Ask Rowan how he made up his mind to work in real estate and he'll have a ready answer… "It's just the standard Queenstown route...track guide, ski instructor, jet boat driver!"

And as anybody in the team at hoamz can tell you, there's not much wrong with that. Rowan's been learning the ins and outs of the area since he first arrived in 1991.

In those days he was back-to-backing ski jobs between European and Kiwi winters as a precursor to a 'real job' in tourism sales and marketing.

Not that he let a little thing like work get in the way of traveling, though the Pacific got the brunt of the McDonald effect with long-term, Queenstown-based roles that brought Fiji and Australia onto his resume.

As a seventh-generation McDonald from Outram, near Dunedin, Rowan knows the value of belonging, and made the decision to put down roots in Queenstown a long time ago.

These days he's a well-known member of the community and, like the rest of the team at hoamz, a part of the furniture.

That's not to say he doesn't like getting away now and again.

"I'm right into hanging out with my nieces and nephews, Finn, almost 4, Caitlin two-and-a-half and Meg, who's one. They're very cool, Finn and Meg live in Outram and Caitlin lives in Dunedin," he says.

Looks like there'll be young McDonald descendants visiting Uncle Rowan for some years to come then!

Veronica and I would like to Thank You for your dedication and professional yet pleasant assistance in helping us purchase our rental property last week. It was a true pleasure working with you and we'll certainly come back to you and Hoamz for any additional purchases in future.

Testimonial

Date: September 2007

In the last 6 months we have sold our home and bought a section, co-incidentally both of these transactions were through Rowan McDonald.

Rowan was always a pleasure to deal with and we felt that he was really on our side throughout the whole process. He achieved the ideal balance between keeping us informed as the situation required, whilst never being too "in your face" as many Real Estate agents are, making what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process as hassle-free as it ever could be. Something else that set Rowan's service apart was his ability to really listen to our needs and not try to sell us property that we were not interested in.

Once everything was signed and sealed, Rowan thoughtfully called in with a little thank you, which was as appreciated as it was unexpected.

We didn't have a mansion to sell, nor were we buying at Queenstown's high-end, but we were made to feel like valued and preferred customers.

We will definitely look to Rowan when we make our next move.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of meeting Rowan McDonald at an Open Home he was holding in Lake Hayes Estate. At our initial meeting we found Rowan to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable about residences for sale in and around Queenstown. 

Over the following few weeks, we very much appreciated that Rowan had listened to our requirements, taken our budget into account, and arranged to show us a variety of suitable homes. We did not visit any homes which were unsuitable or out of our specified price range, and we did not feel pressured by any sort of 'sales tactic'. We found Rowan to be patient, friendly and helpful at all times. 

During the purchase of our current property, Rowan was extremely conscientious in all aspects of the purchase. Rowan responded promptly to any enquiries we had, and was at all times approachable and efficient. 

We have lived in the Queenstown area for fourteen years. During that time we have purchased several houses, and have encountered a number of real estate agents. This was by far the smoothest and easiest house purchase we have made, and we attribute this to Rowan's high standards and professionalism. 

We have found the service provided by Rowan to be exceptional. We would not hesitate to contact Rowan regarding the sale or purchase of a property in the future, and we highly recommend Rowan to all prospective buyers and sellers.
