Tonya Cowlishaw

Our family was needing to sell our parents' home, after they had both passed away. Obviously, this was a difficult undertaking for us all, but Tonya made the whole process so much easier. She showed empathy and caring, while still showing complete professionalism. It ended up being a somewhat complicated business, as dealing with five different individuals can only be, but she kept continual contact with us regarding any and all interest shown in the property, in a very timely manner. We found her to be very hard working and obviously she got us the result we needed and that we were all happy with. We totally recommend her as an agent and we enjoyed working with her.

Excellent sale

Tonya made every effort to achieve a good result for us and kept us informed all of the time and made a bigger effort than other realestate people we have dealt with in the past Allan Adcock

An all round first class service

From the very beginning of our dealings with Tonya she displayed exceptional efficiency and good customer service. Nothing was too much trouble and she was honest and always available even out of office hours. We have met many estate agents both in NZ and the UK and she is certainly one of the best and one we would be very happy to engage in the future.

If you want something done ask Tonya to do it.

Tonya is bright and breezy, communicates well and her enthusiasm is infectious. Our selling experience was positive and painless and ended with a great result. What more could you ask?
