Direct Property Buyers is a Christchurch business that buys houses directly from owners, rather than listing them with an agent. It is at 1025 Ferry Road in Phillipstown. The business says it buys properties in any condition and in any location, at a fair price, with no commission, no open homes and no agent fees. The process starts with a form or a phone call, and the business says it will reply within 24 hours. A property inspection gives an exact figure, and then the owner receives an offer that can be accepted or declined. If a property does not suit the buyers' criteria, the business says it can suggest another way to sell. The business is owned by Glen and Louis, two local Cantabrians with more than 40 years of combined property experience, and it has operated since 2017. The free phone number is 0800 810 810.
Customers say the sale was easy and stress-free, and that the owners were friendly and quick. One sold a rental privately to the business, and another has sold two properties to it. A third says the owners take the stress out of contracts, finance and builders' work, and offer a fair price for a quick, hassle-free sale. The listing shows eleven other real estate businesses within one kilometre, but the nearest ones are agencies rather than direct buyers. For a home owner in Christchurch who wants a fast sale without showings, this is the kind of service the business offers.
