Steven Heaven

Associate Director, Licensed Estate Agent

“Maintaining a good rapport with both landlords and tenants is one of the most important components of successful property management. I fully appreciate the importance of an investment property to its owner and I’m never too busy to take their calls or attend to their requests.”

Steven's meticulous approach to the day-to-day management tasks and attention to detail ensures his client's properties provide market-related rental returns and the optimum capital appreciation.

"It's vital to ensure properties are presented in their best light and attract the most appropriate tenant who will not only meet their rental obligations on time but also maintain the premises entirely to the owner's satisfaction."

Approachable and always willing to go that extra step to meet his client's needs, Steven has a natural talent for developing enduring business relationships.

Steven's intimate knowledge of the complex Residential Tenancies Act enables him to provide both owners and tenants with timely, authoritative advice on all the legislative requirements that apply to the leasing or rental of residential property.

A keen Kangaroo supporter, Steven enjoys quality time with his young family, basketball, a round of golf, socializing with friends and spending time with his lovely wife and two beautiful children.
