Tom was exactly what we needed in a real estate agent. He didn’t overpromise anything, but he did exactly what he said he would do, and did it bloody well. He kept us updated every step of the way, with texts after every open home, regular calls and messages to check in, and great advice throughout the whole process. Selling can feel overwhelming, but Tom made it easy. More importantly, he made it easy for us to make decisions because he explained everything clearly, kept on top of the communication, and made sure we always knew how things were tracking. He was honest, practical, easy to deal with, and a great negotiator. He also managed to get us more than we were hoping for, and that is always a win. We’d happily recommend Tom to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Hardworking agent with great communication and strong market knowledge.

Tom was the only real estate agent I dealt with in my purchase this wheat who picked up the phone almost every time. And when he didn’t answer he made sure to call me back. This makes Tom stand out among his peers and was a pleasure to deal with on the buying side.

Another fantastic result from arguably one of Christchurch most professional and down to earth agents. A slightly challenging sell due to the layout of our home. There was never doubt, and they showed true persistence to getting the sale done

We couldn’t recommend Tom highly enough! From start to finish, he provided personal, high-quality service. His communication was excellent; he kept us informed every step of the way and made the process stress-free. He went above and beyond, offering great advice, support, and demonstrating excellent knowledge of the market. Professional, approachable, and calm in manner, he was dedicated to helping us purchase our home in Christchurch.

Very smooth process

We just sold a rental property with Tom and Jake. We honestly couldn’t be happier. They really know there stuff and made the whole process feel easy from start to finish. What we appreciated most was how stress-free everything was. They kept us in the loop, explained things clearly, and just made the whole thing feel way less daunting than we expected. Super professional, great to deal with, and genuinely a great guys. Would happily recommend them to anyone thinking about selling.

Jake and Tom were efficient communicative and moved at my pace.

Our sale was long due earthquake issues and health issues. Tom was there all the way providing support in a very professional and timely manner. We would recommend Tom as your sales agent. He is easy to work with has contacts that can achieve the best outcome.

Tom and Jake were fantastic to deal with. Nothing was an issue for them. They communicated well and provided valuable, timely advice / feedback throughout the process, even making themselves available when needed while overseas on holiday. We’re really happy with the sale and understand the purchasers are too. I would highly recommend and will work with them again.

My wife and I recently relocated to Christchurch and, as experienced property investors, we were initially disheartened by the level of service we encountered—until we met Tom Rennie from Cowdey Real Estate. From the outset, Tom stood out. He was realistic, professional, and refreshingly down-to-earth. He worked tirelessly on our behalf and consistently went above and beyond expectations. Everything he promised, he delivered. Our property sold within the timeframe Tom had projected, and we achieved the price we had hoped for. What truly sets Tom apart is his integrity and commitment. When our home sold quickly, we found ourselves needing short-term accommodation. Despite having no financial incentive, Tom took it upon himself to help us secure a rental. He also assisted us in purchasing our new home—again, through another agent and with no personal gain. Tom’s dedication, honesty, and genuine care made a stressful process smooth and successful. We cannot recommend him highly enough. —Paul & Sarah Holland
