Testimonials PA, Divena Busby with Chris Batchelor

“Sara and I found Chris Batchelor to be extremely professional, friendly and easy to work with. We felt safe in his hands and supported right through the process. He kept us informed every step of the way and made the whole experience a pleasure.”Craig Hall, Kingsland

“Chris was such a positive salesperson to work with. He obviously loves his work and enjoys selling property. He has a great support team which enables him to get on and do the job he likes to do. Chris is a clear communicator, enthusiastic and was available to answer all the questions we had as ‘rookies’ to the property market. He was willing to give us the time and space we needed to think through his advice and I feel he remained committed to selling our property throughout the process.” Helen and Mark, Western Springs

“We were delighted with our decision to select Chris to sell our Grey Lynn villa. From start to finish, Chris was, professional, efficient and always happy to work around our busy schedules. He was careful to explain the marketing and sale process, and provided some incisive thinking for our sale strategy. Chris has a wealth of experience in the very competitive Ponsonby/Grey Lynn market, and he was able to draw on that experience to help us make a number of important decisions throughout the campaign; we felt very confident with Chris’s strategic advice. He is well connected and engages easily with buyers - we were sure that we would be well-represented at open homes. We felt the whole marketing and sales campaign was well-run, and resulted in an excellent outcome: both the number of bidders, and sale price achieved. We would have no hesitation in recommending Chris to other home owners thinking of selling.”Chris and Francelle, Grey Lynn

people with such huge decisions at a critical point in their lives. It’s a privilege and an honour that I take very seriously.” His business has doubled every year since starting out in 2010 and his success continues to thrive.
