Fantastic experience: Exceptional Service and a Great Result. We recently had the pleasure of working with Susie McLeod from McLeod Rest Estate to sell our home and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Susie was extremely professional throughout the entire process, with excellent communication and a respectful, friendly approach. She kept us well informed at every stage and made what can be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. We really appreciated her dedication and attention to detail and would highly recommend Susie to anyone looking to sell their property.

Cindy Hayward Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Competent and Courteous. I was delighted to deal with Susie: from first glimpse of this stunning property to the successful purchase conclusion. Clear communication, attention to detail, industry knowledge all wrapped up with efficiency was impressive. I would highly recommend Susie of McLeod Real Estate to handle your exciting purchase (and selling) process.

Fantastic experience: We asked Angela to sell my elderly mother's house in Ashburton, after she had come highly recommended to us. Angela spent a lot of time to get to know Mum during the sales process, and her extremely caring and thoughtful nature meant that Mum felt really comfortable throughout, and we knew she was in excellent hands. We were very keen on a quick sale, and Angela helped us through the process to present the property effectively and price it to sell promptly. Mum was delighted to receive an offer within 4 days of the property being on the market, and she was happy to accept this. Thank you Angela for making the entire sales process such a smooth one for our family, we cannot recommend you highly enough!

She was so amazing to work with. She took the time to clearly explain each step of the process, ensured all questions were addressed promptly, and managed every aspect of the transaction with efficiency and care.

Fantastic experience: Personal, friendly and prompt service with good market knowledge. When first entering the office you receive a very warm welcome from CM in reception. A short wait to see Clark McLeod with an informative brief on the property with some good market advice for us to consider. Returned the next day to place an offer and again got good advice regarding the presentation of the offer. Within 24 hours Clark rang to advise we were the successful bidders. Excellent result all round.

Looking forward to assisting you with any future real estate needs!

Fantastic experience: The most genuine realtor you could find! Amazing service and 10/10!! We couldn’t be happier with Susie McLeod as the agent we chose to help us with selling our first home and helping our family into a bigger and better home. Her care and empathy was obvious from our first meeting and she made us so comfortable we didn’t consider for one second we weren’t in the best hands. When we missed out on purchasing the first home we looked at, Susie helped us be confident in our plans and supported us throughout our journey. Brilliant communication and extremely personable, Susie made us feel less like we were just clients and more like we were all on the journey together. The whole experience for us went so smoothly, and for her part in making our shift to a larger family home, a simple thank you is not enough. If you ever want someone to be truly dedicated to helping your family with their property dreams - don’t look past Susie! If there ever comes a time when we need to utilise a realtor again, Susie will be the first name I think of Thank you so much and all the very best from the Hill Family

Fantastic experience: Outstanding First Home Buyers Experience with Marelize. Marelize was excellent to work with. She was informative, punctual and readily available for anything we needed. She went out of her way to constantly support and guide us through the home-buying process. As this was our first home the whole process of home buying seemed daunting. Marelize, was constantly there to answer questions no matter the time of day and guide us through the process with ease. She readily contacted the Vendor promptly answering any questions we had. I couldn't recommend Marelize any more highly in real estate.

Fantastic experience: Being a First Home Buyer is a daunting experience, but Angela from McLeod Real Estate made it sooo much easier and more pleasurable! Right from the start Angela was so lovely and helpful, right throughout the process she couldn't have been more helpful even being available on a public holiday!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I are relocating to Ashburton and were looking for rental housing. It was not an easy process finding a house in the limited rental housing market in the area and also finding a good, experienced property manager. That was until we met Anita Twamley of McLeod Real Estate. She is very professional, honest, and willing to go the extra mile to meet our inquiries or requests. She truly takes pride in and is passionate about her profession as a Property Manager. Originally from Palo Alto, USA, we were not familiar with the rental process in New Zealand. Anita took the time to explain the entire rental process to us, from the initial search to signing the contract. We sincerely appreciate your assistance, Anita. More power to you!

Negative experience: Total useless and worth not dealing with them - as we gave them clean unconditional offer before 2 years for a property at ASKING PRICE and then never returned a call…. Would never buy or sell through these people… only one dealing was enough….

Hi “R Nick” we have no record of you dealing with our company. I am a little confused with your message. I would be happy to discuss any real estate experience you may have had when buying a property. It is an offence for a real estate agency to withhold any offer. If you have had such an experience with any agency, you are best to make a formal complaint to the Real Estate Agency Authority. https://www.rea.govt.nz
