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.

Wonderful experience

We’re so grateful to Vanessa for helping us buy our first home! She was very helpful throughout the whole process and explained things clearly, making it much easier for us to understand how buying a home works. Vanessa was always easy to reach, approachable, and happy to answer any questions we had. We really appreciate her assistance and support. Thank you for making our first-home buying experience so much easier and less stressful. We highly recommend her! ❤️

When we first met her she was very informative, obviously knew what she was talking about.

When we first met her she was very informative, obviously knew what she was talking about.

Obviously not a good time to sell but, apart from lowering the price once, Sinead was always confident that we would sell the house as long as we had patience. Knew how to deal with potential buyers when 2 similar properties came on the market in the same area. If Sinead wasn't able to communicate with us over something, her "team-mates" kept us up to date with progress on the sale.

Paul and his team consistently worked extra hard to achieve this sale.

Paul and his team were very thorough and professional throughout. Paul helped achieve our goal which was a timely sale at a good price. Five stars and 10/10 because Paul consistently puts the extra work in. Communication was faultless. The extra effort put it was always welcomed.

Unprofessional and disorganized.

Unprofessional and disorganized.

The agent disclosed sensitive information about both the vendor and other interested parties. They revealed that the vendors had signed a contract on a property and needed to sell urgently. They also revealed another offer was a low deposit.

Difficult communicator and hard to deal with

Difficult communicator and hard to deal with

Lorraine said she prides herself on her communication skills, but we found that's what she lacked the most of. Lots of little mistakes ended up being very frustrating for us. I wouldn't sell my house with Lorraine and I certainly wouldn't buy a house off her again.
