My career spans the full end-to-end property development lifecycle: from section acquisition, council consent navigation, construction management through to final sales. This hands-on background equips me with comprehensive, in-depth insights into construction standards, architectural design logic and residential development workflows that most agents lack. Leveraging my unique trade and build background, I can accurately pinpoint every property’s unique selling points, enabling me to deliver approachable, reliable and precise market appraisals that reflect a property’s true value, structural merits and untapped potential. I deliver bespoke, tailored property investment strategies for developers and private investors alike. Drawing on frontline construction experience, I can proactively identify hidden risks within development projects and property investment portfolios before they escalate. I possess sharp market intuition, with a proven track record tracking both domestic New Zealand property cycles and cross-border international real estate trends. Consistently recognised for outstanding sales performance year after year, I have collected tiered accolades spanning branch, regional, national and company-wide awards across multiple consecutive years. Beyond transactional real estate services, I act as a trusted, neutral bridge connecting vendors and buyers. I align both parties’ interests, communicate transparently, and deliver balanced, results-driven outcomes for every client, whether you are selling a family home, purchasing a residential property or embarking on a large-scale development project.

#10 Individual Salesperson, West Auckland Region, to end March 2021 #8 Individual Salesperson, West Auckland Region, 6 months ending September 2020 When it comes to real estate, I live my philosophy – to treat my clients well at all times, and act with integrity and professionalism. The key to the successful sale of any property is strategic marketing, personalised to suit the property’s individual requirements. I want my clients to be delighted with the results achieved. To be recommended to their family and friends is the greatest compliment I can receive and one for which I strive. I respect the trust my clients put with me to sell their most valuable asset. “Clive has, over the past couple of months, been an absolute pleasure to work with.” Haynes Family Trust “Clive excels in both expertise and emotional encouragement during this stressful time.” Michelle & Rory “Clive was honest, positive, respectful and energetic from the time we first made an appointment to market our home.” Jeff & Renee Prior to entering real estate, I worked in various credit control positions and for the NZ Police which was an exciting and challenging experience. Through this, I developed key skills - being organised, methodical and professional. I decided to join Barfoot & Thompson, a family-owned company whose values coincide closely with my own. It's my aim to do just as the company has done. To build myself a positive reputation that will stand the test of time. Barfoot & Thompson’s network of offices and their unique structure enables me to list and sell throughout the Auckland region. On a personal level, I enjoy spending time with my family, of whom I’m immensely proud. I have been married for over 31 years to my lovely wife Lorraine, and have had the privilege of seeing both my son and daughter graduate in their specific careers. I also love to play golf although sadly, I’m not the greatest golfer and I don’t have much time to play these days. I am a well-respected and well-known sales professional with the drive to make every transaction a satisfying experience.
