Sue Knowles brings a wealth of understanding and maturity to her role as a Property Manager, with a background in management and property ownership dating back to her early twenties. Since beginning her property management career in 2007, Sue has built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for both landlords and tenants.

She values the opportunity EVES provides to grow her business within a supportive and well-resourced environment. Sue attributes her success to her love of the job — balancing multiple responsibilities, maintaining properties to a high standard, carefully matching tenants to homes, and achieving outstanding outcomes for her clients.

“I value both landlords and tenants and build strong working relationships where tenants take pride in their homes as if they were their own, and landlords trust my judgment.”

Sue actively engages in EVES’ ongoing training and collaborative culture to stay at the forefront of industry standards. She believes that a “happy tenancy” — one where everyone feels respected and secure — is the foundation of effective property management.
Outside of work, Sue enjoys horse riding — including trekking, hunting, and dressage — as well as mountain biking. Her close-knit family fully supports her busy, rewarding lifestyle.

Here’s what Sue’s landlords are saying:

“We’re writing to recommend Sue Knowles from EVES Rotorua. When Sue stepped in, she inherited quite a mess from our previous property manager and turned things around impressively.
Sue came highly recommended by her tenants — which speaks volumes. She immediately identified and resolved issues we weren’t even aware of, guiding us through a difficult tenancy situation with professionalism and care. Throughout the process, she kept us well informed and ensured fairness for everyone involved.

What stands out most about Sue is her rare balance of friendliness and professionalism. She works effectively for both tenants and owners — something we’ve found uncommon in property management. We only wish we’d found her sooner, as our earlier experience had us seriously considering selling our investment property.
If you’re a property owner looking for reliable management that genuinely respects both your interests and your tenants, we couldn’t recommend Sue more highly.”
