By Christine Regan
Selling your home is a big decision, and you deserve to know exactly what’s happening every step of the way. My roll is to make the process clear, keep you informed, and negotiate the very best outcome for you.
I’ve been selling real estate since starting my career in Los Angeles, and I’ve helped clients sell more than $100 million worth of property. That experience means I know what works, but every home and every situation is different. That’s why I take the time to understand what’s most important to you and build a strategy around your goals.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at the beach or on a bushwalk with my partner, our two kids, and our two crazy dogs.
My goal is to provide you with enough honest information so you can make a confident decision on whether now is the right time to sell your property. Hope this helps.
Client Testimonials
-
“Christine did everything right from the beginning, starting with convincing me to hire stagers for my place. This really did help my house look as good as it possibly could, and we got multiple offers over asking even in a less than ideal market. We sold quickly which was the goal in a house with kids and pets. She also had a wonderful cleaner that helped me prep my place for the open home. She has a solid system down when it comes to selling, she was an excellent communicator, and held our hands when there were bumps in the road with the buyers. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell. Christine also helped me buy this place, that I just sold. So we've come full circle : )”

“l've sold a lot of homes and worked with a lot of other agents —Christine is one of the best (certainly the best I've dealt with in Tauranga). Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she got me a great price for the property. Christine exceeded expectations at every step and made the whole process easy. Couldn't recommend her more highly.”

"Christine is an amazing agent who we have had the pleasure to work with as both the seller and a buyers agent and she is incredible at both. Works overtime and truly has your best interests at heart. Couldn’t recommend her more highly."
Connor S.
-
"Christine had impressive knowledge and experience that offset our severe lack of the same. When we felt ready to give up trying to find our home, she made it easy to keep looking with her encouragement and understanding. She genuinely wants to help her clients and has educated us throughout the process so we were as best equipped as possible. We can’t thank Christine enough."

How’s The Market?
Why Ray White?
Besides our massive competitive advantage through our interconnected local network, and our agents’ high standards of detail and market knowledge, our real power lies in our Buyer Match technology and NurtureCloud. This intelligent system actively tracks real-time buyer behavior to find the perfect purchaser for your home on day one, while giving you complete visibility through your live Vendor Portal. You will never have to wonder what is going on, because you can see and track all enquiry, marketing progress, and open-home activity 24/7.
Just an example of a few great features of Nurture Cloud.
Smart Buyer Match (ONLY at Ray White)
Ray White’s Smart Buyer Match gives us real-time insight into which buyers are most likely to be interested in your property based on their recent activity, inspections attended, feedback provided and properties they’ve engaged with. Rather than relying on outdated databases or generic buyer lists, the system identifies active buyers currently searching for homes similar to yours.
This allows us to approach the right buyers before and during your campaign with far greater accuracy. We can see which buyers are actively inspecting homes, how engaged they are in the market and in many cases, whether they are finance approved, recent underbidders or ready to make a move.
Instead of simply saying “we have buyers”, Smart Buyer Match gives us data backed evidence of genuine buyer activity. It helps us focus our time on the buyers most likely to compete for your property, creating stronger engagement and better market feedback throughout the campaign.

Comparative Market Analysis
Now on to your CMA…
Online Estimates
Buyers today have access to a wide range of online property tools, and many will look up an estimated value before deciding to view a home. These figures can often be unreliable, as they are typically generated using broad area data rather than the specific features of an individual property. Even so, understanding the estimates shown online is important, as they can influence buyer expectations before they step through the door.

Final sale outcomes can also be influenced by factors such as presentation, marketing strategy, buyer competition, timing, and the experience of the agent representing the property.

Buyer Qualification & Negotiation
I spend a lot of time understanding each buyer’s motivation, timing, finance position, and level of interest in the property. Those conversations help me negotiate strategically and confidently guide buyers towards their strongest offer.
Supply, Demand & Buyer Competition
Achieving a premium result often comes down to understanding supply and demand in your specific market. I closely monitor buyer activity, competing listings, and market conditions to position your property strategically. By creating urgency and carefully managing buyer competition throughout the campaign, I work to encourage stronger offers and better sale conditions.
Important: What is Perceived Value?
Presentation & Staging Advice
Presentation is everything. Before launching your property, I’ll guide you on presentation, styling, and simple improvements that can have a real impact on buyer perception. Every listing includes a complimentary staging consultation to help your home stand out both online and in person.
Perceived value is the value someone believes something has, regardless of its actual cost or measurable features.
In real estate, buyers are often influenced by emotion just as much as facts. A home that feels well presented, desirable, warm, modern, or in demand will usually be perceived as more valuable than a very similar property that feels poorly marketed or less appealing.
Things that influence perceived value include:
presentation and styling,
photography and video,
pricing strategy,
marketing quality,
buyer competition,
scarcity and urgency,
and even the way a property smells or feels during a viewing.
Perceived value is important because buyers don’t simply purchase based on logic.
They purchase based on how much they want the property and what they believe it’s worth to them.
Perception = Reality
“People don’t buy things for what they do. They buy them for what they mean.”
Marketing Packages
“Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell.”
Ask about “LIST NOW” : 0% upfront marketing, with deferred payment.
List Now is a third-party company offering a line of credit toward your marketing costs. Subject to a small interest fee.
Marketing costs are otherwise due upfront and are non-refundable should the property be withdrawn from the market or not reach a successful sale.
Methods of Sale
Choosing the right method of sale is an important part of the selling process. The most common options are fixed price, deadline sale, by negotiation and auction, each offering different advantages depending on the property and market conditions. I’ll explain how each method works, outline the key considerations, and help you decide which approach best suits your situation.
Fixed Price
A fixed price campaign gives buyers a clear price point from the start. You can choose to market with a set asking price or use a Buyer Enquiry Over figure to encourage interest above a certain level. This method works well when there’s good evidence around value, and you want to keep the process simple and straightforward.
Deadline Sale
A deadline sale gives buyers a set date to submit their offers, while still allowing flexibility along the way. Buyers can submit offers at any point before the deadline and, if a strong result is achieved early, the property can often be sold prior. This method can create urgency and encourages buyers to put forward their best offer rather than waiting to see what happens.
Negotiation
Selling by negotiation allows the market to help determine value without setting a public price expectation upfront. This can be especially effective when a property is unique or difficult to price accurately. It also gives valuable buyer feedback during the campaign, helping gauge interest levels and understand where the market sees value before making decisions on offers.
Auction
Auctions are often well suited to unique homes, highly desirable properties, or situations where strong buyer competition is expected. Buyers need to complete their due diligence before auction day, meaning successful purchasers are typically cash unconditional. This can create a cleaner and more certain sale process for sellers. It’s also completely normal for a property not to sell under the hammer, with many auctions continuing into post auction negotiations afterwards.
To achieve the most the market has to offer in the best amount of time, my custom recommendation for your property is:

More to note.
The estimated sale range has been prepared using recent local sales, properties currently on the market, and broader market data relevant to your area.
Property values can change over time and are influenced by factors such as buyer demand, market conditions, presentation of the home, and the marketing approach used when the property is launched. If your property is not listed immediately, the estimated price range may need to be reassessed closer to the time of listing.
This appraisal reflects my professional opinion based on current market evidence and experience within the local area. It is not a formal valuation and should not be relied upon as a registered valuation report. This estimate assumes there are no undisclosed issues relating to title, council approvals, code compliance, structural integrity, or weather tightness that could negatively impact the property’s value.
This appraisal is provided on the basis that current market conditions remain relatively stable and that no significant building defects are identified.
