Steve communicated with me from when he first listed the property and throughout the process in an open, knowledgable and informative way. I would totally work with Steve again on any house sale or purchase and would highly recommend him.

Right from the get go everything was easy and hassle free and Steve was professional and very helpful. Thank you

Our experience of buying a property through Steve Howes in Lake Tekapo was very easy and stress free. Steve goes out of his way to be helpful, find out information for you and give advise where asked.

Steve knows the market well and he is a well respected real estate agent within our community. The whole process from initial enquiry through to final completion was dealt with in a friendly yet professional manner. We felt comfortable in the knowledge that we would be kept informed throughout, and any questions we had were answered promptly. Thanks for your guidance.

Steve worked on selling our home through a very difficult time. He was knowledgeable about the process and the market throughout this time and was able to advise us on any changes to strategy to enable us to get the best outcome. He had weekly communication with us and once the market started to lift quickly communicated our best forward plan. He achieved a good outcome for us in very uncertain times. Thank you

From our first approach to Steve to the very satisfactory conclusion, Alan and I were completely comfortable and happy with all steps of the procedure. Everything was explained very clearly. We were made aware of the reality of the current selling market and were given no false hopes or promises. Steve was in constant contact and when a contract was a real possibility, Steve helped us through getting the best possible deal and made suggestions that certainly helped with the transition period between our selling here and buying elsewhere. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and on a personal note, when Steve became aware of our very personal circumstances, he became more like a friend than an agent and pulled out all stops to help us in every way possible. It has been a pleasure and an honour to deal with someone of Steve's caliber and we have no hesitation in reccomending him to anyone and everyone.

Steve did a great job working for us to sell our rental unit in difficult times with the decline in tourism. His good work saw us achieve a value we were very happy with.

Great service all the way through the sale process and a fantastic outcome in trying times.

We can't say enough about the service that Steve offers. We have used him on a couple of occasions as both a seller and buyer. He is the consummate professional. Is always very responsive and willing to go out of his way to make the whole process as simple as it can be. He has also provided support for things that were not directly related to the sale process that made it much easier as someone who was not living close by. It is rare to find such a dedicated individual operating in the genuine interests of both buyer and seller.

Steve was fantastic to work with on the recent sale of our property in Tekapo. He was extremely professional and did his upmost to assist both vendor and purchasing party with all facets of the sale.

Steve was awesome to deal with. Full of enthusiasm and energy, he worked hard for both parties to make the sale and purchase happen. Steve knows the market very well and he could answer all my questions. His communication and fast response to queries and then the contract side, made the deal fast, easy and a pleasure. Would totally recommend Steve
