About Jess

Jess Setu has been shaking up the real estate scene since 2015 - kicking things off by taking out New Zealand Rookie of the Year. Since then, she’s built a reputation in the Hutt for getting results, keeping it real, and making the whole process feel a lot less stressful than you’d expect. Jess isn’t about cookie-cutter campaigns or one-size-fits-all advice. She takes the time to understand what you actually want, then crafts a smart, tailored strategy to get you there - whether that’s maximising your sale price, creating serious buyer competition, or just making the journey feel seamless from start to sold. Known for her sharp attention to detail and no-nonsense approach, Jess brings a great mix of professionalism and personality. She’ll tell you what you need to hear (not just what sounds good), keep you in the loop every step of the way, and work hard behind the scenes to make sure your property stands out for all the right reasons. With a long list of standout results and consistent five-star reviews, Jess has a loyal client base who come back—and refer their friends - time and time again. Outside of real estate, Jess is a proud Hutt Valley local, mum to three sporty kids, and someone who’s always on the go. Her community involvement runs deep, earning her a Kiwibank Local Hero Medal and recognition at the Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards. She also proudly supports Fuel the Need, Petone Rugby Club, and Barnardos 0800 What’s Up!

Couldn’t recommend a better agent to sell our home!

Couldn’t recommend a better agent to sell our home!

We were feeling completely overwhelmed by the decision of selling our first home, until we met Jess. She was an absolute lifesaver, and we felt lucky to have her as our agent. She understood exactly what we needed to achieve from the get go, and delivered the results very promptly. She kept us updated at every turn and took the time to explain the process in great detail, always leaving us with all answers that we needed. Jess doesn't just deliver great outcomes, she truly cares about her clients and where they end up next in their chapter. We couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Great communicator, honest, kind and genuine

Great communicator, honest, kind and genuine

Jess is amazing. As a purchaser, she was super responsive to my questions, gave excellent advice and I felt really well supported through the buying process. If Jess’ remit extended beyond the Hutt she would be our go to agent for everything! She is also a very honest, kind and genuine person - and I felt probably made things just as easy for the seller. Thank you, Jess (and Ryelee!) for all your help and expertise.

Communicates very well and guides well the unfamiliar task (to me) of putting a house on the market.

Communicates very well and guides well the unfamiliar task (to me) of putting a house on the market.

I'm in my mid eighties and have never sold a house before, so choosing a land agent I could trust was difficult. I feel very lucky to have found Jess Setu. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she immediately understood what was important to me about the property and the sort of people I wanted to buy it. She listened. She developed a step by step plan of action, which suited us both and guided me through the process with kindness and sensitivity. She always arrived at the house before a client, to check everything was in order . One cold wet day she even got a fire going! She kept me informed about potential buyers all the way through. I was able to sell the property quickly to a preferred buyer at the price I wanted. I highly recommend Jess Setu.
