  • "It was a truly fantastic experience working with Peter and Tessa on our property deal. They were very proactive, efficient, and kept me well informed throughout, despite the time difference. You can tell the clients best interests were always looked out for with Peter, while Tessa was really on the ball - you knew things would be well taken care of and followed up on. With their superb guidance and professionalism, it certainly made the whole transaction a truly engaging and fantastic one."

    – S Chad, working with Louise & Peter

She went above and beyond to ensure the best outcome, and her positive attitude made the experience truly reassuring. Highly recommended."

    – Alberto Egido, working with Louise

My queries have been dealt with promptly and comprehensively, nothing seems to be a bother. The advice and information is researched and considered.

    – Jennifer Somerville

  • "We used Todd Walker when we bought our first home in Christchurch and found them to be amazing to work with and no question was left unanswered. They came highly recommended to us (hence the out of town use) and we can't recommend them highly enough! 5+ stars to the great service and advice, all for a reasonable price; you won't be disappointed with the great team they have! We will definitely be using them in the future."

    – Louise Scammell

  • "We have been working with Todd Walker since their inception, for both family matters and for our company. They are friendly and professional. Their knowledge of the local area has proven invaluable, and without their specialist input into a difficult resource management issue, we would not have had a happy resolution to that matter. We highly recommend the Todd Walker team for any property related advice."

    – Charles Roberts
