About Adrian Cowie

“Living the village since 1961”

It has often been said that Selling or buying a home is one of the most stressful occasions in our lives. Invariably, it’s a mix of trepidation, anxiety, excitement, relief, and if you are selling, a little publicity too!
Adrian says his job is to first listen, then make your sale or purchase as easy, and stress free as possible. By capitalising on his professionalism and years of industry experience (Auckland and Christchurch), you will be put at ease, knowing that you are in capable hands, supported by the systems and expertise of your local Property Brokers team.
“I started my real estate career before the stock market crash of 1987, honing my negotiating and innovative marketing skills in an increasingly tight market over the succeeding few years. 1991 saw a relocation to Christchurch, where I specialised in the sale by auction, and marketing of new developments ‘off the plan’. I returned to Auckland to a sales management role with an International real estate company focused on the Auckland Chinese immigrant market which further developed my communication skills and appetite for yum cha! Having built a personal investment portfolio of over 20 residential tenancies in Auckland, Hawkes Bay, and Christchurch, I have wide ranging expertise and experience to assist you to achieve your investment goals.”
Adrian is born and bred Havelock North, attending Havelock primary, and as a foundation pupil of Havelock North intermediate and High schools.

Adrian has a friendly and professional manner that will afford you confidence and reassurance when making decisions regarding what is often your major asset.

Testimonials
Having purchased a property and sold my property with Adrian Cowie I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone buying or selling. Throughout both procedures I was kept well informed and given good advice re presentation etc. Together with Mike Shaw , Adrian advertised and presented my home extremely well enabling me to achieve an excellent result.-
Adrian did his job well and kept in touch with all new properties to the market and came in with the winner. We were very impressed with him and thought the gift of a fire extinguisher was a great idea. Well done.-
In early May, Beverley, my wife introduced Adrian to a potential vendor who intended moving into a Retirement Village, mainly due to substantial health issues. We hadn’t done previous business with Adrian although we had been to Open Homes and he also has done an appraisal on our home. We liked his “style” of approachability, professionalism and the consistent but non-intrusive manner in which he kept in touch with us. When it came to selecting a Real Estate Agency for marketing of the above vendor’s property, Bev’s friend asked for our advice and support as we had both been in Real Estate in bygone times, (Gisborne in the 80’s for us both) and myself in Napier in the early 90’s as Manager of Williams and Kettle (Real Estate Division). We know others in the industry, but we’re in no doubt that Adrian would be “just the person” and accordingly introduced him to C and J of Busby Hill, Havelock North. It was a major exercise for both parties as Cherry is a semi-invalid and the house was bulging with memorabilia and hoarded items and materials from Cherry’s past times of weaving, craft, dress making, knitting, art etc. During the marketing process John was absent overseas on a pre-arranged holiday, so much of the communicating was done through Bev and myself. Adrian handled the situation magnificently with efficiency, energy and sensitivity. The outcome resulted in a sale, move in the Retirement Village and peace and satisfaction and security for the Vendors. A couple of months later, in June, we were hit with the shattering news that our daughter and son-in-law has to sell their home because their Bank was about to foreclose on the Mortgage, following the failure of a business venture our son-in-law has bought into a couple of years earlier. It was a very stressful and anxious time and again we approached Adrian, explained the background and asked if he would be able to assist. Naturally he did so, but in this instance there was the pressure of time constraints, confidentiality and sensitivity. A realistic sale price was also important to our family members, for obvious reasons and after fairly minimal feedback, initially, Adrian was able to “come up trumps”. Again he was re-assuring, (without being over-confident), discreet and an effective negotiator in another positive outcome. Adrian had asked us to respond to a Property Brokers survey, online, recording our comments about his service and effectiveness, but being “techno phobes” we couldn’t bring it up on our computer, or delected it accidentally. Hence this letter which I feel will express our sentiments and heart-felt appreciation to Adrian, for more than a brief survey. Our thanks are extended beyond one salesperson who has done two fantastic jobs for friends and family, to the wider Property Brokers management and systems. We have been very impressed with our dealings with your organisation.-
Adrian was so good to us! We would highly recommend him to any of our friends and family if they ever needed a real estate agent! Adrian went above and beyond for us and we couldn't thank him enough, he was honest, genuine and so easy to work with! Thanks for everything Adrian, we would be more than happy to give a reference/testimonial for you anytime! And you better bring your dancing shows to our house warming!!!-
