About us

With over 6,500 property transactions, John and Michelle van Lienen are real estate experts, supported by their outstanding Team JVL - Kristen Lowndes and Tracy Eagles. Born in the Manawatu, John and Michelle started their careers in 1986. Their passion for real estate has only grown, now combining with a new level of professionalism that consistently delivers impressive results. John began with Property Brokers in 1986, becoming the company’s top salesperson before transitioning to management. Michelle started as an administrator the same year, quickly moving into sales and becoming number one at Unique Realty, followed by Property Brokers. In 1999, they established JVL Prestige Realty, known for its innovative marketing and benchmark property prices. At its peak, the agency employed 32 staff and was named Australasian Boutique Real Estate Agency of the Year by the Real Estate Results Network in 2012. After 15 years of success, they sold JVL Prestige Realty to Bayley’s Corporation in 2014. From 2014-2019, they returned to sales with Bayley’s Manawatu as Team JVL, becoming the region’s top agents and ranking in the top 20 for Bayley’s New Zealand. In 2020, John and Michelle seized the opportunity to introduce New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty to the Manawatu, recognising the region’s growing international workforce and demand for a higher level of service. They believe local sellers deserve more than just national exposure, making Sotheby’s truly global reach an invaluable asset.

Michelle was amazing to work with. She was kind/helpful and nothing was a problem. I was kept updated all the time and although Michelle was very professional she talked to me as a friend.
