About Steve and Justine

With an outstanding track record and deep local expertise, Steve Slicker is one of Upper Hutt’s most trusted real estate professionals. Steve is part of the Bayleys Real Estate team, offering extensive knowledge of the Hutt Valley market, having successfully sold properties in Trentham, Silverstream, Wallaceville, Heretaunga, and beyond.

Steve’s real estate journey began in 1995. He joined Tommy’s Real Estate in 2003, and by his second year had become their top-performing agent in Upper Hutt. His talent and results caught wider attention and he was headhunted by the world’s largest real estate firm, where he ranked in the Top 20 nationwide before returning to Tommy’s in 2007.

Following a recent merger, Steve is proud to have brought his expertise to Bayleys.

Steve’s philosophy is simple yet powerful: real estate is about service first. He believes that when the right process is followed with genuine care, sales become a natural outcome, not just a transaction, but a trusted experience.

"The main difference I offer is the belief that real estate is more service than sales, with both vendors and buyers being comfortable in the knowledge that they are working with thorough and professional real estate individuals, with nothing being too much trouble", says Steve.

Let my clients speak for me ..

 "Steve’s professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness made him a pleasure to deal with and the process was completely stress free. I have dealt with many Real Estate agents both here and in Australia and in my opinion he is miles ahead of the rest. I would not consider using any other agent for future real estate matters. " (K.A.B)

"When we sell again we will certainly be contacting Steve. Why would we call anyone else?" (W.W)

Steve's Significant Points of Difference

  1. If I don't return your call within 3 business hours then I will take $500 from the fee. Would any other agent do that? No! So what else wouldn't they do for you?
  2. Client Confidentiality. I believe that your reasons for selling are your business and should not be divulged to prospective purchasers.
  3. I have a unique advantage no other company enjoys, and that is that your property is exposed to our entire team both in Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt.
  4. Buyers are sourced from contacts and in-house databases. We don't rely solely on Open Homes to locate buyers.
  5. Tommy’s is the Wellington area member of the NZ Realtors Network Limited. This is a selected group of independently owned and operated real estate practitioners throughout New Zealand who operate a referral network and also exchange marketing ideas and initiatives.
