Caitlin was fantastic, always kept us in the loop and nothing was ever a problem, she went the extra mile for us and we can't thank her enough for her support!

Thank you for the ease and assistance in updating my Will! You were so easy and helpful with epic advice.

So grateful for how easy Caitlin was to deal with. She was so refreshing compared with previous experience we have had.  Would highly recommend.

If we were to buy again we would 100% choose Mactodd without hesitation. We loved the service provided and working with Caitlin to buy our first house was an absolute dream.

Caitlin Laurenson was meticulous and professional in handling our affair related to our investment purchase. Being overseas, Caitlin ensured that we were informed at all times and that the transaction was completed to our satisfaction. Caitlin is now our “NZ Lawyer” and we will definitely refer our family and friends to her.

Caitlin was proactive, very pleasant and professional. Everything was exceptionally smooth - many of my concerns and fears were quickly dispelled.  Selling a house at my age (78) with family all overseas, appeared daunting initially, but Caitlin made everything much easier and very straightforward.
