Testimonials

“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.”

“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)

 

“This was our first experience purchasing property in New Zealand. Vanessa and I were very impressed by the way your team handled the sale. You made the effort to come see us at work which we really appreciated, because it made our life so much easier. You were very easy to talk to and we were amazed how smooth the process was. You made our lives very easy, and we will always be grateful for that. We will be sure to refer you to anyone who will be interested in selling their property.”

Clifford & Vanessa (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!“

Sarah Robb (Vendor)

 

“We had the pleasure of working with Jake Wieblitz in purchasing our home. Jake at all times was extremely professional, polite and easy to work with. He was very responsive to all communications, providing all the information we needed, no matter how big or small the request was. Jake provided all information where he could, but also was clear when he had to seek information elsewhere, proving his integrity. We would have no hesitation in working with Jake again or recommending him to anyone else.”

“I was delighted to have Jacob as my agent as I found him to be very professional in any situation. His friendly manner in taking over the sale of the house was great. Jacob leaves no stone unturned and always kept me posted with progress. I would certainly recommend him as he gets the job done.”

Rosemary and Derrick Gregory (Vendors)

 

“When purchasing our home in Casebrook we found Jacob to be a friendly, approachable, honest and thorough agent.  While his primary function was to the Vendor he worked closely with us, assisted to get all the information we required and always kept us up to date with the progress of the transaction.  Post the sale Jacob has checked in with us several times to make sure everything was O.K and going well and to check if we had any questions or concerns. I would have no hesitation whether you are buying or selling to recommend Jacob as your Real Estate Agent.”
