About Howie

It’s not the best house that sells, but the house with the best marketing strategy! And it’s my mission to ensure you receive top-notch industry marketing expertise. I also aim to bring a new standard to real estate, by making the buying and selling process easier and more satisfying for all parties involved. In 2017, while working for a leading global real estate technology company, I introduced world-class property marketing tools into New Zealand. Then, over the next five years, I improved marketing strategies, and trained more than 2,500 salespeople and analysed over 10,000 listings. It was over this time that I gained great insight into the New Zealand real estate market and honed my strategic and analytical skills. I now bring that knowledge and experience directly to you. For every hour spent physically at a property, a buyer will spend three times that amount digitally inspecting it. By leveraging the power of various platforms and using your property’s unique selling points, I can make your home stand out from the crowd. I attract the right home buyers and help them fall in love with your property BEFORE they physically walk through the door. Buying or selling, if you're looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional, look no further! Contact me today to start your journey. I look forward to helping you.

Equally impressive is his responsiveness. No matter the time of day he was always prompt in responding to questions, providing updates, and keeping the momentum going. Throughout the entire sale process Carl maintained the highest level of professionalism, handling every detail with care and integrity.

Professional, dedicated, realistic, detailed, knowledgeable & his communication was superb.

James MacDonald was a delight to work with. James was professional throughout the selling process; he communicated well with me and various related parties. He was proactive, adaptable, and organized. His client's goals guided James, and they were also balanced with the reality of the market at the time, which he conveyed to me. James is a client-focused professional agent who is personable and confident. I could not have asked for a better agent.

Professional and dedicated - Got the job done!

From start to finish, Carl was professional, easy to deal with, and genuinely committed to getting us the best outcome. He gave us sound advice to help us market our apartment, and got the job done drawing on his own network of contacts. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl.
