Really easy to deal with throughout the whole process. Communication was great, always quick to get back to me and kept everything straightforward. Made buying my first home a really easy experience. Would definitely recommend.
From the first phone call we knew Jarod was our guy. He was the perfect balance of professionalism and personable. A rare find in an estate agent. Always felt like he was on his game and being proactive throughout. Couldn’t rate him highly enough. You will be in a safe pair of hands with Jarod. Wish i had more houses to sell in Christchurch and put Jarod in charge. Cheers Peter

Friendly, helpful and prompt communication.
He communicated with us well and found us a buyer without the delay which would have occurred had the property been advertised.He was personable and understood our needs.
We really valued Kirstyn’s advice throughout the process and felt we could trust her market knowledge and recommendations. We were really happy with the outcome, her connections and understanding of the market made everything feel pretty easy and straightforward. She was great to deal with and made the whole process simple, especially with it being an off-market sale.

Taylor was dedicated in his commitment to find us a home. It took over three months because of the market and our narrow guidelines of what we wanted. Taylor was our buyers Agent and worked tirelessly in a time where there was not much stock on the market or sellers were unrealistic of their expectations.
Sean is always knowledgeable and keen to work to get the positive result. Definitely recommended.
I received excellent support throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and responsive, and the agent demonstrated great market knowledge and professionalism. I also appreciated their negotiation skills and never felt pressured. Highly recommended, especially for first-home buyers!
Such a great experience with Natalie from Cowdy. She worked around the clock to find us our home to purchase. I was honestly blown away with her enthusiasm and determination to find the right property. We would’ve been lost without her. Very thankful to her and the Cowdy team. Her level of professionalism is amazing as well as her ability to negotiate. I would be happy recommending her for buying or selling. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Natalie.
