Emma Shine

Best agent I've ever dealt with! I have to say Emma Shine is the best real estate agent I've ever dealt with. We purchased a property in NZ while living in Australia and she was extremely accommodating for us viewing the property at short notice. She replied so quickly to every query and question. She educated us on the process and how everything worked in NZ and gave us confidence on moving quickly to purchase a property. Her network of professionals to help with the transaction were also of high quality. I couldn't rate Emma more highly - we've bought a lot of property over the years and she is by far head and shoulders above any agent I have dealt with. Thanks Emma for your professionalism, communication and all around care!

So friendly and supportive! Emma was amazing to work with as a first home buyer, she had lots of helpful tips and contacts. She checked in and the whole process felt so much easier than I ever imagined it would be! Big thanks to Emma.

Absolute Gem! Emma was brilliant, and I wouldn’t want to use any other agent going forward. She was such a great communicator throughout the selling process, giving detailed and informative feedback on the market, and interested buyers. And when there was hiccup she was solutions focused and positive. A+++

Fantastic Experience! We couldn't have been happier with our selling experience. Emma excels in her commitment, passion, professionalism and communication. We would have no hesitation in recommending Emma to anyone considering selling their home.

Excellent service Emma went above and beyond to help us achieve a fast outcome. she always did what she said she was going to do, and made a complicated process as easy as it could be. Thoroughly recommend.

Emma is an approachable and personable real estate professional who provides great service. During our initial meetings Emma outlined her experience and market knowledge of the Lyttelton village. Through her efficient communication we were able to plan swiftly for the open homes. She has an excellent reputation in the village, and it showed during the whole process. What we planned was perfectly executed and the house sold above Capital Value, in just over 3 weeks in an auction. If I had another property in Lyttelton to sell, I would utilise Emma's skills again. Highly recommended.

Emma is the next generation of ‘Team Shine’, following in her father’s footsteps, Mike. I have bought and sold real estate with Mike for over 40 years, and it was equally refreshing to work with his daughter on the sale of our house in Lyttelton. Well versed in all things Real Estate, Emma is not only competent, committed and an excellent communicator but is also available 24/7. Her friendly disposition made it easy for her to understand our requirements and in turn, worked hard to meet our needs. We had a great experience with Emma, who we found to be very professional, sincere and at the top of her game.

Emma's Exceptional Service in Selling Our Home! Emma’s attentiveness stood out to us. She understood that we weren’t interested in trivial feedback that would raise our hopes only to lead to disappointment. Instead, she only shared information from buyers who demonstrated genuine interest, filtering out the tyre kickers attempting to negotiate the price down. This was important for us, especially since we had already relocated from New Zealand to Australia and relied on Emma’s professional expertise to successfully sell our home. Without hesitation, I recommend Emma to anyone looking to sell their house.

So Friendly and Genuine, A Real Pleasure to Work With! Emma has great knowledge of not only the local market, but also of the real estate industry itself. She showed a personal interest in my situation and guided me through the process of purchasing a house. Nothing was too much trouble to Emma. If she said she would do something she invariably did so. Emma is proof that authenticity and the ability to build relationships are key to successful outcomes. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any prospective clients, whether purchasers or vendors.

Emma made what could easily have been a stressful experience smooth and enjoyable. Her professionalism and skill in handling over 80 open home groups and bringing the right buyers to auction day were impressive. Couldn't be happier.

Emma and Mike were great to deal with throughout the selling of my parents property and obtained an outcome beyond our wildest dreams. From the moment they initially viewed the property through to the completed sale, Emma & Mike maintained an excellent level of communication and were always available to answer our many questions and to guide the sale. Their level of sensitivity and understanding was brilliant and certainly made the process easy. They were very active in their selling, conducting multiple private viewings in addition to open homes. I have bought and sold multiple houses in recent years and have dealt with many Real Estate agents, and my experience with Team Shine was second to none.

It was such a pleasure to have Emma represent us as our agent for our house sale. She worked hard to get the best price for us an answered all questions that we asked of her. Nothing was too much effort and her approach and guidance was and is, always helpful, kind, considerate and pleasant. And always in our best interest! Emma really took a lot of the pressure off us by just being good at her job. We would highly recommend Emma to anyone that is looking to get into the property market. Thanks again for everything.

Competent, Professional and Extremely Easy to Deal with! Emma had an excellent understanding of the Lyttelton market and presented and promoted the house perfectly. That advice and decision making lead to a deadline being brought forward and a successful early sale. Her contacts within the industry endured easy and effective lines of communication with all the right people to help facilitate a seamless preparation for sale period. Emma was efficient and professional with the administrative side of the sale without being pushy. I thoroughly recommend Emma for house sales, and she would be equally effective as a buyers agent for purchases.

Above and Beyond! It has been a delight to work with Emma on this challenging project - due to council delays and some building sign off she has stuck to it through the long haul. Nothing has been a problem, she has given us sound advice and guidance and has always been so positive. Selling houses is something I have very little experience in so Emma has had to guide me through even the basics and she has done that with good grace and has always been helpful and supportive. She achieved our goals and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Brilliant service! Emma has been friendly, professional and helpful throughout. She made the whole process as stress free as possible, given that we are in the UK but selling our house in New Zealand. She kept us informed all the way and I would be happy to use her services again.

What an amazing selling experience that we have had working with Emma and Mike! Emma and Mike Shine are such a great team with complimentary skills, huge experience in the Lyttelton market as well as living there. I was feeling quite anxious about being able to get through the process of selling my home of 40 years. But they made me feel very at ease, allowing me to take my time in making decisions. Your efforts have been much appreciated.

Team Shine made our house selling experience easy and stress free! Mike, Donna and Emma were there every step of the way with us, providing solid advice, a friendly face, and an extremely high standard of professionalism during this sometimes stressful process. They were personable and easy to work with and they communicated to a high level every step of the way, making sure that we understood every detail of the selling process, and that we were informed about every relevant point. Their knowledge of the market is second to none, especially in Lyttelton, and their marketing strategies were highly effective in getting our house out to the public on multiple platforms. They were diligent throughout the open home process and conducted themselves in a professional and courteous manner with both us, and the potential buyers. We would recommend Team Shine to anyone who is thinking of selling their house or property, and would also urge any who are purchasing property through them to have faith in their integrity, honesty and professionalism. Mike and his team really go above and beyond for their clients and we are grateful that we chose to work with these dedicated, professional people.

Team Shine. AAAA+++++ Being in my 80s, and never having sold a property before, I had heard how stressful it would be. Having non signed off alterations done over 15 years ago Emma and her father Mike sorted out all the issues to get Council Compliance. Emma kept me up to date with enquiries and viewers opinions. Altogether this whole exercise was totally stress free for me. Team Shine, you’re shine by name and shine by nature.

Great Team! Team Shine are a great team They got our sale across the line and sorted all the issues. Thanks Mike and Emma.

Patient, calm and knowledgable - you’re in safe hands with Emma! Emma brings a calm, transparent and patient feel to the process of selling your house. Along the way she explained each process step by step, took the time to meet in person time and time again, and never pushed for a decision until I was ready to make it. She responded with calmness whenever I had a worry or needed a bit of reassurance. She is a breath of fresh air and made my journey so much easier. Her strategy for selling my home felt sound and effective from the moment she presented her package - any query I had, she answered promptly and with such deep knowledge of the sector. She put in every effort to journey every potential buyer, respond to their queries, took the time to build a relationship with them and I truly believe it is her relationship-building skills that sold my home. In being highly professional, communicative, kind and most of all so very patient - any one would be in safe hands working with Emma. For a retired person like myself, selling your home is a daunting journey. Thank you, Emma, for turning what is usually a very stressful process, into a smooth and reassuring one!

Shining stars! Selling my house with Mike and his team has been a very positive experience. Mike is a good communicator and is very professional in everything he does. He listened to my queries, gave me good advise and put my mind at rest. He set out a clear timeline and everything went according to plan. Mike really knows his job and nothing was too much trouble for him.

We had the absolute pleasure to work with Emma to purchase our third property and I have to say, we had a wonderful experience with her: Emma was very responsive, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to chase information for us and help us with finding a new lawyer as well. She made what could have been a quite tricky process, much easier and smooth. I absolutely recommend working and trusting Emma for an exceptional service.

Our Experience with Emma was extremely positive. She communicated consistently and promptly and was once again the consummate professional. Emma kept us informed of all developments, was very aware of market dynamics and had her finger on the pulse of all facets of the sales process. With her warm personality, Emma enabled a stress-free sales experience for us.

Emma has made the process of selling our rental property so easy and painless. Her communication has been outstanding and nothing has been an issue. We are so grateful for all of the hard work Emma has put into the sale and couldn't be happier with how it worked out. We would absolutely go to Emma again for any future house sales.

We just purchased a home with Emma Shine, and very much recommend anyone who is looking for a realtor to work with Emma. We just relocated back to NZ after living in Canada for 30 years, so we really needed to be coached through the buying process and introduced to the area. Emma was extremely helpful, during, and especially after our purchase. She provided tons of information about our new neighbourhood and was generally a kind and friendly person. Most importantly, we felt she acted with transparency and integrity, which allowed us a degree of comfort we hadn’t found speaking with many other realtors. Thank you to Emma and the Mike Shine team for making this transition less stressful on us both!

Emma was professional and helpful while striding for the best outcome. She also demonstrated great communication skills and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to employ Emma’s assistance in the future.
