“Having bought and sold many properties over the years I have never had an agent as dedicated as Indi. Indi and her team went above and beyond what I would expect from an agent. Her work ethic leaves many others trailing well behind.”

Simon

“Excellent agent who cared about getting a good result for us. Very professional, enthusiastic, motivated and above all genuine. The agent, Indi Furze, went above and beyond to get a great result for us. She replied to any request we had very quickly, she offered us a clear strategy to secure the property and was so easy to work with. In this competitive market, when I had spoken to three or four agents before her, she stands out above the others as someone who works hard to get results but most importantly, she takes the time to listen to a client’s request. She is outstanding.”

Donald

“We dealt through Indi from the very start and would have to say was the best experience we had with viewing homes, we challenged Indi as we had a smaller budget than we would have liked and we were expecting at least 1-2 years looking for a home and amazingly Indi managed to land us in our first home in 4 months, couldn’t have asked for a better person to find us our home.”

Testimonials

“We have been delighted at the service we received from Jake. From the time we first contacted him – on a recommendation from a family member – we have been really impressed by his knowledge of the market, the quality of the marketing proposal and his level of communication throughout the entire process. Jake has been very approachable, very easy to deal with and managed to get a superb result for us.”

Sue & Stuart (Vendors)

 

“We had a really positive experience with Jake, Tom and the team. Communication was excellent the whole way through—they kept us in the loop, answered all our questions quickly, and made sure we always knew what was happening.  The deadline sale ended up being brought forward, and we were stoked with the price we got. Everything felt well-organised and under control. Would happily recommend to anyone needing someone reliable and easy to work with.”

Helen (Vendor)

 

“Jake is a very knowledgeable and professional real estate agent. My wife and I were amazed at his low pressure relaxed style of negotiating and dealing with people. Throughout the transaction in which Jake took a leading role, he was attentive to the issues we raised, quick to respond to queries and also helpful in providing advice when asked. The transaction went smoothly and at no time did we feel forced into making a quick decision. Indeed, Jake was happy to provide alternative options when asked but remained focused on getting us the best outcome for our particular circumstances. We have no hesitation in recommending Jake as an agent of integrity and high professional standards.”

Thomas & Rosalie (Purchasers)

 

“Selling my property in Spreydon was a seamless and rewarding experience, thanks to Jake Wieblitz. From the outset, his professionalism, expertise, and deep understanding of the market stood out. He guided me through every step of the process with clear communication and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome. His marketing strategy was on point, attracting strong interest and ensuring we had multiple buyers lined up. His negotiation skills were second to none, resulting in a fantastic sale price that exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was his dedication and responsiveness — always available to answer my questions, provide updates, and offer valuable advice. It truly felt like I had a trusted partner throughout the journey. If you’re looking to sell, I can’t recommend Jake Wieblitz highly enough. His expertise and personal touch made all the difference.”

Emmett (Vendor)

 

“We had lived at 2 Heberden Avenue some years earlier and fell in love with the location. Due to a series of events we needed to sell the property but did so with heavy hearts. We talked with Tom about selling our existing home and he provided us with detailed market information that helped us understand where our property sat in terms of the market. Tom was very realistic about the likely value of our house but was very respectful in the way he conveyed information. Tom competently guided us in finalising an offer for 2 Heberden Ave also obtaining an offer on our home conditional upon our purchase of Heberden. We were impressed throughout with Tom’s professional manner and his willingness to help us navigate the complexities of buying and selling property within a tight timeframe. We unreservedly recommend Team Tom & Jake and Cowdy to anyone who is thinking of a change in housing.”

Vaughan & Jane (Vendor & Purchaser)

 

“Profoundly punctual communication skills undoubtedly excellent, you tick all the boxes. Having met in mid-May our first inspection at Hume Street after travelling from our home on the Gold Coast to Christchurch, signing a contract same day, and explaining everything step by step gave us full confidence. Knowing a young capable agent was able to conduct our contract at all times was very important, in our absence back on the Gold Coast. Jacob, you held the deal together, when a couple of times we wanted to spit the dummy as logistics from the other side of the world were very stressful. We absolutely love our purchase.”

Sandra & Bruce (Purchasers)

 

“Jacob has been our agent for two sales now, both of which he went above and beyond for! The latter sale was a sentimental property that had been in our family for over 35 years and was very hard to let go of. However, Jacob ensured that all our needs were met and he exceeded our expectations both financially and emotionally.  His communication and ability to be extremely personable were just some of his strengths that stood out to us. There would be no hesitation to use Jacob again in future sales. He is without doubt one of the best agents in the region. Thank you for all your hard work Jacob!“

Testimonials

“Tom has been brilliant to deal with, honest, straight up and professional. Having sold and purchased many properties previously Tom has easily been one of the best we’ve had. If it wasn’t for Tom’s follow up call we would have overlooked this property so his proactive approach got a quick and clean deal done. Thanks Tom.”

Amie (Purchaser)

 

“I would highly recommend using Tom Rennie as a Christchurch Real Estate Agent to sell your property. Tom has strong communication skills and is easy to form a relationship with. Tom provides you with confidence during the sale process and actively managed aspects of the sale that were perhaps outside the scope of his role. Tom is a great agent, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.”

Rebecca (Vendor)

 

“Tom pulled out all the stops in what is a pretty tricky market at the moment.  He ensured right from the outset that he covered all potential buyer pools and then when things got tough at the end he nursed it to completion. Tom also makes the process easy because he is a friendly guy and has great comms throughout.  Would highly recommend using Tom and his team for your next sale. Thanks Tom!”

Daniel & Amber (Vendors)

 

“Tom did a great job with my house purchase. He was happy to accommodate all my queries and was very professional when it came down to the pointy end of the purchase negotiations etc. Tom always responded promptly with messages, phone calls and emails. With these big life decisions it made it much more pleasant having an agent like Tom in the picture.”
