Steve Howes is a true professional who demonstrated genuine care and empathy.

Steve's communication was proactive, clear and accurate. The use of WhatsApp ensured all involved in the sales process were included. His knowledge of the Tekapo market is exceptional and very useful from a sellers point of view. We were thrilled with the final outcome, which Steve acheived using his excellent negotiation and people skills. Steve went above and beyond by helping us organise improvements and information when we were not able to be at Tekapo.

Nice experience

Steve has always responded promptly to our requests and provided excellent support throughout the process. We encountered quite a few challenges, particularly when making and finalising our offer, but Steve was consistently professional, approachable and proactive in following up with us every step of the way. We truly appreciate his professionalism, dedication and all the help he has given us. Thank you, Steve, for making what could have been a much more stressful process a lot easier.

Impressive use of technology

Impressive use of technology

Steve Howes is an impressive agent in many ways – communication with clients, knowledge of market, etc. However, the most impressive aspect of Steve’s service is his use of technology to achieve these goals. For example, a comprehensive and attractive comparable market analysis, WhatsApp for internal team communication, a personal portal to track activities, a paper-free process for management of the sales agreement, etc.
