Team O'Flaherty
Your Salespeople: John & Maria O'Flaherty
Over the years, Maria and John have learnt that selling your home requires just as much listening as it does talking! Surprised? Let them explain.
Listening isn’t just hearing – it’s understanding, comprehending, and responding appropriately. The O’Flaherty team are committed to actively listening to you in order to understand how they can best meet your needs. Whether you need to sell quickly or have a few months up your sleeve, they’re focused on achieving your desired results and making the process as stress-free as possible.
With a combined 50 years of experience in real estate, and having worked in the industry since 1999, Maria and John know how to navigate an ever-changing market. They are proud to have built their business on trust, communication, and results.
John and Maria are a true team, combining their strengths to provide the best possible real estate service in Lower Hutt. Through networking, strong relationships, hard work, and creative, eye-catching marketing, they work to connect the right buyers with your home to achieve the best outcome.
Outside of real estate, Maria and John are proud family people with three grown children and five grandchildren, which keeps life full, busy, and grounded. With backgrounds in art, design, and engineering, they bring together creativity and precision – a combination that makes attention to detail and people skills their greatest assets.

I highly recommend Maria and John to anyone looking to sell their property. Their exceptional skills, deep market knowledge, and strategic approach made the entire selling process smooth and successful. What truly stood out was their unwavering support and guidance throughout the process. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend Maria and John.

Finding the right house can be nerve-wracking, time consuming and very frustrating. Maria & John knew what we were after. They made sure we were well informed on every aspect of our purchase. Some areas were surprisingly easier to deal with than we thought. Great sense of humor as well making the process a lot easier for our peace of mind.

Proudly Supporting the Child Cancer Foundation since 1994
Since 1994, we have proudly supported the Child Cancer Foundation, a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts. Over the years, we have raised over $5.6 million to help the Foundation continue their amazing work, and we are honoured to be a “Superhero” Partner.
For every house we sell, we donate to the Child Cancer Foundation. Additionally, we actively participate in the Annual Street Appeal, Wig Wednesday, and various other fundraising events throughout the year. We believe that every child deserves a chance to live a healthy and happy life, and we are committed to making a difference.
