Testimonials

We were very happy with the professionalism of our sales consultant and the Brazier Property Investment team. They were approachable and always very responsive to any needs and questions we had. We would recommend them as specialists in property investment with pleasure.

Anne and Chris Wildey (Property Investors)

We recently bought an investment property through Braziers and were very impressed with the professionalism of our sales consultant. Braziers understood our needs and sourced a suitable property for us before it came onto the market. We will be utilising Brazier's services in the future.

Rob & Jeni Ashman (Private Investors)

Braziers constantly stayed in touch with us throughout the whole process. Perhaps most importantly, they provided sound unbiased advice and guidance with regards to our property investment. We would thoroughly recommend Braziers to anyone looking to invest or purchase a property in the future.

Alan Collins

I have used Brazier Properties for the past 10years and have always been more than impressed with the services of their friendly and approachable sales consultants. I have found that Braziers provide a no-hassle transaction with easy communication throughout the whole process. Braziers and the selling team are a pleasure to deal with.

Vicki Smith

We would like to thank our sales consultant formally for the wonderful job she did selling our property. Prior to listing with Braziers we employed one of the supposedly leading real estate firms in Christchurch. Unfortunately the formulaic approach taken by this agent did not meet the needs of our unique property.

Thank goodness we met the team at Braziers!! The market research and marketing strategy they employed was thorough and had flare, freshness and creativity, and our agent never stopped believing she would find someone who loved our property as much as we did.

As we live in Hong Kong we relied on our agent to keep us updated regularly and to present our property in the best possible light. Our sales agent at Braziers performed way beyond our expectations and went that extra mile by lighting fires, providing afternoon teas and live music to create the right ambience during open days. Braziers communicated with us regularly and was incredibly easy to relate to.

At all times through out the sales process Braziers demonstrated enthusiasm, commitment, professionalism and tenacity. You couldn't ask for anything more!

We recommend Braziers highly and would not hesitate to employ their services again.

Brendan and Kathy Oliver-Kerby

Over the past three years my husband and I have worked with our Braziers consultant to sell two sections. Our sales consultant was a straight shooter who tells you like it is and is extremely efficient. They were able to sort the 'wheat from the chaff' when working with purchasers to present us with realistic offers, right from the start. The team at Braziers provided us with good feedback all the way through the process, to enable us to get the best price possible from the purchaser.

I will continue to work with Braziers to sell future properties. If you're looking for a no nonsense approach with someone who knows the property market well and can get you the best price possible then call Braziers.

Jo Ferguson (Business Performance Coach)

Brazier’s honest and straight-up professional manner was something that we really appreciated. Our sales consultant talked us through the process and advised us of the right time to sell, which we followed and reaped the benefits of his advice. I will certainly return to Braziers.

Paul Collings (Branch Manager)

I was very impressed with my sales consultant and the Brazier Property Investment team. They were very prompt and responded to any questions or queries I had and were always great communicators. I would definitely recommend Braziers to anyone looking to purchase or invest in a property.

Hamish Douch (Solicitor)

I found my sales consultant and Braziers very professional, and a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole transaction. If buying or selling in the future it is likely I will want to use my Braziers sales consultant to market or purchase a property and recommend Braziers and the selling team”.

Stephen Dyer (Company Director)

I found Braziers a pleasure to deal with. They were excellent throughout the whole process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I will continue to use them in the future, and would recommend them to other property investors and purchasers.

Rob Karaitana

I recently decided to sell my home in Woodend, North Canterbury, and was recommended to choose Brazier Property Investments. This I duly did and signed a contract with Braziers and one of their sales consultants. The listing period was for 60 days and during that time I must commend Braziers on their attention to detail regarding marketing strategy for this property, their attentiveness to my request and opinions and the delightful way they treated my wife and I, and their clients during inspections of my home.

The resulting outcome was a very positive cash sale within the prescribed period. I would therefore highly recommend Braziers to any prospective property purchaser or seller.

Ian Brooklands

As a client of Braziers I have had a number of transactions both buying and, most recently, selling. I have found Braziers to be very professional and found it reassuring to deal with people who have a good understanding of investment property. I recently sold a property in a difficult market, however I was happy with the price achieved and the whole process went very smoothly.

The Brazier Property Management division have also managed my property for about 5 years and I have found vacancies have been low, tenant’s happy and good communication when it comes time to get the cheque book out.

Hamish Galletly

As a young investor, I bought my first investment property from Braziers, over a period of 3 years by working alongside their sales consultants. I have not only created a property profile worth over a million dollars but was also able to use some of the profit from property trading to acquire a cafe business. The Braziers agents have a great deal of knowledge of property investment and their creative thinking will always help, whether you want to buy or sell. My sales consultants’ friendly approach made the buying and selling process so easy. Braziers is the Real Estate company you will want to have on the top of your list if you serious about investing in property.

Chad Zhang (Investor/Business Owner)

As property investors we found Braziers to be very helpful and honest throughout the business relationship. They took the time to explain everything to us and to ensure that we were very satisfied with the result. Keep up the good work.

Mr and Mrs Dia (Property Investors)

Over the past 11 years I have had an on going business relationship with Brazier Property Investments. I have found their representatives and agents to be co-operative and professional at all times in our dealings. They have always been able to keep me updated with respective property sales of my properties and have always dealt with me with the ethos "I am acting for the vendor at all times". On many occasions Brazier staff have gone the extra distance and provided expert opinion and service beyond their normal business requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending their professional services.

Tim McCardle (Estate Manager)

Since 1971, I have been involved as a builder and investor in the rental market. During this time I have had dealings with Brazier Property Investments and seen the company grow to the market leader in Christchurch through no other reason than a complete knowledge of the property values and rental returns. Any person wishing to enter or to be involved in this market would find it a must to read the newsletter to get a real feel of the market.

Russell Forward (Builder / Investor)

I recently purchased an investment property in Christchurch having been directed to your site via another, well-known auction site. Of the dozens of NZ and Australian based real estate sites, I was delighted to find one that was very informative, easy to use, and obviously regularly updated. Not all are in my experience.

After many hours of research, I found a business that was truly dedicated to assisting investors and a property that matched my particular investment needs. The process was made relatively painless by a professional, efficient agent with a similar sense of humour. I have no hesitation in commending Braziers for the part they played in the transaction, and will happily recommend other family and friends to your service.

Malcolm H Mendey ACll, ANZIIF (Senior Associate "Chartered Loss Adjusters and Surveyors" )

We have always found Brazier Property Investments Ltd to be a highly professional and very well organized firm. We have recommended Brazier Property Investments to a number of professional colleagues and personal friends seeking a quality property management service, and would have no hesitation in using Brazier ourselves if the need ever arose.

Simon Henry (Managing Director, Rapaki Property Group")

We would like to pass on our thanks to the team at Braziers who helped us with our purchase of 4 rental properties in Christchurch city. Being rather green in the way of rental investment properties it was great to have their experience to help us in the decision making of what at that stage was a rather large commitment on our part into an unknown venture.

Their advice has certainly been appreciated and we have never looked back. The advice and support during the process was a far cry from other real estate agents we had dealt with in the past and there was never any pressure put on us to complete the purchase.

The continued correspondence and information from Braziers is great and we have learnt a great deal from this. We look forward to dealing with Braziers again in the near future.

Kim and Lisa Twentyman (Private Investors)

Brazier Property Investments Ltd, I have found to be totally up front, reliable, on time, consistent and with a wealth of information. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of property investing, or managing property.

Anna Loveridge (Investor)

Over the years we have purchased several investment properties from Brazier Property Investments Ltd. As we were new to purchasing investment properties we were most grateful for their expertise, knowledge, professionalism and negotiation skills. We enjoy their extensive property portfolio, (making them the market leaders in investment property in Christchurch) and regular market updates which we find interesting and particularly useful when setting our rental levels inline with those in our local area. We therefore will continue to utilize the excellent services of Brazier Property Investments Ltd in the future for all of our property investment needs.

Brett Smith (Company Manager)

A short note to thank you for the continuing delivery of your Property Investment newsletter, which arrives regularly and which, as a property owner/investor, I always read with interest.

Keith Hunter (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon)

We have dealt with Brazier Property Investments since 2001 as both purchasers and vendors. What has been invaluable to us is the ongoing technical support in the form of the quarterly detailed investment newsletter, and the excellent regular sales person contact. Both of these factors have been key ingredients in the growth of our portfolio.

The fact that our family now enjoy financial independence and no longer need to work, is largely due to our relationship with Brazier Property Investments. We thoroughly recommend Brazier Property Investments in the handling of both the sale or purchase of your property assets.

Zane and Jasmine Adam (Professional Landlord)

After our inquiring about a particular property Braziers sent us the Newsletter and after reading the first one we looked forward to continuing to receive these. This is most unusual for us to actually read, (and read thoroughly) an advertising newsletter. The fact based articles, the graphs, the sales and rent tables for all suburbs and the no excuses type statements of opinion articles were all good. When we had enough of being landlords (in a very small way), Braziers advice was to hang on for another year, then before that year was up, to hold on for a bit longer. Then a few months later, the advice was to now sell because we would certainly now make a good capital gain. We took the advice and within days excellent offers came in, the pros and cons of each offer were discussed with a Braziers rep and a satisfactory sale was made. Further, we have had no regrets. Thank you.

Ian E Wilson (Private Investor)

We have enjoyed the services of Brazier Property Investments since 1999. Why do we like having business with them? In addition to their spotless professionalism and integrity, they possess profound knowledge of the local residential investment market and always give us an unbiased opinion on market situations and trends. We remember discussions with them, some seven-eight years ago, about future changes and developments in the residential investment business. It is amazing to see, from todays position, how correct their medium and long-term arguments and predictions were. Having their good advice and doing business with Brazier Property made a very positive and significant impact on our investment career.

Leonid and Lena Itskovich (Dr. of Engineering)

As foreign (Australian) potential investors my wife and I met with Braziers in 2005 in order to research property investment opportunities in Christchurch. Our request was handled knowledgeably and courteously and we were introduced to several prospective investments, any one of which would have suited our port folio requirements. Since that time the Brazier Newsletter together with details of newly listed properties have been forwarded to us on an ongoing basis. This market research has been helpful and we have no hesitation in recommending Braziers as a highly professional company. If we need to look at property opportunities in Christchurch again, Braziers would be our preferred partners of choice.

Ken Fife (CEO, Auto.i.t. Australia)

I first used Brazier Property Investments Ltd in 2003 and in the years since then I have bought and sold a number of properties through them. I have always found them to be extremely knowledgeable. No matter whether I am selling or buying their level of expertise is second to none. I run the property development arm of a charitable company here in Christchurch. I have always found Tony Brazier and his team to be extremely sympathetic to our needs and only happy to help us in any way they can. I greatly appreciate their professional manner and will continue to go to them first for my property requirements in the future.

Ross Gilray (Director "CLR Developments")

Braziers staff all take time to listen to our needs, and offer very sound advice. They have always ensured investment properties are efficiently managed and achieve the best financial outcome. Real estate sales and purchases are invariably smooth and efficient. We are indeed fortunate to use their services.

Susan and Dr Rex Yule

Recently we asked Brazier Property Investments Ltd to sell one of our rental properties. We were very impressed with their service, their attention to detail, their accurate assessment of the market value of the property, and the list of potential buyers they were able to contact. Within a few weeks the property was sold. The advice we got when negotiating the final deal was very valuable and the commission paid was well worth it.

Jan and John Boyce (Private Landlords)

I bought a lovely two bedroom unit about ten years ago, with the friendly advice from Brazier Property Investments Ltd. The sale process and possession was made very easy and a great way to start an investment portfolio. Since then the unit has proved to be a steady little earner and a valuable investment. Thank you.

Colin Mee (Private Landlord)

Brazier property investments have been of considerable help over the past 9 years to myself and people I have recommended them to. I commend them on their professionalism in the market place with a wide array of listings that I continually rely upon to keep me up to date as a professional landlord. Above all I have always received correspondence in a courteous and business like manner. Thanks again and all the best in the future.

Gordon Bennett JP (Landlord)

My wife and I bought our rental property through Braziers, approximately 2 years ago, since then we have engaged Braziers as property managers. No hassle as a landlord, good market updates etc. through the newsletter, no worries about tenants or rent money all in all, we are very pleased with Braziers.

Brian Cockburn (Private Landlord)

Moyra and I wish to acknowledge the initial help and advice Tony and his staff gave to us when we were thinking of buying an investment property. As a result we bought through Braziers and subsequently asked them to manage the property for us. It was probably the best thing we have ever done as all the worries of renting out a property were handled on our behalf by their wonderful staff. Because of this great relationship we sought their help in selling the property for us which they did. Braziers help in advising buying and selling on our behalf was much appreciated and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering buying an investment property.

Peter and Moyra Connell (Retirees)

I bought my rental property from Braziers in February 2005. At first my own bank would not allow my mortgage so I had given up all hope. Then the sales consultant suggested that I contact Tony Mounce from the BNZ. He approved my loan and since then I have not looked back. Braziers also offered the services of their property managers but I had already arranged one with my partners firm. So not only did I get a good rental property but also financial advice and since then ongoing newsletters which are most interesting. Braziers service has been first class and I would not hesitate to buy or sell with them again.

Debbie Lowery (Jewellery Designer)

Our experience with the Brazier team has been extremely positive. We were delighted to work with them when we purchased our first property. The professionalism and practical advice and support is first class. We have also sold property through Braziers and again were extremely happy with the outcome. At all times we felt the team were working for us to achieve a good result and which they did! The newsletter is an excellent resource for anyone thinking of entering the market or to keep up to date on trends. We have recommended Braziers to other first time rental property buyers.

Bill and Wendy McDonald (National HR Mgr, Solid Energy)

My wife and I have been residential property investors in the Christchurch market for many years. During that time, Tony Brazier and his team have provided much valuable advice and service. In our view, particular strengths of Brazier Property Investments (BPI) are their website and the very informative newsletter. We always look forward to the newsletter for its overview of the market together with specific data and often also a relevant article by an outside commentator. At the time of writing we are marketing one of our properties through BPI, and can recommend them with confidence to other investors.

Christopher Seeley, PhD (Investor)

The confusing procedures for buying my first home were made simple and stress free thanks to Braziers patiently explaining how it all worked. The purchase went smoothly with Braziers helpful advice, my only regret being not buying sooner!

Anthony Hoffman (Electronics Engineer)

We were fortunate to meet one of Braziers professional real estate agents in 2000 when property was in the doldrums. That encounter, invaluable advice followed by an awesome purchase put our property investing future on track. Today when we receive a Braziers newsletter everything else is put aside until each piece of information is digested. Braziers statistical and analytical data is second to none. Thanks Braziers for your ongoing support.
