Leading Australasian real estate group Raine & Horne continues its impressive expansion into Christchurch with new offices in Halswell, Wigram, Bishopdale, Fendalton and another office covering northern eastern and eastern suburbs such as Parklands, New Brighton, Shirley, Burwood, and semi-rural Marshlands on the northside of the city. The five offices proudly showcase Raine & Horne’s iconic handcrafted gold ampersand logo alongside the sleek charcoal and white colour scheme.

This expansion follows the recent transition of several other Christchurch offices in Cashmere, Papanui, Burnside/Harewood, Avonhead, and Northwood. The 141-year-old real estate powerhouse launched in New Zealand in April 2023 and now operates in over 60 locations across Aotearoa.

Moreover, the super brand’s rapid expansion has strategically coincided with improved property market performance. Realestate.co.nz reports that Canterbury property values are gaining momentum with annual growth of 4.9%, following a 3.1% month-on-month increase in September[i].

Covering areas to the east, northeast and north of the city is Raine & Horne Parklands/New Brighton/Shirley/Burwood/Marshlands, led by the dynamic duo of sales and management expert Tina Lawson and sales whiz Nick McIsaac-Luke. Together, the award-winning team of Tina and Nick are known for their exceptional negotiation skills, unwavering integrity, and sharp wit, making them the ultimate allies for their clients in this dynamic real estate market.

Halswell, located 9 kilometres southwest of Cathedral Square, is one of Christchurch’s fastest-growing suburbs and is now expertly served by Raine & Horne Halswell, led by Alistair Brown. A Christchurch native, Alistair has sold property all over the Garden City. He believes that success in real estate, especially in a challenging market, comes from a strong work ethic, commitment, and excellent communication skills.

In the thriving growth hub of Wigram, Gray Gong is at the helm of Raine & Horne Wigram. With a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Canterbury University and experience in real estate since 2014, Gray has a solid track record of securing favourable outcomes for his clients while consistently safeguarding their best interests.

Ideally situated near Christchurch International Airport in Harewood and New Zealand’s only open-range zoo, Orana Wildlife Park, it’s only fitting that the local Bishopdale property market is served by the supercharged team at Raine & Horne Bishopdale led by Cathy and Ian Falconer. Sale whiz Ian’s exceptional negotiation skills and ability to understand people from all walks of life make him an invaluable asset in securing the best outcomes. Paired with Cathy’s excellent administration and customer service, this is a team that locals in Bishopdale want by their side when the time arrives to sell a property.
