About Steven de Ruiter
Steven’s innate entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to excellence have seen him become a key figure in Kerikeri’s real estate scene since starting the Real Property Kerikeri over 20 years ago.
Backed by an impressive professional path, he has founded a commercial cleaning business, dabbled in the culinary arts as a chef and propelled Kerikeri Pies into a thriving local business, before turning his hand to property investment and life coaching.
One of life’s most likeable over-achievers, Steven has infused the agency with his dynamic leadership style, focusing on ethical practices, client-focused service, and community involvement, while always keeping it ‘real’.
His approach to real estate is underpinned by an ethos of ‘work hard, tell the truth, and have fun’, a mantra that shines through in every transaction. Even with years of experience under his belt, he still gets excited each time a first-home buyer walks through the door and he’s able to help them realise their dreams.
A real family man and self-professed ice-bath enthusiast, downtime is reserved for spending time with his partner, kids and grandkids, out on the boat or just enjoying the beautiful local environment.

Client Testimonials
Clean, stress free process
When I chose to sell with REAL, it was quite a difficult time for me. REAL treated me with sensitivity and provided good information, advice and guidance. REAL made it a clean, stress free process both in the selling my home purchasing a new one.
Great experience with REAL
Buying or selling real estate is one of the most stressful times in your life, but we have found this experience with REAL to be the opposite.
That little bit 'extra'
We found ourselves attracted to REAL as they have that little bit ‘extra’ that we began to enjoy and appreciate while making the important decision to buy. We’d like to pass on our gratitude for the assistance given by REAL.
