Selling my property was never going to be easy, with more than 10 competing properties surrounding mine. Despite the challenges, the team remained confident, proactive, and committed throughout the entire process. Their communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way, and their market knowledge helped position our property effectively against strong competition. Their negotiation skills were outstanding, working hard to secure the best possible outcome and ensuring no opportunity was missed. Most importantly, they remained professional, responsive, and dedicated from start to finish. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.
We had struggled to sell our property for more than half a year. We had no offers and needed a new direction. Chosing Malia was one of the best decisions we made, within a few days we had a new strategy, and marketing plan. A short campaign brought in an offer and we converted to that into an agreement for sale and purchase all within the span of a few weeks. Malia clearly cares about outcomes for her clients and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to sell on the greater Christchurch area.
Cass is a very committed agent. She is friendly and nothing is too hard for her. She is always thinking ahead and be the essential bridge between the vendor and the buyer. Definitely recommended.
Michelle, Cass and the rest of the team are always working hard to achieve the best result. It is always easy to communicate with either of them and it is always a pleasure to work with such a professional and friendly team. Highly recommended.
Relaxed manner but also clear understanding regarding real estate.

Alison has sold our other properties, would mot use anyone else, does a great job in negotiating best price.
Aaron was amazing from the get go. He was friendly, punctual, well researched on the area and the type of buyer who would purchase so therefore thinking of advertising to attract that type of buyer. He was quick to ring contacts who he had in mind already and gave us great advice regarding staging musts to showcase the property. Nothing was ever a problem and he was always quick to reply to messages and follow up about the outcome of the open homes. He'd often stay later than advertised if he had the time as he could see we had good foot traffic etc. All in all a very quick and focus effort that got a great result. We would have no hesitation to use Aaron again and would strongly recommend to others. Thanks Aaron!
Great communication, very efficient & Professional
Successful and result driven agents who went above and beyond our expectations ….. Highly recommended
Aaron was a brilliant communicator in every aspect. Honest and straightforward. Knowledge within the city centre and the market in general was very helpful. He went the extra mile for me. He is very professional always on time and always communicating. I will happily go through the process of selling a property with Aaron again.

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies.

Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
