Real Estate is Dougal’s chosen career, a career path inspired by his father’s successful local Real Estate Company, Boyd Real Estate Ltd. Having qualified as a valuer, Dougal began working for his father in 1990, taking over the company in 1996. In 2005 he amalgamated with Harcourts Phoenix, seeing this as an opportunity to once again expand both his own horizons and those of his staff.

A RESIDENTIAL AND LIFESTYLE SPECIALIST Dougal specialises in residential properties and lifestyle blocks. Dougal now lives in the City with his three children, and is a long standing committee member of the University of Canterbury Children’s Athletics Club. He is a passionate jet boater, water and snow skier, ex rugby player; combined, these connections have allowed him to develop a strong local network of contacts.

A childhood spent growing up in rural Lincoln and his many years working as a rural valuer have developed his natural love of the land and a vast amount of local knowledge. This combination serves him well when dealing with both rural and urban properties.

He delivers a totally consultative approach with honesty, commitment and integrity; the hallmarks of his reputation. His service and style is completely genuine and delivered in a relaxed manner with an easy humour.

CLIENTS TALK.... “Dougal recently and successfully sold my home and assisted me in the purchase of another. Throughout the process I had complete confidence in his ability to deliver the best possible outcome and service. Dougal communicated well and at all times I felt fully informed. He delivered sound advice in a sincere and respectful manner. He worked hard and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome. The most important thing for me was the lack of stress. Dougal’s quiet confidence and obvious market knowledge and experience was apparent both in the sale and purchase process. Ultimately, Dougal delivered a successful sale far exceeding my expectations and found me a new home. He did this all with integrity and clarity throughout. I would not hesitate in recommending Dougal as an agent; I certainly won’t be looking elsewhere should I need the services of a real estate agent again”. Toni Duffy

“We were very pleased with the outcome of our house sale, which was achieved by Dougal through ‘damn good advice’ and relationships managed throughout the marketing phase. Dougal went further than this though and became our representative on the ground to get the small things done that came up because we were out of town. With respect to the overall experience, we were confident that Dougal was on the field and a committed player in the game for us. This resulted in a sale above our expectation”. Raving Fans Darryl Tracy and Tracy Evans-Tracy

“The entire process of listing and selling the house with Dougal was a very supportive and professional experience. Dougal gave us good advice during the process and kept us well informed at all times. Every time I spoke to Dougal he was always encouraging, friendly and positive. He achieved a good selling price for us within a short time. We were very impressed with his marketing and his happy friendly manner. We would recommend Dougal to anyone wishing to sell their home”. Elaine, Adele, Dean Harwood

“We listed our family home for sale by auction, with Dougal. I always got prompt feedback following the open homes and felt that Dougal was following up any interested parties. I’ve always felt communication lines were good with Dougal whether by phone or text messages. Information was always given in a friendly manner. Dougal was also very helpful assisting me with viewing my new home and helping me to complete the successful offer. Our previous family home had been purchased with Dougal in1992 and sold with his help in 1996 and we have recommended him to others. Throughout this latest process I felt Dougal was professional and honest and I would not hesitate to request Dougal’s assistance with future property sales”. Julie Hargraves.
