Welcome to Tim Baker Real Estate
We live local and sell local.
We live and work in Aranui and East Christchurch. That local knowledge helps us guide pricing, marketing, and buyer engagement in a way that reflects the realities of the area.
Focusing on Quality over Quantity.
At Tim Baker Real Estate, we’ve built our business around a simple idea — real estate should be straightforward, transparent, and tailored to each client.
Which is why we consciously limit the number of properties we list at a time so we can give each one the attention it deserves and help it stand out from others on the market with our unique branding.
Dedication to gaining the best outcome for your property with personalised service. From listing to settlement, you have our full attention.
Maximize Your Returns
With a low commission structure and tailored marketing plans, we help you manage your selling costs while still reaching active buyers.
At just 1.25% + $500 admin fee + GST + marketing, we have one of the lowest billing rates in Christchurch.
Check out our savings calculator below to see how much more of your property’s value stays where it belongs – in your pocket when you list with us.

- With competitive rates and tailored marketing strategies, we help you gain the attention of serious buyers whilst keeping your expenses under control.
- We have partnered with the largest property platform (Trade Me) to ensure your property is one of the first to be seen in the area and by buyers looking for homes like yours, now!
