Testimonials

"To whom it may concern, I have recently sold five of my commercial properties in Christchurch through Oliver Salt and Christian Kellar of Colliers International. Oliver and Christian have significant experience in the industrial area and I found their market knowledge and advice in the early stages of communication to be very helpful; as in any commercial marketing campaign there are always changes. Oliver and Christian always had the answers and made my job extremely easy to sort out. They had a friendly and no pressure approach which led to me entering a sole agency agreement to sell my properties. Whilst preparing to take the properties to market, I found them both very enthusiastic and professional in their work. Colliers produced marketing material that was professional and produced strong enquiry for the properties. During the marketing process, I was continually kept updated with feedback from prospective purchasers and was provided with weekly written marketing reports. All five properties were sold in the auction room and levels much higher than expected. I personally found the auction process fantastic and it was great to get unconditional sales on the day. This process was made easy and straight forward by Oliver and Christian. I would highly recommend them to any prospective vendor considering a sales campaign for their property. I would be happy to provide further information if required. Yours Sincerely, Shirley Plowman-Grant"
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, Oliver Salt, an industrial broker at Colliers in Christchurch, gave me excellent advice when I recently sold a vacant property in Wairakei Road. I had originally planned to lease the 700sq m building but, after discussing my situation with Oliver, we decided the better alternative was to sell. It was a big decision, having owned the building for more than 30 years. The outcome was excellent. Sold by Deadline Private Treaty, the property attracted seven offers. As Oliver had indicated, there was strong demand from owner occupiers. I am extremely happy with the result and would highly recommend Oliver. He kept me fully informed throughout the process; his communication was excellent and he was thoroughly professional -as well as being very pleasant to deal with. Regards Pat Grant"
