A driven, detail orientated and reliable individual who thrives in a challenging and competitive environment.
I am a Hawke’s Bay local who gained management experience in the timber industry in various roles over 15 years.
Learning the critical success and failures whilst running a medium sized business gave me the confidence to take the step towards becoming self employed as a real estate professional.
This shift has enabled me to build my brand and hone negotiation and marketing skills. My mindset is to ensure that I am helping people to achieve their goals as people and strong relationships are my business.
Giving for Good is an initiative which we have started in line with our 100 years in real estate. This is something I am passionate about with a focus of ensuring the donations are directed at local organisations.
Having reached a stage in my career where I am able to commit to more a directorship would compliment and benefit from my current skill set.
