Johnny Cleven

About Me
Be honest, don't be pushy, and treat others the way you would like
to be treated yourself.

These three points, along with professionalism and knowledge in the real estate field, Johnny feels are very important keys to maintaining a happy and trouble-free median between vendors and purchasers.

Many years ago, Johnny was made redundant from his last employment due to a drop-off in the industry so he decided to put his house on the market and relocate his family. After experiencing some of the small things that annoyed him during the marketing of his home, as well as a lack of communication from the agents who were in control of his biggest asset, he decided that if he could work on the things that
frustrate vendors when marketing their homes, then he believed he could have a successful career in real estate.

So, Johnny decided to take his home off the market, completed his Real Estate papers, sold his own home and relocated to Wattle Downs, where he and his wife still reside today.

Johnny achieved national millionaire sales club status in his first year, which in itself proved he has great product knowledge but also the ability to achieve results. Johnny has now been in real estate for 30 years and has personally been involved in buying, selling, and building property and believes there is nothing like first-hand knowledge of the rewards property can bring.

What he enjoys best about South Auckland is the wide variety of properties from small investments to family homes and larger lifestyle properties. He also loves the many diversities in cultures, nationalities, and the customs that make South Auckland a great place to live.

Johnny and his wife of 40 years have two sons and five grandchildren raised in Wattle Downs, so if you're looking for a salesperson with experience, proven results, and great knowledge of the Wattle Downs and South Auckland market, then give Johnny a call - obligation-free!

Testimonials

Awesome Marketing

Louise - Seller

"I met Johnny two years ago when my neighbours were selling their house. When it came time to put my house on the market, I contacted Johnny as he genuinely showed an interest in my home which was important to me. He was fantastic in explaining the best marketing approach to selling my home which I found really reassuring. He put together an awesome marketing campaign to auction my home. Within the first couple of days, he presented me with a cash unconditional offer which well exceeded my expectations! I was totally blown away, but decided to proceed with the auction campaign, Johnny was very understanding and backed me all the way. come auction day my home sold well above his previous first offer! It was truly a pleasure working with Johnny, he has the most charismatic nature, professional, and a very genuine person, and I would highly recommend Johnny to anyone selling or buying. Thank you, Johnny you are amazing! "

Trust and Confidence

Sharron Trainor - Seller

"I would like to say how absolutely great it has been having Johnny in charge of selling my property. It's so cool to be able to find someone that you can totally trust in this day and age, with probably your most valued possession.
Right from the start I knew I could have the utmost confidence in Johnny and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I was right and he delivered. He made it so easy. He had his finger on the pulse of everything and kept me updated with every move and more.
I recommend to anyone and everyone that's thinking of buying or selling a property to go with Johnny. He says what he's going to do and he does what he says he's going to do. You can't get better than that. Thank you so much Johnny"

Over and Above

S. Warrington - Seller

"I owned a home in Wattle Downs and rented it out when I relocated to Papamoa. I contacted Johnny to sell my home in Wattle Downs and he went over and above his role as a salesperson. He helped with some maintenance on my home and had the grounds tidied up to get the house ready to sell. Without Johnny's help, it would have been very difficult to get the house ready and saleable. I highly recommend Johnny and his professional manner and willingness to go that extra mile."

Exceptional

P Headington – Seller

"I found Johnny to be very professional in his approach with both buyers and sellers. He tried to understand what both sides truly wanted and set about bringing the two together. It worked very well in my case. My house was sold in four days.
I would highly recommend Johnny as a real estate salesperson, as my whole experience with him has been nothing but exceptional. Johnny gave us excellent feedback, was professional at all times and a joy to work with."

Great Communication and Professionalism

C & G O'Kane - Seller

"It was with some apprehension we approached Johnny to sell our house, our home of 32 years. It having been many years since we had sold a house and only once in our 55 years of married life, we were not sure where to start. Johnny made it very worry-free and conducted the whole process with utter professionalism. We were kept constantly up to date with what was happening, and all of our questions were answered no matter how trivial they may have seemed. This all made the process relatively stress free for us.
We were pleasantly surprised when the house sold after only three weekends of open homes. As we pack up and down-size to move to a retirement village in our neighbourhood, Johnny is still keeping an eye on us and assisting where needed. In fact, much more than we expect. For this we are more than very grateful."

Professionalism and Honesty

Mark Dixon – Seller & Purchaser

"After the sale and purchase of our fifth property through your efforts Johnny, Jacqui and I would like to express our thanks. It is especially pleasing to once again have our property so carefully marketed and sold quickly with the minimum of fuss and so few hiccups along the way. We certainly appreciate your professionalism and the honest way you have conducted your dealings with us.
With the recent bad publicity and our own displeasure with some members of your profession, you can be assured that we will continue to avail ourselves of your services in the future. Our best wishes and thanks to yourself and family for the future."

Professional, Friendly and Knowledgeable

Mark Dixon

"I would like to say how fortunate my husband and I were to have Johnny our real estate agent when we bought our property in Beaumonts Way, Manurewa. We found him very approachable, easily contactable, friendly, and very knowledgeable, all of which helped to make a difficult and stressful process very easy and proceed smoothly. We found he acted very professionally at all times and would not hesitate to ask for his services if needs be again on the future."

Angie Sun & Angus Wang - Buyer

Best and most professional agent we met and his advice has changed our minds and lives
Johnny helps us to not miss this wonderful house and area. During the whole period, he always considered our situation and provided his suggestions at any time if we needed. His hard work and kind support encouraged us to choose a better life than we thought before. All information he told us is extremely helpful and even after the business, he is still a great friend for us and is willing to provide his help for us at any time for anything he could.
My family including my parents all appreciated his help and we are so excited to move in our first home and be his neighbours.
Professional for Wattle downs and Manurewa area because we focused on these areas, haha, and we believe he is the top professional agent for other areas as well.

Johnny exceeded every expectation at every turn.

Luke And Jess - Seller

We could not be more complimentary of Johnny.
He was honest throughout and set up realistic expectations from the beginning. Johnny was available for any questions and never grew tired. We felt advocated for and he worked hard to meet our deadlines, selling our property in record time.
Johnny was able to identify serious buyers and recognised the right deal with the right motivation.
Johnny was true to every word. His enthusiasm was infectious. He brought empathy to what it means to sell your home and we felt we were dealing with a friend. Things just felt easier with Johnny at the helm.
We rate Johnny as highly as we could in every aspect of selling a property.

Anon - Seller

Johnny was very personable and the breadth of his knowledge meant that I could ask any question, no matter how foolish and he would answer promptly and well. He also displayed an excellent grasp of the house prices in my area. Would definitely recommend him to friends.

Outstanding wealth of knowledge, professionalism, transparent communicator

Dean And Pandora - Seller

24 years ago, we purchased the property from Johnny and returned 24 years later to sell it as we had such a positive, transparent professional experience.
Johnny not only has an incredible wealth of knowledge but is very willing to share his knowledge and in doing so provides empowerment and cements an honest connection which he continues to nurture, with the client.
Johnny is not only incredibly driven, he prides himself on his integrity all the while exhibiting empathy, and keeping the lines of communication open at all times, resulting in a win win outcome. We will continue to recommend Johnny services.

Better than good!

Anon - Seller

Johnny Cleven has just helped me sell a property. I could not be more pleased with Johnny's professionalism and the sale price we got. Right from the start Johnny's messages were clear, concise, and factually accurate. Everything he said he would do was done.
To say he went above and beyond my expectations would not only be cliche' but also woefully understating what happened.
I cannot recommend Johnny highly enough to anyone buying or selling a property

Johnny is the agent you need on your side!!

Anon - Seller

Johnny's high energy and friendly disposition makes him extremely likeable and approachable and together with his successes selling homes in the area, gave me confidence that I made the right decision choosing Johnny to sell my property. Johnny was all in from day 1 and he always made himself available to me at all hours, something that was absolutely critical for me as I live in Europe. Johnny maintained regular contact with me via email and by phone, ensuring I was well-briefed every step of the way. All decisions that needed to be made, we discussed and
agreed to so I always felt in control of the whole process. Johnny went over and above to get me a great result and he did this in the time he said he would.
If you want an agent who is fully committed and someone that you can trust with one of your greatest assets, then Johnny is the agent you need on your side.
