Leonie & Steve have sold 500+ Wellington homes. Known for honest advice, smart marketing, and skilled negotiation. No handoffs to junior agents - just calm, experienced service, clear communication, and a hands-on approach that delivers strong results.

Entering real estate in the middle of the GFC was certainly a risk, but one worth taking.

Leonie and Steve have now sold over 500 homes across Wellington and have navigated every kind of market — from two people turning up at an open home, to 100+ buyers through the door. That experience matters. When the market shifts, it doesn’t ease into it — it flips fast. Having agents who’ve been through it before gives you the edge.

What sets them apart is how they work: no junior agents, no handoffs, and no outsourcing. Every detail — from the strategy to the negotiation — is handled by them.

Steve brings a strong background in HR, union negotiation, and risk management. He’s the calm in the chaos, skilled at disclosure, and knows exactly how to manage sticky situations — whether it’s with tenants, neighbours, or council. He’s also a trained conflict resolution expert. Nothing fazes him.

Leonie has a Master’s in Behavioural Psychology and a business diploma with a focus on marketing. She worked as a process manager at NZTE — which now translates into ‘nothing falling through the cracks.’ She leads the marketing side, writes every word of your listing, and crafts a pre-sale plan that gets buyers to show up and act. She’s also studied what actually works in digital marketing, beyond the agent clichés — because just posting a house on Facebook won’t cut it anymore.

Her staging and prep advice consistently turns ‘lived-in’ homes into standout listings that photograph beautifully — and results speak. Many of their campaigns attract dozens of buyers before the first open home.

They’re based in the Western and Northern suburbs — including Churton Park, Johnsonville, Khandallah, Karori, Ngaio, Newlands, Wadestown, Northland, Wilton, Grenada Village and many others. They have built a reputation for straight-talking advice, strong results, and loyal repeat clients.

Whether it’s your first sale or your fifth, they’ll get it done — calmly, strategically, and without the spin.

Let’s be honest — real estate is full of fluff. You’ve probably heard every agent claim they go the extra mile and treat you like family. That’s nice, but we’d rather show you what we actually do.

We’ve sold over 500 homes across Wellington — from Churton Park to Karori, Johnsonville to Ngaio. That means we’ve met every type of property, and just as many buyer personalities.

Steve’s background in union negotiation and HR means he doesn’t get rattled. He’s dealt with things that make noisy neighbours seem charming. Calm, strategic, and good in the chaos, he’s particularly strong when things get sticky — risk, disclosure, LIMs or buyer nerves.

Leonie handles the marketing and preparation side. She’s obsessed with staging (our garage looks like a homewares aisle), takes listing photos seriously, and writes every word of our ads — no outsourcing, no templates. She also runs our social media and makes sure your campaign gets eyeballs and action, not just likes.

We wrote a book — The Ultimate Guide for Home Sellers — because we were tired of seeing owners confused and under-informed. You’ll get a copy if you work with us. No fluff, no pressure, just smart, plain-English advice.

We live with our three dogs: Tessie (the retired working dog), Belle (bossy red Dachshund), and Dexter (Dachshund #2 — enthusiastic but chaotic).

We don’t wear matching jackets or hand you off to junior agents. We do show up, explain things properly, and take your sale seriously — even if we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
