Honest, knowledgeable with outstanding communication skills!

Honest, knowledgeable with outstanding communication skills!

If you're looking to buy or sell in the Tekapo region you really can't get anyone better than Steve. He's prompt, reliable and will give you an upfront and open assessment of the property. He is hardworking and is always able to be contacted. Steve is someone that will hold your hand through the process and ensure any queries are sorted promptly. He is transparent and is passionate about what he does and the Mackenzie region as a whole. We could not recommend Steve more highly!

Five star service, professional, fantastic customer service

What a pleasure meeting Steve and beginning the journey of finding our perfect holiday home in Lake Tekapo. Five star service and great knowledge of the area. The whole process was professional and seamless. His customer service was next level, which is taken for granted with may business nowadays. We highly valued Steve’s experience during the sales process.

Review Steve Howes Real Estate agent

To put it simply Steve has been excellent, he has been extremely efficient and responsive that includes making contact on more than one occasion while he was on holiday. Steve's communication and advice has also been very helpful. Steve was very supportive through the buying process and went above and beyond for us in terms of seeking advice for us via the vendor. I would highly recommend Steve's services.

We have had the opportunity to be both purchaser and vendor with Steve. His knowledge, advice and professionalism has made what could be a stressful time, manageable. Steve communicates regularly and kept us up to date with any progress or issues that needed addressing. If we were in the situation of needing a real estate agent again we wouldn’t hesitate to engage Steve.

We love it!!!

We love it!!!

We love it!!! We had been working with Steve and the team from LJ Hooker for some time trying to find the next family home here in Tekapo, no easy task in the Tekapo market. Steve had the perfect home for our family in mind and reached out to us knowing we’d also feel the property was the perfect fit for us. The process was very smooth and despite some of the more complicated elements of property sales we felt supported and confident we were dealing with the best team and making the right decision, Thanks team, you made one of the largest decisions in our lives also one of the easiest!

Thanks team!

It was such a pleasure working with Steve and the team from L.J Hooker and McKenzie Country Real estate, the benefit of the team is that they have the ability to really engage a wide variety of skilled team members to assist with getting the best, exposure, the best marketing plan and the best distribution to ensure the very outcome. We were well informed throughout the sale and marketing process, the team’s communication was insightful, honest and accurate, they kept us regularly updated and importantly they listened to our feedback and took this into consideration. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks Steve and the wider team that supported us through this sales process, their friendly and professional approach certainly left us feeling assured we'd made the right choice, the experience and there wealth of expertise was second to none! Talk to Steve if you need great results, we did. Thanks team,
