We had an outstanding experience working with Jobi Smith. As a first‑home buyer, the process felt overwhelming at times, but her professionalism, patience, and genuine commitment made all the difference. She guided us with such care, always communicating clearly, promptly, and with a reassuring tone that helped us feel confident every step of the way. We're deeply grateful for her honesty and attention to detail, every recommendation she shared was thoughtful, well‑explained, and truly in our best interest. She made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth, supported, and surprisingly easy. We wholeheartedly recommend Jobi Smith to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy real estate agent. Her exceptional service helped turn our first‑home dream into reality, and we couldn’t be more thankful.
Claudine was very lovely to work with - prompt to respond to emails, flexible with appointments, good follow through, with a kind and calm demeanour. Thanks Claudine!
Chris and Emma worked as a team to sell my townhouse. They made me feel completely taken care of through the whole process, while being consistently positive and encouraging. I honestly felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything because they were so good at competently managing each step and communicating these to me. I knew they were generously looking after potential buyers at the other end as well. I was free to focus on preparing my home for open homes, and searching for my next property, instead of being bogged down in the details of selling. The feeling of being so well taken care of means a-lot to me, as a solo parent. Due to Chris and Emma’s exceptional work as well as the high end presentation that Sotheby’s offers, they achieved an excellent sale result at our auction. I experienced a smooth, enjoyable process with a great result and so highly recommend them both.
Grace has been great to deal with. She is an excellent communicator, very accommodating, and always made time for property viewings and phone calls. She was also very helpful with last minute requests, including arranging an auction variation form on the same day as the auction. I really appreciated her support and professionalism throughout the process.
I purchased through Auction and the team were supportive, professional and not pushy.

Quick to reply and answer questions. Conveyed integrity, Managed the tricky balance of keeping in touch without being pushy. Kindly rearranged some time to accommodate my schedule. All in all great!
Nathan and his team were excellent. They were very professional, prompt in their communication, and made sure that every step in the process of confirming the purchase went smoothly. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere that Nathan created during my initial viewing of the property, which allowed me to envision myself relaxing in the space; his follow up communication prompting me to take action as a buyer; and his commitment to facilitating an agreement, while allowing me the time and space I needed to make a decision and arrange finance.

Jan’s years of experience are what make the difference when faced with selling in an unpredictable market. Jan’s knowledge of Christchurch, her wonderful way with people and her sheer staying power are what sees her get consistently great outcomes for her sellers. She’s an absolute joy to work with, unfailingly professional and consistently goes the extra mile to make the process as stress free as possible. I’ve bought and sold with Jan and can’t endorse her highly enough, you can’t go wrong putting your property needs in her capable hands.
