A Papanui agency with 15 years of Christchurch sales behind it, ATTIA works through each sale in set steps. It starts with a meeting to learn what the owner wants, then a property evaluation that looks at location, size, condition, comparable sales and market trends, and ends in a written report with an estimated value and a marketing plan. The owner signs off all marketing drafts and photos before anything goes live. The agency also offers styling advice, prepares an information pack before the listing opens, and takes the sale through to an unconditional sale, pre-settlement inspections and key exchange on handover day. Its licensed agents also help buyers and investors, not only sellers.
The office sits at 62 Langdons Road, a short drive from the Papanui centre. Within a kilometre of it there are nine other real estate listings, including Ray White Papanui and Harcourts Gold, which sits 0.9 km away with 652 reviews at 4.9, the same rating ATTIA holds. Property in Papanui tends to be sold by people who have lived in the area for years, so a local office that knows the streets, the schools and the recent sales carries weight in a sale. Our pick in Papanui for owners who want the process laid out before they sign.
