Steve and the LJ Hooker team have been excellent to deal with throughout our journey of purchasing a house. We felt they have gone above and deyond to helping us, always answering our questions and providing us with a strong local knowledge of the area, and property market. Steve always answered his phone, and provided promised information promptly. His dedication to his job is very impressive and we were very grateful for all his help. We would highly recommend Steve & LJ Hooker, to anyone looking to purchase or sell their property.

We first met Steve when he helped us purchase this property nearly six years ago, and we've appreciated his professional, diplomatic approach and valuable advice ever since. Choosing him to sell the property was an easy decision. Steve and his team were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome, and we're very happy with the result. What really distinguishes Steve is that his service doesn't stop once the sale is complete. From our experience as both buyers and sellers, he continues to provide support long after settlement, thoughtfully mediating between buyer and seller where needed and helping ensure a smooth transition for everyone involved. Thank you for all your help and support over the years.

We have brought several properties from Steve so we’re very comfortable going in to the process. Once again Steve showed amazing professionalism, communication and knowledge. Absolutely class act by the whole team, pleasure to deal with! Cheers Team :)

Communication is excellent and prompt and knowledge of the district market would be second to none in my opinion - very professional and a pleasure to deal with makes for a happy outcome

Steve goes beyond what any regular estate agent would. He has incredible market knowledge, helps the process and genuinely supports to get the best possible for his clients. He is always available and is by far the best in the business !

We have now used Steve on both the sale and purchase side of transactions and find him very approachable and professional. Steve is attentive, understands your objectives and then goes about meeting, or as he did for us, exceeding them.


Steve was very enthusiastic about our property from the listing stage right through marketing and getting offers in front of us. His approach was friendly but understood he was there to complete a sale for us. Communication to us during the process was excellent. We would highly recommend Steve and his team in the Tekapo market.

Great agent would highly recommend as has lots of local knowledge.Also goes the extra mile!!

Steve was fantastic from the time of enquiry right through to selling our property. He runs a self-sufficient business from doing all the photos and set up to excellent communication from the whole team using WhatsApp and website. This meant the whole process was efficient. Steve is professional and personable, always receptive to answering questions with calmness and support. Steve is positive but realistic about expectations. To top it off, we sold at deadline. The most stress free house selling we’ve ever had. Thanks Steve and team.

Working with Steve Howes was an exceptional experience from start to finish. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-supported. Steve took the time to guide us every step of the way, explaining things clearly and stepping in wherever we needed extra support. His communication was consistent and reassuring, and we always felt confident that we were in capable hands. What impressed us most was his willingness to go above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of properly. He was always responsive, thorough, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
