The Real Estate Connector (TREC) was founded by Steve Grant, who recognised a growing need for property owners/investors to navigate the potential pitfalls in selecting the right real estate professional. With firsthand accounts of less than optimum results, Steve decided to take action to create a solution.
At TREC, we believe the use of tech innovations are valuable, but not at the expense of actual conversations and relationships with those at the coalface. We combine both.
Steve has been immersed in Real Estate for many years as an agent/salesman, investor, developer, and property manager. Working in Residential, Rural, and Commercial sectors. His passion for real estate drives TREC to identify standout professionals in the industry, ensuring clients feel confident and secure in their choices. Beyond real estate, Steve loves to spend time with his wife, adult kids and ever increasing grandchildren! Oh and travel, and create music.
At TREC, we are more than just a connector; we are facilitators of Real Connections.

Does TREC provide an independent & unbiased recommendation?
Yes, absolutely, that is our mission. We have been actively involved in the real estate industry for many years but purposely chosen to not work exclusively with one agency/brand and remain an independent, unbiased voice for clients so we can fully assist in finding the best agent or professional for their unique needs with total transparency as we are not biased, flying the flag, pushing or marketing one brand that may not be in the clients best interest. As we operate nationally, certain agencies may dominate in one area but not have the same presence or calibre of agents in another region. A particular brand/agency/agent maybe a better fit also regarding clients specific preferred sales method, deadlines, type of property, special conditions or database of potential buyers.
Are the services offered NZ wide?
Yes, as long as there is a great real estate professional in your area, if we haven't already, we will find them.
How does TREC recommend the right Sales Agent to sell my property?
Not all agents are created equal.
Analysis of agents that have sold similar properties for premium prices.
Based on any deadlines or marketing preferences you may have.
Certain agents excel more than others in specific sales methods.
Nurturing relationships with agents, sales and branch managers across the majority of the real estate agencies.
TREC has its finger on the pulse with who are the current movers and shakers selling real estate for premium prices in any given market.
TREC connects with agents that have nurtured a database of potential buyers for your type of property.
We can assist in leveraging the greater real estate community.
How do you recommend other real estate or investment professionals?
A mixture of criteria including analysing results, relationship building and partnerships with proven standouts in their given field.
Can I trust online Agent reviews only to make my decision?
Some portals can have reviews manipulated, hand picked or omitted, giving potentially inaccurate information if you are reliant solely on this to form a decision.
This is one of the reasons why TREC places importance on accurate, current data, real life relationships and partnerships in the industry.
What if I have specific needs in the Agent or Professional I choose?
We realise that each client has unique priorities when selecting an agent or consultant. While achieving a premium price is a top priority when choosing a sales agent, we realise everyone has unique priorities and may want specific qualities, characteristics and strengths in the professional they choose, that we endeavour to meet. Share your vision with us so we can make that tailor-made connection.
