Nick was extremely easy to deal with during the purchase of the property. From the initial contact to the final sale, he was easy to communicate with and accommodated our needs or requests. Nick had good knowledge of the market. He was professionally and not overbearing or pushy when it came to the purchase. It was a pleasure dealing with Nick and we would definitely consider using him for any future real estate needs.
Nick was very responsive from the outset and made time for me with short notice. He helped with any questions that came up and was always available to help. Had a good understanding of the development and if he was not sure, then he would look it up and confirm
We had a really great experience working with Nick & Indi when selling our home. From start to finish, their communication was clear, timely, and easy to follow, which made the whole process feel a lot less stressful. They kept us in the loop every step of the way and were always happy to answer questions or talk things through. We were also really pleased with the final result—they worked hard to get a great outcome for us. We’d happily recommend Nick & Indi to anyone looking to buy or sell. They’re professional, approachable, and genuinely great to deal with.
Throughout our experience working together, Nick demonstrated a strong sense of integrity and transparency. They consistently acted in an honest and ethical manner, ensuring that all information was communicated clearly and accurately. This made the entire process smooth and gave us complete confidence in the decisions we were making.
Nick communicated clearly and reflectively. He was very passionate and very committed and has extensive knowledge. At the same time he was very responsive to our ideas, our questions and the emotional process for us of selling our family home of 67 years. We felt very confident that we were in the right hands all the way through the process and believe we could not have achieved a better experience or outcome from anyone else. Our house was, or rather is very unique as it is a very early Warren and Mahoney and first time on the market since being built. There was a lot to think about in terms of presenting its uniqueness to the market. This was done expertly and sensitively in all marketing materials, outlining it's contextual history beautifully. The extensive interest in the property and method of deadline sale required a lot of work with expert negotiation and presentation skills and commitment. We are extremely lucky to have chosen Nick as our agent and couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Unfortunately, our experience as buyers was frustrating. From the outset, we were given conflicting information between the agent and the vendor, which made it difficult to understand what was actually possible. While Nick was helpful initially, communication became noticeably less helpful after the deposit was received. Proposed settlement dates were discussed and agreed, only to be declined only once being confirmed by solicitors. Our final inspection was refused on two proposed dates — one declined by the vendor and another declined by the agent — which forced us to cancel work commitments. Our lawyers advised that refusing reasonable final inspection access was not consistent with contractual obligations. Pre-settlement access was denied, and even after settlement was completed, access to the property was delayed by approximately an hour and a half after legally owning the house. Overall, the process lacked clarity, consistency, and cooperation.
Nick gave us a wonderful viewing experience coloured by his knowledge and passion for the mid century architecture. He was very accomodating in respect of arranging our viewings. Nick was very professional in respect of the fine line of negotiation while still being very helpful.
Due to Nick's interest and knowledge of architecture and architects and with a rather unique house to sell, his experience was invaluable. His knowledge of mid-century design was evident when he could point out many features, details and construction materials along with the rationale behind them - important to a descerning prospective purchase. To us, as clients, Nick provided feedback following each open home, he was at all times respectful, and genuinely enthusiastic about the propsect of finding the right owner for this home. Nick was ably supported by Indi who was equally enthusiastic We certainly feel both performed excellently, achieving a result beyond our expectations thanks to their professionalism and Nick's appreciation of the property. Definately the right real estate to sell this significant property.
Nick and the team at Cowdy & Co were fantastic in providing end to end support throughout the sales preparation and process resulting in an excellent sale result. All the vendors were remote from Christchurch (and in multiple time zones) and unable to attend nor manage suppliers as the property was prepared for presentation to the market. Throughout the marketing process updates were regular and valuable to allow us to track potential purchasers and understand their feedback etc. Thanks again Nick
Nick and Indi were great to work with. Living overseas during the sale meant everything was communicated online and we had no issues. They were grounded and honest with their recommendations, they kept us well informed throughout the entire process and everything felt very easy. We got a great result and would absolutely work with them again
Huge thanks to Nick and Indi from Cowdy’s for making our house sale such a smooth and stress-free process! They were friendly, professional, and kept us updated every step of the way. The auction went brilliantly — couldn’t have asked for a better team!
I’ve worked with Nick and Indi on a number of property sales, and this latest one was another solid result. Even though there weren’t many buyers interested in this particular area and price range coming through the open homes, they managed the process well and achieved a good price. Communication is always clear, the process runs smoothly, and I know what to expect when I list with them. It’s that consistency over several sales that keeps me coming back.
