I recently sold my apartment on Maratahu Street in New Plymouth with Nick Hughes, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property. Nick was professional, approachable and easy to deal with throughout the entire process. Selling wasn't always straightforward, but he remained patient, provided good communication and kept things moving along. I appreciated his support, persistence and guidance from start to finish. It was great to have someone who stayed committed to getting the sale across the line. Thanks Nick for all your hard work. I really appreciate everything you've done!

We had an amazing experience buying our first home with Mel and Rebecca. They were both so lovely, approachable and incredibly easy to deal with throughout the whole process. Nothing was ever a hassle, communication was great, and they made what can be a stressful experience feel so easy and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for better people to help us through such an exciting milestone. Thank you both for making buying our first home such a pleasure. We would highly recommend Mel and Rebecca from Team Steven’s to anyone looking to buy or sell! 😊
My experience with Daniel was good he was very flexible in meeting me at the property even if I gave not much notice He also said that if I needed to get trades in at all for quotes he was happy to open up house at any time An overall experience that I’m very happy with

Mel & Rebecca will set your mind at ease right from get go. The knowledge, professionalism and advice they both bring gives you so much confidence. Always just a call or text away if we ever needed anything. Our house sold after just a couple of viewings, we were so impressed!!
With the time difference between the 2 countries, and our work schedules, Jeremy was very accommodating with when we could communicate. He kept us well informed with the goings on with the open homes and with interested parties comments. Not to mention the 'Staging' he helped organize before the marketing pics were taken. The place looked great! We're appreciative of his service, and 'Congratulations to the new Owners. Enjoy the home and property, just as we did'!
Very responsive with questions and concerns. When we wanted to make a second viewing we are able to get another one within a very timely manner.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for better real estate agents than Brendon and Alannah From the very beginning, they made the whole process feel so easy and comfortable\. We actually first connected with Alannah while visiting open homes, and there was just something about her that made us feel like she was the right person to help us on our journey. We are so glad we followed that feeling! Both Brendon and Alannah went above and beyond for us. They weren’t just our real estate agents; they genuinely felt like friends. They were approachable, supportive, honest and always made us feel like we were in the best hands. To have our house sold at the very first open home was just incredible, and we couldn’t be happier with the result! Selling a home we had loved for 15 years was a big step for our family, and having these two by our side made such a difference. We are so grateful for all their hard work, care and the genuine connection we built with them along the way. If you’re looking for real estate agents who truly care, go above and beyond and make you feel like more than just another client, we couldn’t recommend Brendon and Alannah highly enough. Thank you both for helping us close one chapter and begin such an exciting new one\. We will always be grateful that we chose you!

Dillon made the purchasing process very easy. He was very attentive to our requests and nothing was a problem
Zay was recommended to me from my parents who have used her expertise in sales/purchasing over many years. Zay was so lovely and made the process of selling my first house stress free! Zay has impeccable communication and always updating us with the ongoing background work, even over the weekend and later afternoons. She works incredibly hard and strives for the best outcome, whether it be top line marketing, adding open homes, arriving early to do a quick tidy or even barter with the arborist next door to do a quick trim of some overhanging trees. She goes above and beyond for her clients.
Laurel is always friendly, professional and patient. She knows the market and her experience shines through.
