Courtney's path to real estate wasn't a direct one. Her career began in Christchurch's media sector before taking her to luxury fashion in London — experience she credits with broadening her perspective and sharpening her eye for presentation. She also holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in marketing and management, a combination that shows up in how she approaches positioning a property and building a sale campaign around it.
Courtney describes her approach as calm, committed and client-focused, built on clear communication and an organised process. She works with clients across the full range of property transactions — from first-time buyers taking their initial steps onto the ladder, through to families making significant moves. Her aim, as she puts it, isn't just to sell a property, but to sell it for the best possible price.
For vendors considering selling, the process starts with a free property appraisal. Courtney visits the property in person and provides a detailed comparative market analysis, drawing on nearby recent sales and current listings, along with additional data to help vendors understand present market activity. From there, she talks through the best method of sale — including auction campaigns — and builds a marketing strategy suited to the property and the market conditions at the time.
For those simply curious about their property's value, an instant property report is also available, pulling price estimates and past sales data from REINZ, New Zealand's real estate data provider.
Courtney's recent sales span a wide geographic spread — from Halswell itself to Rolleston, Addington, Mount Pleasant, Ilam and St Albans — covering everything from compact rear units to larger family homes with multiple bedrooms and garaging. This range reflects a consultant comfortable working across different property types and price points, rather than specialising narrowly in one kind of sale.
Courtney's client reviews, verified by RateMyAgent, consistently highlight her communication and marketing. One buyer described her as "delightful to work with," praising how well-informed they were kept throughout the purchase. A vendor selling through auction noted that Courtney "presented the house well, highlighting many of its features," achieving a strong result even in a tough market. Another vendor pointed specifically to the strength of her marketing, noting "incredible numbers through our Open Homes," while a first-time buyer credited her quick responses and personable approach with taking much of the stress out of their purchase.
For anyone considering a sale, Courtney recommends booking a free appraisal as the first step — a no-pressure way to understand a property's value and options before deciding on a marketing approach or sale method. She can be reached directly by phone or through Harcourts Halswell to arrange a time.
