Steve has always been so professional and helpful when we have dealt with him in both selling and purchasing properties in Tekapo. Nothing was ever a problem. His experience and patience was above and beyond exceptional. Thanks again.
Totally professional and extremely easy to deal with. A real pleasure.
Excellent service. Through perseverance and patience Steve succeeded where others had tried and failed. His approach was very professional and we where well informed all the way through. We would have no hesitation in either recommending or using Steve again ourselves.
I can't fault our experience with Steve. He was amazing throughout the entire process, keeping in regular contact and always ensuring we were well informed throughout the transaction. We also really appreciated his willingness to help out with all the questions we fired at him (which proved so helpful when buying a property at the other end of the country).
Fantastic- absolutely the best buying experience we have had!
From the first encounter till after the sale, we felt your genuine interest to serve both parties, the vendor and us the buyer. You've gone beyond our expectations of a real estate person and were very prompt available, with information and advice. We really appreciate your friendly, supportive and courteous attitude. You can be assured of our recommendation and if needed to be a returning customer ourselves. What you could have done better...: apart of knocking the price, hahah, nothing: just keep up the good, honest work ethic, you've already applying so well. A big Thank you from both of us.
We recently purchased a house through Steve and the level of professionalism, engagement and focus on the desired outcome was something you very rarely experience. I am not sure there is truly anything you could do differently. Thank You
It was a great honour to deal with Steve over the sale of my property. Nothing was a problem and we were kept informed about everything.
We found Steve to be most professional and courteous in all matters concerning the sale of our house. Don't think he could have done any more for us. We gained a real friend.
Steve is a complete professional and extremely dedicated to his profession. He's an amazing multi tasker, he communicates effectively and efficiently and is genuinely interested in those buyers/vendors that he is working with. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Mackenzie District.
It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Steve. Steve was very professional, motivated and organised. Steve has a lovely manner, great communication skills and a good sense of humour. Thank you.
Excellent service provided by Steve. Professional, competent and responsive.
Well organised and stress free. Very happy with the outcome.
From being a complete novice in house buying to becoming a house owner, not bad and all up to Steve's always available approach. I had no experience in real estate so having Steve's help was wonderful. Steve helped me in every step. Steve was always there at any hour to answer questions.
Working with Steve took what was potentially an extremely stressful process into a smooth and worry free one.
We had been dealing with Steve for well over a year, trying to find a property in Tekapo in our budget. He understood what we were looking for and was always respectful of that, contacting us directly when the property we bought came up, as he knew it was exactly what we had been looking for - and he was right! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience dealing with Steve through the purchase process, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way, right down to helping us move our furniture in! His communication is second to none, and he has a very genuine desire to achieve the best possible outcome for vendor and purchaser. We have no hesitation in recommending him.
As always, Steve is a delight to work with. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating ... can't beat perfection!
Great to know Steve. He is very friendly helpful person. We all satisfied with this purchase.
Steve’s friendly, professional approach made the buying process very easy. We look forward to the next project (in many years time).
Steve was most helpful from when we first met him - we were very fortunate to find our new holiday home very quickly. Steve was always there with the answers to any queries we had and made this a very easy experience for us.
Steve made the sale of our house so easy and stress free! He guided us step by step through the sale process, he's extremely knowledgable in all things real estate and he's a heck of a nice guy as well! I can't recommend him enough.
The whole process was very smooth. Steve’s communication was excellent- he was always prompt at replying to my phone calls and emails.
Very professional to deal with.
Steve was very approachable, knowledgeable, & always answered our questions promptly. Our holiday home sold quickly & we have recommended him to other people in the area thinking of selling.
Honest, knowledgeable, straight up professional transaction. Would not hesitate to work with Steve again. You are very good at tailoring your approach to suit the customer. Don’t change a thing.
Very positive. Your attention to detail, good communication, efforts to keep me informed were much appreciated.
Steve helped us in our property search in every way he could. He showed us a range of properties. Steve helped us narrow down the type of property we were looking forward and found us exactly the right fit for us. His knowledge of the market and intuitive guidance ensured we got our dream home. Steve does his absolute best on his client's behalf - regardless of whether you are a potential purchaser or seller. We would highly recommend Steve Howes to anyone in the property market. He is a total professional, a genuine person and he works hard to find you what you are looking for. Thanks Steve, we are over the moon with our new home.
Outstanding service and professionalism from Steve personally. Very quick turn around from brief to sale at a good sale price.
Steve always demonstrated a high level of professionalism and responsiveness in his dealings.
Very professional. Great peace of mind in the purchase of our property. Awesome to work with. One of the best agents we have ever dealt with.
Steve was very professional & very helpful.
Smooth and stress free.
We have bought and sold a number of homes over the years, but our experience with Steve was by far the the best we have encountered. It was his professionalism, the level of confidentiality that was maintained and the consistent communication that made this a seamless and easy process. If he said he would contact you, he did! He truly knew the market, but more importantly he understood our needs and he represented those without compromise. We would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone who is selling or buying their greatest asset.
Steve is honest, told me exactly how it was with a number of properties. I can fully recommend Steve to all prospective buyers.
Working with Steve was an absolute pleasure. His professionalism, experience, and personal attention was exceptional. He kept me updated and informed at regular intervals and certainly went beyond the call of duty to conclude a satisfactory outcome for all parties.
We approached Steve to sell our property in Burke Pass and he teamed up with his business colleague Annette Stanley in Fairlie to achieve the best result we could have hoped for. Steves' professional manner and local knowledge meant we soon had a multiple offer situation on our property and were able to get a top price for it. Steves' communication was second to none, keeping us informed every step of the way on how things were going. Thanks so much for your effort Steve it was a great experience!
Excellent! Professional, and well executed.
Steve went beyond the call of duty to help us as we sought to purchase a property in Tekapo. He is a man of integrity who made everything as easy for us as he possibly could. Even after the transaction was completed he was chasing up tradies and being available to open the house for Council sign-off. Never found that in a real estate agent before. Thanks Steve, was a pleasure working with you.
From the start of the process right through to the conclusion we were informed what was happening, what we needed to do and in what time frame. It has been a pleasure dealing with Steve and we have no hesitation in recommending him to any client who would like our opinion.
On behalf of my wife and I, we would like to thank Steve for a really good result on the Sale of our property in Lake Tekapo. Steve's approach was very positive and welcomed and he made sure that he gave his very best for his clients and yes he did. All we can say about Steve's approach and result is outstanding. We recommend Steve and would not hesitate in using his services in the future. Thanks Steve Great Job. Darrin & Lyn
Keep me informed when he knew something. It was good and I knew he would call or email when he had news.
Fantastic we feel Steve has been the best agent we have ever dealt with. He was always willing to answer questions and go the extra mile.
Excellent experience, very professional
Pleasure to deal with, very attentive to all our queries and requests.
The extremely awesome experience to work with you through the whole transaction process. You are a professional agent and willing to help us to answer all the question we have. This is very important to the new residents. Appreciated all your support and look forward to meet you again for the next transaction!
From our first contact with Steve when we decided to sell our property at Tekapo, the service he provided was first class. His proposal outlined the current Tekapo market status along with a great summary of recent sales in the area and the different options we had available to us to market the property. His advice and guidance led to a quick successful sale of the property that we were very happy with. Throughout the process his communication and pleasant manner made what could have been quite a stressful process very easy and enjoyable. His service even extended to the loan of his personal trailer for us to use to assist with clearing and cleaning the property after the sale. I would certainly use the services of Steve again if the situation arose and have no hesitation in recommending him to friends.
Steve was very professional and offered every assistance throughout the purchasing process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve when purchasing or selling property.
Steve was always polite, listened well and did what he promised. Not only that but he went the extra mile to help the sale process for me.
Steve was highly professional and trustworthy during the process. We felt really well listened to and he went the extra mile to both facilitate the sale as well as to answer all our queries about further aspects of the property once we'b bought it. Seriously Steve I think you're one of the best agents we've worked with.
Steve was very proactive thru our whole experience of purchasing this property. He was extremely helpfull when we struck "offer" time and am sure we would have walked away without his input. Constant emails and phone calls were very encouraging and wouldn't hesitate to advise other potential customers of him. No doubt we will be talking again in the future
Pleasant, uncomplicated, full confidence in working with Steve who has always been very professional.

We would thoroughly recommend his services whether you are purchasing or selling a property.
I looked for property in the Tekapo area over a long period of time and continued to use Steve because of his local knowledge and his willingness to spend time with me , he made sure all options were covered . Steves help was invaluable and I would use him again should I need an agent .
Very happy with the attention Steve gave us leading up to, and including the purchase of a property. He kept us informed throughout with email, and phone calls, on upcoming listings and properties/sales of interest. Any questions or queries were dealt with quickly. We also felt he had taken the time to understand what we were looking for.
Steve was very helpful in our recent purchase, so helpful in fact that we had the confidence to buy our new unit in Peppers Resort Tekapo without even visiting the property or seeing it in person. Steve was always prompt and accurate with his communication and very pleasant to deal with, offering good advice and local knowledge. One of the easiest Real Estate experiences.
Steve, you made it easy for us to sell our property. You were proactive and helpful. You know your market and you knew our property very well. You worked fast to resolve any open questions and you were available for our questions when needed.
Awesome from start to finish. Steve provided an exceptional service when selling our holiday house. He communicated with us regularly through the whole process up to the day of exchange and subsequently to and we appreciated this since we live in a different location. Steve went the extra mile, arranging cleaners and checking in on progress.
We have been impressed through the whole process, from our first contact with Steve through to when the sale was finalised and when we took possession of the house. This included the open and honest answers and genuineness through the whole purchase process,and making himself available to fit in with timing that suited us on numerous occasions from our first viewing until the keys were handed over. Thanks.
The service was exemplary! Steve is a consumate professional, we couldn't have been more pleased and impressed with his attention to detail, efficiency and his 'can do' attitude. Steve also takes the time to fully explain the intricacies of property transactions to ensure his clients are properly prepared for the exciting journey of purchasing or selling a property. We would recommend Steve in a heartbeat.
Our experience with Steve was exceptional from the time he came up with his value of our home to the selling of it. For someone new to the real estate business he has exceptional knowledge of the local market especially at this time when the market is changing so quickly. We wouldn't hesitate recommending Steve to any other prospective buyers or sellers.
Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very thorough, very professional and very pleasant. He also came through with the desired sale of our property in a short period of time. We highly recommend his services.
