St Albans

Who is the best real estate agent in St Albans?

Ray White Innes Road is a strong choice for St Albans sellers who want a well-prepared home, clear property information and a campaign designed to help buyers reach a decision. Our salespeople bring experience across real estate, project coordination, design, business ownership and customer service. That gives you a choice of strengths and working styles to match your property and plans.

A good introduction should lead to a clear proposal: the evidence behind the appraisal, the buyers the campaign should reach and the preparation that deserves your time and budget. Our team offers different perspectives on those decisions.

Make presentation and property information work together

Buyers need to see the appeal of the home and understand the practical details of ownership. The layout, light, outdoor space and parking form part of the presentation. Title, access, alterations and available repair records help a serious buyer decide whether to proceed. Bringing those elements together early gives the campaign a stronger foundation.

Teela Cleghorn holds an Interior Design diploma and combines that creative training with a sales and customer-service background. She brings a focus on first impressions, attention to detail and keeping clients informed. Charlotte Deam holds a Diploma in Film and Television and has lived in Christchurch for most of her life. Her work across creative industries, hospitality and administration brings an interest in how a property’s story is presented, alongside organised coordination behind the scenes.

Tamai Curry worked in the building industry before real estate and brings practical construction knowledge and a people-focused approach to the preparation discussion. Christy Foo has a property and project-management background, including work for multinational companies in Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam before moving to New Zealand in 2014. These are useful perspectives when planning the sale information and the work needed before launch. Legal and building assessments remain with the relevant independent specialists.

Keep buyers engaged and decisions clear

A campaign needs more than initial attention. Responsive enquiries, follow-up after viewings and useful feedback help you understand where buyers stand and what to do next. Brian Shin began his Ray White career in 2013. His approach emphasises clear, respectful communication and completing work on time, strengths that matter when enquiries, deadlines and negotiations overlap.

Benny Jiang joined Ray White Next Step in 2010 and offers Mandarin and Cantonese communication alongside his Christchurch real estate experience. Christy also speaks English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese. Multilingual communication gives you further choice in how property information and buyer questions can be handled clearly.

Anna Tomasi has worked in real estate since 2006, with experience across sales, administration and property management. She brings a relaxed professional manner and an understanding of the industry’s changing markets. Keenan Soa combines a sales background with the discipline and teamwork he draws from rugby, describing a calm, considered approach that puts people first. Their profiles offer different starting points for choosing the day-to-day relationship you want.

Choose support that fits the move you are making

Selling can involve a purchase, a family change or decisions about a property you have owned for many years. The salesperson needs to understand those circumstances as well as the home. Elpi Lakakis brings more than 40 years in hospitality and experience running Christchurch businesses with her husband. Listening and understanding her clients are central to the personal service she offers.

Aneta Turay settled in Christchurch in 2016 and bought her own first home in 2023. Before real estate, she ran a beauty-industry business, developing customer-care, presentation and listening skills. Her own buying experience adds a personal perspective on the questions and emotions a buyer can bring to your sale. Bronwyn Hird brings a high-energy, positive approach and a focus on personalised service, giving sellers another choice of working style.

Phillipa Gill has worked as both salesperson and manager. Her down-to-earth manner, sense of humour and communication focus are part of the relationship she offers through negotiations. Selling principal and company Sales Director Jeff Poulter brings more than 30 years of real estate sales experience and supports salespeople across Next Step. Explore their individual profiles alongside client feedback to put experience and approach together.

Turn your choice into a property-specific plan

Meet your preferred salesperson at the property and talk through the evidence behind the appraisal. For a home with shared access, alterations or repair history, agree how the available information will be organised and which questions need your lawyer or other advisers. The campaign should make your particular property clear to buyers, rather than relying on a suburb-wide description or average.

Agree who will handle viewings and buyer follow-up, when you will receive campaign feedback and how offers will be considered. If you are coordinating another purchase, an estate sale or a tenanted property, bring the timing and access requirements into that discussion early. Our seller guide explains the costs and decisions from appraisal to settlement; the marketing overview and sale-method comparison help you assess the proposed campaign.
