Rene lives and loves the Wellington Lifestyle. With a background in Financing and Property Investment, and being passionate about property, he specializes in helping people to build their investment property portfolios.

Areas of particular interest are CBD and fringe CBD properties particularly new apartments, townhouses, home and Income properties and 'off the plan' opportunities.

“I love new properties because it is like a clean start”. When you sell a property to someone you want it to be a positive experience for them especially if it is their first home or investment.

New properties also are also very desirable to the rental market where the discerning tenant wants quality for their money. Quality properties attract quality tenants.

Also from an investment perspective new properties are better for depreciation and suit people looking to reduce their tax liability.

Having an investment property is not just about buying a property and then renting it. There is a host of other services and information to consider to make the investment effective. Tax, accounting, insurance, management, etc all have to be put in place and having an agent who is a property investor as well being an experienced agent can really help. SO whether you are a beginner or a seasoned investor call Rene today to have a chat.

up to date with developments, is always professional in the true meaning
of the word, and his enthusiasm is contagious. I have no hesitation in
recommending Rene to look after your real estate requirements. Keep up
the great work " - Elizabeth

I value Williams work, not simply because he carried out his work professionally and speedily, but I felt impressed by his manner when presented with a formidable yet delicate challenge. His persistence, determination and effort both individually and in a team represents to me a model of professional service.“ Jeanne Neill, Mount Cook.

Sale of 11 Rawhiti Terace, Kelburn, Wellington

We selected William Calder to be the agent for the sale of our house in Wellington, because he stated from the very first that his strategy was to devote his care and attention to only a small range of carefully marketed properties and this is exactly what he did. His dedication to detail, to keeping us informed of viewer’s opinion, his understanding and advice in relation to sales strategy and structure and his willingness to help in a myriad of small and large ways was all exceptional. We were resident overseas for the entire sale and he coped admirably with the increased complexities this imposed upon us. He achieved the sale we wanted in the time frame we needed and this seems the best testament of all. William clearly has a deep experience and understanding of the Wellington housing market and we would without hesitation recommend him to anyone wishing to sell.

Sold for over 1.2 million

We were delighted with the service William provided throughout the sales process. William gave us excellent advice and assistance with marketing the property which really showed in the high exposure we received, and the sale result.

William worked hard to follow up and give individual attention to each and every prospective purchaser, no mean feat with over 100 people through our property! He is approachable and communicates well, clearly explaining each part the sales process to us and the buyers. He tells it like it is and this put our minds at ease in what could have been a stressful event.

William Calder recently achieved a sale for my Northland house despite the current flat market. I was very impressed by William’s hard work and persistence in locating the right buyer for the property, and his professionalism and strong negotiating skills in bringing the sale through to successful conclusion. William clearly has very good knowledge and experience of the Wellington property market, and I can recommend his services to any prospective vendor.

I had every confidence that Will, would succeed in selling my apartment. He impressed me throughout as a personable, enthusiastic real estate professional. I would certainly be happy to list with him again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others selling their home.

We highly recommend William to be entrusted with your most valuable asset and we will only list with him when we are selling Alan and Tere - Strathmore. Sold for over $450,000

I am writing to thank William for all of his hard work with selling our Karori home. We had a price in mind that was on the high side. But William was committed to helping us move and was determined to achieve our price. It was the second home he has sold for us and will hopefully not be the last. Lan - Karori. Sold for over $910,000

Thank you Will for your hard work. You were there to help when we really needed it. I would recommend you to everyone when selling an investment property. You listened to our needs, and delivered what you promised. Karen - The Terrace.

He readily accepted our challenge to sell the property within three weeks as we were committed to purchase elsewhere. Under his guidance we received multiple offers which far exceeded our expectations and which resulted in a successful sale. This was the second home he has sold for us and we highly recommend him. Earl and Jo - Newtown and then Wadestown. Sold for over $650,000

William is professional yet has a very approachable manner, extremely hard working, honest and an informed agent. He kept in constant contact and made every step of the process hassle free for us. I highly recommend him to sell your home and will be using him again in the future. Roger -
