For a Shirley seller, the right agent combines a convincing plan for the home with the experience and working style to carry it through. Ray White Innes Road offers a choice of salespeople whose strengths include presentation, multilingual communication, business ownership and real estate sales. That breadth helps you choose the person and campaign that fit your property, rather than settling for a standard approach.
Benny Jiang joined Ray White Next Step in 2010. He combines Christchurch real estate experience with Mandarin and Cantonese communication and was a Ray White New Zealand Executive Member in 2024/2025. His background gives sellers an established sales career and another way to connect clearly with buyers.
Brian Shin began his Ray White career in 2013 and has made Christchurch home since 2003. His emphasis on clear communication, respect and getting work completed on time is relevant to the practical demands of a campaign: keeping enquiries moving, explaining feedback and following through on the next action.
Selling principal and company Sales Director Jeff Poulter brings more than 30 years of real estate sales experience. Phillipa Gill has worked as both salesperson and manager and brings a down-to-earth manner and strong communication focus. Their different roles and experience give you further choices when deciding who you want alongside you through the sale.
A Shirley campaign should explain the features of the individual address: how the living spaces connect, what the outdoor areas offer, the parking and storage, and the information available about the home. The presentation and documents need to work together so a buyer can move from initial interest to a well-informed offer.
Teela Cleghorn brings an Interior Design diploma and sales/customer-service experience to the presentation discussion. Charlotte Deam draws on film, television, hospitality and administration, with an interest in presentation and organised communication. Tamai Curry brings building-industry experience and a practical interest in homes. These backgrounds offer different perspectives on preparation; independent building and legal advice remains part of the property-check process where needed.
Buyer conversations and seller updates are part of the same job: helping people understand the property and the decisions ahead. Christy Foo combines property and project-management experience with English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese. Her background adds another communication choice for your campaign.
Elpi Lakakis brings more than 40 years in hospitality, including running Costas Souvlaki Bar and Costas Taverna with her husband. Her approach centres on listening and understanding the people behind the move, alongside real estate recognition as a Premier Performer in 2024/2025. That personal and business experience is part of the case she brings to a seller.
Anna Tomasi combines sales, administration and property-industry experience with a relaxed professional manner. Aneta Turay draws on business ownership, customer care and her own first-home buying experience. Keenan Soa describes a calm, people-first approach shaped by sales and rugby’s teamwork. Bronwyn Hird brings energy and a positive, personal approach. Explore their profiles to choose the relationship that feels right for your sale.
The appraisal should connect recent comparable sales with the condition, title, land and improvements of your property. The proposed preparation, marketing and method of sale should then follow from that evidence and your timing.
Agree who will manage viewings, follow up enquiries and negotiate offers, and how you will receive campaign feedback. Our seller guide explains the preparation, costs and decisions from appraisal to settlement. Client feedback gives you another perspective on individual service.
