About Ella Richardson

Selling or buying a home is never just a transaction — it’s a significant life moment. Whether it’s your first home, a long-planned investment, or the beginning of a new chapter, Ella is deeply committed to making that journey seamless, informed, and positive.

With over three years of real estate experience and a proven track record of going above and beyond for her clients, Ella brings a calm, confident presence to what can often feel like a daunting process. Known for her honest advice, tireless work ethic, and clear, consistent communication, Ella has earned a reputation for being the kind of agent who always puts people first — because for her, real estate is ultimately about relationships, trust, and doing what’s right.

Her high standards and attention to detail are matched by a strong moral compass — every decision she makes is guided by integrity and the best interests of her clients. From her first meeting with you to the final handshake (and well beyond), Ella is a steady hand, always working behind the scenes to ensure no stone is left unturned.

Having co-owned a construction company with her partner for the last six years, Ella understands the value of craftsmanship, presentation, and how to spot true potential in a property. Her earlier ventures — including running a successful cleaning business and working in hospitality and makeup artistry — reflect her natural drive to build things from the ground up and deliver exceptional results in every role she takes on.

Her background means she brings a rare blend of practical expertise, creative insight, and emotional intelligence — she knows that no two clients are the same, and listens carefully to what really matters to you.

Born and raised in Christchurch, Ella has deep roots in the community and a local’s knowledge of the region. She’s passionate about the city’s growth and is proud to help others build their future here.

Outside of real estate, family is her world. When she’s not working hard for her clients, she’s spending time with her children, enjoying great food and wine, or exploring the outdoors — hiking, road-tripping across the South Island, and making memories with the people she loves most.

Ella’s clients often describe her as warm, reliable, and relentlessly hardworking. But more than anything, they feel genuinely cared for — and that’s exactly how she wants you to feel too.

Testimonials
Very good at her job. Knew what was happening all the time- Craig
We recently had the pleasure of working with Ella Richardson from Ray White Real Estate to sell our house at 547 Harewood Road in Christchurch, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final closing, Ella's professionalism, dedication, and expertise were evident every step of the way. Ella took the time to understand our needs and provided valuable advice on how to best prepare our home for sale. Her marketing strategy was top-notch, showcasing our property in the best possible light and attracting a large number of potential buyers. Throughout the entire process, Ella kept us informed and promptly addressed any questions or concerns we had. Thanks to Ella's hard work and negotiation skills, we received multiple offers and ultimately sold our home for a price that exceeded our expectations. We truly appreciate her commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. We highly recommend Ella Richardson and the team at Ray White Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Christchurch. Her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients make her an outstanding real estate agent. Thank you, Ella, for making our home-selling experience a positive and rewarding one!- Phill and Robyn
I had the pleasure of working with Ella to sell my home, and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism and hustle. Having met Ella a year prior when she did a valuation on my house, she regularly kept in touch and was the first person I reached out to when I was ready to put my house on the market! Ella gave me great advice on pricing, staging, and marketing, which helped my home stand out. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process, keeping me updated on every step. Ella had to navigate some challenges that came up during the sale process, but I always felt assured that she had it under control. Thanks to Ella's hard work, I was able to get a good price for my house and sell within the deadline . I highly recommend Ella to anyone looking to sell their home. She really goes the extra mile for her clients!- Liberty
My Partner and I recently sold our property in Christchurch. We were recommended, Ella Richardson, from Ray White, as an agent. We weren't disappointed. We met Ella at our property and she impressed us with her professionalism and positive attitude. Ella was very confident she would sell our property (we chose an auction) and that is what she did. As we live in Australia, communication was very important and Ella kept us informed throughout the entire process. She arranged the marketing, staging, auction. Ella provided detailed feedback from open homes and followed up with all prospective buyers. The sale was stress free and we would recommend Ella, to anyone thinking of selling their property.- Russell and Narelle
