Christchurch has changed — and so has the way your property should be represented.
For the past three years, Calder & Co. Residential has sold 150+ homes across Christchurch and Canterbury — from Amberley to Selwyn, Akaroa to West Melton. Through every neighbourhood, we’ve learned what works in real estate: structured campaigns, disciplined negotiation, and high standards.
Having worked for the competition, we’ve also learned what doesn’t. Layered hierarchies. Inflated overhead. Vendors paying for brand structures that don’t improve your sales results.
Calder & Co. Residential was born and built right here in Christchurch and as a homegrown agency, we know this city, its neighbourhoods, and its buyers better than anyone. We operate as a lean, director-led independent agency, built specifically for homeowners who expect clarity, strategy, and accountability.
Our local knowledge ensures your property connects with buyers across Christchurch. Our regional and national appeal reaches buyers throughout Canterbury and New Zealand. And thanks to our Trade Me Platinum partnership, your listing gains international exposure, connecting with buyers across the globe — the same reach as larger agencies, without the inflated fees. Our 2.5% + GST commission model reflects structural efficiency — not discounting. Same exposure. Same buyer reach. Sharper alignment.
Christchurch is a sophisticated market. Your representation should be too. We are not built to be the largest agency in the city. We are built to be responsible for the outcome.
Our office and lounge is located at 5/242 St Asaph Street, next door to the Little High Eatery, or we’re happy to come to your lounge to discuss your property plans further.
If you are considering selling and want experience without excess, strategy without noise, and accountability without layers — there is a modern, independent, Christchurch-grown alternative.
Kindly yours,
Michael Calder.
