I also assist buyers to make the best possible property purchase with the minimum of fuss. I have an effective process to help you buy a property based on our expertise in:

• Identifying your requirements.
• Property search & inspections.
• Determining fair market value.
• Financing.
• Purchase agreements & contract negotiation.

Our approach includes:

1. An initial meeting at my office to understand in detail your requirements and a computer search of Harcourts and others current property listings.
2. Inspection with you of a short list of properties that you determine may match your requirements.
3. Keeping you up-to-the minute with new listings, for example via Harcourts "Listing Alerts"/saved searches.
4. Ongoing inspection of suitable options until you find your ideal property.
5. Providing advice on finance & other matters, and referring you to the most appropriate sources for specialist advice (e.g. mortgage broker, lawyer, property inspector, builders, etc.) as required.
6. Writing up an offer to purchase.
7. Negotiation with the seller(s) and their sales person.
8. Successful completion of a Sale and Purchase Agreement.
9. Continuing to provide you with service in your future property buying and selling.

What My Buyer Clients Say: 

 “Returning to Christchurch after 6 years spent living in the UK meant we were out of touch with the current market trends and prices.  While still in the UK, looking at houses via the internet and emailing a few agents with queries, Dave Adam proactively offered to act on our behalf. 

Along with his Buyers’ Consultant Lewis Winn, we were able to arrange a number of viewings in advance of us returning home which meant we hit the ground running.    Finding somewhere to live was a priority for us and Lewis and Dave were a key part of this.  We received sound, expert advice throughout our search and throughout the negotiation process.  We successfully managed to secure a purchase and move into our new house a little more than a month after arriving home.

"I have recently been through the house buying process with Sue and Dave's help. They spent quite some time, and lots of open homes, helping me to hone in on what I was looking for. I found the Harcourts notifiers of much more value than other websites I used. It has so much information, that you can save lots of time, and cast aside those not fitting your criteria without having to do any more research.

So, once you find what you are looking for, the real work begins. I found this place during its first open home weekend, deadline treaty being the following week. We had to do some fast thinking, once we were advised it was a multi offer with six other offers going in! And a fairly buoyant market!

 "Having sold a house through Dave we approached him again to buy a property - which we did. He was prepared to show us all we wanted from all companies, organising this for us. There was no pressure to buy but pros and cons on each property were discussed. I felt he knew who we were, therefore he understood what we wanted or needed and could advise us on the best deals. It was a painless experience which when dealing with real estate business is very valuable. We will use Dave again." - Adrienne & David Scobie

"Recently my husband and I purchased a second property with the wonderful help of Dave Adam, Senior Sales Consultant, through Harcourts. His professional advice and knowledge in the real estate business was very impressive and helped us make our first steps into owning a rental property very easy.

We have dealt with real estate agents over the last ten years and have never come across anyone as professional and experienced as Dave Adam. He went out of his way and spent time with us giving expert and accurate advice on the real estate market.

We will not hesitate to contact Dave in the future if we require his assistance in buying or selling property. We highly recommend Dave to anyone buying or selling real estate. He is an honest and reliable man which made keeping time and schedules easy." - Lance and Gina Dowell

"Dave was professional and helpful from the moment our property search began. We were on a limited time frame and he quickly helped us to screen suitable properties. On the auction day we discussed how to approach the auction and were delighted with the final outcome [bought under the hammer by phone bidding] as our search was over within a week of it beginning." - Sarah Greaney

"We began looking for a property to buy soon after arriving in Christchurch from Brisbane. Dave and Sue really looked after us from the outset. We were shown a good range of homes to help us narrow down our search criteria and this was a long process for us, with Dave extremely patient and helpful. We learnt so much about the local market from him, having come in with virtually no knowledge at all.

When we found a home that suited us perfectly Dave assisted us every step of the way through the auction process. With his help and encouragement we were successful buyers at auction and are thrilled with our new home. We are very grateful for all the time and effort Dave put into finding us a wonderful home and recommend him without reservation." - Andrew & Andrea Harvey

"We have recently moved to NZ from Australia and were finding it difficult to locate the right home for our family. We asked Dave Adam to help us with our search and we found him to be extremely professional as a Real Estate Agent. He came across as a very friendly honest agent, and communicated well with us. We highly recommend Dave Adam to anyone wishing to buy or sell their house." - Brett & Penny Reiss

"Dave helped us to purchase an investment property that was pretty much exactly what we were looking for. He listened to our needs, searched for and showed us options, and found us a suitable property. His negotiating skills and attention to detail during the purchase process were instrumental in settling the deal." - Daryll & Barbara Thomson

"Sue helped me find my first house. She made a great effort to research properties, make suggestions and liaised with other agents as required. She was in frequent contact and kept me informed at all times. Many thanks, Sue." - Danielle Brown

"We found Dave Adam to be extremely professional as a Real Estate Agent. He came across as very friendly and communicated well with us. We highly recommend Dave Adam to anyone wishing to buy or sell their house." - Jeremy Thomas and Kim Batchelor

"After a referral from my parents, we engaged Sue (Dave's Buyers Agent) to help us urgently find a suitable property in Christchurch, as we were relocating from Palmerston North. Being out of town it is always very difficult to deal with many different agents as we had limited time available for house hunting.

We were able to search for houses that met our criteria over the internet and email Sue, regardless of the agency selling to house and she, often with less than 24 hours notice, very efficiently arranged a number of houses for us to view on our fleeting visits. This made the process of finding a house relatively straight forward.

Since the purchase of our new property, Sue as been very helpful and efficient in terms of helping us find out bits of additional information about the house which we needed to know in advance of moving in.

We have now moved into our new home and are settling in. Thank you Sue for helping us find a house that met our relatively demanding criteria and making it happen in a short timeframe! We really appreciate it." - Grant & Francesca Matthews

" Having arrived from England 5 weeks earlier and keen to purchase as soon as possible, we had looked at a lot of houses & not found one suitable. We were fortunate enough to be introduced to Sue (Dave's PA) who was able to show us through several houses that met our criteria. And we found our 1/4 acre dream with Sue in 2 days!

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sue to anyone needing exceptional personal service to find their dream place. From Dave, we appreciated the sound advice pointing out the current market in New Zealand, negotiating the sale and enabling us to go through the procedure painlessly." - The Moore Family

"Recently Dave approached us with a very interesting and exciting phone message, leading to us purchasing some properties from him. At our first point of contact with him he took the time to introduce himself and listen to what we were interested in & looking for.

During this period we found Dave to be very honest and, although he was working for the seller, we also felt he had our best interests at heart and freely offered suggestions & options for developing. At no time did we ever feel pressured or rushed into making any decisions. All the negotiations were handled very professionally, and at all stages we knew what was happening. He was quick to respond to our questions and the information we received back was always factual and what we requested.

We would have no hesitation in using Dave again in the future, and in recommending Dave to people looking to purchase their family home, or for an investment/development property." - Keryn Webster
