5-star realty excellence: Raine & Horne
Putting clients’ interests first, even before their own, has produced consistent five-star reviews for one Canterbury real estate duo.
Natarsha Crawford and Susan Mullink (pictured) are the team behind Raine & Horne Northwood (formerly Mike Pero Northwood). The dynamic pair bought the franchise in January this year, continuing when it was acquired by, and rebranded Raine & Horne on 31 March 2024.
“We’re not your average real estate agents,” says Susan, adding that much of what agents do sounds similar yet varies greatly in delivery and client outcomes. She poses the question: “Why choose us?” 
Natarsha answers: “We approach our business differently, and always have the interest of our clients at front of mind, even when it doesn’t suit our own interests.” Their experience selling homes across Canterbury and North Canterbury has brought repeat business, and glowing testimonials from satisfied clients.
Excellence is the secret to their success, they say. “We believe in excellence: excellent service, excellent communication, excellent results, and that’s what we deliver,” adds Natarsha. “We do things that other agents don’t, such as organise gardeners, cleaners, and handy men to sort things out. We zhuzh people’s homes with our own plants, throws, cushions and knick-knacks to ensure it’s presented at its absolute best, and ensure there are no unexpected hiccups along the way.”
