Since becoming a Rental Assistant and then Property Manager in 2006, James has prided himself on listening to his landlords and thinking creatively to achieve a win/win outcome. His previous background as a Tenancy Mediator means he has excellent knowledge of the Residential Tenancies Act and Tenancy Tribunal procedures as well as well-honed negotiation skills.

James enjoys working in the Mt. Roskill area because of its great ethnic mix and the wide variety of people and homes. He regards his experience of seven years teaching English as a second language overseas as an excellent foundation for working with people from different cultural/ linguistic backgrounds. He takes particular pleasure in working for the Barfoot & Thompson Mt. Roskill branch which has a great team of people.

James has three children and is involved in coaching soccer to kids. He also speaks fluent Japanese which ties in well with his interest in the martial arts (having attained black belts in both Karate and Aikido).
