"Initially we intended to use Braziers as property managers as we were leaving Christchurch, however the Quakes interrupted our plans. Rather than take back management Braziers were doing such a stirling job that we didn't even consider taking over again. Having weathered the quakes, we can wholeheartedly recommend Brazier to anyone that wants top notch property management, with great communication and an eye towards care of the properties. We look forward to Brazier managing our properties for many years to come."
Bevan and Sarika Anderson (Managers and happy absentee landlords)
"Braziers have made the day to day management of owning a rental property hassle free. Life is busy enough with looking after your own property so to be able to have Braziers looking after your investment with care and professionalism allows you to have more time for other things! The fact that Braziers are up to date with landlord/tenant responsibilities also gives peace of mind, knowing that you are doing the right thing for the tenants."
Julie and Reuben Casey (Stress-free Landlords)
"In building and managing our property portfolio we sought companies that place value in people, integrity, professionalism, information (knowledge) and attention to detail. In Braziers Property Investments and Braziers Property Management we found an organisation that excelled in these attributes and others besides. We have been clients since 1999 and simply have had no reason to go elsewhere. Thanks to all the team at Braziers for their on-going support."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Graeme's manner and expertise. We were selling on behalf of our elderly mum who had just gone into care.
Graeme gained our trust and confidence immediately and was more than happy to work with family out of town.
Graeme obviously enjoys people and is dedicated to working toward the best outcome for all. He offered sound advice and gave his honest opinion as to how to best prepare the house for sale. He was very thorough and could be relied upon to always follow through. This was a real relief at a busy and stressful time.
The house sold for a great price within a few days with no surprises or costly delays. A wonderful outcome!"

He is a great communicator and kept us informed and up to date on what was happening with the sale of property. His friendly and engaging manner is appreciated and makes him very easy to deal with. All the properties he has sold for me including the most recent have sold quite promptly and this is because Graeme has amazing follow through with interested clients and always makes you feel like you are a priority, despite his busy workload. Thank you Graeme, it has been a pleasure to work with you again."

We find her very professional, pleasant to work with and knowledgeable, always giving an honest opinion. Where ever possible we will use Rebecca and can thoroughly recommend her for all Real Estate enquiries."

"Rebecca, You were amazing to work with in the sale of our property. You exceeded all our expectations going above and beyond what could be expected. When we had difficulties with the sale you worked tirelessly with us and the purchaser ensuring that we all were satisfied with the outcome. Rebecca was always communicating with us as to how the sale was progressing and ensured that we were given sound advice. We would have no issues with recommending Rebecca to anyone who was wanting to buy or sell a property. If in the future we want to purchase or sell another property we would not hesitate to do so with Rebecca. We wish you all the best for the future Rebecca"

"About my experiences with Rebecca; while still keeping in mind potential for problems, she progressed my sale with timely actions, and managed all technical difficulties due to geographical distances with both myself and others needed for legal documents required for the sale and purchase. She liaised with lawyers and others including purchasers and myself as needed without making anything unduly complicated or difficult and would use her again for a sale and I have no problem recommending Rebecca to others who wish to sell their properties."
J P Clifford
"Rebecca Manawatu is a genuinely helpful and easy to work with professional with near 20 years’ experience. Her manner is super easy to get on with and lots of helpful knowledge in the industry. In particular we appreciate her suggestions without feeling "pushed". We would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca to prospective buyer or seller of property."
T & P McGrath
"Rebecca was very helpful and understanding throughout the process. Being first home buyers, we didn't know the process however she made it easy for us by being available and approachable. One of Rebecca's strengths was communication, she kept everyone informed of good and bad and was transparent throughout the process. Rebecca was consistent, understanding, able to manage emotions and helpful throughout the process. She is positive and helpful and sometimes sellers and buyers need to get that positive message from their agent. In addition, Rebecca has some good technical building knowledge or at least can speak the language."
A Rastini
"Rebecca is down to earth and easy to deal with, she has a lot of knowledge of the real estate sale process. I had a building issue with the sale of my property. Rebecca was able to deal with the process for me and her help made a very stressful situation much easier to cope with. I would recommend her to others. She is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I would use her services again."
N Earle
"Rebecca and the team at Braziers are the best agents I have had the pleasure of working with in Christchurch. Their in-depth knowledge of investment properties, cap rates and what is happening the market is unparalleled in the City. Often with agents you feel like there is a hidden agenda this is not the case with Rebecca she is open, realistic and transparent. I feel like these are qualities that are hard to find in an agent. I would recommend Rebecca and Braziers to anyone looking to purchase their home or an investment property. I look forward to working with them again in the future.""
