Just moved in! We love the space and light of the house and it is certainly in a great area, and suits our needs perfectly. Thanks very much, I have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone in need of help to look for a place in Auckland!

Moving to New Zealand from Japan with a dog and two cats in tow had us really anxious until we found HomeFinders. After buying Stephen's EXCELLENT books and going through them, we decided to take full advantage of his expertise and have him help us find a rental property. Stephen listened carefully to our needs and found us a place that was perfect for us as we settle into a new country. He and his wife went the extra mile to make sure we were well taken care of in our first couple of weeks here. We firmly believe that without Stephen's expert help, we would either still be looking for a place a month down the road, or would have settled for something much less suitable.

Thanks Stephen for all your work and the three pets also thank you for finally getting them a big backyard. 

Stephen was very helpful in providing an objective perspective of our intended property purchase and helped us establish our maximum price limit.

On auction day Stephen represented us while we were on the other end of a phone in Sydney. He was very calm and consultative throughout and was ultimately successful in buying the property on our behalf against stiff competition. We are convinced his experience, strategy and bidding advice saved us a significant amount of money and gave us a winning advantage.

Discovering Home Finders was as great a find as the true gem of a home you found for me!

Stephen's in depth knowledge of Auckland real estate plus his friendly and professional approach make him THE person to go to if you want to take the pain out of buying a property in Auckland. Stephen's fee, which was a fixed sum, was totally reasonable. We highly recommend him.

We are not novice home buyers but realised that in a highly competitive market we needed every advantage we could muster to secure the home we wanted. Stephen’s astute advice and recommendations were right on the money when it came to securing our dream property in a little known market with a challenging agent. Without his patient and calming influence, ready availability, knowledge of the inner workings of real estate and insightful strategy we would not be the very happy and relieved home owners we are. We would unreservedly recommend Stephen.

I am very happy with my property purchase and don't believe I would have got it for the price I did without Stephen. It was definitely money well spent. I would certainly engage Stephen again for another property purchase and I've already referred three friends/acquaintances to Auckland HomeFinders.

You superstars!!!

Thanks for your resilience and help throughout. Your advice and support has been unwavering which is much appreciated. Thank you.

Just a quick note to say thank you for your help in finding us our first home. We are thrilled with the outcome and are looking forward to moving in.

Happy dancing all over the house right now! Thank you thank you thank you!

We engaged Stephen at the beginning of our property search. His ability to help us determine our requirements, identify target suburbs, and use his knowledge of the market to find a range of suitable options was invaluable. Once we'd narrowed down to specific properties Stephens support and knowledge to determine the value of the property, bidding strategy and appropriate checks and building assessments provided comfort that we were making the right choice and ultimately securing the right property at the right price. Would use again.

Bought a house in Auckland whilst based overseas. Stephen made the whole process easy and stress free. He was professional, patient and most importantly understood and respected what i was wanted/needed. Can’t rate him higher and would work with him again. Silipa

I first approached Stephen after spending a few years fruitlessly trying to enter the housing market in Auckland by myself. He was patient and helpful in guiding and navigating through the painful process like a pro. He helped carry out the due diligence before committing to an offer, guided and represented in the auction process and secured a successful result at a great price. I respect him for his forthright honesty and professionalism.

We engaged Stephen to help us buy a property in Auckland while we were living in Sydney and unable to travel due to Covid-19. He was fantastic to work with across the board, couldn't have asked for more. His expert local knowledge and the access through his contacts made all the difference in us finding a wonderful home at a good price, and gave us the confidence to buy sight unseen. Can't recommend him highly enough.

I can highly recommend Stephen if you need a person on the ground to help you find a home in Auckland. He was everything we could have hoped for in this role. He communicated regularly and clearly. He listened to our wishes. His advise was sensible and invaluable. He visited many properties for us and sent detailed information and videos of the ones that were possibles. We ended up with a property that suited us well. He also went way above and beyond in helping us manage all the annoying things one has to accomplish when purchasing and settling on a new home. We could absolutely not have achieved this without Stephen. It might have seemed like a a lot of money but in reality for the service he offered, and one we needed, it was worth it. Highly highly recommend!

Just great all-round! On deciding to buy an investment property back in New Zealand, while living in Europe, we reviewed and spoke to a couple of buyers agents, where it was quickly clear to us that Stephen at Auckland Homefinders was by far the best in understanding the market and more importantly our needs. We were extremely happy with the entire process and especially the outcome; great service, professional and experienced advice with clear guidance and continuous communication, which resulted in securing a great investment property in a great location, at a very good price. While you should never assign all of your own due diligence to a third party, Stephen did a fantastic job for us in taking out a lot of the unknowns, risks and stress from the process, especially when we were sitting on the other side of the world. I highly recommend him to any other expats (or locals as well) and he will be the first place I head to next time I want to add to my Auckland property portfolio.

As we currently live in Singapore it was important to have someone we could trust and knew the market. His knowledge and advice was invaluable.
