Selling your home is a major decision, and having the right agent by your side makes all the difference. With over 20 years of experience, 16 of those with Total Realty, I combine strategy, market expertise, and genuine commitment to deliver results.
I live and work in North Canterbury and specialise in this beautiful region. I also occasionality assist clients across Christchurch’s northwestern suburbs at times, an area I’ve proudly served for over two decades.
Backed by Total Realty’s full-service marketing and low-fee structure, I provide premium service without the premium price tag. More money in your pocket, without cutting corners. When discretion matters, I arrive in an unmarked vehicle for appraisals, but when it’s time to go to market, my branded van ensures your home gets noticed.
A large portion of my business comes from repeat and referral clients, and I’m incredibly grateful for the trust they continue to place in me. It’s a reflection of the consistent results I deliver.

Excellent! Russell covered every aspect of our sale clearly to us and answered our queries to our satisfaction. Russell knew our expectations and completed the sale for us in a short space of time.

In selling our house not only did Total Realty save us over $40,000 in commission, but the agent's mastery resulted in a perfect home for our happy buyers and a great result for us to move on easily.
Total Realty is a fabulous company, not just the front line staff but the professionals working behind the scenes, to ensure everything is processed accurately and timely.
We have sold with Total Realty four times and their service delivers over and above the service I have ever had from any of the more expensive Real Estate agencies."
