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.

Jo Hoogervorst teamed up with Alison Carter and ran a smooth auction campaign to sell our Lyttelton section, a niche market property requiring a considered approach, especially in the middle of winter. We were impressed by Jo and her level of competence and engagement. She communicated thoroughly throughout the campaign and put us at ease on auction day. We enjoyed her creativity and enthusiasm. Very happy with the service and result. Can highly recommend.
Debi keeps it real which is super refreshing. We had a goal and she helped us get there with clear communication the whole way through.

Jan-Louise was tireless in organising and managing open homes and an excellent reader of where my house might be positioned in the market. But her real strength lay in working with interested buyers. She had an intuitive grasp of their expectations-as well as the seller’s! When it became clear that the house required a degree of retrospective consent, she remained unflappable, allaying anxiety and maintaining a steady pace towards bringing the property to auction. I suspect that this was in large measure due to her experience which when put together with her ability to judge people conveyed a calm confidence. It was this combination of skills that worked so well to keep me the buyer on track and to allay my anxieties over the process of selling. Additionally, she liased brilliantly with family members who carried much of the administrative load for me. They too were impressed with the way she worked alongside them. For me, her approach was exactly what I needed. I would recommend her highly.

She was always available by phone, inlcuding weekends and was always very positive throughout the process, we really felt like she was rooting for us and our family and that gave us a lot of hope to obtain our first home.
