Jason Eves

Luxury Real Estate Specialist

(139 reviews)

About Jason

Jason’s father Max Eves started Eves Real Estate in Tauranga back in the late 1960s, however Jason’s path to a career in local real estate was not exactly straightforward... In earlier adult life, Jason qualified and practiced as a veterinary surgeon in NZ, Australia, UK and abroad, including for the Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation and Sanctuary Division of the IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare). A highlight of this time was his leading of IFAW’s response team on the ground during the rescue of more than 50 big cats and other endangered animals from the Baghdad Zoo during the 2003 American invasion. This emotionally challenging, highly impactful rescue operation is the subject of the 2007 book Babylon’s Ark, written by South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony. Following his years practising in the veterinary field, Jason moved into the highly competitive pharma sales arena. As National Sales Manager for multi-national pharmaceutical company Pfizer, he reported directly to the CEO of Animal Health and ran seven territory managers and key accounts throughout the country. More recently, after what was intended only to be a gap year working on super yachts with his now-wife, Abigail, Jason spent 10 years working as operations manager for an ultra-high net worth individual in North America. This diverse role saw him advising on, negotiating and managing the acquisition and disposal of countless aircraft, yachts, vehicles and other luxury goods. Among other projects in the early years of this period, Jason managed the redevelopment of his employer’s 770-acre island in British Columbia (including establishing an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course). Later, he converted the stable block of what was previously John Cleese’s Ranch in Southern California into a two hundred-million-dollar private car garage. Jason’s depth and breadth of experience in negotiating luxury property and other high-value goods is unlikely to be matched by another agent in New Zealand. Throughout his distinct international careers and the experiences each have afforded him, he has developed a phenomenal work ethic, absolute integrity, and he delivers nothing short of exceptional service to our clients at Oliver Road.

About Ben

Ben’s career in real estate has seen him specialise in the marketing and sale of both luxury and lifestyle properties. He understands selling high value homes in this exclusive segment of the market can often be a longer process, requiring an unwavering commitment from the agent.

Ben’s passion for real estate stems from a desire to work with, and indeed guide people through one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Building lasting and meaningful relationships with both Vendors and Purchasers, Ben prides himself on a personable, calm and genuine approach to selling property.

Professional, Supportive, and Knowledgeable from Start to Finish

We had a great experience working with Jason and Ben at Oliver Road and couldn’t be more pleased with the service they provided. Their deep knowledge of the market gave us confidence at every stage of the process. Whether it was preparing the home for listing, coordinating open homes and viewings, or managing discussions with potential buyers, their guidance was thoughtful and highly effective. Their standard of communication was equally commendable- clear, consistent, and always quick to respond. They ensured we were well-informed throughout the process and took the time to explain each step thoroughly. Above all, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. It has been a genuinely positive experience working with Jason and Ben. We really appreciate how smoothly they managed everything for us. We also want to sincerely thank the whole team for their effort and care. They made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and well-organised. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for experienced, reliable, and supportive real estate professionals.

They really are "All Stars"

This is the second time we have used Oliver Rd. Cannot recommend the team there highly enough. We decided to discuss early the prospect of listing with them some months prior to having it officially go on the market, that worked out a treat. Our beautiful home ended up in not even hitting the open market (a very good reason for any prospective buyer to be on their VIP list). Both Ben and Jason spent quality time with us. We didn't feel pressured at all. Danielle did a great job on the admin side too, a very well oiled, quality focussed and efficient team. Such a pity I cannot give Ben and Jason more stars- they really are 🌟 “All Stars”🌟 !

Outstanding care, attention and communication

From the outset, communication has been amazing, regular updates relating to our home and also to the market around us were provided. Jason & Ben's extensive knowledge and experience guided our decisions and made for a comforting journey. We were not pressured at any stage to head in a certain direction or make a specific decision, we felt in control and looked after all the way through. I would highly recommend Jason and Ben, when looking to sell.

Outstanding Professionalism and Brilliant Customer Service

We cannot recommend Jason enough. He was the consummate professional and provided exceptional customer services throughout our sales process. The market is quite soft at present with conditions favouring buyers but Jason applied all of his years of experience and formidable real estate acumen to bring genuine buyers to the table. His communication skills and ability to apply the most effective sales strategy to what is a difficult market are simply second to none. We secured an unconditional cash offer through Jason's perseverance and skill and are now happily embarking on our next real estate adventure. Thanks Jason.
