Aaron did a great job for us and we were very happy with the sale. He worked hard throughout the process, communicated clearly and consistently, and kept us well informed about progress and buyer feedback. We always knew where things stood and felt that he was actively working to achieve a good result. Professional, straightforward and easy to deal with from start to finish.
Our decision to engage Aaron Pero in the selling of our house was influenced by his strong reputation within the inner city. It certainly proved to be a wise decision. The depth of his experience and his ability to guide a sale in a complex selling market was second to none. Aaron is very easy to work with. Positive and professional, with a good sense of humour, he was always responsive to our needs and questions, leaving us in no doubt that he was working in our best interests. Despite a challenging market in which many agents were clearly struggling, Aaron achieved a sale within our timeframes. This made the whole process easier and much less stressful. We would certainly engage Aaron in any future house buying or selling. We would also strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an agent with integrity, up-to-date knowledge of the markets, and with the skills and experience needed to achieve good outcomes. He’s been a pleasure to work with.
We’re so thankful to Aaron for helping us sell our property. He was always friendly, helpful and kept us updated throughout the whole process. We really appreciated his patience and guidance, and felt we were in good hands from start to finish. Thank you so much for all your hard work! We would definitely recommend him.
I have worked with Emma for two home sales and am looking forward to the next one. Emma’s professional, experienced and friendly handling of my sales let me relax through the entire process. I felt that I was in such good hands I could enjoy preparing my open-homes and going through the auction processes completely supported. Emma is an expert in her field. She is inspiring and calm and deals with every step elegantly and with humour as well. I absolutely recommend Emma to everyone who wants a satisfying selling experience with excellent results!
Selling in the Christchurch inner city can be challenging in today’s market, with many very similar townhouses within a small radius. However, Logan remained positive, consistent, and proactive with his marketing strategies throughout the entire process. Logan’s knowledge of the inner city market, along with his personal experience with Airbnb and rental properties, was a real advantage when selling our townhouse. He communicated with us after each open home, providing feedback and explaining his strategy for the following week. We really appreciated his clear communication and the effort he put into keeping the property well marketed and visible. Logan showed real strength during the negotiation phase, holding firm on our price and backing it with clear market reasoning. He understood the value of our property and didn’t allow competing listings or buyer pressure to undermine the result. His confidence, calm approach, and ability to justify our price point ensured we achieved the best possible outcome in a competitive inner city market. Logan worked incredibly hard to achieve a great result for us, and we truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism he brought to every step of the sale. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone and we wish Logan all the very best for the future. Steve and Janine

We can't express how satisfied we have been with Malcolm, and his lovely wife Kay! They have been extremely diligent in their approach to our house sale, achieving a very positive result. This is our second house sale with Malcolm and we cannot fault the professionalism, attention to detail and perseverance. This sale was for an apartment, which can sit on the market for a reasonable length of time, however, Malcolm kept refreshing the selling approach, which ultimately led to a happy Vendor and happy Purchaser. I referred Malcolm to a client of my own and he has exceeded their expectations with their house sale, so it goes without saying that we would highly recommend Malcolm if you're considering selling your property. Thanks Malcolm, Scott & Jo
I first met Nathan by chance at an open home in 2012. Ever since, his letters have somehow kept finding me through several changes of address, while his face appeared on enough billboards over the years to make sure I never forgot who he was. Persistent enough to be remembered, but never pushy. Years later, my neighbour sold his house for a great price after trying several agents. I asked who finally got it done. The answer? Nathan. After 14 years of quietly staying on my radar, the stars finally aligned and paid off for both of us.
Jimmy is an excellent communicator who goes above and beyond. Throughout the entire process of selling our house, Jimmy was extremely friendly, professional, knowledgeable, realistic, and clear in his communications. As first-time house-sellers, we found Jimmy was patient with us and helpful in explaining a variety of things that made the selling process far less stressful. His market knowledge was bang-on, and his attention to detail and willingness to go out of his way to assist with both paperwork and house presentation made all the difference. We really appreciated working with Jimmy, and can't recommend him enough.
