As a first home buyer, I was quite anxious with the whole process of buying a house that I'd want to live in for a long time, but Jonathan made the process so much less stressful. Communication with him was great from day one. Very respectful, knowledgeable and open to answer all of my questions and worries. He always replied extremely fast! I was quite certain on my decision of not wanting to attend any home auctions, knowing the stress and money involved in getting ready for them. But after talking to Jonathan and having him explain to me different options, I decided to give it a go and I couldn't thank him enough because thanks to him I am now a home owner! Overall, my experience with Jonathan as a real estate agent has been absolutely excellent.

We've used Caleb to sell our property in the past and were so impressed we got him back for this one. He's professional, sharp, understands the market well, and has good advice. Very reliable and cheaper than the large companies but provides the same or better service and marketing.

From start to finish, the experience with Caleb and the team at Griffioen was outstanding. Communication was excellent across the whole team: regular updates, clear guidance at each stage, and really good seller-facing software that meant I always knew what was happening and what was coming next. It felt super organised and professional rather than reactive. On a personal level: the whole team was friendly, genuine, and a pleasure to deal with. A small but telling touch was turning up with refreshments while I was in the middle of interior painting; completely unnecessary, but hugely appreciated and very on-brand for how thoughtful and supportive Caleb was throughout the process. Caleb moved straight into action with the sale; with a few private viewings and an early offer before the property even officially hit the market! This immediately gave me confidence that the strategy was right on the mark. Marketing was strong across Trade Me and other online channels (including perfectly placed puns), generating good enquiry and healthy open home numbers. The auction process itself was handled brilliantly: well run, well promoted, and even half the neighbourhood was invited along (helped, no doubt, by Mr Whippy in attendance!). The atmosphere and competition this created absolutely contributed to a great result. All up, I would have no hesitation recommending Caleb, and his team, Jonathan and Allanah, to anyone selling in Christchurch. Professional, proactive, and genuinely great people to work with. 10 out of 5 stars!

Jonathan was the most welcoming real estate agent we have meet. Right from the get go he was chatty and open, made us feel like we were welcome in the open home and not just walking around some strangers home. From then on he was attentive and kind, taking care of all our questions and needs. If I were selling my home I would want someone charismatic and caring like him to represent me.

Working with Jonathan was such a positive experience from start to finish. He was professional,approachable, and genuinely supportive throughout our entire property journey.Nothing was too much trouble and he always took the time to explain clearly and keep us updated. Jonathan made the process feel smooth and stress free, and his friendly, down to earth approach really stood out. We are very grateful for all his help and would happily recommend Jonathon and the team at Griffioen to anyone buying or selling.

Purchasing our first home brought up some challenges that both Caleb and Jonathan worked through with us very professionally. It's common knowledge that the agent works for the vendor, but Caleb's ability to pivot to not only look after our best interests, but to go into bat for us and preserver with great tenacity was much appreciated! Thank you again to Caleb and his team.

I cannot recommend Caleb highly enough. He is a very clever agent with a great eye for seeing and maximising the potential of a property through his advice and marketing. Caleb was by our side from before we began renovations until the day we got a great result. He is genuine, honest, provides sound and measured advice, and is really committed to doing the best he can for his clients and buyers alike. Caleb and his awesome team made what was a very nerve-racking prospect feel much less intimidating. I would (and have!) recommended Caleb to everyone.

Selling my property from out of town could have been a stressful process, but Caleb and his team made everything surprisingly smooth and manageable. Because I wasn’t based in Christchurch, I relied heavily on their guidance and communication—and they delivered exceptionally well. The team coordinated the entire process, including liaising with my property manager, organising cleaning, arranging the repainting of the entire house, and ensuring the property was properly prepared for the market. They kept me updated at every stage and were always easy to reach, which gave me a lot of confidence despite the distance. What I appreciated most was their honesty, practical advice, and strong understanding of the local market. Their experience clearly made a positive difference. The sale went through efficiently and without unnecessary complications. I’m very grateful for all their help and would highly recommend Caleb and the team to anyone looking to sell—especially those who need reliable support to manage the process remotely.
