Steve and his team were extremely professional gaining an excellent result.

Steve was very enthusiastic about our property from the listing stage right through marketing and getting offers in front of us. His approach was friendly but understood he was there to complete a sale for us. Communication to us during the process was excellent. We would highly recommend Steve and his team in the Tekapo market.

Engaged, committed and professional.

Steve was fantastic from the time of enquiry right through to selling our property. He runs a self-sufficient business from doing all the photos and set up to excellent communication from the whole team using WhatsApp and website. This meant the whole process was efficient. Steve is professional and personable, always receptive to answering questions with calmness and support. Steve is positive but realistic about expectations. To top it off, we sold at deadline. The most stress free house selling we’ve ever had. Thanks Steve and team.

Exceptional Service and Support from Start to Finish

Working with Steve Howes was an exceptional experience from start to finish. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-supported. Steve took the time to guide us every step of the way, explaining things clearly and stepping in wherever we needed extra support. His communication was consistent and reassuring, and we always felt confident that we were in capable hands. What impressed us most was his willingness to go above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of properly. He was always responsive, thorough, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

A great team, with awesome communication

Steve and his team provided some of the best service we have ever had from a real estate agent. We have been buying and selling property for over 35 years. The communications from the team and feedback from all agents particularly Libby & Steve was simply outstanding. It made you feel like you a lot closer to the action than being a 2.5 hour drive away. I would highly recommend Steve, Libby and team to anyone considering buying or selling in the MacKenzie District. You will not be disappointed, their knowledge of the market and ability to work with buyers is unparalleled.
