Emily Smith
Residential and Lifestyle SalesEmily Smith is forging her way to the top of her profession, with three years of dedicated experience selling residential and lifestyle properties in Ashburton. Since stepping into sales, Emily has built a reputation for her meticulous attention to detail and tireless commitment to leaving no stone unturned - qualities that consistently deliver outstanding results for her clients.
Emily began her real estate journey as a personal assistant in the Bayleys Christchurch office, gaining invaluable behind-the-scenes insight into the industry. After obtaining her license, she quickly transitioned into sales, where she has thrived by combining her deep industry knowledge with a client-focused approach.
Real estate runs in Emily’s blood. With both her mother and grandfather having enjoyed successful careers in the industry, she brings a generational understanding of what it takes to succeed. Her rural upbringing on a Central Otago farm, along with time spent as a governess on a remote Australian station, has shaped her strong work ethic, resilience, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
Giving back is an important part of Emily’s business philosophy. With every property sale, she makes a financial contribution to the Dear Effie Trust, supporting local children and families in need. She is also a proud supporter of the Tinwald Golf Club, recognising the importance of community spaces that bring people together. Emily’s involvement reflects her genuine commitment to making a positive impact beyond real estate.
Emily majored in Communications at Otago University, equipping her with strong communication skills that enhance every client interaction. She knows that buying or selling a property is a major life decision, and she prides herself on providing transparent advice and exceptional service throughout the process.
Known for her professionalism, drive, and people-first approach, Emily is passionate about helping clients achieve their property goals while building lasting relationships in her community. “Buying or selling property is not something people do every day, and it’s a big deal. We understand that great communication is crucial to helping clients feel comfortable and helping them to get the outcome they want.” - Emily Smith
