About John

If you’re selling an apartment in Wellington, you need more than a generalist - you need a true apartment specialist. That’s exactly what you get with John Kettle. John focuses almost exclusively on inner-city apartments in Te Aro, Wellington Central, and Thorndon. Having lived in apartments himself since 2009, he knows what attracts buyers and how to present properties for maximum appeal. John also brings valuable governance knowledge, with eight years on the Body Corporate committee of a significant inner-city apartment complex. Each year he represents the building in its insurance renewal process, giving him unique insight into compliance and disclosure requirements - knowledge that helps vendors avoid surprises and achieve smooth transactions. As part of Tommy’s Real Estate, John is backed by a multi-award-winning team, including the 2024 REINZ Best Salesperson Award, Community Winner, and Sustainability Award. His own results speak for themselves: in the past 12 months, he has sold 26 apartments and currently manages nine active listings. Sellers consistently praise John’s professionalism, energy, and follow-through: “John has been a pleasure to deal with… delivers on all their pre-sales promises.” With his apartment-market expertise, local knowledge, and proven results, John doesn’t just list properties - he positions them to sell. That’s why vendors trust him to get the job done.

The best man for the job

The best man for the job

John is on top of his game. His knowledge and experience from the listing of the property to its final conclusion is unparallel. He has put in the hard work on researching and making assessment on how best to present the property in light of the market situation. It is no surprise that this is the third property that John has acted for us. We will recommend him for sure.

Persistance pays off

Persistance pays off

We bought the aprtment through John so decided to engage him to sell it for us. While the market timing to sell was not easy, John's positivity ensured we remained engaged with the process. His positivity and persistance paid off with a sale after quite a time on the time. We would use John again if necessary and would recommend him to any prospective aprartment seller.

John is a true apartment specialist with deep market knowledge and insight into the Wellington apartment scene. He clearly explained the details that mattered most, which gave me confidence as a buyer. His communication was clear and timely—he always kept me updated and was quick to respond to my questions. Above all, John’s professionalism stood out. He was approachable, transparent, and made the entire process smooth and straightforward. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell an apartment in Wellington.
