We recently sold our home with Mark and the experience could not have been smoother. From the first conversation to settlement, he was the picture of professionalism—well-prepared, knowledgeable about the selling options and up to date about the local market. He mapped out a clear sales strategy, explained each step in plain English, and offered practical advice on presentation and timing that made a real difference. HIs communication was excellent including proactive updates after every viewing, concise weekly summaries, and quick answers to any questions we had. We always knew where things stood and what was coming next, which took all the stress out of the process. Behind the scenes, he coordinated photography, marketing, open homes, and paperwork seamlessly, and he handled negotiations with calm confidence and integrity. Thanks to Mark, selling felt easy and well-managed from start to finish. We’re thrilled with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an agent

Mark and Tania were on the ball from the 1st engagement through the whole process of marketing and preparing us for the eventual sale The numbers tell of the reach of the marketing and contacts on getting the house for sale through a wide range of buyers. Auction day was a great response and excellent result

Mark is a straight talker who is easy to deal with. I am happy to work with Mark and would recommend him as a professional real estate agent to work with.

Mark was professional and easy to deal with

Mark worked diligently to secure a successful sales result. He conducted many open homes, with helpful follow up and feedback from each of these. We were always made aware of buyer requirements and communication was excellent throughout the campaign. We are very happy with how well Mark and the Harcourts system worked together to match the right home to the right owners.

Mark knew his stuff and had our house sold within 3 weeks, and even managed to get purchasers to up their offer by a few thousand. He was always approachable and helpful when we needed him. We would definitely recommend to other sellers. We have previously dealt with female Harcourts agents who always had gifts for us. Maybe Mark is waiting for us to write our review lol !!

In New Zealand, it’s a unique aspect of the real estate process that, as a buyer, you often have no choice in the agent you work with—unlike in some other jurisdictions. However, I was genuinely delighted that Mark was the representative for the vendor in my recent property purchase. Mark is a well-known figure in the Christchurch real estate scene, but what truly sets him apart is his generous commitment to the wider community. He dedicates significant time and expertise to supporting a range of local charities and fundraising efforts—something not every real estate professional takes the time to do. I believe this community-minded spirit is one of the great strengths that Mark brings to his professional service. Throughout the purchase process, everything was seamless. It was clear that Mark had a strong and respectful relationship with the vendor, which helped make the entire transaction smooth and straightforward. It was a genuine pleasure working with him, and I am thrilled with the property I was able to secure.

Mark and his team and Harcourts Strowan did an amazing job selling our new build for n Memorial ave. Mark is a professional and highly skilled Real Estate Agent who has always provided outstanding achievements for us. We couldn’t recommend Mark highly enough to anybody considering buying or selling a property.

Thanks to Mark O'Loughlin and the team at Harcourts Gold Strowan, for the successful sale of our townhouse to a purchaser who realised the value of buying a Jet Developments new-build townhouse. Mark was always keen to give advice and feedback to us during the marketing campaign; and his enthusiasm and commitment to the process ensured a great result for all parties.

Mark has vast experience in the realestate industry, working productively with Pierre. Mark is easy to work with and understands those he is working with/for. Fully recommended.

Mark has worked for us in the past both with buying and with selling of properties. We knew what to expect and were not disappointed. Along with his advanced market knowledge and experience Mark's skilled and honest communication is always appropriate for both buyers and sellers. His property appraisal and sale expectations are completely realistic. I was kept informed of progress at all times. Being elderly, I appreciated his friendly and helpful assistance prior, during, and following an auction and sale. The entire process was stress free and with excellent results. Mark is a most likeable kind and considerate person with boundless energy and enthusiasm for the job. His Harcourt Gold office Associates are also, at all times, professional and helpful. I highly recommend Mark Oloughlin's Real Estate services to Buyers and sellers in the Christchurch Property Market.

We only had phone contact with Mark, but found him to be Clear and concise. These dealings were both professional. friendly and honest.
