Client Experiences
“Got us exactly what we wanted! Courtney was realistic through out the whole process and on auction day got us the results we wanted. Her marketing strategy ensured we had high numbers through our open homes and in turn, got us the result we were after. Thank you Courtney for short but sharp campaign, would recommend.”
- 10A QUAIFES ROAD, HALSWELL – LISA & MICHAEL
“Great communication - smooth process. Courtney was great to work with during the sale of our property. She maintained a high level of communication which gave us comfort that the campaign was progressing as expected. Courtney also leveraged her Harcourts connections to ensure any potential buyers were found. Thanks for all your help in selling our property Courtney - much appreciated. ”
– 74 MUIRHILL STREET, HALSWELL – JAMES & KATE
“Short sharp campaign. This is the second time I have worked with Courtney on the sale of a house. This one was very personal to me as it was my family home. Courtney put forward a fantastic campaign. She is a very well presented, professional person that I enjoyed working with. Courtney was excellent at keeping me up to date on everything that was happening, she also replied to my numerous questions very quickly. I would highly recommend Courtney as your next real estate person.”
- 23 WENDOVER STREET, BISHOPDALE – KAREN
“Great experience. We chose to sell our house through Courtney as from the first impression she was professional and friendly. She was also honest when issues came up and was proactive to get them sorted. As it was our first time selling, we were really impressed at how easy she made the whole process. We would recommend her to anyone and would happily buy or sell through her in the future”
- 23 DENISE CRESCENT, HORNBY – ALICE & GLEN
"Superstar agent. Courtney is excellent at what she does. From our very first meeting Courtney made us feel confident and excited about the prospect of selling our property. We didn’t know Courtney prior, but we called her as she’d sold some properties in the area. As soon as we met we knew she’d be great. Throughout the process she was always quick to answer any questions we had and made us feel super comfortable and well looked after. Courtney is really down to earth and relatable. You feel like you’re working with a friend which makes everything so much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others looking to buy or sell in Christchurch. Thanks so much Courtney, we appreciate everything you did for us!"
– 85 MOORAY AVENUE, BISHOPDALE – HAYLEE &
SCOTT
“So glad to have her on our team! As potential buyers Courtney had truly taken the time to understand what we were looking for and had kept in touch and taken us through a couple of her local listings, so when a Harcourts listing we were interested in, but that was marketed by other agents came online, we had
no hesitation in contacting Courtney to take us through it. We were so glad we did as the experience was less than smooth. Courtney’s communication, follow up and service throughout was second to none, and we imagine had Courtney been the listing agent the whole transaction would have been a lot simpler. Courtney was fantastic in every way.”

Choosing the Right Method
We will provide you with advice based on the best outcome for your situation.
Methods of sale that involve a quick but intense marketing period are often the best choice and give you the opportunity to create urgency for buyers to act quickly.
Auction
Involving a high-profile structured campaign, you set the terms, conditions and auction date. You agree on a confidential reserve price, with no pressure to sell if that reserve is not met.
You’ll attract only genuinely interested buyers and all bidding is on a cash and unconditional basis.
It is also the most likely method to deliver a premium price as the keen buyer interest promotes competition.
Deadline Sale
This method of marketing creates a high profile for your property and establishes a competitive environment without having to list a price. You also set the terms, conditions and deadline date and you will find prospective buyers become emotionally involved with your home before they consider the price they have to pay.
They only have one opportunity to put forward their most competitive offer. You have the opportunity to accept, decline or continue negotiations with any interested party - it’s your choice.
Marketing with a Price
Buyers may choose not to inspect the property based on its price being too high or low.
• Set the price correctly in the initial marketing period.
• More buyers and the best buyers show interest soon after you’ve listed.
• When buyer competition is highest you achieve your best result.
• Overpriced properties take longer to sell.
• The longer you’re on the market, the lower your selling price.
Marketing without a Price
The marketing must capture the attention of the buyers. Our goal is to make a buyer’s shortlist and generate maximum buyer competition.
The property is judged on its merits not its price, the sale process will help gauge what the market value is at the time. We don't price your property, the market does.
The Best Auction Experience
We proudly call more auctions than any other real estate group in the South Island, and we’ve invested heavily in building a market leading auction programme.
From our state-of-the-art auction rooms and advanced technology to the expertise of our auctioneers and sales consultants, every element is designed to create transparency, build momentum, and encourage competition.

The Psychology Behind the Process
When buyers enter the market, their mindset is shaped by the sales process itself.
The way a property is presented, whether by negotiation, or auction - directly influences how buyers approach it, and ultimately, the result you achieve as a seller.
Here’s the key difference:
Buyers in a non-auction scenario are often asking themselves, “How can I buy this property for the lowest possible price?”
Auction buyers, on the other hand, are thinking, “How far can I stretch to be successful on auction day?”
This shift in mindset is crucial and it’s where auctions consistently deliver stronger outcomes.
