Since 2007, I've helped North Shore homeowners achieve their property goals with honest advice, strong negotiation and genuine personal service. Based in Browns Bay, I have particular experience across Torbay, Browns Bay and the East Coast Bays.
For almost two decades, I've had the privilege of helping Auckland homeowners navigate one of life's biggest decisions. Since beginning my real estate career in 2007, I've learnt that successful real estate isn't simply about property. It's about understanding people, listening carefully and earning their trust.
Based at Barfoot & Thompson Browns Bay, I work across Auckland's North Shore, with particular experience in Browns Bay, Torbay and the East Coast Bays. From family homes and investment properties to units, cross-lease properties and deceased estates, every property and every client's circumstances are different. My job is to understand what matters to you and develop the right strategy around it.
Negotiation is one of my greatest strengths. Nearly two decades in real estate, together with my background in senior management and recruitment, have taught me how to communicate effectively, solve problems and bring people together to achieve the best possible outcome.
I believe good real estate advice should be honest and realistic. I'll tell you what I genuinely think, explain the reasoning behind my advice and keep you informed throughout the process. You shouldn't have to wonder what's happening with the sale of one of your biggest assets.
That commitment to communication and personal service has resulted in repeat clients, referrals and relationships that have continued long after the SOLD sign has gone up. I consider that one of the greatest compliments I can receive.
I'm also proud to be part of the North Shore community. For me, being a local real estate salesperson isn't simply about selling property here. It's about contributing to the community and looking after the people who call it home.
Whether you're considering selling, buying, downsizing, managing an estate or simply wondering what your property may be worth in today's market, I'm always happy to have a conversation.

Nearly 20 years of experience. Local knowledge. Honest advice.
Real estate has been my career since 2007, and after almost two decades in the industry, I still believe the most important part of what I do isn't property. It's people.
Based at Barfoot & Thompson Browns Bay, I work across Auckland's North Shore, with particular experience in Browns Bay, Torbay and the East Coast Bays. I've worked with everything from family homes and investment properties to units, cross-lease properties and deceased estates.
My approach is straightforward: honest advice, clear communication and a strategy built around your property and circumstances. I won't tell you what I think you want to hear simply to win your business. I'd rather give you realistic advice, explain why I believe it's right and help you make an informed decision.
Negotiation is one of my greatest strengths. Every buyer has different motivations and every sale presents different challenges. Understanding people, asking the right questions and knowing when to push, when to listen and when to find common ground can make a very real difference to the final result.
Communication is equally important to me. If you entrust me with the sale of one of your biggest assets, you deserve to know what's happening. I provide regular feedback, detailed reporting and open conversations throughout the campaign, including when the news isn't necessarily what we hoped for.
Much of my business has come through repeat clients and referrals, something I'm incredibly proud of. To me, there is no greater compliment than someone trusting me again or recommending me to someone they care about.
If you're considering selling, buying, downsizing, dealing with an estate, or simply want an honest conversation about your property's value and the current market, I'd be very happy to help.
