Chris Gemmell AREINZ

Chris went above and beyond. We chose him because his experience and knowledge showed right from our initial meeting and the appraisal he provided. I am so pleased we engaged with Chris and I wish to convey our utmost gratitude to him and the entire team at Ray White Lochore's (and wider Ray White team - Sam Steele was excellent as the auctioneer).

He knows the market and in difficult times managed to get the purchaser across the line. Chris has a high degree of integrity and works all parties for best outcome for all

Friendly and rapid response to our questions

We haven’t sold before,so a little bit nervous about what to do.But Chris went through every step of the way.Explaining each step.

Alina and I can’t find the right words to describe our gratefulness to you all. Everything went very well from the beginning. A big thank you for your support, guidance, professionalism and friendship.

Totally decent person and kept things to the job at hand. While he represented the vendors, Chris was good to deal with from our side too.

Very Professional. Went over and beyond what we had expected with follow up reporting after open homes. Always listened and answered our questions without making us feel silly for asking probably some basic questions at times. Found him very encouraging both to vendor as well as possible purchasers. A Real Estate Agent who does his job extremely well.

Great working with Chris, Susanna and Ali.

I have never given a 10 before but that score was totally deserved. From the start Chris and the team were professional, informative, kind, and continuously went above and beyond, easily exceeding my expectations.

Chris understands his clients, knows market, knows how to market the property to get best results

Outstanding service from Chris yet again! Chris provides so much support and really comes on board creating a team environment to get the best possible result. This is the second time we have listed and sold with Chris and we wouldn’t consider using anyone else!

I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction and appreciation for the outstanding service I received from two exceptional professionals, Chris Gemmell and Susanna Fox. I was particularly impressed with their professionalism and integrity throughout the entire process. They consistently acted in my best interests, providing honest and transparent advice. Their genuine passion for their work and dedication to client satisfaction were truly commendable.

Chris was helpful as a buyer, helping us through the process as first time buyers and organising all pre-auction and pre purchase conditions with the vendors. Thanks for your help Chris

Excellent advice throughout the process, including he negotiating stage.

Chris and Susanna were very friendly and put me at ease during a stressful time. They communicated well, offered advice when asked and kept me informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for an honest, professional team to sell their property.

I felt very confident and I trusted Chris completely

The team at Ray White Lochore's of Chris Gemmell and Susanna Fox in Birkenhead were simply brilliant and without their help and advice I think we’d still be trying to sell our beautiful home today. We owe them big thanks and I’d totally recommend them to any future prospective clients

The decision to sell out home after 34 years was not one we took lightly. We wanted to downsize and Chris and the team at Lochores went out of their way to make the process as easy and as stress free as possible. Putting your house on the market just before the first COVID-19 lockdown certainly wasn’t easy. However Chris and Ali always ensured we knew what was happening. Chris’s knowledge and understanding of the property market is outstanding and we always felt that our best interests were being looked after at all times. Chris also helped us with looking for a suitable new home. We are so grateful for everything that Chris and his team did for us, we can’t speak highly enough about Lochores and would recommend them without hesitation.

Great all round service thanks to Chris and Susanna

Chris is understanding and so easy to talk to. He made my house sell so easy. Thank you Chris

I found Chris to be very positive, very experienced and attentive to detail. And an extremely nice person.

Chris was very supportive, knowledgeable and very helpful. He did a great job of guiding us through the process and was always approachable whenever we had questions.

He organized efficient and economic trades people to do tidy up jobs . He was at all times very helpful and cooperative.

Chris and the Ray White Birkenhead team are the best you will find. friendly, knowledgably, and hard working. I would not hesitate recommending them and using them again.

Chris went above and beyond in his service to us. Nothing was too much trouble, including helping us get ready for our photoshoot and for our first open home, even on the days themselves. We bought this house 18 years ago from Chris, and his wealth of local knowledge and years of experience meant it was a straightforward decision to choose him to market the property. He was professional, warm, relaxed and reassuring throughout the entire process of the planning, marketing and sale. His years of experience and personable manner shone through, and are further highlighted now that we are in the market to buy, and are dealing with multiple agents as we view properties. Chris genuinely enjoys people and property, in that order, and his lack of pushiness is refreshing. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Easy to relate to, very good at explaining process to first a time seller. Always contacted seller re private viewings, clear and prompt re open homes. Very easy to work with.

Chris is very professional an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable, this is the 2nd property he has sold for me and I highly recommend him

Chris has sold property for us and to us several times now and also for family. He is very caring, honest and his experience in the business has always got us the best price for our properties. In this latest transaction he went above and beyond to help us with presentation and his advice has been valuable.

I recently sold my property through Chris, and can’t recommend his services highly enough. His advice, his upbeat “nothings too much of a problem” personality, and his patience when it came to trying to settle the sale during level 3 lockdown were exemplary. I would also like to give a big shout out to his assistant Ali who went above and beyond to dig out supporting documents that assisted prospective buyers (and therefore me) make an informed decision about whether my property was the right one for them. Many, many thanks Chris and Ali, no doubt about it you are a star team

Chris worked very hard to get a good result for me. He had several people interested and he kept them up to date as well as seeing how they were progressing with their sale or finance issues.Chris was very approachable as was his assistant Ali.I believe his experience as a valuer helped as my house had a major renovation to achieve its CCC. If I’m in the position to sell I would use Chris Gemmell again with no hesitation.

Great communication and work ethic. We felt really comfortable with Chris and his team. They went the extra mile to make sure both vendor and we as buyers were well looked after during the whole process. Would recommend him to anyone thinking of selling or buying.

It was evident that the our family home was becoming a bit of a burden on our elderly parents, I earmarked Chris and his team from Lochores well in advance to handle the sale of their house after they had decided to move to a lovely retirement village. I’d spoken to Chris over the years and his knowledge of the area and Real Estate in general gave me the confidence that they were the right choice. When the time came, Chris and his team were prepared and handled the sale with grace and ease. They installed the same confidence in my parents and the Auction process went better than expected. It was absolute minimal stress on my parents which was always at the forefront of our concerns. Thank you so much, Chris, Ali, and Team at Lochores for making this process an absolute breeze considering our circumstances. Mum and Dad are thrilled and have been totally impressed with your service all the way through, as were we all

Chris Gemmell was amazing to deal with when purchasing our first home. As a young couple, we found that we often got overlooked at open homes by real estate agents, but Chris was SO friendly and helpful right from the first meeting. He was super genuine and honest the whole way through the process, and helped us succeed with our pre-auction offer to get into our first home! Lochore's also gave us an incredibly thoughtful housewarming gift with the keys - stoked with the service we received!

We would like to express how much we appreciated the efforts Chris and his team put into selling our apartment. We especially appreciated the extra’s, eg: the fantastic advertising and spending time with those buyers who came and viewed the property several times. Those little extras meant a great deal to us. Your respect for our goals with selling our property and getting us what we wanted out of this, along with your fantastic communication skills made this sale easy, flawless and stress free. We felt that the quality of service and the presentation of our property couldn’t be bettered by another real estate company or agent and would definitely use Chris and his team again. Never an inconvenience always felt well looked after. We will definitely recommend any further business be directed your way.

We would highly recommend Chris Gemmell for the selling of your home! We have just been amazed at his excellent service. Our friends guided us to him and also came with us just to enquire re selling and the time we spent with them, we left signed up. We had so much confidence in Chris Gemmell with his friendliness, honesty, guidance, and presentation. The speed of marketing our home was beyond our imagination and the photos and writeup blew us away! The whole team couldn’t do enough for us and kept in touch at every opportunity. When we had a buyer, the buyers had to sell their home and Chris was on the ball again. The two homes were sold and we were so delighted and became a real friend of Chris. Congratulations to the whole team. We couldn’t be happier with their service. Thank you so much.

We initially came into contact with Chris Gemmell when we bought our first property 10 years ago. As first-time buyers, we were so impressed with his approach that when it came to selling our other property in 2015, we immediately thought of Chris. His subsequent handling of the sale gave us such confidence that when we eventually put our first property on the market, where we had initially met him, it was with Chris. By this stage we were living in South Island and part from one face-to-face meeting, all our dealings were done remotely. Nothing was too much trouble for him; we were grateful for his help and advice and delighted with both his approach and the result (not to mention the competitive fee structure!).

Thanks for everything you have done for Mum. She has felt very well cared for and was impressed with your handling of the auction. The result was amazing and this will mean Mum can comfortably live till she’s 100!! She can now move on to the next stage in her life with no financial worries.

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your help selling 45 James Evans Drive. Your service was impeccable and we were both really glad we chose Lochore's and most importantly yourself to sell our home. The result was truly amazing. We are this week going unconditional on a beautiful home in Rangiora that we are very excited to move into in 4 weeks from Friday and couldn’t have done it without your help at the other end.

Thank you for your help and patience. The speed of selling was incredible, and we are very happy with the price. You and your team are amazing!

Chris Gemmell is indeed the country’s premier agent, in our opinion. He patiently and generously gave his time to sort through our laborious code of compliance process to finalise a great offer and settlement that worked for everyone. He did this while dealing with an obstructive tenant, a demanding purchaser, and vendors who were busy and distracted executives. Chris’s greatest strength – outside of his sheer tenacity – was always being able to find the stakeholders’ middle ground and gently negotiate us all to a stellar ending. We will happily and confidently refer Chris to anyone seeking a committed and talented professional to manage their home sale or purchase.

We have appreciated your integrity, honesty, and professionalism, as well as the amazing commitment of your team in the process of selling our home. We will definitely be recommending your services to our friends.

We would just like to say how wonderful Chris and the whole team have been to us, in both selling and repurchasing a new property. We have found them to be very honest, reliable, and happy to help at any time, day or night. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Chris and Ali are a great team and highly professional at doing what they do best.

Chris’ expertise in the valuation of my house was precise and enabled me to meet the market with a realistic price that was honest and 100% accurate. He kept me informed throughout the whole process and achieved a sale within two weeks of the house being listed. I found Chris to be completely professional. He made me feel like I was being really looked after, even to the extent of finding me a beautiful new house within a week. He really made it so easy for me and I would recommend him to anyone who wants fast, efficient service that really does get results!
