Selling my home was an enormous undertaking for me, especially as I was managing the process on my own. The scale of the project felt overwhelming at times, and I was uncertain about where to begin or how to proceed. After meeting with Stephyn, my concerns were eased. He immediately made me feel comfortable and confident about choosing him to represent my property. His professionalism and reassurance helped alleviate the stress I was experiencing. Sometimes, it is the minor details that make all the difference. During the appraisal meeting, I was particularly impressed when Stephyn provided me with a detailed timeline outlining all the tasks I needed to complete to meet the set date for listing my home. This clear plan showed exactly what needed to be done and when, making the process feel much more manageable. Additionally, Stephyn and Kate offered their assistance when needed, ensuring that I would not have to tackle everything on my own. Their commitment and support gave me greater confidence in moving forward with the sale. I have enjoyed working with Stephyn. The entire process has been supportive and reassuring, making what initially seemed like an overwhelming challenge much more manageable thanks to the guidance and help I received along the way. Thank you Stephyn and the team at Bayleys.

Stephyn St James cares deeply about his vendors and his buyers. His communication with us throughout the buying process was second to none, and we felt comfortable getting in touch with him with all our questions and requests. He supported us and provided information that was not expected but was very gratefully received to give us confidence in our buying and prepare us for auction. Any real estate agent who sheds a tear with you when you win an auction must be compassionate and really care about the work they do and the people they work with! Stephyn is kind, professional, attentive, hard working, tenacious and determined. Absolutely highly recommend.

Stephyn was amazing from the moment he walked in our door. Every step of the way from listing, open homes, private viewings and actually selling our property was such a smooth and enjoyable process. He was trustworthy, honest and professional. I could not recommend Stephyn more if I tried.

We had a very positive experience working with Stephyn. He was patient, respectful and always approachable throughout the entire process. His professionalism and clear communication made the process as stress-free as possible. We would recommend him without hesitation.

Selling my property with Stephyn was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From our very first conversation, Stephyn demonstrated a deep knowledge of the market, a clear strategy, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. What really stood out was the level of communication throughout the entire process. Stephyn kept me fully informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well managed. Stephyn's professionalism, attention to detail, and strong negotiation skills were evident throughout the entire process. It was clear that a great deal of care and effort went into presenting the property well and attracting the right buyers, which ultimately led to a fantastic result. Beyond the results, Stephyn is simply a great person to work with - approachable, honest, and always willing to go the extra mile.

Professionalism, without arrogance . . . Knowledgeable, without being condescending . . . Honest, and genuinely transparent. We would recommend Stephyn St James to anyone wanting to successfully sell or purchase a home. We felt Stephyn had our best interests at heart, as he assisted us navigate a sale in a somewhat difficult market. Above all, Stephyn's approach to negotiation ensures a win-win with all parties feeling positive about both the process and the result.

Both Nikki and I loved the experience and appreciated all the help and guidance given by Stephyn. We never felt pressured and Stephyn provided all the information sought in timely manner making our process effortless. I would highly recommend Stephyn and his assistant Kate as a selling and/or buying agent.

Stephyn & his assistant were very professional & customer focused, providing us with all the relevant information in a timely manner. They made the process easy.

We were a buyer on a recent transaction with Stephyn. Often times when buying or selling a property, the agent experience is mixed. Communication can feel indirect or not completely transparent, and offers get into messy territory. Our experience with Stephyn was the exact opposite. Stephyn was highly communicative, responsive, and transparent. He worked with us and the vendor to get to reasonable outcomes that worked for all of us. This supported our purchase going from offer stage to acceptance, to unconditional, within 10 days or so. Settlement went smoothly and we received the house with everything sorter. Great experience, thank you Stephyn.

When selling our home we were cautious when we started this process. Our home is our largest asset and we needed to find someone we could trust to work hard for us to get the best price and we were aware the market has been slow. Stephyn soon earned our confidence with his professional approach and very good communication. We knew we had to find someone who would love our property as we do.. and eventually Stephyn managed to do that. We are delighted with the outcome and will always be grateful to Stephyn, Kate and the Bayleys team.

As a buyer, we found Stephyn to be extremely personable and knowledgeable of the Mangawhai market. Having previously looked at properties a little further north, Stephyn was the first agent we met in Mangawhai and was proactive in contacting us following an open home to suggest another property that we could look at. We ended up purchasing the original property, and his communication and advice throughout the negotiation and sale process was excellent. We would certainly look to engage his services again in the future should the need arise.

As first home buyers, the process felt overwhelming, but Stephyn made it manageable and even enjoyable. He was incredibly patient with us that what we actually looking for and we toured multiple times to home viewings with 3-4 houses with him. Stephyn has excellent local market expertise in Mangawhai. He quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and never once pressured us to offer outside our budget. If you want an honest, responsive and truly caring agent, look no further than Stephyn St James.
