Indi is one of the best agents we have dealt with. She and Dick Thomas were total professionals from start to finish. They were freely available to answer any queries and were easy to contact. Their market knowledge was excellent and they were easy going whilst getting everything done Selling or buying we would recommend Indi and Dick from Cowdys
Miranda is the best! She does what she says she’s going to do, when she says she’s going to do it and with complete skill and precision. Watching what Miranda can achieve was breath taking. You can put your trust in her to get a job done.
Tom was good at simplifying the purchase process. He was very helpful when we had some challenges with insurance. Always professional in a friendly way. Was not overbearing at all but was very responsive at the same time.
"My agent Leah was so compassionate, caring and respectful in the way she handled the sale of my late mum’s house. Her professionalism and empathy really showed. Leah was always early for open homes and stayed longer than needed. She worked so hard to get the house sold. I cannot thank Leah enough, she turned what could have been a highly stressful time into a smooth and easy experience."

We worked with Olly on the sale of our Merivale home. His communication throughout the process was excellent - we received regular feedback with good insights throughout the campaign. His approach to marketing was great, hitting the target market nicely. We really appreciated his warmth and professionalism. We were happy with the result and would definitely recommend Olly to any prospective sellers.
Zani knew the market well and was able to reassure me that there were properties I could move to before I put my property on the market. As a retiree this was very important to me.
Shona has been amazing from start to finish. She is caring and kind which makes the process so easy and smooth. She is organised and an excellent communicator who keeps you up to date. An easy process form start to finish and we would recommend Shona to everyone.
Easy to get the result
This was our second sale with Cameron and again he exceeded our expectations. The process of getting the house to market was incredibly well supported by Cameron and his backroom team, they are very professional and experts at what they do. We were delighted with the sale and would highly recommend Cameron and Harcourts to anyone selling a property in Christchurch.
Chloe did an amazing job helping our family find our next home, she went above and beyond by supporting us throughout the entire process and has become a friend through the process also! Thanks Chloe

With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies.
