As a founding director of The Collective, I’m proud to work alongside a team that values innovation, integrity, and always putting people first. I collaborate closely with clients and professionals, listen carefully, act with precision, & deliver results.

I chose Dunedin to be my home after moving down from Tauranga in 1987 to attend Otago University—and I’ve never looked back. I love this city, I love the South Island, and I genuinely believe Dunedin is one of the best places in New Zealand to live and do business.

After three memorable years as a scarfie, I joined the police and served in Auckland & Dunedin. After a decade of public service, I shifted to the private sector and discovered a passion for real estate. More than 20 years later, I’m still in the game, and now proud to be a co-owner and director of The Collective.

At The Collective, I work alongside a talented team who share the same values—hard work, authenticity, innovation, and a true commitment to putting clients first. We’re entrepreneurs at heart, always looking for smarter ways to market and streamline the sales process.

I bring a perfectionist’s mindset to every property I list, because after all, it’s not about me. It’s about you.

If you're looking for an experienced, down-to-earth real estate expert who knows Dunedin inside and out, feel free to reach out to me or one of our trusted team members today.

I bring over 20 years of real estate experience, backed by a business degree from Otago University and a decade of service in the New Zealand Police.

I take a no-nonsense, results-focused approach—balancing professional precision with genuine care.

Director—The Collective Realty.

Testimonials

James & Erin Doleman

""It’s been a month since we sold our home and we still wake up buzzing with how well it all went. Without a doubt we can say the successful sale of our home was down to Lawrence’s outstanding effort, experience and amazing advice. This was our first time selling a house and we started the experience being a bit scared and confused by the ins and outs of real estate, however, after working with Lawrence we have completely changed our view on this! He was so approachable and made the whole experience enjoyable and seamless. Lawrence is the ultimate professional; giving clear and helpful advice, including tips on how to best present our home to potential buyers. Thank you so much Lawrence, we can’t recommend you highly enough!""

""I have had the pleasure of working with Lawrence as purchaser and vendor, and in both cases have been left in no doubt that he gives his total commitment to the vendor. I believe his strength lies in excellent communication skills, alongside a highly professional attitude, backed by years in the industry. During a recent sale Lawrence advised on all matters pertaining to presentation, he was clear about what he and Metro would provide, and we all worked as a team to ensure his guidelines were met. As a result of this and his concerted effort over a two week period he achieved a wonderful outcome. I can highly recommend Lawrence as an advisor and agent. He genuinely cares about his clients and their aspirations whether buying or selling and works hard to achieve the goals decided on. Thank you Lawrence, from all our family.""
