Glyn has spent more than 30 years in the IT industry, nearly half of that in large corporate service management roles, ensuring that clients needs and expectations were met or exceeded. He sees Real Estate as very much a service industry where an agent should build strong, lasting relationships with clients based on mutual trust, honesty and shared goals. He is very proud to call himself a Kumeu local, having moved to a lifestyle block more than 13 years ago. During that time he has been actively involved with the Kumeu Small Landowners Association (a group offering knowledge and support for small block owners) filling many roles from committee member and is currently both President and Editor. His own transition from ‘townie’ to ‘blockie’ was a steep learning curve and is sure to be able to provide valuable guidance for others on a similar journey. He is a volunteer patroller with the Nor-west Community Patrol, a group of more than fifty volunteers help to provide additional ‘eyes and ears’ for the local police. He has been a motorsport competitor in both track and Targa rally events and retains an active interest in both motorsport and classic cars. Being able to work and live in a community that he loves was a big motivation for him to enter the Real Estate industry. His approach to Real Estate is quite simple... “To treat others how I like to be treated myself”. This philosophy is frequently overlooked, particularly when contracts and money are involved, but it is a principle that has proved successful throughout his career and one that will remain as his guide.
