Alex Voon AREINZ

What is it About Alex Talking to Alex Voon is a journey of discovery. Here is a man who loves to laugh, to share a moment of fun and who always seems to see the glass’ half full rather than half empty.’ Yet he is far more a person than that; Alex Voon is an excellent businessman who is passionate about delivering great results. In order to do that Alex recognised that he must make sure he had the knowledge to ensure he delivered great results. Formal qualifications such as his National Diploma in Real Estate are also mirrored by his acquisition of a fistful of languages and an understanding of the Christchurch property market built carefully on his near decade of involvement in real estate. Such experience, such knowledge, such commitment would account for very little if it wasn’t matched with a sustained record of success. To Alex, ‘talking the talk’ is really about having ‘walked the walk first’ year after year he has built an enviable record of creating success for his clients. Real estate is important, his clients know it’s important and Alex also knows it is. On reflection, that is perhaps the clue as to why he works so hard for his clients. If a person was to focus on what Alex Voon excels at in his real estate work, one would find themselves in a bit of a quandary — the reality is he does so much of it brilliantly. If one was to dig further some of his clients would mention his skill as a negotiator, the ‘gentle persuader’ that keeps on working until the task is complete, others may well mention his pragmatic and knowledgeable understanding of real estate but the one that most talk about, is his positive energy and desire to succeed: qualities that are certain to appeal to those who wish for a quality real estate consultant to achieve great results for them.

Fang showed me many properties and also did a lot of research and made sure I didn’t have concerns about the properties.

Gemma Aitken

You may ask what characteristics are common to leading real estate consultants. You can’t escape the non-negotiables - sincerity, integrity, knowledge, honesty, reliability and the list can go on…. my involvement may just add another dimension for I can vividly recall when as an 8-year-old going to an open home with my father who was working in the industry and at this tender age observing the excitement in property. My passion for property has never waned and given both parents are involved in the industry and in their own right very successful I have received plenty of support and knowledge to ensure another family generation will succeed. I first started working as a Personal Assistant then as a Buyers Consultant for arguably New Zealand’s most successful Real Estate Agent Alison Aitken. During this period I learnt the tools of the trade plus the required professional effort and energy to be a good agent. In 2011 I decided to extend my real estate knowledge and commenced my valuation degree. In 2014 I graduated with a BCom – Valuation & Property Management from Lincoln University - working full time as a graduate then as a Registered Public Valuer for a prominent local firm Ford Baker. It was the interaction with people that brought me back to real estate with not just greater knowledge but a resultant confidence to know this truly is my calling. I believe the degree offers an edge as I combine the “on the floor” view of the market with statistical and academic property knowledge combining to provide sound, well researched, factual and well -informed advice to all my clients. That said, I would be delighted to help you achieve any or all of your real estate goals.

Geoff Smith AREINZ

He achieved many awards including Rookie of the year 1994/95 and was frequently top lister & top salesperson of the month. He has currently sold over $140 million worth of property in Christchurch. He completed the National Certificate & National Diploma in Real Estate and became an associate of the Real Estate Institute in 2000. This level of achievement would enable Geoff to run his own company should he ever wish to do so. These awards are the result of dedication to the role of selling the number one asset of most people. A little more about me. I am married to Mary with two young daughters, Rebecca 29 & Charlotte 23. Before I entered the dizzy mad world of Real Estate I taught Maths and Chemistry at Hillmorton High School (12 years). I guess I became sick of the holidays! My only claim to fame was playing cricket for Canterbury in the 80’s alongside the great Hadlee’s. If I was any good I would have been a pro cricketer but sadly Richard Hadlee seemed to get all the breaks!! Weekends playing cricket seem a distant memory but cricket won’t pay the bills especially at my age!! I live in Beckenham and look up at the houses on the hills. We love it there and any spare moments we get we usually spend maintaining our old wooden house and propping up the Mitre 10 balance sheet. We are both Christchurch born and bred and apart from a couple of working holidays in England wouldn’t live anywhere else. We would miss our freezing cold Easterly wind!! That about sum’s it up about me, I’ll give you the other eight chapters on completion of the sale of your property.

Every last cent… This is my promise to you. Over the past 20 years in Real Estate I have asked my clients what is most important to them? They have replied that they want someone that they like, that they trust and who listens to their needs but fundamentally they want “every last possible penny for their property”. 90% of my business has been achieved through my repeat clients and referrals. I believe this is testament that I deliver on that promise for “every last cent”. With over $150 million dollars in Real Estate sales it is my reputation for results that I am most proud of. No matter the value of your home you receive the same service. From entry level to high end homes, I am enthusiastic about them all. My passion is helping my clients optimise the equity in their assets. One decision can make or cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide the enclosed information. This page is usually used by agents to write a bit about themselves, give you some of their background, and perhaps talk themselves up a bit. I'd prefer others did the talking and following are a few words some of my clients have used to describe the real estate experience they enjoyed using my services: "Conscientious -Delighted with the sale result -Does what he says -Enthusiastic -Excellent communication - Hassle-free buying experience - Impeccable management of our sale -Impressive - Positive - Professional -Reliable -Sensitive -The Number 1 real estate agent -The ultimate professional -Thoughtful -Top salesman -Trustworthy - Would definitely recommend Len" I am very conscious of the effect selling, and buying, a house has on all my clients, and when I am given the opportunity to assist I consider it is my duty to do everything possible to ensure we achieve the best possible result, and make it as stress-free on you as possible. Every avenue is explored through a customised marketing campaign that includes choosing the correct method of sale for your property, quality presentation and photography, the internet. print advertising, and an extensive client database, to ensure all potential buyers are aware of your property, they are given every opportunity to view the home in its best light, and ultimately achieve a premium sale price. My past 5 years have been with the top team at the Harcourts Grenadier City office, it's a great central location, a new building with the latest technology available, and if auction is your chosen method of sale we have arguably the most state-of-the-art auction rooms in Australasia, and along with a specialist residential auction team, we all work together to achieve the best possible result for you. I'd love the opportunity to discuss any queries you may have, and look forward to working with you in the future.
