How I work

End-to-end, from first call to the keys.

Engagement terms are agreed in writing before any search begins, so you know exactly what's included from day one.

01

Private consultation

We discuss your goals, timing, budget and how you want to live — by video call, wherever you are.

02

Eligibility & strategy

Your buying position under New Zealand's overseas buyer rules is confirmed with your lawyer or immigration adviser, and a search strategy is agreed.

03

Search & shortlist

I search on- and off-market, inspect in person, and present a curated shortlist with candid, detailed reports and live video walkthroughs.

04

Due diligence & negotiation

Building reports, titles and value are scrutinised, then I negotiate firmly on price and terms on your behalf.

05

Settlement & arrival

I coordinate through to settlement and help you settle in — from the keys to the trusted local contacts you'll need.

The right advice. The right outcome.

Book a private, no-obligation consultation — by video call from anywhere in the world, or in person in Christchurch.
