Testimonials

""We wish to thank Steve Starke for his help and expertise in the recent sale of our Mangere property. We acknowledge that a very short time frame was given to market the property and that it was listed just as the market appeared to be stalling. Despite that the marketing strategy identified a number of buyers leading to vigorous bidding at the auction. We had some doubts that the appraisal price range would be achieved at auction however the property ultimately sold for a figure in excess of the appraisal. It was a commendable result given the market conditions and reflect the time and effort Steve put into marketing and promoting the property. Selling at auction was a new experience for us. Steve showed patience and expertise in clearly explaining all aspects of the auction and making us very comfortable with the process. Throughout the build up to the auction we received frequent feedback following open homes and the tenant was dealt with in a courteous way, simplifying buyer access. We will happily consider Steve to market a property for us in the future. Thank you for a job well done." -Dennis Hooper (23/11/2015)"
""When we first met Steve Starke he was about to show another couple a selection of Lifestyle Blocks at Runciman, it was no problem for Steve to take us along. As we were looking at the sites he made us feel welcome and kept us in as part of the group, explaining all the aspects of the various sites. After our first meeting Steve has been very helpful and not pressured us into any decisions. He has worked with us in the purchase of one of the lifestyle blocks and has guided us through the purchase process in a very professional way. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve to any future purchasers as his guidance and honesty has been very helpful. -Gary Featherstone (19-6-2016)"
