Still as passionate about selling Real Estate today, as I was at the start of my career in 2004.

#1 Total Realty Indv. Agent 2024

Russell Hume – Trusted, Proven, Results-Driven.

Executive Home and Lifestyle Property Specialist

#1 Total Individual Salesperson 2024

Selling your home is a major decision, and having the right agent by your side makes all the difference. With over 20 years of experience, 15 of those with Total Realty, I combine strategy, market expertise, and genuine commitment to deliver results.

I live and work in North Canterbury and specialise in this beautiful region. I also regularly assist clients across Christchurch’s northwestern suburbs—an area I’ve proudly served for over two decades.

Backed by Total Realty’s full-service marketing and low-fee structure, I provide premium service without the premium price tag. More money in your pocket, without cutting corners.

My marketing expertise and proven negotiation skills have resulted in over 1,800 successful sales and a verified $319 million in property transactions through Total Realty alone.

When discretion matters, I arrive in an unmarked vehicle for appraisals—but when it’s time to go to market, my branded van ensures your home gets noticed.

A large portion of my business comes from repeat and referral clients, and I’m incredibly grateful for the trust they continue to place in me. It’s a reflection of the consistent results I deliver.

Thinking of selling? Let’s have a no-obligation chat about how I can help you achieve the best outcome. Call, email, or message me today.

Working with me includes:

Professional photography including drone

Scaled floor plan of your home

Comprehensive Internet marketing

Free adverts in the Northern Outlook

Weekly open homes and private viewings

Eye catching sign written van at open homes to pinpoint the open home.

My service guarantee

And our very fair selling fee!

Testimonials

"Our experience selling with Total Realty could not have been easier nor less stressful. At all times, the communication, professionalism, and efficiency was excellent - in fact surpassing our previous experiences with other real estate agencies. The sale itself was fast, easy, and a result we are very happy with. Overall, a most efficient and easy sale with an agent that made the whole experience stress free."

"Russell is an exceptional agent. A straight shooter who is all about the vendor. I never felt like a pay check and at all times I felt Russell was in my corner ready to help. Apart from the services you expect from a Real Estate Agent Russell many times exceeded my expectations. When my vacuum cleaner broker Russell would drive across town to lend me his personal vacuum cleaner, not just once but for the whole duration of my open homes. If I was ever running late for my open home Russell was there helping with mopping the kitchen or vacuuming the floors. I did not have to ask, he just volunteered. Even on moving day Russell pitched in to help me load furniture onto the trailer. So in short I am blown away by my experience. Would use Russell again in a heartbeat."
