Beckenham Auction ... My husband and I recently appointed Deb Murfin and Paul Middleditch from Harcourts to sell our property at 33A Sandwich Road, Beckenham, Christchurch.  Our family which consisted of two young children and one on the way, left Christchurch city on the night of February 22nd, after the second major earthquake.  As we had only resided in Christchurch for two years and all our family, friends and employment were back in Palmerston North our home town, we decided to relocate.  As you can imagine this was a very trying time for our family being uprooted without any prior warning and after a few months up north we decided there was no option but to sell our Christchurch property (one that we loved and had fond family memories of).  It was a time of stress and financial hardship for us, however as soon as I handed the job over to Deb and Paul, I felt a huge relief as they were both so professional, organised and understanding of our situation.  I was amazed at how they got straight to work, planning how to achieve the best results for us and after an informed phone meeting we decided to list the property for Auction.  The whole pre-auction Marketing was faultless, Deb and Paul worked very well together and both knew exactly where the other stood in what needed to be done and although they came across several obstacles in reference to the tenants occupying the property, they were at all times extremely professional and patient and worked together to rectify any problems along the way.  We were always so well informed as to the progress they were making in regards to potential purchasers or any other issues and through phone texting and phone calls daily I felt I was kept in the loop the whole way.   Deb and Paul managed to find a potential purchaser within days of the property going to market and respected every decision we made when the contract was offered to us.  After the property was sold their services did not end here but continued right through to settlement date and beyond.  They were both very helpful in guiding us through every process in order to see there were no hick ups on settlement day.

We would thoroughly recommend this fantastic real estate team - and having myself worked in a real estate company as office manager for several years am amazed at their organisation and professionalism.    If you want your house sold with caring, real people then these are the people to call.   Kirstie and Pierre De Roles

This is from a letter from a relative of an elderly client of mine... Dear Paul, I am writing to thank you for the successful sale of my aunt's property. Thank you for being so pleasant and considerate at all times, making the transition to a studio unit much easier for her. We wish you well in your endeavours this year. In appreciation, PaulineThis is a testimonial from a loyal client of mine... Paul has been instrumental in helping me sell my property and then buying a new one. His hard work and professionalism is well complemented by his relaxed approach and sense of humour. From day one, he was amenable in developing an appropriate marketing package. he photographed and helped present the house extremely well and then organised and ran the open homes in an unobtrusive but effective manner. He was consistent in giving feedback on progress and was always available and open to discuss marketing strategies. I was very satisfied with the price I got for the house. Paul then worked in with other agents in finding my next house. he contacted vendors and scheduled properties to look at. He was always professional and supportive in helping me define and find what I wanted. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone buying or selling their house. Dave (St Albans)

This family came to me after I sold a neighbouring property ... I am writing this letter to thank you for the wonderful job that we experienced with Paul Middleditch. We had a very bad experience with the sale of our property through Ray White, who could not sell our house within 3 months. It was Paul who successfully sold our property within 10 days at a premium price! Paul is confident, warm and good at using his professional knowledge to market our property and to negotiate with our purchaser. he had good knowledge of the local area and always kept in regular contact with us. We are very happy with the wonderful job that Paul has provided for us. We cannot thank Paul enough. We will always recommend him. If you would like to sell your property, I strongly suggest you choose Paul. he will help achieve the highest price for your property. Sincerely yours, Brooke & Michael Philpott

Burnside Auction and another loyal client... Dear Paul, I have used your services as a real estate agent twice in the last one and a half years and have been extremely pleased in both instances. The first time I was a purchaser and appreciated your interest and support and the way you didn't pressure me at all. The second time you sold my mothers home by auction. It was important for my brother and I to secure a sale as my mother had moved into a rest home. you suggested going to auction and doing a full advertising plan. We were a little nervous about this, but we decided to 'give it a go' and do the whole package. The result was amazing- I think there were 4-5 bidders at the auction, and in todays depressed market the auctioneer was able to secure a very good price for us. It was certainly worth taking your advice and as my brother commented to me: "We made a very good choice in using Paul." I believe that one of your key skills, Paul, is that you have the unique combination of being able to put prospective purchasers at ease and give them a sense of space so they can make their own decisions, while at the same time you work exceptionally hard for the seller. This way of working is of benefit to both the purchaser and the seller. So thank you, Paul for your excellent assistance and I would not hesitate to ask you to act for me again in the future. Kindest regards, Clare Ansley
