Agencies in Kaiapoi, Canterbury

From our very first meeting, Zani stood out. Her friendly, down-to-earth style was backed with clear expertise and a solid understanding of the current market. Zani immediately identified who the property would appeal to most and crafted a marketing plan that hit the mark, backed by research and evidence from similar recent sales. Following her advice, we opted for an auction rather than a deadline sale, as other agents suggested—and it was the right call. Zani also gave valuable guidance on preparing the house, highlighting what we needed to do—and what we didn’t—plus a list of trusted contractors to help with staging. Her marketing strategy was equally thoughtful, focusing on maximum exposure to the right buyers. As someone in marketing, I cast a very critical eye over her plan —but didn’t change a thing. From signing the contract to the successful auction six weeks later, Zani kept us informed every step of the way. She followed up on every enquiry, summarised open home feedback, and made sure we understood where buyers were seeing value. Whenever we had questions, she and her amazing support team responded promptly, and the team was very sensitive to the fact that this was a deceased estate. Open homes were very well-attended, and on auction day, there were two serious buyers in the room. Zani’s excellent timing and negotiation skills pushed the final price to the top of her initial realistic range, proving she knows exactly what she’s doing and genuinely has her clients’ best interests at heart. If you want an EXCEPTIONAL real estate agent who delivers on promises, communicates clearly, and works tirelessly to get a great result, you can’t go past Zani Polson.

Jack and Jan were always wonderful to deal with. They were both excellent at communicating during the process, and at providing spot on advice at each stage. Their knowledge of the market, skill, and professionalism achieved an outstanding result in a short time.

Whitney was patient, hardworking and just amazing. Obviously it takes time and money finding the right home but she stood by us for months of house viewings. Great to get along with and understanding!! Everyone use Whitney to find your perfect home

I was very impressed with Whitney as my real estate agent. She was warm & engaging to deal with, while also being really good at her job. I immediately felt at home with her as my representative and trusted her implicitly. She was able to explain all of the processes & jargon to me and was extremely effective at communicating what was happening during every step of the sales journey. I particularly liked how she kept me informed about every Open Home's outcome and how many potential buyers attended. Whitney was a good negotiator, from what I was able to observe; she certainly got more for my wee home than I expected! I would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of buying or selling a property.

Whitney made the whole process stress free with her knowledge, professionism and friendly personality. An absolute delight to work with.

I first met Narges when I was looking for a property and was impressed with their professionalism. When selling my property Shady's knowledge of the market, communication and advice was first class, making the process as stress free as possible. I have no hesitation in recommending Shady to anyone wishing to sell a property.

We cannot speak highly enough of the team at Attia. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Shady and Narges are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for their clients. We felt supported and well-informed every step of the way. Our priority was securing our next home before selling our existing property, and Shady went above and beyond to help make that happen. From liaising with agents to assisting with contracts, he guided us through every stage with confidence and expertise. Once we had secured our new home, our existing property was listed and successfully sold within just 3.5 weeks. Throughout the campaign, we received detailed weekly updates, including insights into market activity, open home attendance, and valuable feedback from prospective buyers. The communication was outstanding, and we always knew exactly where things stood. What truly sets Attia apart, however, are the thoughtful personal touches along the way - from the welcome pack to the unexpected thank you gifts. These gestures made us feel genuinely valued and reinforced that we were more than just another client. The team at Attia truly care about their clients' experience and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible result. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. A well-deserved 110% recommendation!
