Michael Chan is a real estate agent based at 471 Papanui Road in Papanui, Christchurch, holding a 5.0 Google rating, with his sales history and client reviews available to check on RateMyAgent.
In real estate, the gap between agents shows most clearly at the appraisal. A good one arrives with recent comparable sales from your own suburb, an honest estimate rather than the highest number, and a clear plan for presenting and marketing the home. It pays to meet two or three before deciding, asking what marketing costs, how commission is structured, and how they reach the buyers most suited to your street. In Christchurch, where sale by negotiation remains the norm and auctions are used more selectively than further north, an agent's feel for local buyer behaviour counts for a lot.
Working from Papanui Road itself puts Michael Chan in the middle of the neighbourhood any local agent would want to know street by street.
