Stephen Parkes

Residential Sales Consultant Rototuna

Buying or selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

So it makes sense to work with someone who recognizes that every customer is different and requires a genuine and personalised real estate experience, rather than a “one size fits all” approach.

I am that person.

Not only am I equipped with a strong work ethic and attention to detail, I also thrive on achieving exceptionally high levels of customer satisfaction. My belief is that superior service is delivered by going above and beyond for my clients. You can rely on me to respond to your needs every step of the way with honesty, clear communication, appropriate action and professional advice.

Prior to my career in real estate, I was an On-Premise Account Manager in the Waikato/BOP for Hancocks, representing many well-known wine and spirit brands. So I recognize that having successful solutions for my clients is imperative, as is maintaining a professional demeanor and confidentiality.

I also had a career that spanned 18 years as an International Flight Attendant for Air New Zealand, the majority of this time focused on the airline's premium customers. I acted as a brand ambassador for the airline, and was also relied upon for my Japanese language abilities onboard.

I am conscientious and my background in customer service and sales means that I have an excellent ability to relate to people from all walks of life. I take my role seriously and have a genuine need for your experience to be as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

Outside of real estate, I am a mum to two sporting, fun-loving boys and love being actively involved in their education and activities. I grew up in the King Country and have lived in Hamilton since attending Waikato University. So I have watched the expansion of the city with interest and am passionate about sharing my local knowledge to help facilitate excellent outcomes in Hamilton’s real estate market.

So when you are ready for your next real estate decision, call me for genuine service and real results.

What clients say

My husband and I had the delight of working with Stephen Parkes from Lodge real estate when selling our rental. We found Stephen to be efficient, thorough and friendly. He did his research and presented us with an effective overview and marketing plan, outlining what needed to be done and when. He was 'straight up' and professional. Being a teacher I found this detail and forward planning reassuring.

Stephen kept in regular contact, keeping us up to date with any interest and feedback from the open homes.

We were very pleased with the final result and got more than what we'd hoped for. We will be using Stephen again and highly recommend him to anyone.

Bridget and Alun Griffiths

We recently sold our home with Stephen Parkes from Lodge Real estate. This is the first time we have done anything like this and the thought was pretty daunting but after meeting with Steve we were quickly put at ease.

Steve was very patient with us, he sat down and explained the process of putting our house on the market. He kept us fully informed with how the marketing campaign was going with weekly updates.

We were very pleased with the amount of interest Steve drummed up for our property and the outcome of the auction exceeded our expectations.

If we were ever in the position to sell a house again we would not hesitate to contact Steve.

Adele & Glenn Gower.

Stephen Parkes from Lodge Real Estate recently sold our home. The stress usually associated with selling a house was completely eliminated by Steve's level of service.

We found his approach to be professional and determined, yet friendly, stress-free and genuine - a perfect mix.

From the first meeting and appraisal, through to auction day and settlement, and everything in between, Stephen's communication was outstanding. We always knew what was happening and weekly reports kept us updated about the high levels of interest he had generated in our home. By following his advice and guidance, we achieved a result which more than exceeded our expectations.

We would have no hesitation in using Steve again for our real estate needs and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering selling.
