An outstanding culture and a client referral rate that would be the envy of any other business has once again propelled
a Queenstown-based property management company to the top of its field.
The eight-strong team at Housemart Queenstown left larger city firms in their dust as they picked up the title of
Property Management Company of the Year for the second year running.
Not to be outdone, team member Nadia Hubbard picked up a top three placing in the Property Manager of the Year category
while Housemart owner Hayley Stevenson also grabbed a podium position as a finalist in the Business Development Manager
of the Year awards category.
Since launching in 2011, Housemart has established a solid reputation as one of the best property management firms in
the country, leading the way with innovative systems, technology, service and customer care.
It’s won multiple awards over the years which Hayley puts down to its investment in workplace culture, building the
entire brand on the values of internal and external relationships.
“Focusing on our internal office environment and culture means our property managers are proud to be part of the
Housemart brand and this shines through to their clients,” says Hayley.
“Our big focus on culture means we’re able to foster authentic and meaningful connections and deliver exceptional
service to clients, which in turn pays off with 99% of clients coming from referrals.
“We’re the rental specialists in Queenstown and we only do property management, we’re not interested in being involved
in sales.”
Housemart picked up the latest awards for its already groaning trophy cabinet at the annual 2019- 2020 Leading Property
Managers Association Awards, held in Auckland.
Hayley Stevenson said they were “extremely excited” to receive their awards and accolades.
“We’re still a very small company compared to many in our industry which makes it even more special. We’d like to thank
locals for their amazing support, the owners and our fantastic clients who rent our homes, and of course the dedicated
team of tradespeople who help us on a daily basis.”
In recent weeks Housemart also made the top three in New Zealand for the REINZ Property Management Company of the Year
Award, in the medium business category.
