Client Experiences
“We recently sold our home with the help of Melissa Davenport, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. What stood out most was her genuine care and attention to detail. It never felt transactional, she was truly invested in making this journey smooth and successful for us.” - SELLER
“Mark was very attentive right from when we began the process of selecting an agent to sell my mother’s house. He went above and beyond and even bought his own mower around and mowed the lawns before photos were taken. He was totally professional throughout and kept us well informed. He has a great team of contacts which made our jobs easier, a stager, cleaner and even a garage carpet installer that we used. I was really impressed that he dealt with EQC and insurance companies to help his potential buyers get the information they needed. The Harcourts processes and Marks attention to detail helped our house sell under the hammer after spirited bidding. A big shout-out to our auctioneer too, Phil McGoldrick, he was excellent to deal with too.” – JOHN “Another outstanding result! I recently had the pleasure of working with Melissa for the second time, and once again, she exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, her professionalism, expertise, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Melissa has a knack for understanding their clients’ needs and delivering results. Her deep knowledge of the market, combined with their personalized approach, ensured that we achieved a fantastic outcome with our recent sale. She was incredibly responsive, addressing all our questions and concerns promptly, and her guidance throughout the process was invaluable. This being the second time I’ve worked with Melissa is a testament to their exceptional service. Melissa made what could have been a daunting experience into a seamless and enjoyable one. If you’re looking for a real estate team that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers top-notch results, I highly recommend Melissa. Thank you for another outstanding job!” - SELLER “This was by far the best experience of selling a house I have ever had...I was pretty set on a Deadline but was convinced to try an Auction and have absolutely no regrets. After the first weekend of open homes the Auction was brought forward, and my home was sold 8 days after hitting the market. Friendly, fast, and fantastic is how I would describe Mark and his team! Thanks very much for your guidance and professional approach.” – CLAIRE

Choosing the Right Method
We will provide you with advice based on your situation to ensure the best outcome possible.
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 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. Most 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.
Auction Gives You Three Opportunities to Sell. You're in control at every stage of the process
