Principal team in property: Vic Raha

A growing team is a seal of confidence, and in the thrilling landscape of real estate, more hands on deck are a welcome relief.

Team is the key word, and newly-recruited assistant Marie Stokes (pictured right) makes the Harcourts Grenadier trio complete alongside the ever-succesful Vic Raha and Melissa Davenport. Marie brings more than just excellent service and experience, she becomes an added point of contact for easy accessibility. “We value communication in whichever form you prefer – in person, over the phone, text, or even WhatsApp,” she explains. When selling or buying your biggest asset, availability and fast responses are key.

Across the latest in local real estate, the team gladly reports increased buyer activity from owner occupiers and first home buyers in Canterbury. This is a great sign, and an increase of 18%
in auction activity year-on-year for Grenadier is an even better one. “Practised and polished”, that’s their secret to prosperous auction campaigns.

Their team-focused ethos proves rewarding in other areas too, with a list of contacts across top home stagers, builders, gardeners, and cleaners – to ensure your home goes to market at its best.

With declining interest rates, the market expects a gradual recovery moving into 2025 according to REINZ Chief Executive Jen Baird. “Increased confidence among vendors and buyers, despite challenges like the cost of living,” make it an ideal time to connect with Team Raha.
