Marcus Hill

Licensee Salesperson


It is an exceptional person who can lay claim to a career that spans over 30 years in real estate. Marcus Hill can. Born in the UK, Marcus comes from a long line of school-teachers but seriously considered becoming a farmer when he left school. Instead he embarked on a career as an estate agent. After completing an Estate Management Certificate from Reading University he joined a large general practice. Later, he developed and built a flourishing real estate firm in the Midlands. With business partner Mike he ran it successfully for over 10 years in conjunction with other partners. Operating with 9 offices and 82 employees they also established a large country homes division and new homes department comprising a diverse range of property services including valuations, liquidations and planning consents.

Trusted, sociable, and an expert negotiator with a significant track record, Marcus has extensive connections both urban and rural.

In 2000, a Kiwi friend was looking to move back to New Zealand and buy property and convinced Marcus to accompany him on a trip that was to change the course of his life. Three years later Marcus sold his share of the business in the UK and with wife Emma and then three-year-old son Charles moved to New Zealand.

Following stints in Auckland in real estate and recruitment and as Sales Manager for a construction company, Marcus approached Megan Jaffe and became one of the early members of her Ray White Remuera team in 2008.

Living and working in Remuera, Marcus set about focussing on serving clients in this community. But in one of those twists of fate which seem to follow Marcus around, he found himself selling a property in Karaka a few years back. When he successfully sold that property much to the profound gratitude of his vendors, he was asked to sell another nearby and before he knew it he was the only Karaka and Drury real estate specialist based in Remuera. The paradox is that many buyers of the properties he markets in this beautiful rural region migrate from the city. Marcus’s capacity to get results for his residential contacts in Remuera and also to serve his rural client base is hugely beneficial to both parties.

Trusted, sociable, and an expert negotiator with a significant track record, Marcus has extensive connections both urban and rural. His leisure time is spent with family, renovating his old villa in heartland Remuera, walking the dog and taking his Honda VFR motorbike for a ride on the open road.

What people are saying

Marcus Hill was recommended as the right agent to handle the sale of my property. The advice came from a most reliable source and It was quickly obvious that the introduction was ‘on the money’. Dedicated, thorough, obliging and reliable is how I would describe him. Fun to work with also. Marcus is a most genial and genuine person in an industry with it’s share of pretenders.

Leighton Smith

This is not the first time we have used Marcus to sell our home, and once again, he did not disappoint. He ran a thoroughly considered campaign, matching our home with appropriate purchasers and this saw us get an acceptable offer on the second weekend of open homes.

Dean Starnes

Marcus has bought and sold a number of properties on our behalf, and what I have come to appreciate and value with Marcus is how proactive, caring and thoughtful he is. He draws on his deep understanding of the property market to ensure that the experience for the buyer/seller is as stress-free as possible. He is down to earth, and as I got to know Marcus more, I felt I was selling a house with a friend that was always acting in my best interest. I have no hesitation in recommending Marcus, and Ray White Remuera.

Guy Stephens

We have known Marcus Hill for the past few years and over that time he has sold two properties for us. We have been fortunate to have him on our side. Marcus is very professional. We have found him to be polite, approachable and an excellent communicator. He would always call to let us know of any new developments, no matter how big or small. which we really appreciated. Somehow he makes you feel as though you are his only client and he has your best interests at heart. We have very much enjoyed working with him. We would recommend Marcus to anyone wishing to sell their home as they can be assured that he will work very hard to bring about a successful result for you.

Margaret & Enzo

Working with Marcus Hill to sell my apartment was a standout experience. He secured a great deal just before Christmas and guided me expertly through the process. Marcus not only ensured a successful sale but also helped me navigate the market to find an excellent new opportunity. His support and expertise made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Marcus Hill for anyone seeking a top-notch agent.

David

In all our dealings with Marcus we found him to be totally professional in every regard. He is a true gentleman, gave us expert advice and made us feel that he genuinely cared about our sale. Nothing was too much for him and we both regard him as being the best real estate professional that we have ever dealt with.

Enzo Bettio

Marcus was extremely professional and we always felt that he had our best interest at heart. He managed to structure an agreement for us that allowed us time to work through a process and to ultimately purchase a property that we love. Marcus knew it would suit us before we did!

Nichole Symonds

We stumbled across Marcus at an Open Home and got talking about a house we owned that was taking a while to sell. Marcus offered to take a look and within 3 weeks presented us with 3 good offers. Where others had given us excuses, Marcus got results. We found him to be honest, hard working and very flexible. He gave us good advice without any pressure to influence our decision one way or the other. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marcus and he will be the first person we call next time we have property to sell.

Debbie Starnes

We have been very fortunate to have had Marcus Hill sell both our sons apartment in the City and our own beautiful home in the country. Our home was never going to be easy to sell because of its size and price range. However Marcus went out of his way and gave 110 percent to get as many people through as was possible in the price bracket to find the right buyer. We were kept fully informed at all times and although Marcus became a good friend his professionalism never faltered. His outstanding dedication to us as vendors was something we had never experienced before. We would have no hesitation what so ever in recommending any prospective vendor or buyer get in touch with Marcus. You will always know Marcus is working as hard as he can to obtain a successful outcome for each individual. Thank you Marcus for everything especially under the unusual circumstances It will always be a pleasure to call you our friend.

Lorraine and Jim McChesney

Over the last few years I’ve had the very good fortune of working with Marcus Hill on a number of transactions. When the market was depressed and no other agent could bring us an offer - Marcus brought three. Recently, with a booming market, Marcus worked tirelessly at ensuring the full market potential of our property was realised. He is honest, diligent and trustworthy and I have grown to rely on his sound advice. I have always been particularly impressed at the service he has given and the patience he demonstrates throughout the whole process. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a real estate agent and wish him all the best in the future.

Dean Starnes

From our very first appointment we felt in very capable hands. You remained in constant communication with us, every time there was something new to add, you were on the phone to let us know. “I’ll take care of that”, was a constant catch phrase. Thanks again and all the best for the future.

Rob and Coralee

I would unreservedly recommend your services to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. In a very mercenary world you have unparalleled integrity and a remarkable level of empathy for the people you deal with.

Vendors

From inception to open homes and then auction, we were kept fully informed of every aspect. We believe Marcus, weren’t just marketing a house but could see ours was a property with so much potential for yet another family to love. The process was seamless as he provided care and forethought to each aspect, his advice unquestionable and at all times showed respect, professionalism and consideration in understanding the importance of our decisions. Above and beyond the normal expectations was what we believe. The final outcome being we “sold under the hammer” at auction. What better result could one ask for? We unreservedly recommend Marcus and believe we could have searched Auckland and not found anyone more dedicated to promote our property.

Carole & Stewart

He has kept us up to date through out. Professional, honest, huge experience and probably the nicest realtor we have done business with.

Andrew & Cecilia

Marcus was an easy person to deal with. He worked hard to make the sale and purchase work and to get a result in a tough market. He was respectful and helpful. It was not an easy set of negotiations, but he used his skills to find a way through to an Agreement that worked for both parties. He is an experienced real estate agent who knows his way around real estate.
