About Liam
Christchurch born and bred, living and working in the garden city during its rebuilding and development was a no-brainer for Liam when entering the real estate industry. Liam advanced his skills of negotiation, problem-solving, and analysis in his previous role as an Intelligence Analyst with the New Zealand police. He now applies these skills on behalf of his real estate clients, giving him the ability to take a holistic approach to all situations. Always positive and forward-thinking, Liam understands that real estate is a 'people industry' and builds long-lasting, trust-based relationships. Liam is a proud dad to Freddie and Monty, and anybody who has young children will appreciate the art of negotiation serves him well when it comes to the boys! Liam's energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and he prides himself on doing the best by people. Client feedback such as "... this is an absolute testament to your integrity and decency" means far more to him than a flashy suit and a shiny car.

About Mark
With over 14 years of experience in sales—nine of which were in leadership roles within the transport and logistics sector—I bring a values-driven, relationship-first approach to real estate. Known for my professionalism, adaptability, and strategic mindset, I've built my career in high-pressure, results-focused environments, working with both major corporates and fast-moving start-ups. For me, real estate represents the ultimate intersection of challenge, communication, and personal connection. It’s not about selling a product; it’s about guiding people through some of the most significant milestones of their lives, whether that’s buying their first home, upsizing for a growing family, or navigating change after a major life event. I’m drawn to this industry for its high-trust, high-stakes nature. I thrive on the competitive edge—where strong marketing, effective communication, and skilled negotiation truly make a difference. I chose to work with Bayleys because of its reputation as New Zealand’s most professional and high-performing real estate brand, and I’m proud to be part of a team that consistently sets the standard. I understand the value of going above and beyond for every client, and I know that genuine relationships, built on trust, transparency, and results, are the foundation of future success. I take the time to understand people, solve complex problems, and deliver solutions that are both strategic and deeply personalized. Passionate about property, people, and performance, I bring energy, focus, and structure to every listing. I’m driven by the opportunity to help my clients achieve their goals—not just through great results, but by making the experience as smooth, supportive, and rewarding as possible.

Liam was great to deal with. Happy to communicate with us promptly and work together.

Liam was prompt and good with communication. Easy to engage with. There was a wee moment of pressure at one point....but it resolved itself. Liam was able to answer most questions pretty well and pretty promptly so made it easy to keep moving ahead. Liam exuded a friendly but professional manner for the duration of our involvement. I think he worked well on behalf of the vendor without making us feel like we were also not valuable in the transaction (which I think is really important).

Mark was outstanding

Mark was outstanding

Mark helped make the journey as smooth as possible. He's all about the facts and numbers. Every bit of advice came with comparable sales and real data behind it, so we always knew where we stood. He was straight up with us the whole way through. No spin, no empty promises, and he always came with a solution rather than just a problem. That's why we trusted him. He put in a lot of work behind the scenes to get the sale across the line, and he went above and beyond for my wife and me throughout the campaign. Always easy to reach, kept us in the loop, and when issues came up he was solution focused and sorted them quickly without any fuss. If you want an agent who's honest, knows his numbers and genuinely looks after his clients, go with Mark.

Mike did the job.

Mike did the job.

From the minute I met Mark, I thought he was the guy that would do the business for us. We had made a decision to sell our rental property in New Brighton Christchurch. After having a couple of Real Estate agents approaches. I took a punt on Mark and it definitely paid off. Mark was very efficient reliable and honest. He gave us a very good guideline on what we should do to prepare the property for sale. Mark presented a very good plan.Mark followed the process he outlined. He then achieved the sale of the property at a price that we thought was very fair and in a very quick timeframe. Thank you, Mark.
