Slide 1 of 24

Jonathan was excellent to deal with. We put both properties in his capable hands and he didn't let us down. I believe Jonathan has the gift of being able to work between both the vendor and the buyer in a professional yet personable way. Nothing was an issue and Jonathan worked tirelessly to achieve a result for both parties on both properties. I cannot recommend Jonathan's services highly enough. We are very happy vendors.

Andy & Jo

We couldn’t be happier with the final result. Jonathan Curragh recently sold our family home and exceeded our expectations. His professionalism and service was first-class. After one weekend of open homes, he presented a fantastic offer which we accepted and signed on the bonnet of our car at the airport before we flew out to Fiji. What a great way to start our holiday. Jonathan made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, reassuring us every step of the way. Jonathan is personable and honest and we can't speak highly enough of his dedication to getting the best result.

Jason and Anita

We interviewed a number of agents to sell our home but right from the get-go Jonathan’s commitment, transparency, attention to detail but most importantly his honesty were all evident. Selling your family home is a very emotional time but Jonathan made us feel like we were the most important clients he had and that selling our property was the most important thing in his world at that point in time. At every stage of selling our family home he kept us well-informed, we couldn’t have asked for better communication throughout the whole process. It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside Jonathan and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of a first-class agent that speaks the truth, has absolute integrity and isn’t just feeding you a line.

B Yates

Thank you so much for all that you did for us in selling our home. You were so amazingly upbeat and positive about it selling despite some frustrating moments. You made the selling journey a great experience for us. Just feeling a little sad tonight now that settlement has happened. So many memories and so many hours and years making it ours. Thank you for the amazing basket of goodies you gave us to help us celebrate the sale. I wish you all the best in the coming months and years. May you have heaps of success in the real estate market. Thanks again Jonny.

Coralie

Right from start to finish, we were really impressed with Jonathan’s professionalism throughout the sale of our home. The decision to trust him with our largest asset was well rewarded. This advice and calm approach was exactly what we needed. From the initial contact, through the marketing, to the fantastic result, we were well advised and kept informed. We are packing up and looking forward to our next stage in life. Well done and thanks again.

Sandra and Hamish

We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years and dealt with even more land agents. Jonathan Curragh would rank up there with the top agents. He was always available or returned calls promptly. When a few issues were highlighted in the Builder's Report he had tradesmen around the next day. As we were relocating from another area he relayed any questions and got the answers quickly and kept us fully informed. A pleasure to deal with and we would not hesitate to recommend him.

John Smeaton

My wife and I recently purchased a property from Jonathan. Our negotiations with him were amicable, fully informed and thoroughly professional. An outcome satisfactory to both parties was reached in a friendly and efficient manner. On moving to the property, we found it clean, tidy and in pristine condition. This really was appreciated and softened the stress of moving in all the furniture and chattels. Thank you Jonathan.

Mark and Joanne Buckenham

Wendy and Gerhard Zitzenbacher

Choosing Jonathan to sell our house was a really good decision for us. He wasn't at all pushy and made it clear from the start that he wanted to get the best result for us. His attention to the finer details, for example: how our house was presented for photography and really thoughtful placement of feature marketing in real estate publications made all the difference. His follow up after open homes and his communication throughout the whole process was excellent. He even made the auction day as stress free as possible. I will definitely be recommending Jonathan to anyone looking for recommendations.

Nick and Marie Parsons

This is part of an email I sent to Jonathan after my sale: .... let me thank you for being such a brilliant agent, you made a very stressful process less stressful, with your kind and respectful manner, sense of humor and wise advice, and for effortlessly going the extra mile for me and mine. I feel very very grateful that you did a maildrop in my area after selling Somerfield Street, and I know that I will be singing your praises for a very long time ...

Zoe & Richard Sewell

With living away from Christchurch and having elderly parents deciding it was time to move into a smaller property, we put faith in Wendy and Jonathan to not only work hard to obtain a sale but also have rapport and understanding for our parents who had lived in their family home many years, and they did just that, making this process as stress-free as possible. Well done team and thanks again. We have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan and Wendy and we would use them again without hesitation.

Peter and Susan

Amanda and Chris

My husband and I owned an ‘as is where is’ modernist townhouse, which we had been trying to sell for some time. We were concerned and unsure how to approach the sale of this property. We engaged Jonathan to sell on our behalf and were immediately impressed with his ability to put us at ease, and the depth of his market knowledge was second to none. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and involving Jonathan in the sale of another property in the future. We enjoyed the process of selling our house with all involved.
