All real estate companies are the same. Right? Not so.

Edinburgh Realty was formed in 1995 by three established Dunedin property consultants, who wanted to create a company that worked the way that Otago people work: a company that was friendly, listened properly, communicated openly and got on with the job.

Today,

Edinburgh Realty has more than 25 property consultants working throughout Otago and a large property management team. Our customer base is built upon years of repeat business and referrals – the ultimate compliment in any company, but particularly appreciated at Edinburgh.

Otago focus

One. That's the number of regions Edinburgh Realty concentrates on.

And, within the region, our team covers all property types: residential, commercial, investment, lifestyle and rural.

Independent

Without the constraint of a head office in another island or country, we are able to march to our own tune.

And we do. We offer our customers a quality service, thanks to our excellent property consultants, supported by a hard-working administration team.

Our local knowledge and understanding of trends and market conditions are second to none.

Ownership

Edinburgh Realty’s three founding directors – Peter Wilson, Mike Elford, and Jim Columb – are all still actively involved in the company. Mike and Jim have stepped back from the board table and Peter Wilson has been joined by Mike Dougherty and Lane Sievwright. Lane has been with Edinburgh for 13 years and concentrates on student rental investments, while Mike joined Edinburgh in 2013 and is part of the Lifestyle and Rural team.
