The right move

Award-winning real estate agent Michael Calder has launched Calder and Co. Residential, a new independent real estate agency in Christchurch with a love of the garden city and a close eye on the local market.

The team at Calder and Co understands that getting to know the individual needs of buyers and sellers alike is the key to success. “It’s less about the price point and more about the motivations for a move and what each buyer or seller is wanting to achieve,” says Michael Calder, brand owner and residential specialist at Calder and Co. Residential. “We focus on helping our clients to reach their lifestyle goals.”

Michael says many of their clients come to them from referrals and open homes where they have come to trust the open and honest discussions about what to expect. “We tell people how it is. We’re not brash, just presenting the facts,” says Michael.

“We want to be on the shopping list next to the top-tier agencies in Christchurch but deliver a more personalised level of service and a more dedicated commitment to each campaign, all for a fairer fee.”

In the current Christchurch market around 50 to 60 percent of homes are selling on auction day. “Homes are still achieving good prices; they’re just taking up to five weeks to sell, and some go by negotiation after the auction,” says Michael.

While the market may have slowed a bit, Michael still recommends listing homes by auction. He also encourages conditional buyers to come to an auction, in case their dream home is passed in, with potential for negotiation.

Calder and Co takes pride in delivering on every situation and getting the deal done,” says Michael. “We’re end-to-end real estate advisors and negotiators, from buying to selling, renovating and building off the plan.”

“We’re professional and with you the entire way. And while we love Christchurch property, achieving the best outcome for your situation is our motivation.”

Michael has personally netted well over 100 house sales since 2015, and with his team at the Calder and Co. Residential offices on the prestigious Victoria Street in central Christchurch, is well-positioned for a top local independent real estate agency.

“Whether I’m selling a multi-million-dollar residence, a one-bedroom apartment, character bungalow, or brand-new development, all properties are given the very best of the Calder and Co. Residential experience.”
