Steve Collier - Genuine People Get Genuine Results

Steve Collier has had an interest in property for most of his life. He and his wife have built or bought 11 homes over the years, giving him a firsthand understanding of the property journey from every angle. After spending many years as a small business owner in retail, Steve found he was able to communicate well with people and put them at ease. When he sold his last business, he decided to put his passion for property and his communication skills to work in real estate.

“My advice to myself would be to be myself, be genuine and do not try to be someone you are not. Vendors like genuine people, not pretenders.”

It is a philosophy that has shaped Steve’s entire career. He builds rapport with clients quickly, stays honest and realistic, and lets the quality of Arizto’s offering do the talking.

At Arizto, Steve firmly believes they have the best marketing, the fairest commission structure and a proposition that sellers genuinely appreciate. “They appreciate not having to pay for any marketing until their property is sold. That has unrivalled appeal.” No upfront costs, no sale no fee, and a willingness to help where necessary. It is simplicity at its best.

For Steve, the most important things buyers and sellers value are straightforward. Sellers love the no upfront costs and the no sale, no fee model. Buyers love being able to complete the sale and purchase agreement electronically. “Simplicity is what they like, and our willingness to help where necessary.”

He is keen to challenge the myth that agents are out to rip people off or mislead people. “We are all human, but we have buyers’ and sellers’ best interests at heart.” It is a defence of the industry that comes from someone who genuinely lives by those values.

His advice to sellers is clear: “Presentation is everything. Declutter and present your home in its best possible light.” And the biggest lesson he has learned? “Communicate, communicate, communicate. Review the marketing regularly.” It is the kind of repetition that reflects how seriously Steve takes the ongoing relationship with his clients.

Steve lives in the area where he sells, and he promotes the benefits of the region to every buyer and seller he meets. From vineyards and cafes to bars, beaches, rivers, mountains and great people, the area has an enormous amount to offer. Growth in the region has been rapid, with average property prices still rising while remaining more affordable than most areas of Canterbury.

Steve has had many appreciative clients who have been amazed at the prices he has achieved above their expectations. His reviews on Rate My Agent tell the story of an agent who consistently over-delivers.

Outside of real estate, Steve loves gardening, walking and spending time with his family, children and grandchildren. He would love to start playing golf again if time allowed. And he enjoys nothing more than sharing a glass of wine or two with friends and family.

If he could list a property for any celebrity? “Jasmine from A Place In The Sun. She is a natural presenter, a great communicator, a natural salesperson and beautiful.”

Steve Collier is proof that being genuine works. No pretence, no gimmicks, just honest service from someone who knows property inside and out. In a growing region with enormous potential, his approach is exactly what buyers and sellers are looking for.
