughout the auction campaign was exceptional, and it always felt like Ben prioritised quality over quantity. What impressed us most was how consistently Ben went above and beyond for us and the buyers throughout the entire sale process. His professionalism, care, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful for everything Ben did and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a property specialist in Avonhead or Christchurch.

What a truly amazing guy to deal with.

Having lived in one home for over 50 years, it was no small step to find the right replacement. The expertise and professionalism shown by Ben McCarthy was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. His cheerful manner and willingness to go out of his way to help made the purchase easy and a pleasure. Well done Ben we will be recommending you to others - what an asset you are for Harcourts Grenadier.

Exceptional Agent Who Truly Delivers Results

We couldn’t be happier with the amazing job Ben did selling our mother's property, especially given it was a challenging sale being an over 60s property. From start to finish, his communication was absolutely outstanding. Ben kept us informed every step of the way, always following up after each open home to let us know how things went, which we really appreciated. He consistently went above and beyond, offering creative options and solutions to help potential buyers and support the sale of our home. We would hands down use Ben again for any future property sales. He has been incredible to work with — professional, dedicated, and genuinely committed to getting the best outcome. Thanks again, Ben — you’ve been amazing!

Fantastic Experience

Ben has been extremely helpful and successful with finding a new home for myself. He offered plenty of options that fitted my requirements and budget. He was able to arrange viewings at times that worked for me and my schedule. When I found a place, he was able to get a contract through to me within a few hours, which was presented and accepted the next day. I could not recommend Ben enough! It was a pleasure to work with him!

Genuine and Trustworthy

Ben's knowledge and genuine nature meant that he was able to guide me through the sale process that resulted in a purchase price above and beyond what we had expected. Nothing is too much or too hard, Ben is extremely accommodating, professionalism and able to answer any questions. Thanks very much for making what could have been a really difficult process, a lot easier. Many thanks, Sam

Professional, friendly, honest - Ben was great to deal with!

I was the purchaser of a property that Ben was selling. I visited Chch from out of town and Ben was super accommodating and flexible as to showing me through the property. He was great to deal with before, during, and after the purchase, always willing and able to answer any questions and facilitate things between us and the vendor. Great guy to deal with from a purchaser's point of view, and I would definitely approach him to help with a sale of a property!
