We engaged Chris Meban to sell our 300ha sheep and cattle property in Waikite Valley. We had been to the market unsuccessfully on other occasions using both Bayleys and Wrightsons. The first thing that struck us about Chris was his professionalism, integrity and honesty. Chris is a pleasure to deal with on all levels and business dealings. Chris communicated well with us throughout the whole process, and we were convinced from the start that he was the “right man for the job”. Chris proved this to be true when he presented numerous offers to us over the period which our farm was listed with him. When Chris sold the farm, we found the process to be easy and Chris managed the negotiations well for a great outcome. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending Chris if you want your property sold.

Chris was an integral part of the sale of my property while I was living overseas. When the market was down and buyers were few, Chris used his creativity, patience and professionalism to structure a deal that only years of experience could make happen. He was diligent, always willing to answer questions and never left my side throughout the extended settlement period. I strongly recommend working with Chris Meban.

We would like to thank Chris Meban for selling our deer farm. We had subdivided our house off the property so we continue to live in the area and only needed to pay the final fee to complete the title and sale. Chris's experience realised this could take much longer than expected and negotiated a clause in the S&P agreement for a deferred settlement. We felt Chris worked very hard for us and kept in touch throughout the whole sale process with regular phone calls and email updates. Chris used his negotiating skills to get us a price that we were really happy with. We would strongly recommend Chris Meban to any other seller wishing to sell a farm or lifestyle block. Many thanks for a good job well done.

From the time I first met Chris, I found him to be very approachable and easy to relate to. To his credit he was always very prompt at returning calls and acting on any of my concerns. And at times he went over and beyond the call of duty. The sales process for my lifestyle block has at times been a roller-coaster ride. We had buyers within three months of listing, but for various reasons the journey to final settlement has been a long, and sometimes fraught, one. Chris's unfailing support, along with his Kiwi farmer's dry sense of humour, has helped me greatly to cope with the delays and inevitable frustrations.

We were selling our run-off block of 15ha. We listed it with Chris and decided to put it out for tender as we have had some success with this selling method in the past. Chris listed it, arranged the advertising and contacted the prospective purchasers. We had previously had approaches from neighbours who wanted to purchase the block. Chris contacted them, showed them around the block, discussed the tender process with then and received the tenders. We got a very good result from the tenders and were very happy with the price it sold for.

Throughout the marketing and sales process, Chris stayed in constant contact and kept us fully informed at all times. We found him to be sincere, honest, transparent and always easy to contact. The whole experience was painless and the outcome exceeded our expectations. We would have no hesitation in recommending Chris to others.
