Home-loan advice is available through Lifestyle Mortgages with financial adviser Adam Toomer, and a Tips & Advice blog plus quarterly market updates keep clients informed.

Luxe Realty's Oriental Bay office sits at 132 Oriental Parade, in one of Wellington's most recognisable waterfront suburbs. It is home ground for an agency that has made premium results its calling card — the site's twin taglines, "Achieving Premium Results For Our Clients" and "Turning listings into lasting legacies", set the tone for everything the team does.
But premium here doesn't mean exclusive. Luxe Realty specializes in a diverse range of properties, from luxury homes and lifestyle residences through to more modest homes. The team is skilled at navigating the complexities of selling different property types across multiple price points, and argues that selecting the right real estate team is vital: effective marketing strategies tailored to your home's unique characteristics can significantly impact its sale. Luxe's extensive reach is designed to showcase each property to a wider audience, attracting local, national and international buyers.
At the centre of the business is Mike Lovell. In only a few years, Mike has earned what the agency describes as a Herculean reputation with clients and competitors alike. The clearest measure of that: he is now Wellington's highest reviewed agent on ratemyagent.co.nz, with over 245 five-star reviews — a testament, the site notes, to his quality, service and level of commitment. Behind him stands his own team in the fullest sense — wife Felicity and six daughters aged from 8 to 33 — and what Mike calls an exciting next chapter, as Luxe Realty makes its mark in Wellington and beyond.
That chapter is already visible in the current stock. Mike has 27 properties available across the region, and the spread says a lot about the agency's range: a brand new freehold home on Westhaven Drive in Tawa, a villa blending charm with a modern twist on Telford Terrace in Oriental Bay, and a family home with a backyard to love on East Street in Petone. Sales methods vary just as widely — price by negotiation, tender, deadline sale — matched to each property and each vendor's situation.
Selling starts with knowing what a home is worth, and Luxe offers two ways in. The Instant Estimate tool lets owners instantly view the current value of their property online, while a formal Market Assessment provides an accurate appraisal based on today's market. For those weighing up a sale, dedicated resources explain the costs of selling and the different ways to sell. The team's promise is straightforward: "We are dedicated to delivering you outstanding results, after all your home is your biggest asset."
Buyers are equally well looked after. The pitch — take the stress out of buying and let the team help you find the perfect property to suit your lifestyle — is backed by a dedicated group that supports clients every step of the way, no matter what their property journey.
Finance rounds out the picture. Through Lifestyle Mortgages, financial adviser Adam Toomer specialises in home loans and guides clients through the entire process, from application to settlement — whether that means a first home, an upgrade, an investment purchase, or refinancing, refixing or restructuring an existing loan, with a loan structure tailored to each situation. His quarterly home loan market updates are published on the site too; the latest notes confidence building, interest rates stabilising and lending conditions generally less restrictive, with finance organised early proving a real advantage for buyers.
