Remuera has two distinct real estate marketplaces; northern and southern slopes and most agents specialise accordingly.
All of the main agency groups have a local presence, as do more boutique outfits that perhaps have a perceived cachet that appeals to some buying and selling groups.
Homes on the northern side are the most expensive and many of the agents selling them have high profiles and near-celebrity status.
Properties on the southern side are cheaper, but still in Grammar zone, and often appeal to multi-generational Asian families in particular. Many of the agency teams are wisely multilingual.
Homes in the $3m+ price bracket can be difficult to sell at high premiums to CV, the buying market is comparatively small and is increasingly tempted by Parnell and Herne Bay. Many of these homes may not sell successfully at auction and can require discreet negotiations and persistence.
Both sides of the ridge are very competitive when it comes to listings. Would-be sellers should choose an agent that they feel will appeal to the types of buyers they are likely to attract.
