Trust in Trish is a real estate agent in Linwood, an older suburb in east Christchurch with many weatherboard and brick homes close to the city centre. Selling a house here usually depends on knowing the local streets and what similar homes have sold for nearby, so local knowledge matters on price and timing. Linwood's buyers are often first home buyers and families looking for a sound house on a manageable section, and an agent who works the area day to day can speak to that market directly.
