We cannot speak highly enough of Emma who handled the Sale of our property whilst we are now living overseas. Throughout the entire process, she provided outstanding service, keeping us regularly updated on market prices, buyers interest, offers received, and bidder activity. Her communication was exceptional , ensuring we always felt informed and involved despite living in Australia. Unfortunately, prior to listing our property, we experienced a very difficult situation with Anthony Bown ( Port Hill Builders, Smith and Son, BCA Construction ) who had failed to follow the required Consents and paper trail whilst renovating our property many years ago. This created considerable stress and uncertainty which was already an important and challenging time for us. Emma went above and beyond, helping us navigate this extremely difficult situation with patience, professionalism and Genuine care. She also recommended Builders and Solicitors who were helpful throughout the process making everything much easier to handle from Australia. Her dedication, honesty, professionalism and commitment to us was truly exceptional. We will always be grateful for the support she gave us, particularly during such a challenging period. She is an outstanding real estate agent who genuinely cares about her clients and goes far beyond simply selling a property We would wholeheartedly recommend Emma and her team for selling a property.
Emma has been a pleasure to work with for the sale of our house. She gave us good advice pre sale on presentation of the property, was always available during the sale process with very fast communication and exuded an air of calm professionalism throughout.
Emma was very diligent and worked hard for the sale , we regret focussing on one buyer that didn’t end very well for us.

Lee has been the most incredible help in the process of selling our property and also while buying a new one. Her dedication to making sure we had all the information we needed and the space to make an informed decision is unparalleled. It's rare to find an agent that puts so much of themselves into helping others. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lee to anyone who was buying or selling. Thanks so much Lee!

Alison kept us well informed along the way. Alison followed up with buyers every day. Alison gave us helpful feedback and passed on buyer questions. Alison procured a back up offer for us promptly
We had the pleasure of meeting and working with Brenda through the purchase of our home in Lyttelton. We were seated outside the property and gave her a call, she was there in 15 mins, and that responsiveness is a feature of the way she approaches her work (and maybe life? lol). Her energy and enthusiasm were invaluable when working through a couple of tough issues with the purchase; we didn’t know how to proceed but the solutions she brought to the table through her experience and flexible thinking untied that frustration and let the process flow. We are both very grateful for having had Brenda to help us and we wholeheartedly recommend her.
It is difficult to find enough superlatives to express the level of my satisfaction with the service Brenda delivered. Her communication was prompt, accurate, honest as well as warm friendly and enthusiastic. Her attention to detail was exceptional. When she wasn't able to immediately answer my questions, she found the answer or solution and was straight back to me. Brenda's positivity and enthusiasm is infectious. She connects easily and seems able to sense what people need without asking. I was fully informed throughout my entire marketing and sales process. I felt in full control of all decisions at all times. To her credit; when my stress levels were creeping up, her calm and professional manner helped to bring me back down again. I opted for auction as I'd never sold that way before. It was excellent. The stress was compressed, but I couldn't have asked for a better result from the entire Harcourts team on that day. I will be recommending Brenda and her team to everyone I know!
Emma's professional and friendly manner was much appreciated. Her communication was excellent and we were kept informed of all developments. Phone calls were returned promptly and her helpful manner made things easy. Would highly recommend her.

Alison's experience and knowledge were invaluable. She was calm, honest, and the voice of reason throughout the whole process, giving us confidence every step of the way. Her advice was always thoughtful, and we felt she genuinely had our best interests at heart. Jo Hoogervorst brought great energy to the team, and together they complemented each other perfectly. Having them both at the auction was a real support. If you're looking for agents who are experienced, genuine, and keep you informed every step of the way, we'd highly recommend Alison and Jo. Thanks again for all your hard work!
I had a horrible time deciding to put my house back on the market when I lost my job but bc I was so worried about my recent work history and unwellness I regrettably decided to relist it. Emma was sensitive, non intrusive and mindful of how stressful it was for me at all times. I was sad when it sold and she was kind. Good Job Emma Highly recommend her.
