What do Clients Say?

A Hard working, disciplined REA with Integrity When we commissioned Steve to sell our property the guidelines where strict & outcome expectation high. We also had some very specific non negotiable guidelines that without the ability to act with total professionalism a lesser skilled REA would never have been able to achieve. Steves tireless work ethic realised a brilliant result for all parties. Highly recommended. - Review submitted by Bruce And Tricia Wenzlick (Vendor) on Jan 25, 2022

Experience pays off Steve's extensive real estate selling background ensured he knew exactly how to present our property, how to market it, how and when to meet the market and how to deal with all players - we as owners, potential buyers, the existing tenant, those professionals engaged by the prospective buyer and on our behalf, legal professionals. Thank you Steve. Review submitted by Greg And Pamela Putland (Vendor) on Jun 16, 2022

If you want results - Steve is the agent to use It was a pleasure to engage Steve to sell our investment property. He has in-depth, current market knowledge and was very proactive in the marketing of our property. Being sold by negotiation Steve proposed a number of strategies which we discussed in detail and I left him to do the deal. We were delighted with the result as the sale was hassle free for us and the sale price achieved exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Steve and will certainly use him again when we decide to sell our next investment property. Review submitted by Sally Eustace (Vendor) on Dec 10, 2021

Steve Starke. Top Selling Agent. We asked Steve to sell a South Auckland dual income rental property for us at the beginning of a Level 3 Lockdown. Steve was wonderful. He worked well with the tenants in what was a very stressful time for everyone concerned, and easily managed access for builders, valuers and potential purchasers. Steve was very professional to deal with, great with tenants, and was an awesome negotiator. He kept us in the loop throughout the whole process, sometimes more than once a day, and made our whole selling journey easy and painless. The result we got was amazing! Thanks Steve. We'll definitely be using you again. Review submitted by David And Sonya McCulloch (Vendor) on Oct 16, 2021
