If you asked me what I love about real estate, I’d say it would have to be the interaction with others, getting to know my clients and building solid working relationships with them, with the aim of achieving a win-win outcome for all. Mine is a job where you actually have the chance to change people’s lives.

I’m thrilled to be working with Barfoot & Thompson. The company’s reputation and culture was what attracted me to the business, but we also share a vision of what is important in life - People, Family, Diversity and Community.

Doing what I love in the Bay of Plenty, at the newly opened Omokoroa branch is the perfect lifestyle for me. I’ve lived here in the Bay for more than 40 years and over that time I have come to know the local people intimately in Te Puna, Whakamarama, Omokoroa, Pahoia, Aongatete, Bethlehem and beyond. Known as the fruit bowl of New Zealand, here in the Bay we are surrounded by horticulture and innovation.

I have owned or worked in and around orchards and farms and I currently own an avocado orchard. I am married and the most important thing to me is being a father of three and doing all that is right by my children. I love art and am a passionate artist myself. I also have a much-loved Golden Retriever.

I like to support the local schools and my charities of choice are the Westpac Helicopter and the Leukemia and Blood Cancer Foundation.

I believe in ethical business, with a large dose of integrity and trust. Call me at Barfoot & Thompson Omokoroa and let me help you discover the joys and beauty of the Bays.
