My mum Diane has been a real estate agent for over 25 years, but that didn’t mean I stepped straight into the industry myself. I’ve had a couple of businesses but I also worked in the building industry with my father Murray. I am grateful for the knowledge he has shared with me. It’s nearly two years since I got into real estate and while it was an interesting transition from contractor to salesman, it really helps to have had a building background. So I’ve enjoyed it.
Ray White Real Estate is the fastest growing franchise in NZ and Australia and for good reason. We constantly move and change with the market, and the Gisborne crew are recognised as a hard working and enthusiastic team of professionals. When I joined, I brought with me a good understanding of the industry, not just because of my background, but also because I have bought and sold investment properties myself. I knew how to read contracts and fully understand them. And of course to negotiate deals. I’ve had a lot of fun doing deals with property and am very passionate about it. My job is about listening to what people want because everyone has different needs and objectives. We bridge that gap between the seller who wants a dream price and the buyer wanting a good deal. A lot of what you do in real estate is invisible — plenty of behind the scenes work. The deal of the century comes around every two weeks, you just have to be looking for it. I think Wainui is still undervalued, so that’s good buying at the moment. The money is in the land — I am not too concerned about what the building is on top because the value is really in the area of land and location.
When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my5-year-old son Jack — it’s pretty awesome.
