We’ve now sold two properties with Leeann, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She strikes a rare balance between being a strong sales professional and a pragmatic deal maker. From the outset, Leeann takes the time to understand what really matters to you and keeps that front and centre throughout the process. You always feel like you have someone in your corner who is focused on your outcome. What stands out most is her dedication to her craft and her persistence. Even when things become challenging, she stays the course, problem-solves proactively, and continues to drive toward the best possible result. She brings a level of ownership that feels personal, not transactional. Leeann works hard, communicates clearly, and is deeply committed to delivering a great outcome. We’ve trusted her twice now for a reason.
Marie knows the market well and puts every effort into research. Excellent communication and advice.
What an agent — why stop at ⭐⭐⭐⭐ when Joanna deserves ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! If you want an agent who treats your property like it’s the only one they are selling, then Joanna is the person for you. She is professional, highly communicative, quick to respond, and knows the market exceptionally well. This was not an easy time to sell my property, and I believe that is the true test of a great real estate agent. As the saying goes, a good sailor doesn’t learn to sail in smooth waters. Throughout the process Joanna remained approachable, positive, proactive, and genuinely hungry to achieve the best possible result. I was always told to look for an agent who is hungry — Joanna absolutely proved why that matters. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

We have used Oksana for over 10 years for sales and purchase on various properties. Never let us down and allways gives 110 %
Emma was incredibly professional throughout the entire process and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept me well informed at every stage and was proactive in following up with potential buyers, which I really appreciated. Her creativity with marketing really set her apart, the campaign felt fresh, engaging, and thoughtfully executed. I have a huge amount of respect for the effort and dedication she put into achieving the best possible result for me. I can’t recommend Emma highly enough to anyone looking for an agent who genuinely goes above and beyond.

We couldn't be happier with trusting Whitefox in selling our home. They made the process stress free with up front, honest and proactive communication. The marketing campaign far exceeded our expectations which resulted in a swift sale I can't wait to work with them in the future David and Anna

Agent is extremely competent in all respects,very efficient in marketing and advisement. A delight to deal with.
Brent met us to list the property. Very professional from the start. Jayne came along to the next meeting to guide us in setting up the house rooms and outdoor areas for best presentation. She was involved in the selling and marketing right up to sale time. Creighton assisted in open home days, and we also found him very accommodating and so helpful. Georgie - just brilliant. We had a progress meeting at the Harcourts Spitfire office at the airport. On arrival the receptionist, Kylie, got up and came out from her desk. Smiling she gave us a warm welcome and asked if we would like a cold drink, tea or coffee and escorted us into a room for the meeting. Brent and Jayne came into the room and bought with them a lady called Grace. She was introduced by Brent as the office manager. Straight away we were impressed and she said she was there to assist also. We went over the progress report which showed the work ethic of all the staff had added to successful open home days and site visits by prospective buyers with other fellow Harcourts real estate agents. We walked out of their office feeling really good about what they were doing. A couple of days before the Auction we had an auction meeting at the Papanui branch. Grace also attended that meeting, and we soon saw the worthiness of her presence yet again. Riley, the auctioneer was also present. He had attended an open day (just before the opening day started) to introduce himself to us and viewed the property he was going to auction. Again, a very impressive member of the team. Came across very informatively and knowledgeable on the matters of auctions. The process was outlined very clearly and a reserve agreed upon. Once again, we left that meeting feeling extremely comfortable at where everything was at for the house sale. On auction day we were met by Brent, Jayne, Grace, Creighton and Riley. We sat next to Grace who guided us through. The property sold well above the reserve price. The auctioneer was outstanding.
