About Steve Brennan

Agent and Business Owner

Established in 2013 by Steve Brennan and Winnie Leung, Forrest Hill Realty is a proudly New Zealand owned and operated agency committed to delivering exceptional results for every client. After years of success operating a Ray White franchise, Steve and Winnie went fully independent to offer a more flexible, transparent, and vendor-focused real estate experience.

With over 20 years of combined experience, they bring unmatched industry knowledge, hands-on service, and a results-first attitude—while offering some of the most competitive commission rates in the market.

At Forrest Hill Realty, Steve and Winnie work 100% for the vendor—every time. Unlike many major brands that often seem to prioritise buyers' interests, Steve and Winnie stand firmly by their vendors, negotiating hard and never underselling.

One recent example says it all:
A Barfoot & Thompson salesperson approached Steve and Winnie to bring a buyer through one of their listings—with a range more than $300,000 below CV. Steve and Winnie knew the property's true value and politely declined. Their approach paid off, achieving a final sale price $400,000 higher than the buyer's initial pitch.
That’s the difference experience, integrity, and loyalty to the vendor can make.

Steve is known for his unshakable focus, energy, and industry know-how. He treats every listing with the same passion and care as if it were his own home. His reputation for honesty, professionalism, and results has earned him the trust of countless clients—many of whom come back time and again.

Whether you’re selling a first home, a family legacy, or an investment property, Steve brings sharp strategy and clear communication to every step of the process.

 

What Others Have Said AboutSteve Brennan

Extremely hard working

Steve and Winnie are amazing. Extremely hard working and did their absolute best when selling our home for us. Fantastic communication at all times. Steve is a patient and warm empathetic person which meant alot along the way, having moved from a home we had loved for many years. These two together I would call the dynamic duo and highly recommend them if your selling or buying. Melissa - 27a Becroft Drive Forrest Hill
