Christine Regan
Originally from Los Angeles, I built my career as an award-winning Realtor before making New Zealand my home. I’m passionate about helping people through major life moves and pride myself on delivering clear advice, strong negotiation, and the best possible outcome for every client. With a sharp understanding of the market and a focus on presenting homes at their absolute best, I work hard to make every sale a success. Outside of real estate, I enjoy beach walks with my partner, our two children, and our two crazy dogs
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 : )”

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.

Comparable Sales
Value isn’t decided by the seller. It’s decided by the market.
The following sales are recent comparable properties from the surrounding area and are intended to provide an indication of current market value. 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.

Appraised Market Value
This appraisal is informed by recent comparable sales in the surrounding area and provides an indication of your property’s current market position. While market data forms the foundation of the estimate, my priority is maximising buyer competition to achieve the highest price possible.

Smart Buyer Match
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.
“AI will not replace humans, but humans with AI will replace humans without AI.”
Buyer Activity Tracking
Exclusive Data to Ray White Tauranga/Bayfair Buyer
This chart tracks buyer inspection activity over the past three financial years and clearly shows that the current market is outperforming previous years.
The yellow line representing 2025 to 2026 sits consistently above both prior years for much of the period, particularly from February onwards where inspection numbers surged well ahead of historical levels.
What the data highlights is that despite negative economic headlines, rising interest rates and global uncertainty, buyer engagement has remained strong. Inspection activity has not only held up but has continued at levels significantly higher than the same periods in both 2024 to 2025 and 2023 to 2024.

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.
Negotiation
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.
Fixed Price
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.

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.

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.
