When looking for a real estate agent, most people expect integrity, trustworthiness, relatability and above all experience at negotiating with haggling buyers.

With around 1600 real estate agents in the Christchurch area the task of finding the best agent for your property should be approached with caution because skill level, character and experience all vary greatly.

Many people often choose the first agent they come across or the one they used last time, but this is a gamble, not something you want to do with what may well be your largest asset. 

CAUTION URGED WHEN CHOOSING AN AGENT

When preparing to sell a house, we urge you to get fully informed about a real estate agent's integrity and capabilities using our vetting service - (all at no cost since 2009)

We include information about real estate commission, appraisal valuations and questions to ask agents so you will be more equipped than most to make properly informed decisions that will achieve the result you need.

You're entitled to competence. Request a shortlist of the best agents in Christchurch - all at no cost.
