Agencies in Lyttelton, Canterbury

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.

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.

Emma Shine and the team had a very friendly business decorum, moving at a good speed, open and knowledgeable with all facts going forward in selling our property and also purchasing recently. Emma had apt correspondence we were always informed yet respected during this process. Spot on agent that we would recommend….

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.

Fernanda’s professionalism, market knowledge, communication and negotiation skills as well as her compassion, tenacity and personality are second to none. My complete faith in her ability allowed me to relax knowing that every aspect of the marketing and sale process would be carried out to the highest standard. She was in constant contact, updating me on developments, calmly dealing with any problems and within 5 days of the first open home presented me with an acceptable offer followed by a ‘brought forward’ auction which resulted in an excellent outcome. All of this in a very difficult market. I know how hard she worked to achieve this result and will continue to sing her praises so others can benefit from her expertise.

Fernanda kept us in the loop through the whole process. She gave us expert, accurate advice and she knew what would be the best route for the sale of our property. She was gentle and took her time explaining everything slowly and clearly to my elderly father. Her team achieved a very successful outcome in a very short space of time. Her advice was always on point, professional and timely. I would 100+% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you team Fernanda.

Fernanda - Honest, reliable, communication is fantastic and very professional. If we wanted something done, she would get onto it straight away and get back to us with regular updates. I had my son go to a lot of open homes as we are from out of Christchurch and Fernanda was the only agent who greeted him with a friendly smile and a joke or two, took time with him and answered all his questions while other potential buyers were looking through houses as well. NO other agents did this - including other Harcourts agents. Some were rude or even ignored him. Fernanda treats everyone equal and gives time and is very sincere. We would definitely go back to her if we were to sell or buy another house. Even though ours was an auction she help negotiate extras for us. Fernanda organised 4 viewings outside the normal open homes and even drove me to them since I was from out of Christchurch. Honestly can't find a fault!!

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!

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.

All requests for information were answered and done so quickly, they also guided us through the auction process to help on the day.

Mala was extremely warm and friendly from the first moment we met her. Mala was so accommodating and never rushed us to make decisions. Mala was informative and very kind especially under nerve racking times and was a calm presence to both myself and my husband. Mala was more like a friend than a realtor which made this experience rather enjoyable sharing some laughs along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Mala and we wish her all the best in her career. Bevan and Sarah

"I was aware that the local agent had a very good reputation. Very professional and goes the extra mile to ensure full customer satisfaction."

"Wayne was relaxed and friendly and put me at ease throughout the process. I appreciate his low key demeanor which made me trust him. No hard sell which I found in other open homes."
