BRANCH MANAGER – MERIVALE<br />

What’s the highest price you’ve sold a<br />

home for?<br />

When I started my career in real estate nearly 22<br />

years ago, it was a really big deal to see a house<br />

sell over $1 million. It’s very different today! In<br />

excess of $2m is not uncommon and here at<br />

Holmwood we were recently involved in the sale<br />

of Christchurch’s record-breaking (so far) sale of a<br />

residential property at over $6m.<br />

Would you rather buy a brand new home<br />

or something that needs TLC?<br />

There are benefits in both. Everyone loves the idea<br />

of brand new, but a house needing some work can<br />

be an exciting challenge. It is possible to add value<br />

and increase your equity in a property if you have<br />

the flair and skill to create some ‘magic’!<br />

BRANCH MANAGER – FENDALTON<br />

What three words describe a successful real estate consultant?<br />

Intelligent, energetic, hardworking.<br />

How do you keep your team motivated?<br />

I don’t, my team are self-motivated – another essential component of<br />

being a successful real estate consultant.<br />

SALES MANAGER – ST ALBANS<br />

Are there any suburbs in Christchurch that investors should<br />

be keeping an eye on?<br />

With the emerging central city I think we could see some real opportunity<br />

in city living, and neighbouring suburbs, over the next few years!<br />

If you could live anywhere in New Zealand, where would it be?<br />

Christchurch, of course!<br />
