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.

Above and Beyond Through a Challenging Simultaneous Sale and Purchase

Above and Beyond Through a Challenging Simultaneous Sale and Purchase

Above and Beyond Through a Challenging Simultaneous Sale and Purchase. Lorraine did an outstanding job helping us both purchase a property and sell a property simultaneously, which was a very challenging process. We could not sell one property unless we secured the other, so timing and coordination were critical throughout. To make matters even more stressful, the building inspections on both properties uncovered issues we were completely unaware of. Despite all the obstacles and uncertainty along the way, Lorraine remained calm, professional, and persistent, guiding us through every step of the process. Against all odds, we got there in the end, and we are extremely grateful for Lorraine’s hard work, communication, and determination. We would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling property.

Genuine, Honest and Kind

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Lorraine on the sale of our house. She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. From the very beginning, Lorraine supported us through the clearing and staging process. She provided a network of reliable contacts for cleaning, window washing, and even recommendations for builders and plumbers—all of whom were trustworthy and great value for money. Lorraine has a brilliant eye for color and space; she guided us in staging the home ourselves, suggesting textures and palettes that truly enhanced the property. Throughout the process, she was upfront and honest regarding pricing expectations and worked tirelessly behind the scenes following up with buyers. Despite a falling market, she secured a price we were both very happy with. I highly recommend Lorraine to anyone selling. We will definitely stay in touch and look forward to working with her again for our future purchases and sales.
