Client testimonials

Slide 1 of 24

Proactive communication, honesty in all discussions, reliable and listened to our requirements carefully, and delivered against our expectations.

Blair & Sara Morris

Christine turned our marketing campaign around, switched the sale type and we had 2 buyers within weeks, after a year of no offers. Needless to say we recommend Christine, she's very proactive and a good communicator with years of experience.

Deborah Everett and James Stimpson

Wonderful lady, excellent communicator, and always upbeat and confident.

Tony Hodge and Donnapha Jandadan

Christine has been great to deal with and quick to respond to questions/queries. She seemed to have the kind of commitment to us as one would expect of an agent/vendor relationship, so never felt like she was working mainly for the vendor. She's been very helpful throughout the process of our purchase.

Geoff and Nada Stadtlander

Christine is outstanding in her professionalism and knowledge. She is hardworking and delightful to work with. Christine ensured a sale of our property within three weeks. We would highly reccommend her to anyone. A big thank you from us.

Christine just gets the job done. Very knowledgeable and listened to our needs. Only brought qualified buyers which was appreciated. This made the sale process a pleasure. We will be using Christine as our agent again. Thanks Christine.

Elisabeth Yate and Selwyn Currie

Christine provide continuous update on the sale and purchase agreement, dealt efficiently with our queries, followed up on phone conversations and providing additional details as required - her experience shows through - highly recomended.

Richard Percy

Christine’s personable approach with the purchasers together with her deep knowledge of the Mangawhai market have seen her sell many millions of dollars worth of land for Sanctuary North Ltd. Christine has the knack of working in the vendors best interests while befriending the purchasers, who have great faith in her advice. I unconditionally recommend Christine based on her achievements for me to date.

David Nathan

I have known Christine for 15 years. I have bought and sold property with her. I cannot speak highly enough of Christine’s professionalism, integrity and her ability to close a deal. She is incredibly hardworking and committed. She tells it how it is and consistently over delivers. She is a highly knowledgeable and effective rural/lifestyle property agent. Nothing is too much trouble and she always goes the extra mile.

Methods of sale

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.

Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.

  • Auctions are the most transparent sales process, putting all qualified purchasers together in one room, increasing competition to aid determination of fair market value
  • A sale under the auction hammer is cash unconditional, providing sellers with certainty to plan their next move
  • The deadline timeframe of the auction process creates urgency and a window for buyers to complete due diligence

Usually set over a specific four-or-five week timeframe, the tender process leverages the timeframe element to invite buyers to submit a formal offer. After this, you can negotiate the terms of the sale with your preferred purchaser.

Expressions of interest invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.

Properties offered for sale by negotiation leave value to be determined by the market. This is where the advice and experience of your qualified Bayleys salesperson can assist in determining where you see value for the property and are comfortable accepting an offer. Sales by negotiation are generally open-ended, with the absence of time pressure on both buyers and sellers.
