Steve was great, we trusted him and his industry knowledge, which gave us the result we were hoping for

Steve gave us regular updates which was conveyed to the family. Marketed the property realistically and professionally. We would not hesitate to recommended his expertise, knowledge of the area and markets!

We meet Steve at an open home when looking for our new property. Steve was proactive and insightful in helping us find a home in an area, we had limited knowledge of. Thanks for helping us find our new home Steve!

Steve was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He did a wonderful job at selling our property.

We had spent a year looking for a property at Waihi Beach and after meeting Steve made a good decision to work with him instead of dealing with a listing agent on a ad hoc basis. He had good market knowledge, a great communicator with his international business experience coming through. As we know, an agent can only work within the vendors and buyers expectations, he communicates this process very well. In life attitude defines altitude and Steve said he would find us the right property. Great result for us.

We found Steve to be "really on the Job" with presentation, advice, & direction. His efforts were always appreciated, not too "heavy" or "pushy" We saw that he related well with potential buyers & had informed answers to their questions. We would have no hesitation in recommending him for any Real Estate enquiry

Steve made our experience seamless because of his knowledge and experience. Steve kept us in touch at all times, in a difficult market. Such a lovely friendly funny man. We will miss our cups of teas. We fully recommend Steve.

Steve was great gave us prompt and honest feed back and got us the sale we were after

Steve is a fantastic person to deal with. His communication, follow up and professionalism are second to none. Combined with his local knowledge and network, this helped ensure a smooth and efficient sales process. Highly recommended.

We enlisted Steve Bowen to sell our bach in Waihi Beach. We had been looking at homes to buy for about 18 months and had met a few different agents. We chose Steve as we like his friendly professional manner and his knowledge of the local market. He has a huge contact list due to the large amount of business that he does in the area. He marketed our bach in a market that was a bit tougher than it had been. He was very positive all the way along and our home was marketed extensively on social media which created a lot of interest. Our open homes were busy and well attended which got us a satisfactory offer for the property is a relatively short time. Steve's communication throughout this process was second to none. Thank you to Steve Bowen and all The Gary Alway L.J. Hooker team for getting a great outcome for us. We highly recommend you all.

We are giving Steve 5 stars only because we can't give him 10 stars. We had been looking for a home in Waihi Beach or Athenree for about 18 months and had looked at many homes with several different agents. We met Steve at an open home and we liked his friendly and open manner. He did something that NO other agent at Waihi Beach did. He kept in touch and kept helping us with our search. His communication is exemplary. We were probably quite "hard to please" but that didn't deter Steve! He kept working for us until the job was done. And he kept us up to date all the way through. Steve is very professional with a great sense of humour. We highly recommend Steve to anybody looking to buy or sell real estate in Waihi Beach or surrounding areas.

Steve was the agent who sold house 153 Koutunui. They were very pleased with his performance and highly recommended him to us. We gave him a call when we were ready to sell. He immediately presented us with a few clients who were currently interested in a property like ours. We started with a few private viewings and one of the viewers became our buyer even before we were put on the market. Steve was eager to start with the marketing of our property as soon as the contract was signed. We immediately did the pictorials and the drone shots. It all happened within a week. It was overwhelming and rather emotional for us. Steve kept us informed of the market trends and updates through emails. He texted and called us immediately on important matters. He followed company and client protocol and was always keen on making progress. We did a few open homes even though we were under contract. He kept us updated on the progress of our buyer’s open homes and offers. He presented himself well and made us feel like we could trust in his expertise. He was also supportive and very personable at all times even though there seems to be a little bump on the road. Overall, he met all expectations that is required to make the sale happen. We are very pleased with his performance. Just like 153 Koutunui, we will highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent. Great job Steve!
