I rang Steve during his holidays, intending to leave a message but he answered my call and we started a conversation that led to a purchase. We are grateful for his expertise and knowledge of the market. Prompt communication is his strength, and he helped to clarify our thinking by providing multiple options. The whole process was relaxed and open, we never felt pressured to make a decision, we appreciated this. Steve and his office provide great service throughout the whole purchasing process, it has been a very pleasant experience one of the best real estate transactions we have ever been involved in. We are grateful to Steve and his team for their input, clarity and coordination of the process. These guys are professional while maintaining the personal human approach. Highly recommend them to anyone considering selling or buying. Steve will do his very best. Thank you.

Steve's office availability by phone or email was timely and professional at all times. Technical and market knowledge made this purchase possible from a local and international perspective. My husband and I feel we have made a lifetime friend. Thank you Steve and Vic.

We found Steve and his team to be very professional, maintain good lines of communication and be always available via phone or in person. Our section was initially a silent listing while we considered our options. Once we decided to go with the full listing, the process was seamless. Steve was able to negotiate with a buyer to achieve a result that was acceptable to both parties. Happy to recommend to all and would have no hesitation to us him and his team again in the future, both selling and buying.

Steve was incredible to deal with during my recent Lake Tekapo property purchase. His knowledge of the area was second to none. I never felt pushed or ignored. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking at Tekapo property.

He was unfailingly polite, accessible and helpful. He was able to arrange the sale at lightning speed because he knew the market so well. All went very smoothly and he was invaluable in our success in ensuring all went smoothly and quickly. All in all, we cannot speak too highly of his role as real estate agent. Well done Steve and team.

I recently purchased my First home with the help of Steve, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first viewing he was professional, patient, and genuinely cared about finding the right property for me. Steve was always available to answer questions, explain details clearly, and guide me through every step of the buying process — from making an offer to dealing with the paperwork. What really stood out was his honesty and market knowledge; I always felt confident that I was making informed decisions. Thanks to Steve, the entire transaction was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home — you’ll be in excellent hands!

The team did a stellar job, with care, attention to detail and ease of communication despite two parties working with international timeframes. It was a straight forward process and we are very happy with the outcome. Thank you once again!

Steve and Vicki were both professional and caring during the whole process of selling my property, here in Tekapo. They had knowledge of my personal circumstance and were very mindful of reasons as to why I chose to leave. They were not pushy or overbearing and led me through the process each step of the way so that I was fully aware of what was happening and why. Endless phone calls from Steve as to how I was coping which were really appreciated. Steve and Vicki I really appreciated what you did. Stewie

Steve and his team at LJ Hooker have been excellent to deal with on the personal property purchase we have made. Fast, effective and reliable communication has made the process a very pleasant one. I would strongly recommend Steve and his team.

Steve and his collegues were a pleasure to deal with. There were some problems with our sale (not their fault) and Steve went way above what was expected of him to help complete the sale. We would recommend him as an agent to anyone wishing to either buy or sell a property.

Steve was really approachable, knowledgeable and very helpful, we are very thankful for his help and would highly recommend him!
