‘you’ll be glad you chose Summit’,
and to achieve that, every Summit team member aims to provide a real estate service that is second to none. We value relationships. We have maintained a close connection with our community since our first day of operation. Summit has grown with the region through numerous events, sports, cultural and other community-based initiatives, including 5 years as principal sponsor of the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter. While we source an ever-increasing percentage of inquiries from our high-profile, web-based marketing, the vast majority of business is still completed face-to-face with our clients and salespeople.
Summit maintains a simple strategy; we provide our salespeople with the best resources, marketing, training, technology, and management support to achieve the best result possible for every client. Built on a solid foundation of many years of ethical trading, Summit is a member of the NZ Realtors Network - the most successful group of Real Estate companies in New Zealand. Summit has unique advantages; salespeople enjoy the benefits of working in a progressive multi-office environment, no franchise fees sent out of town, and the region’s largest real estate agency.

Against the stunning backdrop of Picton, our annual Summit conference delivered far more than just corporate training. With 80+ attendees—including Summit real estate licensees, Summit property management team, and our management team—gathered together for professional development, it was our chance to collectively sharpen the skills that make the difference when markets shift, when that "sure thing" needs more time, or when we need to pivot our approach entirely.
This year's summit focused on the theme "How to Sell More to Residential Investors," featuring three exceptional speakers who brought both expertise and inspiration to our annual training intensive:
David Palfreyman - Auckland
Real estate coach and trainer who transforms agents from zero to hero with content-rich interactive sessions.
Dr. Alia Bojilova - Auckland
Performance psychologist and former NZ Army officer delivering masterclasses in resilience and high-pressure negotiation.
Ed McKnight - Auckland
Property economist and co-host of The Property Academy Podcast, turning complex market data into practical investment advice.
Beyond the exceptional learning and professional development, our annual summit created unforgettable moments of team bonding and memorable entertainment. As the military saying reminds us: "You don't rise to the occasion—you sink to the level of your training." Our Summit conference ensured that level reached new heights for everyone involved.
Opened at 526 Main Road Stoke, Stoke in 1992
