Steve’s long career in real estate is of huge value to the Upper Hutt office and its clients, helping to deliver outstanding results. He has clocked up around three decades in the industry and when hired in his first role his manager said that he couldn’t decide if Steve would be very good or very bad at real estate. Five years later Steve opened his own real estate company next to his manager’s proving his exceptional talent. His career has since seen him work from London to the Hutt Valley winning top agent awards consistently since 1997 including a Wellington Supreme Agent Award in 2017.

Steve attributes his background as a publican in central London, that saw him manage his first pub when he was just 20, as part of his secret to real estate success. It taught him the importance of service, communication and hard work – the three most important skills necessary to excel in real estate. His strengths are wide ranging and include negotiation, marketing and extensive local knowledge making Steve a true expert in his field. His proven track record enables Steve to provide valuable insights and guidance that helps clients make informed decisions. He boasts wide-ranging networks including a strong online presence, harnessing the power of search engines and social media to connect with potential sellers and purchasers.

Steve believes real estate is more about service than sales. If the service is delivered, the sale will eventuate. His utter commitment to extraordinary customer service is evidenced by his pledge to return client calls within three hours or deduct $500 from his fee.

As Upper Hutt branch manager Steve focuses on training to produce exceptional agents capable of putting their clients needs first and delivering the results they demand. He is passionate about helping his team to become the best it can be, assisting people to achieve their dreams and goals.

Steve is a firm advocate for the Hutt Valley after moving there from the UK over 20 years ago. The city's affordable housing prices, good transportation links to Wellington and the natural beauty of the area are all major selling points. He knows the area’s target market is typically families and first-time homebuyers looking for affordable housing options outside of Wellington and that there is a range of properties from apartments and townhouses to larger family homes, providing something for everyone.
