A brief history

CHURCH BAY
Established in 1998, this was the beginning of what has become the most successful real estate company operating in the Harbour Basin.  Two of our salespeople work from here covering the South side of the Harbour and beyond to the Little River area and Ellesmere areas dealing in homes and lifestyle blocks.

If it's for sale our people will be there.

LYTTELTON
Established at the end of 2001 this was an obvious expansion to cover properties for sale on the North side of the Harbour including Lyttelton and Cass Bay and to continue the service of finding and selling homes we had already offered in Governors Bay.  This office has grown the service we have been able to offer in Lyttelton and we are currently expanding that service into Heathcote, Brighton and Sumner areas.

Phil Alexander is our Manager at Lyttelton.  Phil has a long career in real estate behind him involving commercial and industrial specialities as well as residential  homes and properties and property management.

If it's for sale our people will be there

SOUTHSHORE                                                                                                                     

 Our Southshore properties are well looked after by our sales people from our Lyttelton office. From Southshore to Northshore call our people today and they will have you on the market with a mimimum of fuss. It's what they do best.

If it's for sale, whether homes or vacant land, beachfront or elsewhere, rental properties or homes for sale, our people will be there.

BEACHFRONT REAL ESTATE FOR SALE

Beachfront properties have become a much desired commodity in recent years in New Zealand.  Not just as holiday properties but as places of permanent residence.  Our company has access to these special properties for sale.  As a lifestyle beachfront is the ultimate for many...to have the sea shore as close as it can be to your front door. This market is driven by not just by immigrants but by New Zealanders who realise how lucky they are.

If it's for sale our people will be there.

Property Management

Having a good Property Manager is like having adequate insurance.  On a normal day to day basis you can forget all about it but when things go sour you will be very pleased you have it. 

Legislation surrounding residential tenancies has grown in recent years and one needs a full knowledge and understanding of the detail of that legislation and how it works. Having a property fully managed by a professional protects your assets and takes away those jobs which interfere with your own job or worse your own free time when you would rather be out on your bike than pouring over the yellow pages for a tradesperson.

We can offer you a full management service which will take away the day to day stresses of being a landlord yet keep you fully informed of maintenance needs and helping the value of your asset to grow.

Call our people today to discuss the professional management of your property assets.

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.

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.
