25 years spent working in a sales role in one company is unusual. 25 years spent in a sales role at a consistently exceptional level of performance is so close to being unique that to describe it as being “almost unique” does it no justice! On a local, regional, national and international basis her performance has put her in the very highest echelons of real estate achievers. This is a comment made not only in the the context of Harcourts but in that of the entire industry.

In our industry, success tends to be measured in terms of how much people earn. As crass and simplistic this might be, it is the basis of awards and accolades and while she has been the receipt of an unprecedented number of these, it does not necessarily tell the whole story.

The all important measures that tell the real story behind the true champion in our business are those measures that have meaning to our clients; who have entrusted the sale of their properties to us. How do we measure what we have done for them? If we look at the critical measurement of success from a client’s point of view the list may read something like this; the sale to list ratio, the sale price relative to capital valuation and the time taken to sell.

These are all critical and meaningful indicators of success from the client’s perspective and valid measurements of such. They define quality of performance and not just volume. Di's performance in all of these measurements is at the highest level and that coupled with the volume of her work is what makes her a true professional. She has, for 25 years now achieved outstanding results for her clients coupled with a truly admirable level of performance.

If sheer hard work, enthusiasm, sound judgement, people skills and sales skills are on the sellers list of the qualities they seek in an agent, then they could do no better than to have Di act for them.

Di is based at the Harcourts Wellington City Office and is available for all enquiries.

Born in Wellington and educated at St Patrick’s College and Victoria University in Wellington Steve entered real estate in August 1993, having come from a background in property management. During the last 23 years, Steve’s Real Estate Career has included:
• Sales Manager for Challenge Realty’s Oriental Bay Office in 1996, during which time he took the office into the top ten in the Challenge Realty Group.
• Owner/Operator of three Challenge Realty Wellington offices in October 1997. During his 7 years at the helm, Steve grew the company from a sales team of twelve to a team of sixty eight sales people with four thousand house sales worth over 1.5 billion dollars!
• Restructuring Ray White Australia’s International Business model to increase their competitiveness with RE/MAX at a time when over 300 sales people, in Queensland alone, had left Ray White to join RE/MAX.
• Director of Operations for RE/MAX New Zealand in 2005, which involved a vast amount of travelling, attending a wide range of leading international industry training seminars in Denver, Chicago and Brisbane.
After more than four hundred flights during his three years in his corporate career, Steve decided to resign and return to what he loves doing most - selling real estate in Wellington. In 2007, Steve took up the position of Salesperson and Branch Sales Manager at Leaders Kilbirnie which he has held for nine years.

Successfully buying and selling real estate is about meeting people's needs, dreams and aspirations – and Lowe & co are a brand that exemplifies trust, honesty and integrity – attributes that Steve is passionate about!
The market is changing, the marketplace is strengthening, and Steve has been extremely impressed with Harcourts foresight and focus on Auction sales, where multiple buyers can help to achieve a higher sale price for a property. It is also one of the most transparent and preferred form of marketing for buyers.
His extensive experience in real estate spanning local, national and international markets is a huge benefit to his clients. This and his innovative and unique marketing techniques is ‘Setting a New BENCHMARQUE in Wellington Real Estate’.
