We had a fantastic experience working with Josh to sell our townhouse. From the very beginning, he was friendly, professional and easy to deal with. His communication was excellent, keeping us updated throughout the entire process and always making himself available to answer any questions. Josh managed to secure a sale quickly, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We really appreciated his hard work, approachable nature and commitment to getting the job done. Would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to sell their property!
Maddie made the process less stressful, I had gotten to the unconditional stage a few times for other properties, but she was by far the most helpful with communicating with the vendor and requesting answers to our queries very efficiently. I felt supported through the process and getting the tasks ticked off as required. It was the least stressed I have felt throughout the whole process thus far. Would highly recommend her to anyone moving forward.
Hollie and I chose Garyn to sell our home in Sydenham, and we would happily use him again. He gave us an honest read on the market from day one and kept us informed at every step. When a couple of curly issues came up, he worked through them quickly and without fuss. We were buying at the same time, so we needed an agent who could keep things moving. Garyn did exactly that. He knows the Christchurch market and puts his clients first. If you are thinking of selling, give him a call.
I was told of recent sale prices in immediate area . He followed up on results of my sale to check if still interested and achieved quick negotiations of price difference to achieve my budget
We recently purchased a Christchurch property while residing on the Gold Coast and Garyn made the entire long-distance process seamless. From the start, he accommodated the time difference, and gave us honest, transparent feedback on the Christchurch market. I viewed the property while over visiting my family. Back on the Gold Coast we were on the phone with him during the live Auction. We couldn't have done it without him and highly recommend Garyn if looking for your next purchase. We now cannot wait for the property to settle in the next month and move back to reside in Christchurch next year. Thanks Garyn
Courtney devised a comprehensive marketing plan which was well executed. Her communication was very effective and we were always up to date with all aspects, from the initial signing to the successful sale. Courtney has a high level of communication, excellent open homes programme and feed back which kept us informed. Her enthusiasm to deliver the best service was very impressive. I always knew where we were in the process. Although we didn't sell at Auction once we set our price we achieved 2 good offers on the first week end. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone wishing to sell, her knowledge is extensive and delivery is un matched. Courtney is supported by her team Olivia and Maddie a big thank you to them. Thanks from Steph and Ken

When we reached out Max for the sale of our property, he immediately sprung to action by organizing open homes and getting us in contact with a great Lawyer and a great lender. Even when the interest in our property started to wayne, Max kept going strong with the open homes, and reached out to his network of contracts for any referrals from his old clients. He never gived up on us and only thanks to his determination we were finally able to sell. He provided us with great feedback about the many many properties we visited, and was always present whenever we needed him. Thank you Max!!!

We bought our first home with Max, he understood what we wanted and was also frank with us about what we could afford. I appreciate that communication wasn’t overwhelming or thin. Details were at the right place. Cheers Max, thanks for your help.
Aaron brings knowledge and experience which gives confidence that you're in good hands. He is adaptable to your needs as he professionally helps you navigate the sale process from start to finish.

Adam was proactive, knowledgeable and went the extra mile to get a good outcome for us. He took the time to understand what we wanted and provided solid advice and expectations. His experience and connections were helpful to arrange everything we needed right through the sale process, which we valued due to no longer living local and making the whole process smooth. We would highly recommend him to anyone selling or considering selling.
