About Paul
As the head of Team Butcher, Paul’s primary focus has always been on his clients. His wealth of customer service knowledge originates from a successful, 20-year career as a chef before switching to real estate. No, don’t be fooled by his British accent, as, no matter what the property market does, he has probably seen it before. By now, Paul has lived in Wainuiomata and Lower Hutt for more than 13 years. His winning recipe is pairing his local expertise with a great sense of humour and genuine care for people. Paul’s clients especially love his ability to tackle and solve any issues as they arise. In his spare time, Paul still enjoys cooking for his toughest critics, his wife Lisa and their family. He also enjoys spending time with friends, and experimenting with his BBQ, and trying to make the perfect home brew. So, if you are after someone, who will take care of you on your real estate journey, while still calling ‘a spade, a spade’, pick up the phone now and ring Paul. You will not regret it.

Exceptional service from start to finish!

We certainly made the right choice with Lou and Matt! They were fantastic to deal with throughout the entire process, showing great attention to detail, excellent market knowledge and exceptional communication. I always felt well informed and confident that everything was being taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an agent. In fact, I already have! Thank you so much Lou and Matt for making the whole experience such an easy and positive one 😊

Lovely team to work with

We hadn't considered the property we ended up buying but Sinéad encouraged us to have a look. It ended up being perfect for us and we can't wait to roll our sleeves up and make it our own. The team were all brilliant, and we were able to arrange a few extra viewings with no trouble. We would definitely recommend Team Sinéad to anyone looking to buy or sell.

First time buying but fully supported all the way

First time buying but fully supported all the way

We first met at a completely different address. Chris was warm and welcoming straight away. We love a bit of banter and Chris fitted with this well. Although the address we looked at was not the right fit for us Chris asked some questions to gauge what we needed and suggested an address. He was able to even professionally able to talk some sense into my mother who had dug her heels in on a few things and wouldn't listen to us. We went along to check out the property and it ticked all of our boxes. So we made the decision that we were going to put in an offer . But being the house buying first timers we had no idea what we were doing. Chris was amazing support and helped us draw up the offer. He was there right through the whole process. Only ever a txt or a phone call away. Then we came to going conditional Chris was great and broke down all the steps we needed to do. He checked in every couple of days to see how we were getting on. Then next thing we knew we were unconditional and it was all becoming so real. Chris still checked in to see how things were going. Not once did we feel forgotten about. The pre settlement inspection came around and this went smoothly. Chris explained the process and what was to happen next. Next meeting was to be picking up the keys. Gonna miss dealing with Chris and and getting those phone calls "Hey Darren, Chris from Harcourts how's it going".

Couldn't be happier with John!

Couldn't be happier with John!

John was great to deal with from start to finish. I really appreciated the way he listened to my thoughts and ideas, and kept me involved throughout the whole process. He was always happy to discuss things, answer my questions and share his thoughts on what was happening in the market. His approach to the sale and negotiations was professional and considered, and I appreciated being kept informed along the way. John put a lot of effort into marketing my home and was professional throughout. I'm absolutely delighted with the result and really appreciate everything he did to make it happen. I'd happily recommend John to anyone thinking of selling their home. Thanks again, John, really appreciate all your work!

John was amazing to work with, very dedicated and very supportive through the whole process.

John was amazing to deal with. He supported us through the whole process. He was caring and patient and explained every part of the process well. He went above and beyond to help us sell our home. I was very impressed with the marketing plan and the auction/ deadline approach. He kept us up to date with the open homes and potential buyers. I would definitely recommend him to anyone selling their home. Thank you John.
