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.

Reliable from start to finish

Reliable from start to finish

John helped us buy our current apartment and then sell our previous one, so we got to work with him both as buyers and sellers. He was excellent throughout: friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, supportive, and proactive, and he always kept us up to date. In a word: reliable. Everything felt clear and well handled from start to finish. He and his assistant even coordinated all the renovation work and checked on the flat regularly, allowing us to get on with our usual busy lives. We'd gladly work with him again, which I think says it all.

Apartment expert who made the process simple and straightforward

John's experience in living in an apartment in central Wellington and having been on Body Corporates gives him an inside view on what apartment buyers are looking for and whats important to know. He made the whole process super easy and provided confidence and a professional manner throughout the process.

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.
