I have never given a 10 before but that score was totally deserved. From the start Chris and the team were professional, informative, kind, and continuously went above and beyond, easily exceeding my expectations.

Outstanding service from Chris yet again! Chris provides so much support and really comes on board creating a team environment to get the best possible result. This is the second time we have listed and sold with Chris and we wouldn’t consider using anyone else!

Chris and Susanna were very friendly and put me at ease during a stressful time. They communicated well, offered advice when asked and kept me informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for an honest, professional team to sell their property.

The team at Ray White Lochore's of Chris Gemmell and Susanna Fox in Birkenhead were simply brilliant and without their help and advice I think we’d still be trying to sell our beautiful home today. We owe them big thanks and I’d totally recommend them to any future prospective clients.

"Chris worked very hard to get a good result for me. He had several people interested and he kept them up to date as well as seeing how they were progressing with their sale or finance issues.Chris was very approachable as was his assistant Ali.I believe his experience as a valuer helped as my house had a major renovation to achieve its CCC. If I’m in the position to sell I would use Chris Gemmell again with no hesitation."

"Chris went above and beyond in his service to us. Nothing was too much trouble, including helping us get ready for our photoshoot and for our first open home, even on the days themselves. We bought this house 18 years ago from Chris, and his wealth of local knowledge and years of experience meant it was a straightforward decision to choose him to market the property. He was professional, warm, relaxed and reassuring throughout the entire process of the planning, marketing and sale. His years of experience and personable manner shone through, and are further highlighted now that we are in the market to buy, and are dealing with multiple agents as we view properties. Chris genuinely enjoys people and property, in that order, and his lack of pushiness is refreshing. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

Our elderly clients found a very special spot in a retirement village. They were nervous about the whole process of selling their much loved family home. We made the process as simple and pain free as we could to ensure a great result for them. We had an offer early on and brought the Auction forward which resulted in a tremendously happy vendor and a price they had only dreamed of.

It was evident that the our family home was becoming a bit of a burden on our elderly parents, I earmarked Chris and his team from Lochores well in advance to handle the sale of their house after they had decided to move to a lovely retirement village. Id spoken to Chris over the years and his knowledge of the area and Real Estate in general gave me the confidence that they were the right choice.
When the time came, Chris and his team were prepared and handled the sale with grace and ease. They installed the same confidence in my parents and the Auction process went better than expected.
It was absolute minimal stress on my parents which was always at the forefront of our concerns.
Thank you so much Chris, Ali and Team at Lochores for making this process an absolute breeze considering our circumstances. Mum and Dad are thrilled and have been totally impressed with your service all the way through, as were we all.

We would like to express how much we appreciated the efforts Chris and his team put into selling our apartment.
We especially appreciated the extra’s (eg: the fantastic advertising and spending time with those buyers who came and viewed the property several times. Those little extras meant a great deal to us.
Your respect for our goals with selling our property and getting us what we wanted out of this along with your fantastic communication skills made this sale easy, flawless and stressfree.
We felt that the quality of service and the presentation of our property couldn’t be bettered by another real estate company or agent and would definitely use Chris and his team again.
Never an inconvenience always felt well looked after.
We will definitely recommend any further business be directed your way.

WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOCHORES for the selling of our home as we have just been amazed at their excellent service. Our friends guided us to them and also came with us just to enquire re selling and the time we spent with them, we left signed up. We had so much confidence in Chris Gemmell with his friendliness, honesty, guidance and presentation. The speed of marketing our home was beyond our imagination and the photos and write up blew us away! The whole team couldn't do enough for us and kept in touch at every opportunity. When we had a buyer, the buyers had to sell there home and Chris was on the ball again. The two homes were sold and we were so delighted and became a real friend of Chris. Congratulations to the whole team. We couldn't be happier with their service. Thank you so much.

We initially came into contact with Chris when we bought our first property 10 years ago. As first time buyers, we were so impressed with his approach that when it came to selling our other property in 2015, we immediately thought of Chris. His subsequent handling of the sale gave us such confidence that when we eventually put our first property on the market, where we had initially met him, it was with Chris. By this stage we were living in South Island and apart from one face to face meeting, all our dealings were done remotely. Nothing was too much trouble for him; we were grateful for his help and advice, and delighted with both his approach and the result (not to mention the competitive fee structure!).

We would like to thank Chris, his team and Lochore's Ltd for making our dream of selling and buying our dream home come true...
We did not only purchase our home from Lochore's...but also sold our home through Lochore's and we can say that both experiences were, smooth, positive and a pleasant experience.
It was a pleasure to deal with Chris Gemmell, he made us feel at ease at all times, he was professional and had a friendly and warm approach at 'all' times.
Chris took away the politics and formalities of a real estate agent and he became our 'mate' straight away!!.
From day one we were saying jokes and laughing as if we knew Chris from years and years ago...and that's unplayable ...we felt we were dealing with a real friend who 'honestly cared' about us...and our family.
We felt his advise was always honest, professional and objective and we never felt pressured, uncomfortable or rushed to make any decision.
We admire your knowledge Chris, we learned so much about property and investment from you...you definitely know what you are talking about and that made us 'believe' in you and trust you even more.
Chris you were clear and translucent with your dealings ... also knowledgeable and professional at all times and we thank you for making us 'believe' in you and 'trust' you straight away.
We feel we have made a friend for life and we will always pop in to the office to say hello or to catch up for a coffee.
We love the fact that Lochore's is a family oriented company. Supported by a great team that also follows a team/family philosophy...and that makes them a unique real estate company.
Thank you guys for looking after North Shore families for so many years...and thank you for helping us reach our goals and dreams...Thank you for being our friends in the process.
Zane, Jansyl and Amor
