About Hamish
Hamish has been hands-on in the agricultural sector for his whole career, gaining incredible depth of knowledge alongside an impeccable reputation for honesty and hard work. So when he turned his focus to rural real estate, this solid and wide-ranging experience saw him to rise to the top 5% of Bayleys salespeople nationwide, within just over two years. His experience began straight after St Andrew's College, joining the then Stock and Station Division of Pyne Gould Guinness, working as a stock agent and looking after clients in the Fairlie and Mackenzie Basin. In 2002 he co-founded the livestock company Peter Walsh & Associates, spending 15 years there before beginning farming on his own account. Hamish now leases his farm out, to fully commit to his successful real estate career. He now heads up Team Lane, based out of Bayleys Canterbury’s Timaru office and focusing on rural properties, from farming to residential to lifestyle. Hamish’s auctioneering skills took him to many sale yards across Canterbury, as well as to on-farm sales and charity auctions. The result is that he is known and trusted across the South Island, with a contacts list built up of solid, years-long relationships. Hamish enjoys dealing with people from all walks of life. You can rest assured that when dealing with Hamish, you’re getting access to genuine knowledge, built up over years, of what makes rural places – and rural people – tick. Hamish and his wife, Jo, have three daughters, now young adults. The family enjoys golf, shooting, travelling and going on excursions with their campervan. Hamish is a member of the Fairlie Lions and has served on a number of business and community focused boards.

Outstanding

We found Hamish to be very professional with a relaxed manner. He talked us through our marketing options and offered sound advice. Hamish's previous experience as a stock agent gives him that extra knowledge and understanding. Hamish kept us updated with progress throughout the marketing of our farm and we would highly recommend him.

Great experience with team Lane

I had a really good experience selling my property with Hamish. The marketing was outstanding especially the campaign around the property. The photography made the property shine. Hamish’s communication was great. I was kept updated, from feedback to buyer activity. He handled everything professionally and made the sale process easy for me. I’m happy with the result and would highly recommend Hamish to anyone looking to sell.

Fantastic agent to work with.

Shona was fantastic to work with selling our Dads house. She kept us updated every step of the way, and went the extra mile liaising with contractors when we were preparing the house for sale and couldn’t be on site. I’d recommend her to anyone selling their house in the south Canterbury region. She gets the job done!

Exceptional service from Team Lane

Selling our first home was a big step, and Team Lane at Bayley's made the entire process smooth, transparent, and stress free. From the very first meeting, their communication was clear and consistent. We always knew what was happening and what to expect next. They guided us through every stage with professionalism and care, offering honest advice and a strong understanding of the local market. We had a good understanding of the auction process and were thrilled to have a pre auction offer and sell our house after it was only on the market for a few weeks. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling our first home and would highly recommend Hamish Lane & Holly Lane to anyone looking for trustworthy and result driven real estate agents.
