His background in hospitality shaped his focus on people, while studies in social science and psychology gave him an intuitive understanding of what really drives buyer decisions.
Born into a real-estate family in Taiwan, Jev’s passion for property started early and continues today in Hobsonville and Hobsonville Point, where he and his partner have built their home. You will often spot him on the Coastal Walkway with his dog, Pie-Pie, enjoying the lifestyle he now helps others find.

With an impressive 94% sales success rate, their blend of creative marketing, data-led strategy, and genuine care delivers results that stand out.
Jevin Chao was our listing agent when we sold our house, and we are very impressed with his work and efficiency, so we worked with him again when we bought our new home. He made a smart, feasible and logical schedule for our listing campaign and provided very thorough and precise information on vendor reports every week. He cared about our rights and interests in every negotiation no matter with buyers or other agents. We can see Jevin has a passion for his work and he is a super-intelligent guy. He replied to all questions we asked and answered our call even at 6 am early morning. He is a responsible, stable and positive property agent. We believe Jevin will have a fantastic achievement in this industry with no doubt.

An agent who is always professional and willing to help. I came across Jevin while attending a view under his listing. Jevin struck me as super efficient, friendly, honest and professional. I can tell that he's so passionate about his job and so genuine about all advice he gives. I started to rely on Jevin as my purchaser agent for my ongoing hunt in 2021. He is the one who always arrived on time and earlier than me. He prepares well before attending all view appointments. Every question I asked got answered. Jevin is not the first real estate agent that I used but is the best one I can trust - as a professional I know how hard it is to gain that kind of trust and confidence. I will definitely get in touch with him in the first place should I consider selling. I wish Jevin keeps his professionalism and passion - definitely recommend him to be your agent.
