About Thomas
As a dedicated real estate sales consultant, I specialise in residential and lifestyle properties throughout Papamoa, Mount Maunganui, and Tauranga. My journey in real estate began with an internship at Tremains Real Estate, where I quickly proved my ability and passion for the industry. Since then, I’ve established myself as a trusted agent in the marketplace, delivering successful outcomes for my clients. With four years of experience in the building trade, I bring a unique set of insights and a deep understanding of property construction to my real estate practice. This knowledge allows me to better assess properties and advise clients with a comprehensive perspective. My approach to real estate is grounded in a down-to-earth attitude, paired with a high level of enthusiasm and a deep passion for helping clients achieve their property goals. I have been fortunate to receive mentorship from some of the most respected and successful salespeople in the industry, which has equipped me with proven strategies that drive high success rates. In addition to my career in real estate, I also had the opportunity to feature on the popular TV show The Block NZ for four seasons, where I gained further exposure to property renovation and design, adding to my overall skill set. Each transaction is approached with a personalised strategy, tailored to the unique needs of my clients. I believe that every property and situation requires an individualised approach to ensure the best possible results. Don’t just take my word for it – check out my past client reviews to see how I’ve consistently exceeded expectations and delivered results.

Helpful advice, solid knowledge and always available when it mattered

Kurt was great to work with throughout our home-buying journey. His local knowledge of the Papamoa market was a real asset, and he kept us up to date on new listings, price movements, and what was actually happening in the area, which made a real difference to our buying strategy. He was always available to answer questions or talk through our options, and never made us feel like we were bothering him. Straightforward, friendly, and easy to deal with from start to finish. Would recommend Kurt without hesitation to anyone looking to buy in the area.
