Whittle Knight has been part of the Christchurch landscape for the past 50 years since Les Whittle, Wally Knight and Vic Boatwood opened their first real estate agency in 1966.
We were the first local real estate agency to use aerial photography, and the first to auction sections in Queenstown. We’ve been market leaders from our inception, and that tradition continues today with our use of the internet to market properties to buyers in Canterbury and around the world.
Today the 2nd generation, Ian and Gill Knight manage the agency, having joined their father in the business in the 1970s. Right from the start, we have provided both real estate sales and property management services. Both aspects of our business have grown and evolved. We recognise that people are more mobile than ever, moving house more often than in the past, and while the frequency of house sales has increased what hasn’t changed is that houses are still people’s biggest assets.
Getting you the best price, and making the sales process as easy and enjoyable as possible remains our top priority
Whittle Knight apply the same values today that made the agency a success 50 years ago. Our team takes a bespoke, individualized approach to each client, listening to your needs, researching the market, providing honest advice about property values and recommending the most appropriate marketing options for your property.
The application of a strict code of ethics, along with a culture of hard work and providing honest advice are just some of the reasons Whittle Knight have attracted and retained clients across the years.
It’s a simple formula that’s worked well for 50 years. Clients know they can trust us with their investments and we maintain many repeat clients.
As the agency moves into its’ second half century, and with the third generation of Knights joining the family‐owned business the values that have made us a respected and trusted real estate agency look certain to continue.
One of the aspects that sets us apart is our respect for everyone involved in property transactions. We’re determined to ensure everyone achieves their goals. That for each satisfied vendor there’s a delighted buyer, pleased to have purchased the property they desired. We help landlords improve and present their properties to attract and retain the best tenants who’ll appreciate and respect the homes they rent.
By recognising everyone’s needs, and working hard to get results that deliver the best outcomes we can earn the respect and retain our reputation as an agency that genuinely cares for its clients.
Whether you’re looking to Sell a Home, Buy a Home, or Property Management for your Investment Property, our friendly team can do it all.
