Meet the team

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.

Agents that look out for the buyer as well
Lou and Matt have made our first home purchase an enjoyable experience from start to finish, from initial query to move-in. I will not hesitate to recommend them to any potential vendors, and any buyers can have the confidence that they're dealing with trustworthy and knowledgeable agents that look after their interest as well. I don't think we'd have made the wonderful decision to buy our first home if not for Lou and Matt.

Excellent communicator and efficient worker.
Nicky was excellent at communicating with us. From when we first decided to put an offer on she helped us through each step of the process. She kept reaching out to us to make sure things were going smoothly for us and even gave us a few solicitors to try which we were extremely grateful for. As someone who was learning a lot about the buying process it was nice to have support and patience from Nicky. Overall our experience with Nicky was great.

Best agent I've ever worked with!
Nicky has been absolutely incredible throughout the sale process. I have already told her how much I appreciate her support, but it is worth saying again. She went above and beyond at every opportunity, always making herself available to answer questions, provide advice and guidance, and help us with any bumps along the road. Her dedication made all the difference, and I truly don't believe we would have achieved this sale without her. I deal with many agents across the motu, and I can say that Nicky is the best. Thank you so much Nicky!

Great Support Throughout Our Home-Buying Journey
Nicky has been a great help throughout our home-buying journey. Even though the process had its challenges along the way, she was always responsive, patient, and willing to help us work through everything. We really appreciated her communication and support from the beginning right through to getting the deal done. Thank you so much, Nicky, for all your help
