Very professional and always available for advice. No pressure applied at any stage. Helpful and friendly advice throughout. Lee made what can be a very stressful process as easy as possible. Entirely trustworthy and very highly recommended.
Thomas (and Anna) were extremely responsive and knowledgeable throughout the purchase process. It was a pleasure to work with them. They were very accommodating and made the whole process seem very easy. Fantastic agents!
They provided clear and friendly information about the property market and motivated to us sell the house on right season. We got reasonable price. They followed excellent marketing strategies which is one of the reasons to get the reasonable price, They also well guided us to organise the property while in selling process.
We couldn’t have wished for a better agent than Ali. Throughout the entire process, he was dedicated, communicative, and professional. His advice was always careful, considered, and absolutely spot on. The marketing of the property was exceptional. Ali worked tirelessly to attract the maximum number of potential buyers and achieve the best possible result for us. He was also extremely accommodating, working with us early in the morning and late in the evening while we were overseas in a different time zone. Thanks to Ali and his excellent campaign, we achieved a fantastic result. The investment in staging, photography, video, advertising, and holding an auction was absolutely worth it. We thoroughly recommend Ali to anyone looking to sell their property. In our view, he is one of the top agents in Christchurch, and quite possibly in all of New Zealand.
Sean was very patient
Thomas communicated well. You felt like he was the mediator between two parties and his role is to create the win/win which he did so well. He was understanding of our wants and felt like he was going above and beyond.
Matt is an honest and efficient professional to work with. He was patient, helpful, and highly professional throughout the entire purchase process. I really appreciated his support and clear communication at every step. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
Our one line summary: with Dhaval on your side, whether for selling or buying a property, you are in excellent hands! Dhaval recently helped us with selling of our property. He truly went above and beyond in every aspect and at every stage of the process. As we were overseas, he became the project manager to ensure that the property was renovated to a high standard and presented well. On our behalf, he worked with several tradespeople to help get the work completed in a timely manner and within budget. For marketing the property, he did everything well which resulted in a huge number of potential buyers through multiple open homes. His estimate of the sell price was accurate, based on good experience of the market. Nothing was ever a problem for Dhaval! When there were hurdles on the way, he suggested the solutions too, often sending a detailed message followed up with a phone call to work through the suggested solutions. He provided what could be termed as a fantastic combination of professional service with genuine personal touch. Let me finish by saying that this was the second occasion our family have used the exceptional services provided by Dhaval. No prizes for guessing who we will be calling for any future help!

From the outset, and for the duration, Cheryl always responded in a timely manner. She is an excellent listener and demonstrated clearly that she understood what she is being asked by her client. Her communication style is sensitive, warm, reassuring and responsive to the needs of the client. We found her market knowledge to be both current and sound and she supported the successful sale of our home with her excellent negotiation skills.
Matt made me part of the planning for our effective marketing campaign. He then calmly soothed our by now pretty upset buyer after a hidden plumbing issue cropped up. Nothing deflated his air of quiet confidence. I needed that because I am far more volatile by nature. This guy stands firm, getting the job done. He even left me a thoughtfully non alcoholic little success basket. A little thing, but it shows the man's class.
