We had a great experience dealing with Coralie when purchasing our land in Twizel. She was friendly, professional and really easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. She made everything straightforward and was always happy to help with any questions we had. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property!

She was good worked out well
We had been looking at a property in Twizel on and off for over a year and Coralie was always responsive to initial enquiries and patient with our many questions! We've found this is so often not the case with local agents as out of town buyers. In terms of the purchase of the property we've just completed she was just excellent in all respects. Easy to deal with, quick to respond and straight up during negotiations. She also helped us get our heads around some of the things to consider when moving to this area with its unique environment which was much appreciated.
Coralie is a knowledgeable estate agent, who is approachable and always available for her clients. She has strong marketing and communication skills.

I chose Whitefox primarily for their marketing and unique approach to selling real estate, which I felt aligned well with my property. It was a bit of a leap, given they hadn’t previously taken on a property in the Mackenzie District, but I was introduced to Kate and from the outset, her enthusiasm stood out in a way I hadn’t experienced with other agents. She embraced the opportunity to take on a more complex, non-standard property in a new region, and approached it with confidence and genuine interest. Her communication was consistently clear, and building trust with her came very easily. Her knowledge was strong, and where needed, her willingness to dig deeper and fully understand the property was obvious. The result was outstanding. Not only did she respect and support the value I saw in the property, but she also connected with a buyer who truly understood it, matching that same level of enthusiasm and insight. She managed a high volume of enquiry with professionalism, quickly identifying genuine purchasers and securing a strong offer in a short timeframe which was so impressive. From there, she guided the process through with diligence and care, maintaining transparency, trust, and a sense of fairness between both parties. The end result was a smooth, efficient, and timely transaction and a genuine connection between the purchasers and I. I now consider Kate both a trusted professional contact and a friend. She has absolutely reinstated my confidence in the value of a great agent, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Coralie and Erica were an excellent team to work with selling our first property all round a great experience. Communication was simple, clear, and easy to understand at every stage which made everything feel stress-free and well managed. Right from the beginning of the process the were clear around expectations and gave us the confidence to be patient and get the best outcome - which paid off. We appreciated their honest advice, strong market knowledge, and straightforward communication. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and results driven agent.
