Steve was one of the best real estate agents I’ve come across. No pressure or manipulation, he remained friendly and professional the whole time, with excellent communication every time I had a question.


Steve is an exceptionally professional real estate agent who is a perfectionist in everything that he does. He is readily accessible and did everything possible to ensure a seamless and stress free experience.

It is refreshing to work with an agent that has the perfect combination of professionalism and personality, and Steve has both in spades. Steve kept us up to date throughout the sales process, and we always felt like things were well in hand. We have worked with other real estate agents before, but Steve is one of those extra mile people, that cares about the finer details and gives attention to detail in areas that other agents wouldn't even consider. In our minds after dealing with Steve, we would struggle to go to anyone else for our real estate services, since we have had the pleasure of experiencing top class service from a true professional. He has set the bar extremely high for other agents. Thank you again Steve for delivering a great outcome for us.

Steve communicated with me from when he first listed the property and throughout the process in an open, knowledgable and informative way. I would totally work with Steve again on any house sale or purchase and would highly recommend him.


Right from the get go everything was easy and hassle free and Steve was professional and very helpful. Thank you

Our experience of buying a property through Steve Howes in Lake Tekapo was very easy and stress free. Steve goes out of his way to be helpful, find out information for you and give advise where asked.

Steve knows the market well and he is a well respected real estate agent within our community. The whole process from initial enquiry through to final completion was dealt with in a friendly yet professional manner. We felt comfortable in the knowledge that we would be kept informed throughout, and any questions we had were answered promptly. Thanks for your guidance.

Steve worked on selling our home through a very difficult time. He was knowledgeable about the process and the market throughout this time and was able to advise us on any changes to strategy to enable us to get the best outcome. He had weekly communication with us and once the market started to lift quickly communicated our best forward plan. He achieved a good outcome for us in very uncertain times. Thank you

From our first approach to Steve to the very satisfactory conclusion, Alan and I were completely comfortable and happy with all steps of the procedure. Everything was explained very clearly. We were made aware of the reality of the current selling market and were given no false hopes or promises. Steve was in constant contact and when a contract was a real possibility, Steve helped us through getting the best possible deal and made suggestions that certainly helped with the transition period between our selling here and buying elsewhere. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and on a personal note, when Steve became aware of our very personal circumstances, he became more like a friend than an agent and pulled out all stops to help us in every way possible. It has been a pleasure and an honour to deal with someone of Steve's caliber and we have no hesitation in reccomending him to anyone and everyone.
