Team Rayner

Local Expertise, Global Connections

Matthew and Lillie Rayner bring two generations of experience and a shared commitment to their clients to every property they represent across Canterbury. Originally from the north of England, the Rayner family moved to New Zealand in 2010 and have called Canterbury home ever since. Matthew established and ran his own construction business for nearly eight years, giving him a practical understanding of property, presentation, and the value of trust and clear communication. Lillie grew up in the region, attending Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and competing as a track runner for Canterbury, giving her deep local knowledge and a genuine connection to the community. Together, they specialise in residential, lifestyle and premium rural property throughout Canterbury, with a growing focus on distinctive homes and estates in North Canterbury. Matthew’s calm, business-minded approach and market insight are complemented by Lillie’s discipline, energy and customer-focused background as a personal trainer and in face-to-face service roles. Matthew and Lillie believe successful real estate is built on relationships, discretion and understanding the individual goals behind every move. Working closely with buyers and sellers, they make sure every campaign is carefully considered and professionally executed, backed by the international reach of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty. As a father and daughter team, they put family at the heart of everything they do. The values of trust, dedication and hard work that shape their home life are the same ones they bring to every client.
