In 2009 I co-owned a section in Governors Bay, Christchurch. The section had been on the market on and off for over a year both with Trade Me and and other real estate agent in a very flat market.

Min Sarginson took over the marketing of the property when one of her agents left. I found Min to be thoroughly professional. She immediately contacted and set up separate meetings with myself and the co-owner .

She then proactively worked with buyers who showed interest in the section. This resulted in two offers from two different parties - the first offers in over a year.

Given the state of the market this process took some time and Min would always ring and leave a message  giving feedback on the buyer's progress.

The price achieved was realistic for the market and it was a relief to have the section sold so I could utilise the funds elsewhere.

I would recommend Min Sarginson to other vendors.

Yours truely

We chose Min Sarginson Real Estate to market our place in Governors Bay because of a number of factors really. She was the “local expert”, had a strong presence in the harbour area, understood the local market and we felt that “small and focused” was good. The larger real estate companies don’t work as a team - and were really only there to sign you up. Only the office that set up the listings seem to care - so in our books any advantage of size was gone.
Min also lives in the bay area - which means she lives and breathes the area - it also meant she was able to make herself available at minimal notice - something none of the other agents could offer.
We also felt that Min Sarginson Real Estate truly offered the total package.... from regular meetings and updates on your property, comprehensive marketing strategies, competitive fees, 2 sets of premises in the area, strong advertising, use of websites etc...
Min put alot of energy and effort into selling our place and for that, we are eternally greatful ! The BEST thing was that you were always kept up to date regarding what was happening. Within literally minutes of a meeting with a buyer, we would receive a phone call updating us. We have never experienced anything as good as this when we have sold other properties. As a seller - you will know just how much this means.
If you are wanting a ‘personal touch’ by a company that cares, then we would not hesitate to recommend Min Sarginson Real Estate. She took as much stress as possible out of the house selling business.

Thanks Min !!

Dear Min,
I just wanted to put down in writing our thanks to you for the very solid job you did in selling No.5 Mariners Cove for us.
Within three weeks of being instructed you advertised it, marketed it, carried out numerous viewings and got an acceptable offer, which as you know completed very rapidly. And you were around personally at all hours of the day and night to accomplish the task.
That’s brilliant professional service and our grateful thanks to you.

With best wishes

Martin Brown

We chose Min Sarginson Real Estate to sell our home on the recommendation of a friend and although our home was not within their normal area of expertise we were very happy with the service we were given by them. We were kept informed at all times of what was happening and were very happy with the result.
