Sales is all I have known since I left school. In fact my sales career started in school selling chocolate cakes to fellow students to finance an interest I then had in skiing. Selling financed my ‘OE’ and for the 12 years I remained in Europe selling supported me. My real estate career kicked off in 2006 with Harcourts in West Auckland. I enjoyed an easy transition into real estate and as a consequence was named Harcourts “Rookie of the Year” in that first year. These days I am based at Harcourts in Mairangi Bay listing and sell properties all over the North Shore. A life in selling has provided me with contact to a variety of people from many different cultures. On reflection it is this experience that has influenced me, and I guess making me the person I am today. Through my years in real estate I have helped a great number of people through a highly stressful and emotional period of their lives in selling their home, and what is usually their largest asset. Many of whom I am now proud to call friends and clients for life as they continue to call on me today to sell their homes as their needs change for one reason or another. Outside of work I have always believed in exercise as a means of balancing my work life and my inclination to enjoy good food and the odd wine. In a slightly more energetic past I have run the London Marathon and completed 2 x Coast to Coasts. These days I run a bit, cycle a bit and swim a bit, and dabble in Tennis.
